Installing the Slides into the Cabinet

To install the slides into the cabinet, perform the following steps:

1.  Before installing the slides into the cabinet, select the cabinet location for your server system. The server

needs 10.5 inches of rack space.  Mark the bottom of the 10.5-inch space with a pencil mark.

2.  Locate the first hole above the 1/2 inch RETMA space (hole 1), and count up to holes 2 and 3 on the front and

on the rear of the cabinet.

3.  Skip hole 1 and place the slides behind the cabinet rail in holes 2 and 3, front and rear.

4.  Place the eight screws (34) and washers (35) in the holes and fasten to the four nut bars (10), and tighten.

5.  Place the two kep nuts, #10-32, (14) over hole 5 on the front cabinet rails. Add the two ball studs (13) and

tighten with a wrench.
