When a deployment uses customer-provided racks and PDU, mini racks are used to ship hardware from the Dell Technologies factory. The racks arrive at the customer location with servers and switches racked and stacked in them.
Each server (scale nodes and management server) and switch (ToRs and BMC) has rail kits that must be transferred to the customer-provided rack. The following table lists the rails for the servers and switches in the stack.
