Greetings
Have an old HP rack (tall think its a 42U or so.
Finding the cage nuts - - - where at a reasonable price?
What else to I need to install 2 old servers and 2 rack UPSs?
I have been looking but am finding that different companies call things by different names.
Also looking where I might be able to get these things reasonably (have access to a US delivery address if that helps the costs).
I find the main trouble is known what kind of screws a specific type of rack needs. Would be great if these things had a standard, but apparently they don't. Well at least there are too many standards to pick from. https://www.rack-solutions.ca/rack-hardware.html seems to have a nice summary of sizes used. Seems HP uses M6 screws. Their prices look pretty decent too. And they appear Canadian. :) -- Len Sorensen
