2 Push the mounting rail forward until the mounting hooks enter their square holes, and then push
down on the mounting-bracket flange until the mounting hooks seat and the push button pops out
and clicks (see Figure 1-5).
3 At the back of the cabinet, pull back on the mounting-bracket flange until the mounting hooks enter
their square holes, and then push down on the flange until the mounting hooks seat and the push
button pops out and clicks.

NOTE: Ensure that the mounting rails are mounted at the same vertical position on both sides of the rack.
Installing the VersaRails Mounting Rails
NOTE: Ensure that the rotating mounting brackets on the slide assemblies are in the VersaRail configuration.
See Figure 1-6.
1 At the front of the rack cabinet, position one of the mounting rails so that its mounting-bracket flange
fits between the marks you placed (or numbered locations) on the vertical rails in "Marking the Rack"
on page 9 (see Figure 1-6).
The three holes on the front of the mounting-bracket flange should align with the holes between the
marks you made on the front vertical rail.
2 Install two 10-32 x 0.5-inch flange-head Phillips screws in the upper and lower holes in the mounting-
bracket flange to secure the mounting rail to the front vertical rail.
3 At the back of the cabinet, pull back on the mounting-bracket flange until the mounting holes align
with their respective holes on the back vertical rail.
4 Install two 10-32 x 0.5-inch flange-head Phillips screws in the upper and lower holes in the mounting-
bracket flange to secure the mounting rail to the back vertical rail.
5 Repeat step 1 through step 4 for the mounting rail on the other side of the rack.
NOTE: Ensure that the mounting rails are mounted at the same position on the vertical rails on each side
of the rack.
