An AXXVRAIL rail set is shipped with each appliance so you can install it in a rack and place the appliance on it.

Verify the number of studs on the sides of the appliance and the number of slots on the rails. You might need to remove studs from the appliance.

The default rail set works in most racking systems. If the shipped rail set doesn't work, use one designed for your server cabinet.
