Mounting a 4U server

[Abood1100]

Hello,

I have a server rack that supports up to 27U and I have 3x 4U rosewill servers to mount on it.

My question is, is it possible to mount the server without a slider installed on it?

and if I can put a slider on it then where can I find them online?

 

Thanks.

If you want to use rails, these should work for all Rosewill rack mount cases, I’d double check with your model number first though:

If you don’t want to use rails, you can either place the server on a shelf, or get supports like these:

 

If you decide to go with the shelf or supports, make sure they are rated for the weight of the server, servers can get heavy.

Thank you for your reply, I would like them to be mounted in a server rack on a rail. the link you have provided me is compatible with what I have.

Thanks again!

These are very good fit but they are expensive, Can I use the servers on a rack without support if I place them one by one from bottom to top, one on top of the other? or do I have to have rails or support brackets?

I would not be comfortable putting that much weight on one server. Depending on how heavy your severs are you might be able to get away with supporting every other one, but ideally they should all have their own rails or support.

The support brackets are cheap. Much cheaper than a dead server than collapsed.
