Abstract
In one aspect of the present disclosure, a rack system includes a pair of arm assemblies that include an arm with reversible brackets on either end of each arm. The arm assemblies attach to the rack rails and support a component such as a server. The brackets are formed to selectively rotate with respect to the arm between a first position and a second position. In the first position the brackets are operable to interface a rack system rails that have a first interface type. In the second position the brackets are operable to interface rack system rails that have a second interface type. This allows the arm assembly to be installed in different types of rack systems.
