Installing the Spring-Load Rack Rail Assembly in
the Rack
The spring-load rack rail assembly consists of a fixed outer rail and a sliding
inner rail. The two rails are shipped as an assembly and do not require
additional preparation.
To install the spring-load rack rail assembly in the rack:
1. From the front of the rack, identify the rack holes on the outside of the
front of the rack that you marked with the template.
NOTE: Use either spring-load rail on either side of the rack. Ensure that the inner rail in
the assembly slides toward the front of the rack.
2. Insert the rail tabs from the spring-loaded end of the assembly into the
marked holes on the interior of the vertical rails on the front of the
rack
.
IMPORTANT: The smooth side of the spring-load rail assembly must face the outside of
the rack.
3. Grasp the spring-load rail assembly and squeeze the two spring release
tabs in toward the rail to unlock the spring mechanism
.
4. Grasp the far end of the spring-load assembly with your other hand and
pull the rail in toward you until the rack tabs on the fixed end of the
assembly clear the interior side of the rear vertical rack rail
.
