A deployment engineer goes on-site to install a mix of XE systems in a customer...

To ensure the correct server rails are on-site for the installation of PowerEdge XE servers, it’s essential to match the server model with the appropriate rail type. Based on the Dell Enterprise Systems Rail Sizing and Rack Compatibility Matrix, the following matches are correct:

XE9680 and B25: The XE9680 server is compatible with the B25 rail type, which is designed to support the size and weight of this particular server model1.

XE9640 and B25: Similarly, the XE9640 server can also utilize the B25 rail type for secure mounting in a rack1.

XE9680 and B28: Additionally, the XE9680 server is compatible with the B28 rail type, providing an alternative mounting solution1.

It’s important to note that the rail types are specific to the server models and are designed to ensure a secure and stable installation in the customer’s rack. The Dell Rail Sizing and Rack Compatibility Matrix provides detailed information on the compatibility of different server models with their respective rail types. This document should be consulted to verify the correct rail type for each server model before proceeding with the installation1.
