2 INSTALLATION
The provided slide rails must be installed prior to installing the KMMLED156 console assembly.
CAUTION: If you are installing more than one unit concurrently, keep the outer slides matched with the inner
slides that are mounted on the slide tray. Rails and slide trays that ship together must be paired together.
Mismatched pairs may result in damage to the slide rail assemblies, slide tray or rack cabinet.
2.1 Installing the Slide Rails in a Standard EIARack
The slide rail assemblies are marked L for the left rail assembly and R for the right rail assembly. The front of both
assemblies are marked FRONT to ensure proper installation in the rack.
The slide rail mounting mechanism has two spring-loaded pins at each end of the rail assembly that retract. The pins fit 10-
32 threaded holes or EIA-standard square- or round-hole racks. The spring-loaded pins self-adjust to adapt to the rack rail
holes.
NOTE: Each set of spring-loaded sleeves is equipped with release tabs to pull and disengage the slide rail assembly.
To install the slide rail assemblies into a rack:
1. Align the two back spring-loaded pins of the slide rail assembly with the corresponding holes on the rack and
pull to secure.
2. Extend the rail assembly to the appropriate length of the rack.
3. Align the two front spring-loaded pins of the slide rail assembly with the corresponding holes on the rack and
push to secure.
NOTE: The release tabs click to indicate the pins are fully engaged.
4. Repeat the steps for the rail on the opposite side of the rack.
