Optional Sliding Rail Kit Instructions

Attach Inner Rails to Unit

1.

Select a 

rail assembly 

and slide the inner rail out until it 

stops.

2.

Slide the inner rail 

release latch

 forward and remove the 

inner rail.

3.

To retract the 

middle rail

, release the lock (1) and slide it 

back into (2) the outer rail.

4.

Repeat 

Steps 1–3

 for the 

other rail assembly

.

5.

Align the 

inner rail

 against the side of the server with 

the correct side up.

6.

Using the supplied 

screws

, secure the rail.

7.

Repeat

 for the 

left rail

.

Optional Steps for Thicker Rack Rails

For rack rails 

thicker than 3mm

, the sliding rail anchors 

cannot be seated without exerting excessive force and 
potentially damaging the sliding rail kit.The brackets need to 
be removed from each end of the slide rails to make the anchors 
seat securely.
For standard rack rail sizes 3mm or less, skip this procedure 
and proceed to 

“Attach Outer Rails to Square-holed Rack.”

1.

Locate the 

bracket 

on the end of a slide rail.

2.

Remove the

 screw

 securing the bracket to the rail.

3.

Push the 

bracket 

toward the end of the rail, prying the 

back of the 

bracket 

upward to unseat and remove it. 

4.

Repeat 

Steps 1–3

 for each 

end

 of both 

rails

.

Attach Outer Rails to Square-holed Rack

NOTE: When replacing the fixed rails in a previously installed unit, 
the new rails should be attached to the same front vertical rack 
holes that the fixed bracket used.

1.

Position the front of one of the 

rails

 in line with the front 

vertical rail mounting holes (1) and move it forward until 
the 

rail anchors 

are through the holes.

2.

Push the rail toward the 

outside of the rack

 (2) until the 

rail locks snap into place.

3.

At the 

rear

 (3), slide the outer rail in or out to fit between 

the vertical rails (a) and repeat 

Steps 1–2

 to secure it (b).

NOTE: Make sure the rear holes are the same height as the 
front holes so the rail is level.

4.

For the other

 rail

, repeat 

Steps 1–3

.
