Rail Kits (Rackmount)

Tidy Up Your Data Center with Tekmart Africa’s Rail Kits and Rackmounts

Are you looking to organize your data center and ensure your servers are properly mounted? If you’ve encountered servers without mounting kits, or procured a server or storage system that didn’t come with standard mounting rails, then you’ve come to the right place! At Tekmart Africa, we offer a wide selection of rail kits and rackmounts, perfect for organizing and installing your servers with ease.

What Are Rail Kits and Rackmounts?

Rail kits and rackmounts are essential for the easy installation and organization of server components within a rack. These kits allow you to securely mount and manage servers, storage systems, and other equipment, ensuring a tidy and efficient setup. Our selection includes universal kits, extension kits, shelf mount kits, and cable management arms, making it easier to not only mount your equipment but also manage your cables effectively. These kits are typically tailored to specific manufacturers, server models, and server versions. At Tekmart Africa, we supply rail kits from well-known brands like SUN, NetApp, EMC, Cisco, and more.

Static Rails vs. Sliding Rails: What’s the Difference?

When choosing a rail kit, it's important to understand the two main types of rails: sliding rails and static rails.

• :: Sliding rails allow you to fully extend your system out of the rack, similar to a kitchen drawer. This makes it easy to service your system without removing it from the rack.
• :: Static rails, on the other hand, don’t provide the same level of extension but are more flexible when it comes to rack compatibility. They support a wider range of installations and rack types.

To ensure you select the right rail kit, make sure you know the model number of your system and the type of rack you are using. Equipment racks can come in two-post or four-post varieties with either square or round holes, so the rail kit must be compatible with both your server and the rack.
