    4 10-32 screws (5/8” to 7/8” long). Determining Which Rail Kit to Use The ARX-2500 platform comes with two types of rack mounting kits: a stationary rack-mounting type and a slide-rail-mounting type. An advantage of installing the slide-rail-mounting type is that you can then slide the component in and out of the rack as needed.
