A slide assembly has a first portion which is mounted to a chassis and a second portion which is mounted to vertical support members of a rack assembly for supporting the chassis. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the slide assembly includes a pair of slide members, each of which has a movable track member, a flange, a clamp, a latch, and a spring-loaded releasable lock actuator. The flange includes a bracket which is used to mount the slide member to the rack assembly without the use of tools or fasteners. The track member is coupled to the flange and slidably moves on the flange between an inner locked operational position and an outer extended position relative to the rack assembly. The clamp and latch are both spring-loaded to engage each other and to prevent movement of the chassis when pushed into the operational position. Electrical mating connectors disposed on the electrical components supported by the chassis and disposed at the rear portion of the rack assembly are coupled together when the chassis is pushed into the rack assembly and comes to be locked in the operational position. In an alternative embodiment, multiple latches are provided to enable the slide assembly to be locked in three positions, namely inner, intermediate and outer positions. A spring-loaded lock actuator is used in both embodiments to disengage the clamp from the locked positions.
