slide mounts in your cabinet. Allow vertical space
for 2U or 4U as appropriate for your enclosure.

7. Repeat the process for the other two front and two rear mounting brackets and slider
assembly on the right side of the cabinet.

both from front to back and from right to left. Once
you’re sure the slide rails are level, you’re ready
to tighten the mounting screws. See the image at
the right.

the front and two rear mounting brackets on each side of the cabinet.
