Random Rail Story #1 – Krafting's Lab
blog.krafting.net

I got a server case and some rails for free, they were annoying to build (yes, build), and I could not find anything regarding those rails online, so I decided to blog about it, in the hope of helping someone with all the same questions as me!

Also, I have no idea what I’ll do with this new server, any thoughts or fun ideas ?

    Yeah indeed ahah

    And yeah, I’m sure in the future I’ll find other weird server rails, and I actually have another pair of unused rails that I don’t know anything about, they are not sliding rails, just the “shelf” kind of rail. And I might talk a bit about it, even though there is a lot less to say about them (But rack mounting them is really finicky too it seems…)

    The next blog post will be about an IBM eServer 336 that I got for free too, I’ll probably separate it into multiple parts (Hardware Review + Software Tests)

    Edit: I just checked and there is a small HP part number sticker: 697305-001, and they are rails for the HP D3600 storage boxes! Well I know a lot more about these rails now
