There's a terminology mismatch which seems to be causing some
mis-communication.

The things that connect horizontally in a rack, to the front and back
vertical mounting rails, into which a server is mounted (and usually
slides back and forth), are also often called rack rails.

For example, Dell's "Ready Rails", or rack solutions' quick rails
    https://www.rack-solutions.ca/dell-2950-quick-rail.html
or ebay
    http://www.ebay.com/bhp/server-rack-rails

Smaller devices often have only "rack ears".

James' experience may use a different terminology for the things that
hold the sides of a server in a rack, and allow sliding back and forth,


I think the original question involved where to get rack mounting
hardware for a particular model of server.
