Troubleshooting

Rails are stiff or difficult to slide

Check for obstructions on the rail path. Ensure the mounting plate is evenly distributed on both rails and that all mounting screws are secure but not overtightened, which can cause binding.

Mounting plate does not sit securely

Verify that the correct mounting plate is being used and that it is properly attached to the slide rails according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all fasteners are tightened.

Rails squeak during operation

Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant (e.g., silicone-based spray) to the sliding surfaces of the rails. Avoid over-lubrication.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable galvanized steel construction for longevity.
  • Precisely sized for 1200mm wide cabinets.
  • Ensures secure and stable mounting of plates.
  • Designed for professional, reliable equipment support.

Cons

  • Limited to Rittal VX cabinet systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Rittal 8617.402 is designed for straightforward installation within compatible Rittal VX cabinet systems. It typically involves attaching the rails to the cabinet frame and then mounting the plate to the rails. Refer to the specific installation manual for your VX cabinet for precise mounting points and screw recommendations.

Compatibility: This slide rail kit is exclusively designed for use with Rittal VX series cabinets that have a 1200mm width. It is intended for mounting plates, not for direct installation of individual rack-mount components unless they are attached to a compatible plate.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically inspect the rails for dust or debris. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanized finish. Ensure screws remain tightened to prevent rattling or instability.
