d. Continuously maintain pressure on the ball bearing retainer as you slide the mid rail onto the inner rail,
beginning with the top of the inner rail, then the bottom of the inner rail for the right side.
e. Continue maintaining pressure on ball bearing retainer while feeding the remainder of the mid rail onto the
storage enclosure inner rail until it reaches the maximum extension of the right rail.
f. Repeat for the left side.
g. Verify full engagement, top and bottom, of the inner rails with the top and bottom ball bearing retainers.
h. Verify the mid rails slide freely and smoothly on the inner rails. If they do not, this indicates misalignment and
requires correction.
i. Slide both mid rails until they are fully extended in the service position and engage the safety lock.
6. Complete the following actions to begin insertion of the storage enclosure into the rack cabinet:
a. Facing the front of the enclosure, carefully exert even pressure on both sides of the storage enclosure front,
inserting the storage enclosure until it locks into the service position with an audible click.
b. Carefully lower the mechanical lift just enough so that the weight of the storage enclosure fully rests on the rails.
c. Thoroughly examine the rack rails for issues such as bowing, scraping, resistance, or indicators of misalignment.
d. Locate and depress both safety lock latches to release the rails.

e. Continue depressing the safety lock latch springs while inserting the storage enclosure into the rack just far
enough to bypass the service position locks.
f. Carefully exert even pressure on both sides of the storage enclosure front.
g. Continue insertion all the way into the rack until the rack mounting flange is flush with the rack ears, locking the
storage enclosure into the storage position. Do not force insertion, because this action could damage the rails.
7. Complete the following actions to confirm the proper installation of the storage enclosure into the rack cabinet:
a. Gently pull the storage enclosure outward to make sure the storage enclosure slides smoothly on its rails out to
service position and returns smoothly to the storage position.
b. Feel for the smooth, even function of the ball bearings in the ball bearing retainer. Any grinding indicates
misalignment and requires correction, up to obtaining a new rail kit if you identify damaged bearings.
8. Secure the storage enclosure flanges to the rack, fastening the top captive thumbscrew on each side until tight.
