Page 97 Installing racks, rack features, and systems or expansion units Using the eight rail-to-system-unit retaining screws A in Figure 1, four on each side, mount the inner rails B to each side of the system drawer. Tighten each of the screws with a screwdriver or similar tool.
Page 98: Installing The Cable-Management Arm
Installing racks, rack features, and systems or expansion units Note: After the system rails are installed, do not extend them past their safety latches. The safety release latches stop the rails from overextending and separating. This action prevents the system drawer from being accidentally pulled out too far and dropped.

Installing racks, rack features, and systems or expansion units Use pin H to pin the cable-management arm G to the rack frame F as shown in Figure Figure 2. Attaching the cable-management arm. Note: If access to the back of the rack is obscured by a large number of existing cables, it might be easier to remove the small connecting hinge from the cable-management arm and attach it first.
Page 100 Installing racks, rack features, and systems or expansion units Note: To complete this procedure, it is easier if two people to attach the rail assembly to the rack with one person in front of the rack and one person at the back of the rack. Three people are needed to safely lift the system unit onto the rails in the rack.
