IS there an efficient way to mount these into a server rack?

not sure other than the top of each one has a bolt hole and bolt to stack the racks.

It is set up to be an independent rack. However, I mounted mine but drilling holes in the base. It can be done but it voids the warranty

No, not only that; not good for much of anything. If you will pay the postage, I'll give it to you.

Hello,I think mounting the support arms opposite of the picture would work. You may also have to flip the grid over.The rack is finished on all sides so you wouldn't have to worry about the look either.

Yes. I mounted them to a plywood board. I had trouble with the loops breaking off the rack, however, making it almost useless.

You could put 2 3 rack systems side by side. It would probably take up a bit more space than a 6 rack system, but would work if you have sufficient space.

no, it would not be suitable for a standard rack mount. Plus, it's very weighty.

That is completely up to you. With a minimum purchase, yes the 4 screws would hold the entire weight of the contents. The screws should be able to support the weight, but they may be difficult to position in order to tighten them. I bought a set of rails for the bottom case of my rack. Another option would to be to install the case in your rack empty, and then add the contents. That postpones any problems until you need to service anything inside. If you do buy the rails, the bottom machine can support the next machine until you get those screws tightened.

I don't think this is rack mountable, Check Silverstone's web site for the manual and it may say so in there.

I don't see why not. That would seem to me to be an even easier install. I have been very happy with these racks. Thanks,

You should be able to. Mine came with wall mount slots on the bottom, as well as a set of wall screws. http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/csbus/sf10x-xx_sg10x-xx/rackmount/quick_start/78-19225.pdf

While this could be use for a 2U server, I would recommend purchasing a rackmount designed for such things. These are extremely sturdy and made specifically to mount APCs rackmount UPSes. As such, the metal thickness, spacing, and mounting holes are designed around that purpose.It's not difficult to find either rackmounts for your specific server or a universal one designed for a 2U appliance.

A wire cooling rack to separate the layers might work. Just a thought. I'm looking into racks right now!

The NAS is not very deep, so most chassis will work fine for this. These boxes follow a standard width size, so you just need to make sure whatever rack you buy has dimensions that would allow for a few inches of space behind the unit for cabling.

This unit is not meant to be rack-mounted, and there is no hardware included for rack mounting. you'd have to either set it on top of something in the rack or buy a rack mount shelf.The switch supports "trunking" (802.1q tagging), so you can daisy-chain them. Of course, a better design would be for each of the two switches to have a separate uplink to a core or distribution layer switch, if that's the application. Cheers.

Yes it will work fine for that. Any server that spans the width of the rack works.

We use a rack for servers, firewall, UPS, etc. The switch has met expectations - no problems - excellent performance. It's so small [11.5"w x 7"d x 2"h], weight est. 3 lb, that we don't mount it... It just sits on a "shelf" in the rack. Heat grids are on the sides, so as long as it's not over a strong heat source, it has been AOK. Don't have a rack kit.

No, they are designed strictly for a square hole rack. Dell does offer a set that works with roundholes. Check servermonkey.com

There are low voltage boxes that can be installed fairly easily. Search low voltage mounting brackets or box and you'll find what you need.
