TMLPMOUNT41, TMLPMOUNT51 and TMLPMOUNT52
TMLPMOUNT41/51/52 series mounts Intel® Communication Rack Mount Servers
to 2-post or 4-post racks.
TMLPMOUNT41 and TMLPMOUNT51 are used for mounting servers on 19” wide
racks. These racks are considered standard EIA (universal hole spacing) racks.
TMLPMOUNT52 is used for mounting servers on 23” wide racks. These racks could
be standard EIA (universal or wide hole spacing) or ETSI (European) racks.
TMLPMOUNT41/51/52 series are designed with a slide-in rail-type system.
Although the mounts are designed as rails, they are not sliding rails. This means
the servers can be slid into the racks for installation purpose, but the rails are
not designed to support a mounted server during service.

Notes:
1. Extra care must be exercised with TMLPMOUNT41 to securely hold the
server with one's hands when sliding it out of the rack, else the server may
fall to the ground as its being removed.
2. Plastic strips on TMLPMOUNT41 have peeled off in some customer
installations. Consequence: The parts are usable, but the server may have
somewhat of a "scrape-in feel" rather than "slide in". Also, the rails will fit
sloppier, so the side-located chassis securing screws may be difficult to
align in 2-post installations. Replacement material is available from the
plastic strip manufacturer.
3. Xylan is a tough, low-friction coating similar to Teflon.
