Installing the Stiffening Bracket (shown in 3-inch rack position)

Flush-Mount Installation

The two-post rack kit is shipped configured for center-mount installation. To prepare the slide
assemblies for flush-mount installation, perform the following steps:

1

Locate the two slide assemblies and place them, side by side, on a smooth work surface, with
the front ends of the slide assemblies toward you. Position both slide assemblies so that the
center brackets are facing upward (see Figure 17).

NOTE:

To prepare the slides for flush-mount installation, remove the front mounting bracket, rotate

it 180 degrees, and reinstall it on the opposite slide assembly.

2

Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver and an 11/32-inch wrench or nut driver, remove two
12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screws, two nuts, and two shoulder washers from each
front center bracket (see Figure 17).

3

Remove the front bracket from both slide assemblies.

4

Place the bracket from one slide assembly onto the threaded studs on the opposite slide
assembly, with the bracket turned 180 degrees so that the mounting flange faces forward
(see Figure 17).
