Installing the Dell ReadyRails System
The ReadyRails rack mounting system is provided to easily configure your rack so
that you can install your switch.
Install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less method or one of three possible
1U tooled methods (two-post flush mount, two-post center mount, or four-post
threaded).
1U Tool-less Configuration (Four-Post Square Hole or
Unthreaded Round Hole)
To install the Dell ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less configuration, follow
these steps.
1 With the ReadyRails flange ears facing outward, place one rail between the left

vertical post flange. To see how the pegs appear in both the square and
unthreaded round holes, refer to item 1 in the following figure.
2 Align and seat the front flange pegs in the holes on the front side of the vertical
post. Refer to item 2 in the following figure.
