Product Features
Technical Overview
This mounting solution consists of two adapter brackets engineered for 2U rack space utilization. The brackets are manufactured without included mounting hardware, allowing integration with existing server hardware components or requiring separate hardware procurement based on specific installation needs.
The design incorporates four strategic bends in each bracket to provide structural rigidity while maintaining the necessary clearance for server components and cabling. The 5-inch depth measurement represents the bracket's front-to-back dimension, critical for proper fit within rack mounting rails.
This section brings together practical product details such as Weight (Approximate), Compatibility, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This mounting rail kit delivers essential infrastructure support for server deployment in rack environments. The dual-bracket configuration provides symmetrical mounting points for balanced server installation, while the specific bend design ensures proper weight distribution and vibration resistance.
Precision Fit
Engineered specifically for IBM xSeries 336 servers, these brackets ensure exact compatibility and secure mounting without modification.
- IBM xSeries 336 compatibility
- No modification required
- Secure server mounting
Rack Optimization
The 2U form factor maximizes rack space utilization while maintaining proper server positioning for optimal cooling and accessibility.
- 2U rack space efficiency
- Optimal cooling alignment
- Server accessibility maintained
Deployment / Use Cases
This mounting rail kit is specifically designed for deploying IBM xSeries 336 servers in standard 19-inch rack cabinets. The brackets facilitate secure server installation in data center environments, server rooms, or network closets where rack-mounted infrastructure is required.
Typical deployment scenarios include enterprise server installations, data center expansions, server replacement projects, and infrastructure upgrades where compatible rack mounting solutions are needed. The brackets support both new server deployments and migration of existing IBM xSeries 336 systems to rack environments.
Data Center Installation
Ideal for data center environments requiring secure, standardized server mounting in rack cabinets with proper alignment and spacing.
- Standard 19-inch racks
- Data center compliance
- Proper server spacing
Server Migration Projects
Supports migration of IBM xSeries 336 servers from non-rack environments to standardized rack infrastructure for improved management and density.
- Server migration support
- Infrastructure standardization
- Improved rack density
Physical Profile
The adapter brackets feature a lightweight design at approximately 1.21 pounds (547.03 grams) total weight for the 2-pack. This weight specification ensures the brackets provide sufficient structural support without adding excessive load to rack mounting points. The 5-inch depth dimension represents the bracket's front-to-back measurement, critical for proper fit within standard rack mounting rails and compatibility with server chassis dimensions.

FAQ
What servers are compatible with this mounting rail kit?
This mounting rail kit is specifically designed for IBM xSeries 336 servers. The brackets are engineered to provide exact compatibility with the mounting points and chassis dimensions of the IBM xSeries 336 model, ensuring secure installation without modification in standard rack environments.
What is included in the 2UKIT-101-CG001 kit?
The kit includes two adapter brackets designed for 2U rack space. Each bracket features four bends and measures 5 inches in depth. No mounting hardware is included with these brackets - separate screws, bolts, or other mounting hardware must be procured based on your specific rack and server installation requirements.
How much rack space does this mounting solution require?
This mounting rail kit occupies 2U of vertical rack space. The 2U measurement refers to the height requirement in standard 19-inch rack cabinets, with each U representing 1.75 inches of vertical space. The brackets are designed to mount servers within this 2U vertical allocation while maintaining proper front-to-back depth alignment.
What is the weight of the mounting brackets?
The complete 2-pack of adapter brackets weighs approximately 1.21 pounds (547.03 grams). This lightweight design provides sufficient structural support for server mounting while minimizing additional load on rack mounting points and ensuring easy handling during installation.
What does '5in deep' refer to in the product specifications?
The '5in deep' specification refers to the front-to-back measurement of each adapter bracket. This 5-inch depth dimension ensures proper fit within standard rack mounting rails and compatibility with server chassis that require specific bracket positioning for optimal airflow, cable management, and component clearance.
Can these brackets be used with servers other than IBM xSeries 336?
These brackets are specifically engineered for IBM xSeries 336 server compatibility. While they might physically fit other server models with similar mounting point configurations, optimal performance and secure mounting are guaranteed only with the IBM xSeries 336. Using them with incompatible servers may require modification and could compromise installation security.
