2.4.1 Installing Equipment Slides
Remove the following material from the slide carton:
• One pair of slides (one right-hand slide and one left-hand slide)
• Four mounting brackets (two brackets stamped with CR and two
brackets stamped with CL)
• Package containing the mounting hardware
To install the equipment slides in the enclosure:
1. Extend the right-hand slide to gain access to the slide lock. Lift up
on the slide lock (located on the inside of right-hand slide assembly)
and remove the inner slide race (see Figure 2–2) and set it aside.
2. Extend the slide assembly.
3. Mount a CR bracket to the outside of the right-hand chassis slide
and position the CR bracket so that it is flush with the front end of
the chassis slide.
4. Align the screw hole in the CR bracket over the first single forward
screw hole in the forward end of the equipment slide (see Figure 2–2).
5. Secure the CR bracket to the front end of the right chassis slide using
an 8-32 x 5/16-inch screw, flat washer, split ring lock washer and
nut. Insert the screw from the inside of the slide. Use a nut driver
to tighten the nut on the outside of the CR bracket (see Figure 2–2).
6. Install an 8-32 x 5/16-inch screw, flat washer, split ring lock washer
and nut in the center slot in the CR bracket. Insert the screw from
