====== Rack mounting ======

The Antares version of the RECS<sup>(r)</sup>%%|%%Box comes with premountet rack-rails. These can be used to install the Antares into any 19" rack.\\

The following chapter is copied from the [[http://www.accuride.com/Resources/PDF/2907-R6-0912.pdf|original user manual of the rails]]:

  - Slide chassis member (smallest) is removable. Separate slide members by lifting left hand side lever up, and right hand side lever down. Keep slide chassis members with original outer members.
  - Slide has front and rear adjustable EIA brackets. Attach front brackets to outer slide member using #8-32 machine screws by aligning access slots on brackets to outer member holes. Front brackets can be mounted flush or 1/2" [12.7 mm] back from front of slide based on user needs.
  - Establish distance from front cabinet rail to rear cabinet rail and attach rear brackets to slide. **Do not** fully tighten rear bracket mounting screws until final adjustment is made.
  - Insert removable locator pin into center hole of brackets.
  - Slide will mount to various cabinet rails at various locations on side of chassis. See illustrations at right.
  - Place slide into desired position and fully extend against EIA rails. Locator pins will support slide and bar nut while attaching screws.
  - Attach slide to EIA rail with #10-32 screws and fasten with bar nuts. Once screws are secure, remove locator pins. Do not fully tighten screws until final adjustment is made.
  - Mount slide chassis members (smallest) to the chassis.
  - With cabinet members in the open or closed position, bring ball retainer to full forward position. Install chassis by engaging the slide members and close completely. **Locks will engage on initial insertion and must be released to fully close.** Check slide alignment by opening and closing the chassis. Any sign of binding indicates lateral stress or misalignment.
  - Adjust slide position until movement is smooth. Tighten all screws and complete installation.

**NOTE:**
To remove chassis, lift the lever on the left hand slide up and the lever on the right hand slide down.
