Rack Support

Your system supports the Generic Tool-less stab-in sliding rail. The Generic Tool-less stab-in sliding rail supports tool-less installation in 19" EIA-310-E compliant square hole and unthreaded round hole 4-post racks. It allows for the partial extension of the system out of the rack, enabling serviceability of key internal components.
