Attaching the Slide Rails
to the Mounting Brackets
The slide rails and mounting brackets form assemblies that attach to the rack.
To attach the slide rails to the mounting bracket:
1. Locate the slide rails and the mounting brackets.
2. Position and insert a slide rail inside a mounting bracket, making sure
that the front of the slide rail is at the front of the mounting bracket. To
identify the front of the slide rail and mounting bracket:
a. The front of the slide rail allows the inner slide to move forward.
b. The front of the mounting bracket has screw threads on its flange.
