Hello, it looks like server cabinet that I just got off of Facebook marketplace doesn't seem to have rails or a rack. I'm not sure what the terminology for all of this is but I don't see a clear way to mount anything to the server cabinet could any of you kind souls explain what I need to buy for this cabinet?

It was stripped for parts. Rails and mounting points are proprietary to each manufacturer. You cannot find generic replacements (at least not without some modifications)

They likely took all the old equipment out by removing the rails completely rather than doing it properly. Does the seller show other items for sale and do they list the missing parts in a separate listing?

Lesson learned. Inspect your purchases and know what you are buying before handing over the money.
