Remove the chassis from its cardboard container and save all packaging material.

Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative. Verify that you have all items.

Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative. Have the following information ready:

Attach the inner rails to the sides of the chassis:

1. Align an inner rail with one side of the chassis so that the three keyed slots in the rail align with the three pegs on the side of the chassis.

2. Set the keyed slots over the pegs, and then slide the rail toward the front to lock it in place on the pegs. The front slot has a metal clip that locks over the front peg.

3. Install the second inner rail to the opposite side of the chassis.

Open the front securing plate on both slide-rail assemblies. The front end of the slide-rail assembly has a spring-loaded securing plate that must be open before you can insert the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes.

On the outside of the assembly, push the green arrow button toward the rear to open the securing plate.

Install the slide rails into the rack:

1. Align one slide-rail assembly front end with the front rack-post holes that you want to use.

   The slide rail front end wraps around the outside of the rack post and the mounting pegs enter the rack-post holes from the outside-front.

   Note	The rack post must be between the mounting pegs and the open securing plate.

2. Push the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes from the outside-front.

3. Press the securing plate release button, labeled PUSH. The spring-loaded securing plate closes to lock the pegs in place.

4. Attach the second slide-rail assembly to the opposite side of the rack. Make sure that the two slide-rail assemblies are at the same height with each other and are level front-to-back.

5. Pull the inner slide rails on each assembly out toward the rack front until they hit the internal stops and lock in place.

Insert the chassis into the slide rails:

1. Align the rear of the inner rails that are attached to the chassis sides with the front ends of the empty slide rails on the rack.

2. Push the inner rails into the slide rails on the rack until they stop at the internal stops.

3. Slide the release clip toward the rear on both inner rails, and then continue pushing the chassis into the rack until its front slam latches engage with the rack posts

(Optional) Secure the chassis in the rack more permanently by using the two screws that are provided with the slide rails. Perform this step if you plan to move the rack with chassis installed. With the chassis fully pushed into the slide rails, open a hinged slam latch lever on the front of the chassis and insert the screw through the hole that is under the lever. The screw threads into the static part of the rail on the rack post and prevents the chassis from being pulled out. Repeat for the opposite slam latch.
