Rack, rails, and cable management
Key factors in selecting the proper rails include, Identifying:
● Type of rack in which the rails will be installed
●
Spacing between the front and rear mounting flanges of the rack
● Type and location of any equipment mounted on the rear of the rack such as power distribution units (PDUs), and the overall
depth of the rack
Refer the DellEMC Enterprise Systems Rail Sizing and Rack Compatibility Matrix for the following information:
● Specific details about rail types and their functionalities
● Rail adjustability ranges for various rack mounting flange types
● Rail depth with and without cable management accessories
● Rack types supported for various rack mounting flange types

• Rack Rails
Rack Rails
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.

One key factor in selecting the proper rails is identifying the type of rack in which they will be installed. Both the sliding rails and
the static rails support tool-less mounting in 19-inch wide, EIA-310-E compliant square hole and unthreaded round hole four-post
