StarTech.com 1U Fixed 19" Adjustable Depth Universal Server Rack Rails

The StarTech.com 1U Fixed 19" Adjustable Depth Universal Server Rack Rails are engineered to streamline your rack deployment by enabling secure mounting of non-rackmount equipment inside standard 19" server racks. Designed for IT professionals, data center administrators, and facilities teams, these rails deliver reliable support, flexible depth adjustment, and durable construction to optimize space, organization, and airflow in busy data environments. Whether you’re integrating desktop servers, appliances, or other 19" gear, these universal rails harmonize with your existing infrastructure to minimize installation time and maximize rack efficiency.

• The rails provide universal 19" rack compatibility (EIA standard) with a practical 1U height, enabling precise use of vertical space while accommodating non-rackmount equipment. The adjustable depth design accommodates a range of chassis depths, ensuring a snug, stable fit without compromising accessibility or cable management. This makes it ideal for data centers, server rooms, and IT closets where versatility is essential to support mixed equipment within a single rack.
• Built from high‑quality steel with a durable black powder-coated finish, these rails are designed to withstand regular handling, installation, and rack maintenance. The rugged construction helps resist wear, corrosion, and impact from routine servicing, preserving alignment and performance over time.
• Engineering that emphasizes stability and alignment: front and rear mounting compatibility, secure attachment points, and robust tolerance control help prevent rail sag or misalignment. This results in smoother slide-in and removal of devices, reduced risk of damage to equipment, and improved overall rack integrity during access or reconfiguration.
• Comes with standard mounting hardware to simplify installation into compatible 19" racks. The straightforward design minimizes the tools and steps required, making it easier to deploy in constrained spaces or during large-scale rack refresh projects. This makes it a practical choice for expanding data centers or upgrading aging rack infrastructure.
• Designed with data-center practicality in mind: these universal rails support a range of equipment types, facilitate clean cabling, and contribute to better airflow by maintaining predictable rack geometry. The result is improved cooling efficiency, easier asset maintenance, and a tidy, scalable rack environment that adapts to evolving IT needs.

how to install StarTech.com 1U Fixed 19" Adjustable Depth Universal Server Rack Rails

• Prepare the rack: Inspect the rack posts for straightness and verify there is a compatible 19" mounting space at the desired height. Gather all included mounting hardware and a screwdriver or tool set as needed.
• Attach rails to the rack: Align the rails with the front mounting flanges at the selected height. Secure each rail to the rack posts using the provided screws or hardware, ensuring the rails are level and parallel to one another.
• Set the depth: Extend or reposition the rails to the appropriate depth setting for your equipment. Confirm that the adjustable depth mechanism is locked in place so the device will slide smoothly without binding.
• Load the equipment: With assistance if needed, slide the non-rackmount device or desktop server into the 19" space, guiding it along the rails. Align mounting holes on the chassis with the rail assemblies if applicable.
• Secure and test: Attach any remaining brackets or fasteners required by the device and rails, then tighten all screws. Verify that the equipment sits securely, can slide in and out without resistance, and that there is sufficient clearance for cables and airflow.
