Expanding the Rails
The rail is a two-piece mechanism. The rail length is adjusted by sliding the rail-rod inside the rail-slide.
The rail clip prevent extension of the rail beyond the maximum supported distance between front and
rear rack posts. When the rail is contracted, the rail clip is closest to the slide end.
The rail is initially contracted and must be expanded to attach onto the rack. This procedure expands
the rails from their contracted state:
Step 1
Grip the slide end with your left hand and the rod end with your right hand (
Figure 3-11-left
).
Step 2
Pull the ends apart until the rail-clip makes an audible click (
Figure 3-11-right
).

3.2.4
Assembling the Rails onto the Equipment Rack
A rail connects a front post to a rear post. Each end has two rack plugs (
Figure 3-11-Right, Inset A
).
Rails are installed into a rack by inserting the plugs into rack slots. To install rails into posts with
threaded or rounded holes, remove all plugs on both sides of the rails, then install the rails with bolts
that fit the rack. This procedure attaches the rails to a four-post rack:
Step 1
Attach rail to the right rear rack post by inserting rod-end rack plugs into post slots
(
Figure 3-12-Right, Inset A
). The slide assembly must be inside the right posts, relative to the
left rack posts.
If the rack plugs were previously removed, use bolts to attach the rail to the rack.
