Sorry if I describe some components incorrectly but I have never worked with rackmount stuff before.
Anyways, A while back I briefly mentioned I got hold of an HP 9000 D-class system.
It originally came in that nice HP rack however someone shotgunned it and I was left with all of the internals...and the HP-UX discs which were taped to the inside of the machine.
...well, almost all the internals.
While I managed to get a bag of bolts, the majority of the hardware that was in the rack had little "ledges" which were bolted to the front and back of the rack and the hardware sat on top of that as well as they were bolted to the front so they did not slide out. There was also a power bar which had those pass-through connectors that a lot of older AT and early ATX power supplies had (you know, that thing on the top right?).
I was unable to keep the ledges or the power bar.
If I'm to put this back in a full size rack I need to find both those sets of ledges and the power bar but are these stock rackmount components or are these kinds of things proprietary to HP?
