Check Point CPAC-RAILS-EXT-SM700/7000 | Smart-1 700 & 7000 Extended Rack Rail Kit, 19in, Telescopic

Q: What is the difference between this kit and the standard Check Point rail kits (CPAC-RAILS-SM700S/700M and CPAC-RAILS-SM7000)?
A: This CPAC-RAILS-EXT-SM700/7000 is an extended-reach telescopic rail kit designed for deeper rack cabinets or installations where additional slide travel is needed. The standard kits (CPAC-RAILS-SM700S/700M and CPAC-RAILS-SM7000) are shorter fixed-depth slide rails intended for typical rack depths.

Q: Which Check Point appliances is this rail kit compatible with?
A: This rail kit is compatible with the Check Point Smart-1 700-S, 700-M, 7000-L, 7000-XL, and 7000-UL security management appliances.

Q: Does this rail kit work with both round-hole and square-hole racks?
A: Yes, the extended rail kit supports both round-hole and square-hole standard 19-inch rack cabinets compliant with EIA-310-D specifications.

Q: Can I service the appliance in the rack without fully removing it?
A: Yes. The telescopic design includes extraction handles and a release strip that prevents the appliance from sliding too far out, allowing safe in-rack servicing while the unit remains partially supported on the rails.

Q: Will these rails obstruct airflow to the Smart-1 appliance?
A: No. The open rail profile is designed to avoid blocking the appliance's ventilation, ensuring normal airflow is maintained during operation.

Q: Can I purchase this rail kit in Australia with local support?
A: Yes. The CPAC-RAILS-EXT-SM700/7000 is available through iptrading.com.au, an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller offering competitive pricing and local support for Check Point accessories.
