Installing ReadyRails: Tool-less Method for a Non-Threaded-Hole Rack

To install ReadyRails using a tool-less method in a non-threaded 4-post rack:

1. Attach a Ready rail to the right and left sides of the rack at the desired height.

a. Remove the front and rear parts of the left 4-post rail (items 5 and 7 in Figure 10) from the Dell

ReadyRails kit and slide the parts together. (The front and rear parts of a rail may arrive pre-

assembled.)

b. Install a cage nut (item 2 in Figure 11) in the left front post at the desired height of the thumb

screw on the left front rail.

c. Install a cage nut in the left rear post at the same height as the cage nut in the left front post.

d. Position the left rail so that the rail end labeled FRONT faces inward.

e. Start with the rear left rail (item 3 in Figure 11); align the thumb screw with the cage nut and

holes on the left rear post. Gently press the rear rail end into the rack post and tighten the

thumb screw in the cage nut to secure the rail to the post.

f. Align the thumb screw on the front left rail with the cage nut (items 1 and 2 in Figure 11) inserted

in the front post. Press the front end of the rail forward and tighten the thumb screw so that it

locks into the cage nut.

g. Repeat Steps (a) through (f) to install the right rail.

h. To remove or reposition a rail, loosen the thumb screw on each end and unseat the rail from the

rack.
