Unpacking and installing the rack kit hardware
1. Unpack the rack kit hardware.
2. On each rail (1 and 2 in Figure 1 ), loosen the four screws on the adjustable brackets and adjust the rails to the
depth of your rack. Tighten the screws after adjustment.
3. Noting that the rails are designated “Left” and “Right,” install each rail in the rack using four 10-32 x .63 screws,
two screws on each end of each rail. Refer to Figure 2 .
• Position the rails so that the adjustable ends are mounted on the intake aisle side of the rack.
• For rails with round holes - use two 10-32 x .63 screws with square-cone washers on each end of the rail
assembly. Tighten the screws to a torque of 29.2 to 36.5 in-lb (33.6 to 42 cm-kg).
• For rails with square holes - use the two standard 10-32 x .63 screws with blue Loctite on the threads and
alignment washers on each end of the rail assembly. Tighten the screws to a torque of 29.2 to 36.5 in-lb
(33.6 to 42 cm-kg).
