Rail for use in a server equipment rack

Connector

Connector for a server rack

A connector assembly for securing multiple rails in a computer rack system, the rack system having at least four racks positioned on separate corners to form a front, rear and two sides of a rack frame, and wherein each rack has a plurality of rack openings. The connector assembly comprising two pair of front and rear connectors, each pair being secured to the rack frame against one of the sides defined thereby, and wherein each pair of front and rear connectors are configured to secure thereto a plurality of rails. In addition, each connector, of the front and rear connectors, includes a base plate extending from a top to a bottom, and the base plate of each connector being configured to secure to a plurality of rails.

Connectors to secure multiple rails in a server rack

An improved server frame for securing equipment thereto. The server frame includes four corner secured between a base and a top. Each corner has a plurality of standard openings to receive ends of a standard rail system used to secure the equipment to the frame. The improvement defined by four interior posts, each has a base plate and an arm plate extending from the base plate. Each interior post is separately secured about the corner post. Each arm plate includes rail apertures. A pair of outer rails secured from the front to the rear of the server frame. Each outer rail has rear and front rear facing hooks configured to allow the outer rail to slide into engagement with the rail apertures on the interior posts, such that the outer rails are configured to receive inner rails secured to equipment for sliding the equipment into the server frame.

Server rack system for mounting equipment

Bracket

A support rail assembly for supporting a load in a computer rack system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention includes a pair of rails configured to be secured to sides of computer equipment and secured to the rack system such that the computer equipment may slide into and out of the rack system. Each rail includes an inner rail slideably engaging an outer rail. The inner rail being secured to the sides of the computer equipment and the outer rail being secured to the front and rear racks. The outer rail having rear end and front end bracket that attach to the racks. Unique front end locking flanges and rear end locking flanges with rear end piloting flanges allow the outer rails to quickly pivot and lock into position.
