Switches and routers sure- I've used it for things like that quite a bit- but I'd never put a server (even a 1U) in one. Ease of getting in and swapping parts

Switches and routers sure- I've used it for things like that quite a bit- but I'd never put a server (even a 1U) in one. Ease of getting in and swapping parts is a huge factor.
- stacktrust 4y agoIs there a good source for short-depth sliding rack rails, or is the DIY route (drawer slides) recommended?
- tzartz 4y agoI've never had luck with rails that weren't shipped with the device, but I know RackSolutions sells some universal shallow rails. I've never used them but I've seen them around.
- ComputerGuru 4y agoHow often are you doing that (vs using the drive bays up front), though? Anyway, I have a 4U with 1U devices like a switch, patch panel, and PDU in the back and then a 2U server in the front. You can just unscrew it and pull it out from that position (rather than having to pull it all the way out). I wouldn’t want to do it with more than one 2U server, though.
