Use two 10-32 x 0.5-inch Phillips-head screws and two #10 flat metal washers to

secure the cable-management arm to the back vertical rail as shown in Figure 10.

(This is the rail on the right as you face the back of the rack.) Make sure that the

cable-management arm is straight in relation to the computer´that is, parallel to

the ground.

After connecting the cables to the computer, route the cables along the cable-

management arm, and secure the cables to the cable-management arm with the

Velcro strips attached to the cable-management arm.

Make sure that the cables are not pinched in the cable-management arm joints.

NOTES: You will feel resistance as the rails thread themselves into the ball-bear-

ing cages in the slide assemblies´this resistance is normal. Continue to push

the computer inward until it slides completely into the rack and is fully seated.

(You may have to pull the computer partially out and push it back into the rack to

fully thread the ball-bearing cages.) When fully engaged, the back of the

four cap-

tive thumbscrews should mate with the cage nuts on the rack³s front vertical

rails.

As you pull the computer out to its furthest extension, the slide assemblies will

lock in the extended position. To push the computer back into the rack, press the

green buttons near the front of both interior slides (see Figure 10) and simulta-

neously push in on the computer.
