Southco introduced the RA Rack Attach in response to technology-driven challenges around maintenance as manufacturers turn to liquid immersion cooling.

During maintenance, screws can be dropped and lost in the enclosure and hands can slip on slick metal as technicians try to lift heavy, liquid-covered hardware. These mishaps risk costly damage to server blades, and, more importantly, loss of server uptime.

The RA Rack Attach replaces traditional screws that secure a server blade to a rack. Instead, those screws are used to attach the RA to the blade, and an integrated pawl secures the blade to the rack. This pawl retracts when a technician presses an integrated trigger in the Rack Attach handle, providing easy release from the rack and a secure grip for the technician.
