Once upon a time, Chuck Anderson <cra () WPI EDU> said:
I've been asking manufacturers for proper server-like slide-rails for their switches for years.  Now they've started 
making the switches as deep or even deeper than servers, but they still use the same old rack ear mounting method.

Maybe it's because they're primarily a server vendor, but Dell switches
(at least the N3000 series I've used most recently) have 4-post mount
rails.  IIRC they aren't extending sliding rails like the servers have,
but the switch slides into the rails.
