So a while ago I purchased a supermicro 4u 24 bay rack mount server and then sometime later a 16bay norco expander. Both of these are the standard boxes you constantly see popup on ebay and mentioned in the forums here. I've had them laying on shelves or the floor for a long time now but I just had an opportunity to purchase a sound proof rack box to mount them.
However for some reason I'm just completely confused by what equipment I need to mount the cases in the rack! I'm not sure exactly what's so confusing about it, but assuming I only have the rack and the cases mentioned, exactly which pieces of equipment should I get to mount them? Do you typically buy the rails from the case manufacturer or the rack manufacturer?
The rack is a WQ-990 as follows: Server Racks & Server Cabinets | Claytek Products | WQ-990 - 9U 900mm Depth Ultimate Quiet Server Cabinet
The first case, the 4U looks like this on the side:

And the front looks like:

The Norco unit looks like this from the side:

And this from the front:

The interior of the rack looks like: 20170208_162942.jpg
Like I said, this should all be pretty standard stuff but I'm having trouble picking out the *exact* pieces I need, so if you could spare me some wisdom, or even better, ebay links, I'd appreciate it.
