13 Rack Information

The ReadyRails™ sliding and static rail systems for the R415 provide tool-less support for 4-post racks with

square or unthreaded round mounting holes including all generations of Dell racks. Both support tooled

mounting in 4-post threaded racks (an optional adapter brackets kit is required for the sliding rails), with

the static rails also providing tooled mounting support for 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.

Note: The PowerEdge R415 is not compatible with any other Dell rails including previous generation rails,

but it does use the same sliding rails as the R310 and R410 and uses the same static rails as the R210, R310,

and R410.

The rail offerings for the R415 consist of two types: sliding rails and static rails.

13.2.1

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). See Figure 18.

Sliding rail kits can be used in a threaded hole rack only if threaded rack adapter brackets are installed. The

threaded rack adapter brackets are first mounted to the EIA flanges in the rack, and then the sliding rails
