13 Rack Information
13.1 Overview
The ReadyRails™ sliding rail system for the Dell™ PowerEdge™ R815 provides tool-less support for
racks with square or unthreaded round mounting holes including all generations of Dell racks. They
also support tooled mounting in 4-post threaded racks via an optional adapter brackets kit. The
optional cable management arm (CMA) can be mounted on either the left or right side of the sliding
rails without the use of tools for fast and easy deployment. It is important to note the following:
• The PowerEdge R815 is not compatible with any other Dell rails including previous generation
rails, but it does use the same rails as the R715, R810, and R910.
• The PowerEdge R815 supports sliding rails only. Static rails are not supported.
• Mounting in 2-post racks is not supported.
• The CMA is not supported on racks that are less than 1m in depth including Dell’s 4200 and
2400 racks.
13.2 Rails
The ReadyRails sliding rails for the R815 support tool-less mounting in 19”-wide, EIA-310-E compliant
square hole and unthreaded round hole racks and are available with or without the optional cable
management arm (CMA). See Figure 10.
