Static Rails
ReadyRails Static Rails for 4-post and 2-post Racks:
● The ReadyRails static rails also supports tool-less installation to 4-post racks with square or unthreaded round mounting
holes including all generations of Dell racks.
● The static rails support tooled mounting in 2-post (Telco) racks as well for added versatility.
NOTE: The R450 is compatible with the R440, R6515, and R6415 rails and CMA.
Cable Management Arm
The optional Cable Management Arm (CMA) for the system organizes and secures the cords and cables exiting the back of the
server and unfolds to allow the server to extend out of the rack without having to detach the cables.
Some key features of the CMA include:
● Large U-shaped baskets to support dense cable loads.
● Open vent pattern for optimal airflow.
● Support for mounting on either side by swinging the spring-loaded brackets from one side to the other.
● Utilizes hook-and-loop straps rather than plastic tie wraps to eliminate the risk of cable damage during cycling.
● Includes a low-profile fixed tray to both support and retain the CMA in its fully closed position.
● Both the CMA and the tray mount without the use of tools through simple and intuitive snap-in designs.
The CMA can be mounted to either side of the sliding rails without the use of tools or the need for conversion. For systems
with one power supply unit (PSU), it is recommended to mount on the side opposite to that of the power supply to allow easier
access to it and the rear drives (if applicable) for service or replacement.
Strain Relief Bar
The optional Strain Relief Bar (SRB) for the system organizes and secures cables exiting the back of the server.
Sliding rails with optional SRB:
● Supports tool-less attachment to rails
● Supports Two depth positions to accommodate various cable loads and rack depths
● Supports cable loads and controls stresses on server connectors
● Cables can be segregated into discrete, purpose-specific bundles
