A slide includes a fixed portion comprising a rack-mounting ear capable of being attached to a rack and a first connecting ear and a telescoping portion slidably engaged with the fixed portion and comprising a second connecting ear capable of being joined with the first connecting ear. The telescoping portion is capable of being attached to a component enclosure. A method includes attaching a fixed portion of a slide to a rack, attaching a telescoping portion of the slide to a component enclosure, and slidably engaging the telescoping portion with the fixed portion. The method further includes moving the telescoping portion relative to the fixed portion in a first direction to retract the component enclosure into the rack and joining a connecting ear of the telescoping portion and a connecting ear of the fixed portion.
