Hello,

I've posted about this previously, but looking for a set of MCP-290-00014-00 rails for an ancient 3U unit I have. Very hard to find in the last few years. Looking to be shipped to me in Toronto.

Looking for someone in North America who might have a set to sell.

Also, if some European colleagues were willing to help, this store has some, but do not ship outside of Europe (as I understand, the site is German, and their email reply to me stated they don't ship to Canada). If some forwarding can be organized, I'd be grateful. Happy to discuss via PM.

Thanks!

Are these the correct outer rails for what you need?


If so, I think I have an extra set of inner rails you can have if you take care of shipping.

Thanks for the reply. Honestly the documentation for older SM rails is so poor. I was told that I needed MCP 290-00014-00 rails for my chassis. But I remember another STH forum post where users talked about the MCP 290-00001. Let me do some research, or maybe a familiar user will be able to shed light?

I will get back to you! Thanks!

It looks from here like the -00001 is for 4U and the -00014 is for 3U, although guessing from pictures, I think only the inner rail is different between 3U and 4U.


I do also have a complete set of the 3U rails which belong to a system I still own so I am not ready to get rid of them. But I pulled them out and here are the part numbers stamped on the individual parts in case it helps your search:

01-SC83614-XX00C003 (left outer front)
01-SC83615-XX00C003 (left inner)
01-SC83616-XX00C003 (right outer front)
01-SC83617-XX00C003 (right inner)
01-SC83629-XX00C001 (outer rear both sides) x 2

Besides any 3U/4U difference, the set I have looks like they are a "deeper" set of rails than what is in that eBay listing. I know on most of the Supermicro rails there are two different versions of different depth ranges of cabinets.

That German site looks like it shows one "deep" rail and one "shallow" rail. The deep one looks just like my rails as far as I can tell.

Which 3u case do you have? I'm local to you, I believe I have a pair that might work.

Thanks so much for the time and information. Those individual part numbers are really helpful!

Hi!

I have an old revision SC836. I’m not at home at the moment to grab a model #,but the sizing is described in another STH post


With spacing like in this image (wider space between rows of clips)


Do your rails match the numbers in David Madole’s post above?

thanks!

Not sure if you're still working on this, but the MCP-290-00114 is the outer rail portion of the MCP-290-0058 Rail Kit. The MCP-290-0058 is short and will only extend to 27". The MCP-290-0053 extends to 36.4" and is easy to find on ebay. Check to see if your system is compatible. For example, SYS-6037R-72RF uses the 3U CSE-836BE16-R920B chassis and is validated to work with those rails.
