The slide hardware kit provides standard flanges to mount the slides into standard EIA relay
racks. It should be noted that the slide flanges in the front should be installed behind the rack’s
front panel mounting rails. This will allow the rack mounting ears to sit flush with the front of the
rack. It should also be noted that although the hardware provided in this kit will provide all the
necessary components to install the CT-310A into the rack successfully, there are many variations
in how EIA relay racks are designed. The application may need additional adapter hardware to
install the chassis. Please refer to relay rack manufacture’s catalog for additional options.
This procedure provides instructions for installing the 20" or 24" slide kits. Note that the 20" and
24" slide kits are identical except for the length of the slide units. A 20" slide kit is used when the
chassis is flush mounted while the 24" slide kit is used when the chassis is recess mounted.
Required Tools

Assembly Procedures
1. Lay the chassis on a protected work surface on its long side with the voltage monitor LEDs of
the chassis facing front with the power switch toward the top.
2. If the rack mount ears are installed flushed, remove the rack mount ears and install the front
slide bracket to them as shown in the assembly drawing (see Figure 2-3) using a flat head
screwdriver, then reinstall the rack mount ears in the flushed position. If the rack mount ears
were originally installed recessed, simply install the slide brackets onto the ears.
3.
Locate two threaded holes on each side of the chassis toward the end where the power supply
module is located. Install the rear slide brackets using the provided hardware.
4.
Locate the slide hardware kit provided. Install the rack flanges to the slides as required by the
application using the hardware in the kit. Note that the screws are inserted from the inside of
the slides and the nuts would show on the outside.
5.
Install the slides to the mounting brackets already installed on the chassis using the provided
hardware.
