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” wide racks.
These racks are considered standard EIA (universal hole spacing) racks.
TMLPMOUNT52 is used for mounting servers on 23” 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, else the server may fall to the
ground as its being removed.
2. Plastic strips on TMLPMOUNT41 have peeled off in some customer installations.
Consequence: The parts are usable, but the server may have somewhat of a
"scrape-in feel" rather than "slide in". Also, the rails will fit sloppier, so the
side-located chassis securing screws may 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.
