14 Rack Information
14.1 Overview
The ReadyRails™ sliding and static rail systems for the R610 provide tool-less support for racks with
square or unthreaded round mounting holes including all generations of Dell racks. The static rails
also offer tooled mounting support for 4-post threaded and 2-post (Telco) racks for added versatility.
The optional cable management arm (CMA) can be mounted on either the left or right side of the
sliding rails without the use of tools for fast and easy deployment.
The R610 is not compatible with any other Dell rails including previous generation rails, but it does
use the same static rails as the R710.
The CMA is not supported on racks that are less than 1 m in depth, including Dell’s 4200 and 2400
racks.
14.2 Rails
The rail offerings for the R610 consist of two types: sliding and static.
The sliding rails allow the system to be fully extended out of the rack for service and are available
with or without the optional cable management arm (CMA).
Figure 9. R610 Sliding Rails with Optional CMA
The static rails support a wider variety of racks than the sliding rails but do not support serviceability
in the rack and are thus not compatible with the CMA.
