[AusNOG] Rack Studs - AWESOME

[Mark Dignam]

Or, there will some equipment manufacturer who demands that their equipment
is mounted using M7 bolts because of its weight loading.

 

On the other hand, we could just demand something like some of the current
IBM kit, I just installed a clients SAN, it was all 'snap in' slide rails,
no screws required.

All good until some gumby cross-threads something and reams thread out of
the rail...

If only rack rails were manufactured with tapped M6 holes instead of square
holes big enough to accept cage nut clips. Then we wouldn't need the nuts at
all.
