a. The ball retainer for each of the outer slide rails
(B) is drawn forward to the very front of the rack,
Figure 9. You can damage the slide rails if the
inner slide rails (A) do not connect properly with
the ball retainers.
b. Ensure the
nShield Connect is perfectly horizontal
and parallel to the rails. Positioning the nShield
Connect correctly means that the movement of
the ball retainers is synchronized as you slide the
nShield Connect into the rack. Careful positioning
also helps to protect the rails from damage
caused by misalignment.
Figure 9. Drawing the ball retainer to the front of the
rack
Note: Two competent persons are required to lift the
nShield Connect when sliding it into a rack.
After ensuring that the inner slide rails (A) have
connected properly with the outer slide rails (B), slide
the nShield Connect into the rack until the nShield
Connect is stopped by the spring safety catches,
Figure 10.
Push the spring safety catches inwards (towards the
nShield Connect) and carefully slide the nShield
Connect into the rack.
Figure 10. Sliding the nShield Connect into the rack
10.
Slide the nShield Connect into the rack fully and use
the two thumb screws on the front of the nShield
Connect to lock it into position.
When you slide the nShield Connect into the rack for
the first time, the last few inches of travel may
experience some resistance as the ball retainers meet
their backstops. Overcome this resistance by gently
applying more force to the front of the nShield
Connect to achieve full insertion into the rack.
Subsequent insertion and extraction of the nShield
Connect should be smooth as the ball retainers take
up their correct position within the rails.

instructions describe how to use the quick fit slide
rails to install an nShield Connect in a 19” rack with
rectangular cut
-outs. For other types of rack, s
, consult your rack vendor for assistance.
Stability hazard
The rack may tip over causing serious personal
injury.
Do not put any load on the slide
-rail mounted
equipment in the extended position.
Do not leave the slide rail mounted equipment in the
extended position.
Before starting the installation, ensure you read the
pre
paratory information and safety warnings in the
Warnings and Cautions.
Be careful of sharp edges when disassembling and
assembling the slide rail components.
When you install the nShield Connect, ensure that
the mechanical loading on the
rack is evenly
distributed, and that the nShield Connect is
positioned horizontally from front to back and from
left to right
.
The following table describes the slide rail components that
are referenced throughout this procedure.
You require this
tool to carry out the installation:
Cross headed screwdriver (No 2 bit)
Inner slide rail
(supplied as
part of B & C)
2 A
Outer slide rail
assembly
(left hand)
1 B
Outer slide rail
assembly
(right hand)
1 C
Cross head
screw M4x
6mm
10 D
The inner slide rail assemblies (A) and the outer slide rail
assemblies (B) & (C), when fully assembled and installed,
create a 700mm (27.5”) telescopic runner.
To install the nShield Connect in the rack using the slide
rails
:
Depress the safety catch, Figure 1, on each of the
runners to separate them into their component parts
(inner and outer slide rails).
