2. Install the cage nuts and nut plates. Install the curved nut plates on the vertical rails where you want the ends of the slide assemblies to be located (see Figure 11-5). Each curved nut plate is held in place by one 10-32 x 0.5-inch Phillips-head screw and one 10-32 cage nut. The following substeps explain how to install the cage nuts and the nut plates: a. Insert the lower lip of the cage nut over the bottom of the opening in the back of a rail as shown in step 1 in Figure 11-5. 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 it back toward you until the top lip of the cage nut snaps into position (see step 1 in Figure 11-5). c. Repeat substeps a and b 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 11-5. Then secure the nut plate in place with a 10-32 x 0.5-inch Phillips-head screw (see step 3 in Figure 11-5). e. Repeat substeps a through d to install the remaining nut plates. Rack Installation 11-7

2.
Install the cage nuts and nut plates.
Install the curved nut plates on the vertical rails where you want the ends of the
slide assemblies to be located (see Figure 11-5). Each curved nut plate is held in
place by one 10-32 x 0.5-inch Phillips-head screw and one 10-32 cage nut.
The following substeps explain how to install the cage nuts and the nut plates:
a.
Insert the lower lip of the cage nut over the bottom of the opening in the
back of a rail as shown in step 1 in Figure 11-5. 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 it back toward
you until the top lip of the cage nut snaps into position (see step 1 in
Figure 11-5).
c.
Repeat substeps a and b 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 11-5. Then
secure the nut plate in place with a 10-32 x 0.5-inch Phillips-head screw (see
step 3 in Figure 11-5).
e.
Repeat substeps a through d to install the remaining nut plates.
