Your rack will need to be a four post unit in order to use rails. If it is a two post rack then you will need to use shelves as rails can not be physically attached. In either case if MEMX doesn't have them locally then I would say you would need to order them from some where. ________________________________ From: clug-talk [clug-talk-boun...@clug.ca] on behalf of Juan Alberto Cirez [jaci...@gmail.com] Sent: December-25-13 8:16 PM To: CLUG General Subject: Re: [clug-talk] 45U single post server rack
Shawn, Other than ease of use (by making it easier to remove the box) does the rails play any role at all in supporting the weight of the box? And if so, where can I order them locally (other than startech itself)? Thank you kindly & Happy holidays!

I got a general question which I hope you guys can help me with: I recently bought a startech single post server rack and used to mount 4x 45U servers. I noticed that the only way to mounted was with 4x screws holding the front plate. The rest of the server (all 45lbs/each of it) simply hangs freely (subject to the laws of gravity). I am concerned this is not right and that at some point the whole thing will just come down. The whole setup seems to be holding with out any bending or unevenness... But still I worry... _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca<mailto:clug-talk@clug.ca> http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca<mailto:clug-talk@clug.ca> http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
