Attaching the Slides
The following steps describe how to attach the slides to the columns.
14. Remove the removable mounting flange. A large, flat-blade screwdriver
inserted between the flange and the slide from the end of the slide may
help in removal. This mounting flange is not required when installing a
slide in an HP systems rack.
15. Remove hex nuts and lock washers securing the removable mounting
flange to the slide. Save the hex nuts and lock washers.
16. Hold the slide so the slide members extend out the front of the rack (see
Figure 13-5).
