The rail offerings for the PowerEdge R350 consist of two types sliding and static. The sliding and static rail systems for
the PowerEdge R350 provide tool-less support for four-post racks with tooled installation for square, round or threaded holes
including all generations of Dell racks. Both also support tooled mounting in four-post threaded racks, and the static rails support
tooled mounting in two-post (Telco) racks as well for added versatility.
The sliding rails for the PowerEdge R350 offer native support for threaded hole racks via the ReadyRails
II mounting interface.
The rails ship in the tool-less mounting configuration, but can be converted to the tooled configuration very quickly and easily as
shown in the figure below.
