• The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

• Adjustable wrench or box wrenches.

PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: For the fastest and

easiest installation of the Glider, follow these steps in the sequence they are presented.

Doc# 27-0017UM Issued 08/03 Rev 1.0

INSTALLATION

SLIDE REMOVAL

With the Glider laid on a workbench, press down to release the Z-Locks on each side of the front of the Glider to slide the side rails back.

The slide rails will reach a stop about half way back.

This is a safety stop to prevent the Glider from sliding out too far while mounted in the rack.

Simultaneously press in the safety catches on each slide rail and slide the side rails all the way off the back of the Glider .

The slides should now be separated from the Glider.

Doc# 27-0017UM Issued 08/03 Rev 1.0

INSTALLATION

INSTALL THE SLIDES IN CABINET FRAME

Each slide unit includes the slide rail, the front ZLock mount and the rear mount.

The top notch of the ZLock must align with the slide rail top ridge.

On the rear of the cabinet frame, use three Phillips screws to loosely secure the right and left rear slide mounts to the cabinet frame.

DO NOT tighten these screws fully.

As seen from this reverse view , align the slider into the Z-Lock bracket grooves so all three screw holes show.

On each slide rail, use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two adjustment screws toward the back of the slide rail.

An adjustable wrench or box wrench may be used to hold the nut on the other side of the slide rail.

On the front of the cabinet frame, use three Phillips screws and washers per side to secure the right and left Z-Lock mounts holding the sliders.

DO NOT tighten these screws to allow for adjustment of the Glider within the cabinet frame.

At the back of the cabinest frame, tighten the slide mounts to the cabinet frame.

Make sure to hold the slide mounts hard against the rack rail.

Doc# 27-0017UM Issued 08/03 Rev 1.0

INSTALLATION

INSTALL THE GLIDER IN CABINET FRAME

The Glider slides should move in and out easily . If not, check alignment of the slider and Z-Lock mount.

Pull the two Glider slides out until they lock.

Simultaneously press in the catches on each slider and move the Glider all the way into the cabinet frame.

Feed the cables from the Glider back through the cabinet frame.

Guide the Glider into the slides and slide the Glider in until it stops.

Hold the Glider on each side over the back set of rollers, with the front into your stomach. The Glider MUST be level. This step may best be done with two people, one on each side of the slide rails.

If the Glider binds during insertion, the Glider rollers are not properly aligned into the slider recepticle.

If aligned properly , the rollers on the Glider slide smoothly into and out of the slider rails.

Doc# 27-0017UM Issued 08/03 Rev 1.0

INSTALLATION

INSTALLA TION TEST

The Glider should easily close completely.

Slide the Glider in and out several times. The Glider should slide in and out easily .

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS

Slide the Glider partially out.

Use a flathead screwdriver to slightly move the Z-Locks in toward or out from the Glider , depnding on the need for best fit. While holding the Z-Locks at the proper setting, tighten the screws on the ZLock mounts.

The Glider should slide in and out easily . If not, adjust the position of the two Z-Locks again.

Because of variances in cabinet frames, there may need to be some adjustments of the Glider slide system for best fit and movement of the Glider in and out.

If the Glider binds when rolling in and out, perform the following procedures.

Go to the rear of the cabinet to tighten the slider extender rail scews. If there is not enough room to work at the back of the cabinet, the Glider may need to be removed to tighten the rail screws.

The Glider should now slide in and out smoothly . If not, repeat these steps.
