There are two types of IBM racks, and i don't know the part numbers in
my head:

There are enterprise racks and "normal" racks. The normal racks use a
different fastening system than the enterprise models. You will be able
to fit in normal Rack servers into both racks (at least with HP's and
IBM's rackmount kits, which mostly the same).

We have a DL380 G4 mounted in a IBM standard Rack, which didn't require
any special work.

I've heard that Dell is a different story, but I've never dealt with
those servers much.

Subject: IBM Rack Cabinet

Our 520 came in an IBM Rack Cabinet. Identifying marks I can see include
a
sticker on the inside which claims Model Number 7014 / 7015 / 7017, and
a
Feature Code 0551 sticker.



I want to add other (non-ibm) servers into this cabinet. Can anyone
suggest
a source of information about the accessories I can get for this rack,
such
as rails to hold an HP Proliant DL380 G4?



Now I look closely at this rack for the first time, it seems different
to
others I'm used to. Nowhere to use rack nuts for example. I just had to
nut
and bolt an HP switch in - is that what everyone else does?
