Installing the Slides

The following steps and illustrations describe how to install slides for mounting a
NetServer.

Marking the Columns

Hole position for rack nuts and bar nuts need to be determined. Mark the
mounting location of the NetServer and mounting holes on each column of the
rack. Mark the mounting holes on each column of the rack as described below.
NOTE
The EIA unit marks are stamped in the sheet metal of the
columns. Use the rack template to mark the correct holes for
mounting (on all four columns).
Marking Front Columns
Mark the slide mounting holes on the front columns.
1. Mark the base line (bottom) of the NetServer at an EIA unit mark on the
column.
2. Hold the bottom of the rack template at the base line. Mark the top of
NetServer (8 EIA units counted up from the base line).
3. Mark the slide screw mounting holes (holes 20 and 22 counted up from
the base line).
4. Mark the second front column by repeating steps 1 through 3.
Marking Rear Columns
Mark the slide mounting holes on the inside faces of the rear columns.
1. Mark the base line (bottom) of the NetServer at an EIA unit mark on the
column.
2. Hold the bottom of the rack template at the base line. Mark the top of
NetServer (8 EIA units counted up from the base line).
