Attaching the brackets
The following procedure explains how to attach the brackets to the telescopic slide
rails.
1. Extend the inner server slide rail as far as it will go.
2. Pull the white spring tab on the server slide rail towards its open end and
remove the server slide rail. Set it aside for attaching to the NAS 100 later.

3. Attach the first bracket to the front end (the white end) of the telescopic slide
rail:
a. Locate the alignment screw hole on the front end of the outer telescopic
slide rail and align the bracket with it. The alignment screw hole establishes
where each screw will go in relation to the bracket. For most installations,
the alignment screw hole and bracket alignment will be the one illustrated in
the following figure.

3 Outer telescopic slide rail
Note: You will have to slide the inner ball-bearing slide rail and the inner
telescopic slide rail back and forth to align the oval cutout with the
screw hole so that you can insert the screw.
b. Insert an M4 screw through the bracket and in the alignment screw hole,
fasten a washer and an M4 nut to it, and firmly tighten them. Repeat this
step with three more screws in the remaining holes.
4. Extend the slide rails fully.

5. Loosely attach the next bracket to the back end of the telescopic slide rail with
four more M4 screws, washers, and nuts, as shown in the following figure.

Note: Do not completely tighten these screws until you install the slide rail into
the rack. This will make attaching the slide rail to the rack much easier.
After the slide rail is attached to the rack, you can tighten the screws on
the back bracket.
6. Hold the slide rails with the attached brackets up to the rack and check that the
slide rails and brackets will fit in the rack. Make any necessary adjustments to
the back end of the slide rail and its bracket.
7. Repeat this process with the other telescopic slide rail and brackets.
Note: Make sure that you install the screws in the other telescopic slide rail in
exactly the same places that you installed them in the first telescopic
slide rail.

Mounting the slide rails on the rack
The following procedure explains how to attach the telescopic slide rails to the rack.
1. Determine where on the rack you want to mount the NAS 100.
2. Depending on your rack type, use a screwdriver to insert the cage nuts or slide
the clip nuts into the appropriate holes. You will install two nuts on each side of
the back of the rack and three nuts on each side of the front of the rack (the top
nut is used for the mounting ear on the front of the NAS 100).
Note: Make sure that you insert each of the bottom nuts at the same height on
the rack so that the installed NAS 100 will be level.
