Full details

The Rittal DK 5302.035 Rack Rail Kit is designed for IT professionals and system integrators who need to mount 19-inch equipment securely within Rittal server racks and patch cabinets. Its key benefit is the adjustable depth, allowing for flexible installation between 600-825mm. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility primarily with Rittal VX IT rack systems, requiring verification for other brands.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight these rails can support?

These rails have a load capacity of up to 80kg per pair, making them suitable for most standard servers and networking equipment.

Are these rails compatible with all server racks?

They are primarily designed for Rittal VX IT rack systems. While they are built for standard 19-inch mounting, compatibility with other rack brands and depths should be verified against the 600-825mm adjustable range.

How do I adjust the depth of the rails?

The depth is adjusted by loosening the screws securing the rails to the rack's mounting angles, sliding the rails to the desired position between 600mm and 825mm, and then re-tightening the screws.

What material are the rails made of?

The rails are constructed from high-quality steel plate with a zinc finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

How many rails come in a pack?

The product comes with two rails per pack, which is sufficient for mounting one piece of 19-inch equipment.

Do these rails require special tools for installation?

Standard tools such as a screwdriver or wrench suitable for M6 or M8 screws are typically required for installation, depending on your rack's hardware.

Can these rails be used for equipment other than servers?

Yes, any standard 19-inch rack-mountable equipment, such as patch panels, network switches, or KVM drawers, can be mounted using these rails, provided the weight and dimension requirements are met.

Troubleshooting

Rails do not fit the rack depth.

Ensure the rack's internal mounting depth is between 600mm and 825mm. Adjust the rail's variable depth mechanism to match the specific distance between front and rear mounting angles.

Equipment slides unevenly or gets stuck.

Check for obstructions on the rail or within the sliding mechanism. Ensure the rails are mounted securely and parallel to each other within the rack. Clean and lightly lubricate the sliding surfaces if necessary.

Rails do not seem sturdy enough for the equipment's weight.

Verify that the load capacity of 80kg per pair is not exceeded. Ensure all mounting points are securely fastened to both the equipment and the rack's mounting angles.

Mounting screws do not fit the rack's threaded holes.

Confirm you are using the correct size and type of screws for your specific server rack's mounting angles. Standard Rittal racks typically use M6 or M8 screws.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers significant flexibility with adjustable mounting depths.
  • High load capacity ensures stability for heavy equipment.
  • Durable steel construction guarantees longevity.
  • Optimized for Rittal VX IT racks, ensuring a perfect fit.
  • Provides smooth operation for easy equipment management.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for Rittal VX IT systems; compatibility with other brands may require verification.
  • Weight of 3.08 kg per pair adds to the overall rack weight.
  • Specific 1U rack capacity limits its use to equipment designed for this height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine Rack Depth: Measure the internal depth of your server rack or patch cabinet between the front and rear mounting angles. Ensure this depth falls within the 600mm to 825mm range.
  2. Attach Rails to Equipment: Securely mount one rail to each side of the 19-inch equipment you intend to install, using appropriate screws (typically M6 or M8, depending on the equipment).
  3. Attach Rails to Rack: Mount the other end of the rails to the front and rear mounting angles of the server rack. The variable depth adjustment allows you to position the rails correctly before final tightening.
  4. Insert Equipment: Carefully slide the equipment onto the installed rails until it clicks or locks into place.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Compatibility: Rittal VX IT rack systems.
  • General Compatibility: Designed for standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment.
  • Rack Depth: Suitable for racks with internal mounting depths between 600mm and 825mm.
  • Note: Always verify compatibility with non-Rittal rack systems before purchase.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the rails with a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.
  • Lubrication: The sliding mechanism may benefit from occasional light lubrication if it becomes stiff. Use a silicone-based lubricant suitable for metal-on-metal contact, applied sparingly.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the rails for any signs of damage, wear, or loose fittings. Ensure all mounting screws remain tight.
