located with the devices being configured and managed.

Racking hardware for Dell Four Post Racks

Rails
The Dell PowerEdge 1550 uses a new rail design that does not rely on the
cage nuts for mounting the racking hardware. There are two rails and they
are not interchangeable. The proper orientation of the rail can be
determined by locating the screw holes on the rails. There is one hole in
the front and one on the side. The images that follow are close-up views
of the front the rails as if you were looking at the rails from the front. The
rail shown on the left would be on your left side looking at the front and
the rail shown on the right would be on your right side looking at the front.
The screw hole at the top of the rail shows through a square cutout in the
rack and the hooked tab hooks into another square cutout just below. The
screw hole has been circled in the preceding pictures. The tab that has the
screw hole is mounted on a pivot with a tension spring. The spring is
visible in the picture on the left. It is designed to pivot back providing
room for the bracket to be installed at an angle allowing the hook to
properly hook into the square cutout on the rack.
