WAE-7341 rail kit or IBM chassis it is based on?

[clanger777]

Hello

I have a WAE-7341 that is about 3-4 years old.  It's missing the 4-post rack rails (lost) and my vendor claims this is not a Cisco FRU kit part so cannot be ordered.

I was hoping to find out from Cisco's site what IBM server chassis this device is based on and hopefully order a rail kit then from IBM.  I cant find any info on the chassis this is based on from Cisco's site literature on the wae-7300 series.  Also no searches reveal a part # that can be ordered for a rail kit for this - only a reference that "a rail kit is included in the box with your WAE-7341"...

Does anyone know a correct part number for this rail kit if it in fact exists, or the IBM chassis this unit is based on so i could try to find rails for it from IBM?

Thanks very much!

The WAE674, the WAE7341, and WAE7371 are IBM x3650 platform.

My company is a big IBM shop and you'd have no trouble rack mounting a WAEXYZ with an IBM rack kit.

Thanks Paul!

We ended up using some spare rails from a juniper ex8208 chassis that the wae7341 just sits on - which works

but we may look into the rails you suggested going forward as the 8200 rails dont allow me to lock the chassis into the rack (it's so heavy I doubt it woudl slide around but its best to have the proper equip )

thanks again!
