Intel Xserve and Center (2 post rack) Mounting.

[velo2k77]

I recently received my first Intel Xserve. With past g4 and g5 Xserves I have been able to center mount them into a 2 post telco rack. The new rack mount kits for the Intel Xserves seem to only support a 4 post rack. Has anyone had experience center mounting one of the new Intel Xserves? Is there a third party center mount solution?

Thanks, any input would be very helpful.

We too are having the same problem. It appears as though apple has gone after market with the current rail solution as it just is not up to the typical esthetic standards that we usually see.

I did some searching and discovered that the new Intel Xserves are 2 inches longer than previous g4 and g5 Xserves. I guess that the extra inch on each end makes it unsuited for center (2post rack) mounting? I really like the casing of the old ppc xserves.
