Sorry for this post, but I have some issues with Dell and their rackrails... My problem is, that we are using some Dell Poweredge servers in 1U and 2U, and the Rapidrails for installation are quite tight... Because of mixed infrastructure, we cannot use the genuine Dell Racks, because we need the possibility to move the posts. (remark: at least in germany, the Dell Racks are Rittal racks, with fixed space between the 4 posts) So the Rapidrails (square holes) will fit perfectly in Rittal racks, given that one knows the exact distance, but no-one (including tech support of Dell and the salesman) were able/willing to tell me... Has any kind soul the exact measurement handy for the distance between the front and the back posts? should be around 73cm/28.7 inch TIA Olaf -- Olaf Hoyer ohoyer@gaff.hhhr.ision.net Fuerchterliche Erlebniss geben zu raten, ob der, welcher sie erlebt, nicht etwas Fuerchterliches ist.
