There are many different types of server rack mounts available for various servers. The reason why there are many different types of rack mounts is because servers come in many different shapes and forms; therefore the appropriate rack mount is needed. Also other reasons include the fact that some offices might have less room therefore would need a rack mount that doesn’t take up as much space, while others require a server rack with better accessibility which would require rack mounts in a shelved form.
Most Mounting structures come in shelved form, to provide easier access as well as save space. 19 inch server racks tend to be the standard for offices. There is also a bootless mounting technique which is less expensive and requires fewer parts, which is quickly becoming popular. Also handles are available on some rack mounts in order to allow easy access to all the sides of the server.
Due to security reasons a lot of server rack mounts are bolted to the floor, in order to prevent them from falling over since a lot of them have risks of tipping over depending on how tall they are and how many servers are stacked in the server racks. Bolting the server mounts to the structure ensures that the servers are kept safe as well as prevents any health and safety hazards for the employees. There are many other measures that are taken in order to prevent the rack mounts from tipping over such as stacking them properly, or not leaving any cables out so employees don’t trip on them.
