Install the rails to the rack

See this section to learn how to install the rails to the rack.

Procedure

1. Grab the rear end of one rail and compress it to the minimal length.

2. Align the posts, that are extending from the rear end of the rail, to the holes in the rear EIA flanges; then, push the rail until the latch clicks into place around the edge of the EIA flange.

   1. Pull the rail towards the front.
   2. Press and hold the blue button to open the front latch.
   3. Align the pins on the front end of the rail to the holes in the front EIA flange and pull the rail forward; then, release the blue button so the latch catches over the EIA flange.
   Note

   To make sure the rails are secured to square hole racks, examine the pins to see if the collars are fully in the mounting flange holes. If not, gently shake the rails until all the collars are visible in the mounting flange holes. Examine both ends to make sure the rails are secured.
