Figure 37. M1000e VersaRails Static Rails
The VersaRails static rails are not intended to be mounted in threaded-hole racks since the rails
cannot be fully tightened and secured against the rack mounting flange. Neither the VersaRails nor
the RapidRails kits support mounting in 2-post racks.

The min-max values listed in the table above represent the allowable distance between the front and rear
mounting flanges in the rack.
12.3 Cable Management Arm (CMA)
Since the M1000e does not need to be extended out of the rack for service, neither the RapidRails
nor the VersaRails static rail systems support a cable management arm. Included instead are a strain
relief bar and cable enumerator clips to help manage and secure the potentially large number of
cables exiting the back of the system.
