Introduction 0
The Quantum Rack Mount Slide Kit is designed to facilitate the mounting of
2U Rackmount systems in standard EIA-310 equipment racks. These
telescoping slide rails provide easy access to the 2U Rackmount by allowing
you to unlock and slide it forward.
Installing the slide rails involves the following steps:
•Step 1: Installing the Chassis Sections onto the 2U Rackmount Chassis on
page 4
•Step 2: Installing the Stationary Sections onto the Equipment Rack on
page 5
•Step 3: Installing the 2U Rackmount into the Equipment Rack on page 7
Required Tools 0
To install the slide rails, you may need the following additional items:
• Available rack space in a suitable equipment rack
• #1 or #2 PHILLIPS® screwdriver
Warning: For maximum stability, the equipment rack should be securely
bolted to the floor per the rack manufacturer’s
recommendations.
After installing components in the equipment rack, do not pull
out more than one component on its slide rails at a time. If the
equipment rack is not securely bolted to the floor, the weight
of more than one extended component could cause the
equipment rack to become unstable, tip over, and cause
damage, serious bodily injury, or death.

2Loosely install the left and right stationary sections onto the equipment
rack using (8) M6 pan-head PHILLIPS screws. The ends of the stationary
sections go on outside of the equipment rack’s upright rails. See figure 4.
3Securely tighten the back bracket screws onto the equipment rack’s
upright rails.
Note: The stationary sections are marked LEFT and RIGHT. Be sure
to install the sections on the correct sides.
Note: Do not fully tighten the front bracket screws yet – you will do
this later.

Step 3: Installing the 2U Rackmount into the Equipment Rack 0
1Completely extend the intermediate sections out from the front of the
stationary sections until they lock.
2Holding the 2U Rackmount securely, slide the chassis sections through
the plastic lead-in guides at the front of the intermediate sections and into
the intermediate sections.
3Make sure that the chassis sections are both fully engaged with the ball
bearings in the tracks of the intermediate sections.
4Slide the 2U Rackmount all the way into the equipment rack.
5Completely open and close the slides twice, making sure the chassis
sections engage in the stationary sections properly and the locks function
properly.
6Slide the 2U Rackmount out slightly and securely tighten the front
bracket screws onto the equipment rack’s upright rails.
7Completely open and close the slides once more to make sure the unit
does not bind.
8Slide the 2U Rackmount all the way into the rack and secure it in place by
tightening the thumbscrews on each side. See figure 5.
