Hello, it looks like server cabinet that I just got off of Facebook marketplace doesn’t seem to have rails or a rack. I’m not sure what the terminology for all of this is but I don’t see a clear way to mount anything to the server cabinet could any of you kind souls explain what I need to buy for this cabinet?

    3D printed spacing jig, a power drill, and some riv-nuts and you might have something serviceable

    I have just steal rack strips if you are local to the Bay Area (Brentwood or concord) you can have free.

    It was stripped for parts. Rails and mounting points are proprietary to each manufacturer. You cannot find generic replacements (at least not without some modifications)

    They likely took all the old equipment out by removing the rails completely rather than doing it properly. Does the seller show other items for sale and do they list the missing parts in a separate listing?

    Lesson learned. Inspect your purchases and know what you are buying before handing over the money.

    Hook a leaf blower to it and stack money inside to make one of those hurricane cash grab things!

      you might even make enough money from that scheme to buy yourself another Facebook marketplace cabinet!

    This looks very similar to a cabinet I recently aquired. It was an A/V cabinet that had PA equipment mounted in it. I measured and did my research and bought a set of square hole rails 48U that bolted right to the inside of the cabinet. I picked them up from a surplus location. I did have to do a little extra drilling, installing some nuts, bolts, and spacers to make it all the perfect width. I wanted the fully enclosed cabinet with glass all the way around it.
