The IBM 01EM868 is the official side rail kit (also known as rack mounting rails or slide rails) designed specifically for the IBM Power System IC922 (machine type 8335-GTG / 8335-GTH), a high-performance 2U rack server from the POWER9 generation (launched 2018–2019).

This is a tool-less, full-extension sliding rail kit that allows the IBM Power IC922 server to be securely mounted in a standard 19-inch EIA-310 rack while providing smooth, full server pull-out for easy servicing, cabling, component replacement, or upgrades without removing the server from the rack.

The kit consists of:

  • Left and right telescoping rails
  • Quick-release latches
  • Tool-less snap-in mounting points (for square-hole racks)
  • Included hardware for round-hole/threaded racks (cage nuts, screws, adapters)
  • Installation instructions

It is adjustable to fit a wide range of rack depths (typically ~631–868 mm / 24.8–34.2 inches), making it compatible with most standard 19-inch racks (Dell, HPE, APC, Rittal, etc.). The rails support front-to-back or back-to-front airflow configurations and include safety stops to prevent accidental full removal.

This rail kit is essential for proper racking of the IC922 — it is the IBM-validated solution that ensures mechanical stability, proper alignment with the chassis, and compliance with IBM rack-mount specifications (especially important for heavy 2U POWER9 servers with multiple GPUs, large memory, or high-power PSUs).
