Figure 2-4. Assembling the Outer Rails
Assembling and Installing the Outer Rails
Each outer rail comes in three sections that require assembly before mounting onto the rack.
1.
Find the outer rail mounting brackets in the chassis accessory box.
•
A pair of long brackets for the rear of each rail
•
A pair of short brackets for the front of each rail
Note that the brackets are labeled as to front, rear, and up. They are specific for the left
and right rails.
2.
Secure the front (short) bracket onto the outer rail with M5 screws.
3.
Mount the rear (long) bracket onto the outer rail at the approximate position to fit your rack.
Use two or three M5 screws into holes that are convenient. Leave the screws just loose
enough that the bracket can slide.
4.
Install the outer rail assembly onto your rack. Adjust the outer rail to the exact depth of the
rack by sliding the rear bracket. Then use screws and fasteners to secure the outer rail to
the front and rear rack posts.
5.
Further tighten the screws holding the rear bracket to the rail.
