Hi People 👋

I just got a new open rack on sale. The problem is it's max width is 519mm and the silverstone rails are 570mm..

My case is the RM400 (https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/RM400/)

Would some like one of these two options work? I would like sliding rails but if not possible it's not the end of the world

It is not a width, it is a depth you are referring to. The rack rails need a rack that has both front and rear ear rails, that are a minimum of 570 mm apart.

The problem is if the cabinet is not deep enough you are likely to run into other problems like the chassis itself will not fit into place with enough clearance front and rear for cables etc.

Yeah, sorry you're right. So the rails won't fit?
