HP DL180/DL120 what do i ned to install them in a cabinet, which rail kit?

Hi all,

we have just bought a rack mount cabinet, but inside the cabinet it just has the standard four pillars with the square holes in, these rackmoun servers have no built in support for that do they

is it a rail mount kit that i need?
if so could anyone point me to a uk website that sells railmount kits so i can get these servers in the cabinet

need to order these today so any help is more than appreciated

THanks

yeah i found that site doesnt show where i can buy from, theres a link to a us website for the two pillar kit, but not for the four pillar

is what i need called a rackmount kit, or railmount kit, or rack rail mount, what do i need to search for, and do i need specific ones for servers or can any generic one do?

thanks
