Installing the Appliance in a Rack

Step 2

Open the front securing plate on both slide-rail assemblies. The front end of the slide-rail assembly has a spring-loaded

securing plate that must be open before you can insert the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes.

On the outside of the assembly, push the green-arrow button toward the rear to open the securing plate.

Step 3

Install the outer slide rails into the rack:

a) Align one slide-rail assembly front end with the front rack-post holes that you want to use.

The slide rail front-end wraps around the outside of the rack post and the mounting pegs enter the rack-post holes

from the outside-front.

Note

b) Push the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes from the outside-front.

c) Press the securing plate release button, marked Push. The spring-loaded securing plate closes to lock the pegs in

place.

d) Adjust the slide-rail length, and then push the rear mounting pegs into the corresponding rear rack-post holes.

The rear mounting pegs enter the rear rack-post holes from the inside of the rack post.

e) Attach the second slide-rail assembly to the opposite side of the rack. Ensure that the two slide-rail assemblies are at

the same height and are level front-to-back.

f) Pull the inner slide rails on each assembly out toward the rack front until they hit the internal stops and lock in place.

Step 4

Insert the appliance into the slide rails:
