Step 2 Open the front securing plate on both slide-rail assemblies. The front end of the slide-rail assembly has a spring-loaded
securing plate that must be open before you can insert the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes.
On the outside of the assembly, push the green-arrow button toward the rear to open the securing plate.

Step 3 Install the outer slide rails into the rack:
a) Align one slide-rail assembly front end with the front rack-post holes that you want to use.
The slide rail front-end wraps around the outside of the rack post and the mounting pegs enter the rack-post holes
from the outside-front.
The rack post must be between the mounting pegs and the open securing plate.
Note
b) Push the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes from the outside-front.
c) Press the securing plate release button, marked Push. The spring-loaded securing plate closes to lock the pegs in
place.
d) Adjust the slide-rail length, and then push the rear mounting pegs into the corresponding rear rack-post holes.
The rear mounting pegs enter the rear rack-post holes from the inside of the rack post.
e) Attach the second slide-rail assembly to the opposite side of the rack. Ensure that the two slide-rail assemblies are at
the same height and are level front-to-back.
f) Pull the inner slide rails on each assembly out toward the rack front until they hit the internal stops and lock in place.
Step 4 Insert the appliance into the slide rails:
This appliance can weigh up to 60 pounds (27 kilograms) when fully loaded with components. We recommend
