Front-Mounting a Tapped Hole Rack Installation

To install the stationary slide rails on the front of a tapped hole equipment rack:

  1. Locate the following components:
    • 2 x stationary slide rail sections

    • 4 x 10-32 x 5/8” screws

    • 2 x mounting spacers

  2. Line up the stationary slide rail end with three mounting slots with an appropriate mount point on the front of the equipment rack.
    This diagram shows the stationary slide rail lined up with the front mount point.

  3. Place 2 x 10-32 screws through the mounting spacer and through the stationary slide rail ear.
  4. Screw in and secure the stationary slide rail to the equipment rack as shown in the following exploded view. Do not completely torque the screws; leave a small amount of play at this point.
    This diagram shows the proper way to screw in and secure the stationary slide rail.
