Mounting hardware
For many servers, no mounting tray or rails are required. Devices simply slide into the server’s chassis
and are fixed with screws. Other servers have built-in trays or rails.
Rail kits for a number of industry-standard servers may be available. For more details refer to:

Some servers use non-standard mounting rails and do not include spares. If this is the case with your
system, you will have to order these accessories from the server manufacturer before you can install the
RDX Removable Disk Backup System.
