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?

If you need a server cabinet this big…
… then you can afford just to buy a budget cabinet.
Otherwise, how can you afford the power bill?
Servercabinet doesn’t have railsFixed the title
I’d return it if it was sold as a server rack.
Ooh it’s off the rails.
Nice 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.
Utah is my guess based on OPs profile
Damn, guess they sit in the garage a bit longer
Hell, I’d pay for shipping. I live on the west coast now
Will PM you
The things you’re thinking of are called ‘mounting profiles’
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!
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.
That’s called an open-air portable closet.
Cellular Phone Booth
That’s clearly the server admin’s office.
Who takes the effort to remove the mounting rails? Take it as a lesson learned for next time, and find a server rack with actual square hole or round hole mounting rails.
It’s the Helpdesk penalty box
LOL
It’s for a virtual server , … :D
