As far as mounting goes, if these are like the compaq 1U boxes
(DL360), then you "only" need to replace the vertical panel mount
rails with ones that have the appropriate profile

panel mount                          panel mount
normal profile                      modified Dell/Compaq/HP profile
      __________                     ___________
      |        |                     |         |shelf/slider mount point
front |        | shelf/slider        |         |___________
(back)|        | mount point         |
of    |        |___________          |
rack  |                              |
      |                              |

The second profile doesn't foul the center line between the front
and back panel mounts the way the standard one does. Just finished
fighting this battle a couple of days ago. Telehouse (in London)
kindly advised what the correct thing to do was.
