12 Rack Information
12.1 Overview
The Dell™ RapidRails™ static rail system for the PowerEdge™ M1000e provides toolless support for
racks with square mounting holes including all generations of Dell racks except for the 4200 and 2400
series. Also available are the VersaRails™ static rails, which offer tooled mounting support for racks
with square or unthreaded round mounting holes. Both versions include a strain relief bar and cable
enumerator clips to help manage and secure the cables exiting the back of the system.
12.2 Rails
The RapidRails and VersaRails static rail kits for the M1000e are identical except for their mounting
bracket designs. The mounting brackets on the RapidRails static rails have hooks and a lock button
for supporting toolless installation in 4-post racks with square mounting holes.
Figure 36. M1000e RapidRails Static Rails
The mounting brackets on the VersaRails static rails have threaded clinch nuts rather than hooks and
a lock button in order to support tooled installation in 4-post racks with unthreaded round mounting
holes. The VersaRails static rails can also be mounted in square-hole racks if desired.
