4 Installing the Chassis in the ReadyRails
Install two cage nuts (item 2 in Figure 14) in each front post at the desired height of the two thumb screws on each ange. Lift the
chassis and slide it into the rails installed in the rack. Tighten the thumb screws in the cage nuts to secure the chassis to the rack.

Installing ReadyRails: Tooled Method for a Threaded-Hole
Rack
To install ReadyRails using a tooled method in a threaded-hole 2- or 4-post rack:
1 Locate the front rack rails in the Dell ReadyRails kit (items 5 and 6 in Figure 10).
• For a 2-post rack, take out the left and right rail brackets (items 3 and 4 in Figure 10) and slide them into the front rails.
• For a 4-post rack, take out the left and right rear rails (items 7 and 8 in Figure 10) and slide them into the front rails. (The front and
rear parts of a rail may arrive pre-assembled.)
