What must be considered regarding stab-in rails with installing a PowerEdge XE server?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Understanding Stab-in Rails:

Stab-in rails are designed to simplify the server installation process. These rails enable a quick and straightforward installation of the server into the rack.

Compatibility and Usage:

Stab-in rails are specifically designed for use in 4-post racks with square holes. This compatibility ensures stability and proper fitting within the rack structure.

Installation Process:

Before initiating the installation, verify that the rack is a 4-post, square hole type.

Position the stab-in rails to align with the square holes on the rack. Typically, stab-in rails have tabs that fit precisely into these square holes.

Mounting the Server:

Once the rails are securely attached to the rack, the server can be mounted. The design of the stab-in rails facilitates a smooth insertion of the server, ensuring it is securely held in place.

Ensuring Proper Fit:

After the server is mounted, check to ensure that it is level and securely attached. This step is crucial to prevent any movement or displacement that could occur due to vibrations or physical disturbances.


Dell EMC PowerEdge XE9680 and XE8640 Installation and Service Manual: This manual provides detailed instructions on the use and installation of stab-in rails, including compatibility with specific rack types.

Dell EMC Technical Specifications Guide: Offers comprehensive specifications and compatibility information for different mounting and installation hardware used with Dell PowerEdge servers.

I'm stuck between A and D. But I guess the inner rail has to be installed first, so D is the safest bet.

B is wrong, the server should be able to extend from the rack. That's the whole point of the stab-in rails!

Definitely D. The inner rail has to be installed first before putting the server in the rack, otherwise it won't slide in properly.

Inner rail first? Sounds like someone had a little too much coffee before writing this question.

Vertical installation, huh? Guess they want us to hang the server from the ceiling. Where's the fun in that?

Option D sounds like the way to go - gotta get that inner rail in first before racking the server. Seems like common sense to me.
