TMLPMOUNT41, TMLPMOUNT51 and TMLPMOUNT52
TMLPMOUNT41/51/52 series mounts Intel® Communication Rack Mount Servers to 2-
post or 4-post racks.
TMLPMOUNT41 and TMLPMOUNT51 are used for mounting servers on 19-inch wide racks.
These racks are considered standard EIA (universal hole spacing) racks.
TMLPMOUNT52 is used for mounting servers on 23-inch wide racks. These racks could be
standard EIA (universal or wide hole spacing) or ETSI (European) racks.
TMLPMOUNT41/51/52 series are designed with a slide-in rail-type system. Although the
mounts are designed as rails, they are not sliding rails. This means the servers can be slid
into the racks for installation purpose, but the rails are not designed to support a mounted
server during service.

Notes:
1. Extra care must be exercised with TMLPMOUNT41 to securely hold the server with one's hands
when sliding it out of the rack; otherwise, the server could fall to the ground as it is being
removed.
2. Plastic strips on TMLPMOUNT41 have peeled off in some customer installations. The result of
this is that the parts are usable, but the server could have somewhat of a "scrape-in feel" rather
than "slide in". Also, the rails will fit sloppier, so the side-located chassis securing screws could
be difficult to align in 2-post installations. Replacement material is available from the plastic
strip manufacturer.
3. Xylan is a tough, low-friction coating similar to Teflon.
4. EIA-Wide spacing doesn't have the interstitial hole that is present in EIA-Universal.
TMLPMOUNT51 contains an adapter bracket to overcome this EIA-Wide issue.
5. This component (2U Nut Bar) enables installation of a rail kit into a 1U rack slot when there is
already equipment installed both above and below that open slot.
6. The sides of the server must be accessible when using TMLPMOUNT41 in 2-post racks.
