Installing the Slide Assemblies in the Rack
You can install the slide assemblies in a two-post open-frame rack having either universal-
hole spacing (see Figure 1-13) or wide-hole spacing (see Figure 1-14). You can install the
2-U slide assemblies in either a flush-mount or center-mount configuration.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install another system using this rack kit. Use only
the rack kit intended for your system. Using the rack kit for another system may
result in damage to the system and personal injury to yourself and to others.
Center-Mount Installation
The two-post rack kit is shipped with the brackets configured for center-mount installation.
To complete the installation, perform the following steps:
1 Locate the right slide assembly and push the back bracket toward the back of the slide
assembly (see Figure 1-15).
2 Position the right slide assembly in the two-post rack at the location you marked, push
the back bracket forward against the vertical two-post rack, secure the front center
mounting bracket with two 12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screws, and secure the
back center-mounting bracket to the rack with three 12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head
Phillips screws (see Figure 1-15).
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the left slide assembly in the rack.
4 Install the stiffening bracket between the back ends of the slide assemblies and secure
the bracket with a 12-24 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screw on each slide assembly (see
Figure 1-15).
