Dell PowerEdge R420 Dimensions and Rack Compatibility

Universal rails that have a height of 1U and support up to 24 inches of depth will be compatible with the PE R420. A benefit of these is the ability to re-use them for different servers or future upgrades. Plus, it’s easy to slide your server in and out of them for maintenance.
