Engaging and Releasing the Slam Latch

Note: For systems not equipped with slam latches, secure the system by using screws, as described in Installing and Removing Tooled Rails.

Procedure

  1. Facing the front, locate the slam latch on either side of the system.
  2. The latches engage automatically as the system is pushed into the rack and are released by pulling up on the latches.
  3. To secure the system for shipment in the rack or for other unstable environments, locate the hard-mount screw under each latch and tighten each screw with a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
