TheA6 rail system, which is the default rail system being offered with the R210 II, is the shorter of thetwo and is well suited for mounting in 2-post racks or in 4-post racks with mounting flanges that arespaced in the 500-760 mm range. The A4 rail system is longer and can be used for mounting in 4-postracks with mounting flanges that are spaced in the 600-890 mm range. See Table 17 for specificadjustment range information on each rail system.
