Yes... especially on 4-post racks. All of our 4-post racks at work require the cage nuts. I've never seen a 2-post rack that uses them, but I'm sure they exist. I'm not very familiar with the round unthreaded holes that this rack apparently has though. Most have square holes (as earlier poster had asked about) that require "cage nuts" (nuts housed in a frame that can be clipped into the square holes... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cage_nut). "Normal" rack bolts then screw into the cage nuts to secure everything in place. Cage nuts can be purchased easily/affordably just about anywhere that sells corporate-class computer equipment/furnishings (such as equipment/server racks). _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
