UCS M240 M3 rail screw size

[kanti]

Hi!

What size are the screws that fix the inner rail to the server? We lost them during relocation, and are planning to order a replacement set. The Installation guide only mentions the screws which are used between the rack tower and the outer rails.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Kanti

Thanks for your question.

To start, I think that you want to refer to UCS C240 M3 and not to UCS M240 M3.

Taking this into account, Cisco typically uses standard sizes for their server rack screws. Generally, most rack equipment uses 10-32, 12-24, or M6 screws.

In order to complement this, feel free to check the follow details about this topic:

• About the documentation, the follow link were found: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C240/install/C240/install.html and https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/c240m3-sff-specsheet.pdf
• Cisco Inner Rail - Rack rail kit PID found is: UCSC-RAIL-2U-I=
• Since the follow message "This product has been discontinued" was found on https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/c240m3-sff-specsheet.pdf. So you may want to contact Cisco's customer support or your server's manufacturer directly for this specific information. They should be able to provide you with precise specifications or even send you the correct replacement screws, in particular about the PID UCSC-RAIL-2U-I=, for example.

I hope that this information can be useful to you.

Best regards.
