Electronic Chassis, Slide Rails

Slide Rail Description

Equipment slide rails come in two sections. One section of the rail attaches to a chassis, while the other section attaches to the equipment rack. The two sections slide into each other to form a slide rail. One slide rail per chassis side. Slide rails allow an equipment chassis to be extended out the front or rear of a rack.

There are two main styles of chassis slide rails; Side mount which mounts the chassis to the rack, and bottom mount which mounts the chassis to a shelf located beneath the chassis. Slide mount rails are more common that bottom mounted rails.
