2. Align the rails as follows:
– Make sure the left and right rails are oriented correctly. The rails are stamped L FRONT and R
FRONT, respectively. Make sure they are not upside down.
– The front and rear upper mounting hook aligns with the top hole in any 1U section of the rack.
– The front lower mounting hook aligns with the bottom hole in any 1U section of the rack.
– The rear lower mounting hole aligns with the top hole in the next lower 1U section of the rack.
3. Attach the front hooks of the rails to the inside front of the rack.
4. Slide the end of the rail out until it meets the inside rear of the rack. Secure the rear hook to the inside rear
of the rack.
5. Optionally, secure the rear rail mount with a #10-32 screw (not included).
6. Check both ends of the rails to make sure they are fully seated in the same rack hole positions and that the
rails are level.
