Install the curved nut plates on the vertical rails where you want the ends of the

slide assemblies to be located (see Figure 5). Each curved nut plate is held in

place by one Phillips-head screw and one cage nut.

The following substeps explain how to install the cage nuts and the nut plates:

a.

Insert the lower lip of the 10-32 cage nut over the bottom of the opening in

the back of a rail as shown in step 1 in Figure 5. Then insert the small end of

the cage-nut installation tool through the opening in the rail (from the front),

and hook the tool over the top lip of the cage nut.

b.

Push in on the cage nut while rotating the tool up and pulling the tool back

toward you until the top lip of the cage nut snaps into position

(see step 1 in

Figure 5).

c.

Repeat this process to install the remaining cage nuts.

d.

To install one of the curved nut plates, insert it through the hole below the

cage nut (from the back of the rail) as shown in step 2 in Figure 5. Then

secure the nut plate in place with a 10-32 x 0.5-inch Phillips-head screw (see

step 3 in Figure 5).

e.

Repeat substeps a through d to install the remaining nut plates.
