Originally published October 5th, 2022. I had previously mounted my Supermicro CSE-836 enclosures using APC rail shelfs. This worked great but required leaving space between the servers. I wanted to try eliminating that by installing a generic rail kit from iStarUSA. After spending two days on the project, I discovered the server was too wide to fit in the rack with the new rails. Ugh.
