#6-32
2. Take the sliding rail apart by sliding out the center slide. Push down the hook to
separate them. Pull the center slide all the way until it reaches the end.

10
3. Now install the center slide to the rack-mount chassis. Find the screw holes on
both sides of the rack-mount chassis, which are used for mounting the center
slide. Fasten the “#6-32” screws to x the center slides onto chassis. Later, the
center slides will be used for attaching to the sliding rail.
4.Next, attach the two L-shaped mounting brackets on to a sliding rail. Use the
“M4” screws to secure the L-shaped bracket on to the sliding rail.
5. Attach the sliding rail onto a rack-mount cabinet. Secure the sliding rail onto the
rack-mount cabinet via the screw holes on the L-shaped brackets
After properly attaching both sliding rails to the rack-mount cabinet, you may slide
the rack-mount chassis (mounting) in to the cabinet.
