Do you need Dell 1950 Fixed Rails?
The Dell 1950 can be rack mounted using several different methods. Utilizing a set of 1U Fixed Rails as an alternative to the Dell OEM Slide Rail Kit is a versatile option if the Dell OEM Slide Rail Kit is unable to be properly installed. The 1U Fixed Rail is a very simple generic product that allows most types of 1U servers to be installed into most types of server racks. There are two advantages to using this product. The first is largely economical. Dell OEM Slide Rails are expensive and some installations do not require the ability to slide the equipment out of the rack. The second advantage is versatility.
The 1U Fixed Rail will mount practically any 1U equipment into any rack. This is the catch all product of rackmounting, if nothing else works use this. Here are server rack options (4Post & 2Post) below. The 1UKIT-009 can be installed in both a Centermount as well as a Flushmount configuration.

Dell PowerEdge 1950 Rack Rails
There are customers that have problems with the PE1950 bot fitting into the server rack. To avoid this issues, you need to find a server rack that would accommodate for the physical depth and installation depth range of the server.
First, Dell has a different rail kit for the PE1950. The main Slide Rail is configurable for both square hole server racks as well as round hole server racks. This configuration option is achieved by a rotating assembly on the ends of the slide rails.
The common issues are:
- It’s this rotating assembly that causes the first problem. There are levers and mechanisms and things sticking out that get in the way when you try to install the new Rack Rails.
- The second problem is the actual installation depth required by the PE1950: length of rail – 31.5″, cable management assembly – 3.5″, front bezel – 1.5″, required front air space – 1″. The physical installation depth of a PE1950 is 37.5″.
- The third problem is the installation depth range of the slide rails. This is not the physical depth but the range that the rails can be installed in.PE1950: 26.9″ to 29.6″.
PE1950 Cable Management Arm Clearance
The clearance between the back of the chassis is that the CMA can lay flush against the back of the chassis depending on the type of cables present. With the CMA parallel to the chassis the CMA is 3.25″ from the rear edge of the chassis.
