Dell PowerEdgeR720Dimensions and Rack Compatibility
The PowerEdge R720 chassis is 2 rack units in height, has a depth of 29 inches and will fit in standard EIA 19 inch racks.
Rails allow for the most efficient use of space when mounting servers. RackSolutions specifically designed a slide rail kit to fit the shoulder screws of the PowerEdge R720.
Universal rails that have a height of 2U and support up to 29 inches of depth will be compatible with the PE R720. 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.
The Dell PowerEdge R720 Dry Slide Rails are an alternative solution for the Dell rail kit that is provided with the R720 server.
