Abstract

A rail system for supporting one or more information handling systems in both a four-post rack and a two-post rack includes a bracket support member, first and second toolless connection brackets coupled to the bracket support member, and first and second tooled connection brackets coupled to the bracket support member. The toolless connection brackets are configured to couple to first and second posts, respectively, of a four-post rack in a four-post toolless configuration. The tooled connection brackets are configured to couple to opposite sides of a post of a two-post rack in either a two-post flush-mounted or two-post center-mounted configuration.
