3 Rail kit components
The Rail Kit components include:
• One Rail Kit - Two Rack Member Assemblies with
Chassis Member Rails and pre-installed Front Short
Bracket
• Two Rear Long Brackets
• 12 (#8-32) Chassis/Rail Screws
• 8 (#10-32) Rack/Rail Thumb Screws
4 MaxCore rackmount slides
installation
Note: Equipment racks with tapped holes will not work for this
installation. The rack must have square or round holes that will allow
the rail brackets to be mounted behind the rack rails for the screws
to go through the opening and thread into the pressed-in nuts
mounted into the rail mounting brackets.
1. Slide out the Chassis Member Rail and release it from the
Rack Member Assembly.
2. Align the locking bracket to collapse Rack Member Assembly
and then press upwards or downwards to release and pull out
Chassis Member Rail.
3. Attach Chassis Member Rail to both sides of the MaxCore
system using the chassis/rail screws included in the kit.
4. Install Rear Long Brackets to both sides of the rack using the
rack/rail thumb screws included in the kit.
5. Install Rack Member Assembly (with Short Bracket pre-installed)
on both sides to front side of the rack using rack/rail thumb
screws included in the kit. Do not tighten the screws at this point
of time.
6. Press the rail into the rear bracket firmly and install the chassis/
rail screws on both sides.
7. On the front side of the rack, extend the slides to fully locked
position and bring ball retainer on both the sides. After that, align
rail with the black plastic lead-in pins.
8. Lift the MaxCore system with the Chassis Member Rails installed
and align both sides of the rails into the black plastic lead-in
bracket from both sides and push the chassis back until it locks.
Note: A two-person effort is required for this operation due to
weight and alignment needs.
9. Slide MaxCore system into the rails until it locks. Lift the lever on
the left hand side upwards and the lever on the right hand side
downwards to unlock and then slide the chassis back into the
rack position.
10. Check slide alignment by sliding chassis constantly backward
and forward.
Note: Any sign of binding indicates lateral stress or
misalignment. Adjust slide position until movement is smooth.
11. Loosen screws from both front and rear sides until the system
slides without binding.
12. Secure MaxCore system to the rack using customer provide
hardware on both sides and also secure rails by tightening the
pre-installed screws on both sides (on both front and rear sides).
