PowerEdge R240 Dimensions and Rack Compatibility
The PowerEdge R240 chassis is 1 rack unit in height, has a depth of 22.58 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 R240.
Universal rails that have a height of 1U and support up to 19.55 inches of depth will be compatible with the PE R240. 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. You can also use our slam latch accessory kit for your Dell servers to be secured in place when using our universal rails. The retaining plate is only compatible with 1U-2U standard width universal rails.
