Product Overview

Key Capabilities
Designed Exclusively for the S3016
This rail kit is manufactured specifically for the AXIS S3016 Network Video Recorder. It is not a universal fit, which means it is engineered to match the recorder’s exact dimensions and mounting points for a secure, correctly supported installation.
Wide Rack Depth Compatibility
The adjustable rail supports post-to-post rack distances from 376 mm to 499 mm, accommodating most standard server rack enclosures. This range makes it practical for a variety of IT room and server rack configurations without requiring custom adapters.
Aluminium Construction
Built from aluminium in a silver finish, the rail kit is lightweight yet sturdy enough to support the S3016 recorder in a 1U rack position over long-term deployment, resisting the flex and fatigue that can affect lower-grade rack hardware.
3-Year Manufacturer Warranty
Axis backs this replacement rail kit with a 3-year manufacturer warranty, providing assurance that it meets the same quality standards as the original component supplied with the S3016 recorder.
Best For
- Replacement After Damage or Loss: If the original S3016 rail kit has been bent, broken, or misplaced during a site relocation, this replacement restores proper rack mounting without the need to replace the entire recorder.
- New Rack Deployments of an Existing S3016: When an S3016 originally installed on a shelf or desktop is being moved into a rack environment, this kit provides the rail hardware needed to complete the transition.
- IT and Integrator Spare Parts Inventory: Systems integrators and facilities teams managing multiple S3016 units can keep a spare rail kit on hand to minimise downtime if a rack-mounted unit needs servicing or repositioning.
Why Choose the Axis S3016 Rack Rail Kit Replacement
The 02744-001 is not a generic rack rail. It is the manufacturer-specified replacement component for the AXIS S3016 Network Video Recorder, engineered to the same fit and finish as the original. A generic rail kit risks poor alignment with the S3016’s mounting points, potential chassis stress, and voided support arrangements. With confirmed compatibility for post-to-post depths from 376 mm to 499 mm, it covers a broad range of standard 1U rack enclosures and comes backed by Axis’s 3-year warranty. For integrators and IT teams who cannot afford recorder downtime in a live surveillance environment, having the correct OEM replacement is the practical choice. The 02744-001 is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the broader Axis accessories range, making it straightforward to source alongside other Axis components.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm Your Rack Depth Before Ordering: This rail kit accommodates post-to-post distances from 376 mm to 499 mm. Measure your rack’s internal post-to-post depth before purchasing. It is also not compatible with the AXIS S12 Recording Server Series or AXIS S22 Appliance Series, so verify that your recorder is specifically the S3016 before ordering this part.
