Rails for FPM185 KMM

Recently we have acquired a nice Dell FPM185 KMM without the mounting rails. Using the Dell Rails Matrix PDF:

https://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/business/solutions/engineering-docs/en/Documents/rail-rack-matrix.pdf

We noted that the FPM185 was listed with "-" as the rail identifier. A set of ReadyRails II  A7 1u rails were mounted but we noted that the KMM needed "slide-in" style rails, not the "drop-in" mounting the A7 set provided.

What are the rail types needed for this KMM? What are the part numbers and where can we purchase them? If they're proprietary, why include them on the rails matrix sheet with "-"? Additionally, are there any universal rail sets that will work with this KMM?

Thank you!

    Hello

    The spec sheet lists the rail system:

    http://i.dell.com/sites/content/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/dell-kmm-rack-console-spec-en.pdf

    DRMK-77 is sold as part number A7485911. If you go to dell.com and search either DRMK-77 or A7485911 it should pull up the sales page for the rails.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    The spec sheet simply lists the rail system as "ReadyRails II"

    Rail interface ReadyRails™ II Tool-less mounting for square-hole and unthreaded round-hole racks and tooled mounting for threaded round-hole racks

    I have looked up DRMK-77 / A7485911 and this looks to be an older mounting bracket. Can you confirm these work with the Dell FPM185 KMM? They look pretty different than the expected rails which can be seen here:

    Thank you.

    Hi Daniel,

    Thank you so much for digging into this, however there may be some confusion. I took another look at the DRMK-77 page: 

    www.dell.com/.../networking

    This attachment is used to mount a KVM to the backside of the KMM.

    Mount a select Dell™ KVM in the same U space with your Dell 18.5 inch KMM. This is the exclusive 1U mounting bracket for the Dell DMPU and DAV KVM products and select PowerEdge KVM consoles.

    This is in fact compatible, however, I am in search of the side slide rails for the KMM Unit itself, not the KVM attachment.

    Thank you!

    I did a lot of researching to verify that it was the correct part the first time I provided it. I looked again and the part numbers I provided are clearly listed on internal spreadsheets as the mounting rails for the DKMMLED185-**** series of KMMs.

    Thanks

    I am in search of the side slide rails for the KMM Unit itself, not the KVM attachment.

    I don't know if we sell those. I have limited access to sales tools, but I don't show them. When I look at the part kit for a new 18.5 KMM it includes the ready rails, and the rails that are in the kit are specific to this line of KMMs. The part number for the rails is not something we stock, and it is not a part used in any other line of products.

    The KMM is an advanced exchange item, that means we don't send a tech out to replace individual parts. If a part fails we replace the entire unit. I show that the kit to replace the 18.5 KMM includes the rails. I don't think they can be purchased separately.

    Thanks

    Hey,

    How are you?

    I have been looking for these stupid rails for a long time - same situation as you were in.

    Did you ever find the part or part number?   I hope that you found success.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I need also the rails for my KMMLED185. Which rails are shown in your picture? Maybe they fit?

    61vwuRC18mL._AC_SL1500_.jpg331-9439_1000-2.jpgHow can the seller not provide this information about the part number? Even for this, even the distributor in Korea cannot find the rail kit part number of kmm, and most people are guiding the drmk-77. As expected from the purchase, the drmk-77 is for mounting the kvm within 1u on the same line of the kmm rail kit. (ex: like 1082ds)

    I couldn't wait, so I purchased the kmm 18.5led and checked the included rail kit. There was no product number, and the engraved numbers were 462-14580 and 462-14858.
    Can't find it even with this information? dell can't even find the bundled railkit that is sold with the kmm?

    Hi, thanks for choosing Dell and sorry for your troubles, From what I think this is the Dell part number.
    N6WTX KIT,INSTL,DOC/HW,KVM,DRMK-77
    But I'm not sure we have that in stock any longer, most likely not.
    Upon my further research, I found out Avocent might have it. 
    Dell 1U KVM Mounting Brackets (Avocent DRMK-77) part # A7485911
    Hope this helps.

    This is interesting as You (Dell) keep saying DRMK-77 are the rail sets. THE READY RAILS for the KMMLED185.... the DRMK-77 is for the DAV2108-G01 Mounting on the rails. I find this is rather ridiculous that persons who obtain the KMMLED185 Can't even get the proper mounting supplies from the Manufacturer much less any 3rd party. I can't even seem to get all the rails for my R410 at all and the ones I've found don't include the inner section.
