A system and apparatus to mount devices to a rack is disclosed. Embodiments may comprise mounting hardware configured to adaptively accommodate attachment features of a rack to mount devices such as servers to the rack. A device attachment member may couple with the device, and some of these device attachment members may comprise a bent portion to facilitate coupling the device to vertical members of a rack. Many device attachment members may have in place of or in addition to the bent portion, a slide attachment member and rack attachment slidably coupled with the device attachment member to provide tool-less attachment of the device to the rack via pins. These rack attachments may also adaptively accommodate attachment features such as round openings, square openings, and/or threaded openings of a vertical member of the rack and may advantageously provide a threaded member to secure the device attachment member to vertical members.

1. An apparatus, comprising:a device attachment member to couple a device with a server rack; a slide attachment member slidably coupled with the device attachment member to slide along an axis of the device attachment member; and a rack attachment coupled with the slide attachment member and including a traveling nut to fasten the rack attachment with an attachment feature of the server rack via a threaded member to couple the device with the attachment feature. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the device attachment member comprises a bent portion having an opening to couple with the attachment feature, wherein the attachment feature comprises a member having a threaded opening.3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the slide attachment member couples with the device attachment member via a spring.4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the slide attachment member comprises a lever portion to couple the rack attachment with the attachment feature.5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the lever portion comprises a curved face to pull the slide attachment member and the rack attachment to a trigger position of the slide attachment member, to load a spring coupling the slide attachment member with the device attachment member.6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the slide attachment member comprises a button portion to hold the slide attachment member in the trigger position, wherein the button portion comprises an extension to insert into a trigger opening of the device attachment member at the trigger position.7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the button portion is movably attached to the slide attachment member to remove the extension from the trigger opening of the device attachment member in response to pressure applied to the button portion.8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rack attachment comprises a pin to facilitate tool-less attachment of the rack attachment with the attachment feature.9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rack attachment comprises a pin having a cylindrical portion to couple with the attachment feature, wherein the attachment feature comprises a member having a round opening.10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the pin comprises a second portion having a larger cross-sectional area than the cylindrical portion, coupled between the cylindrical portion and a lip of the rack attachment, to couple with the attachment feature, wherein the attachment feature comprises a member having a rectangular opening.11. An apparatus, comprising:a device attachment member having a bent portion with an opening to attach the device attachment member to an attachment feature of a rack via a threaded member; a slide attachment member slidably coupled with the device attachment member; and a rack attachment including a non-threaded member to couple the slide attachment member with the attachment feature to mount a device to the rack, wherein the attachment feature comprises a member having a non-threaded opening; wherein the non-threaded member comprises a pin having a first portion to couple the rack attachment with the attachment feature, wherein the attachment feature comprises a member having a round opening, and a second portion to couple the rack attachment with the attachment feature, wherein the attachment feature comprises a member having a square opening, the smaller portion of the first and second portions coupled with the rack attachment to enter the attachment feature before the larger portion of the first and second portions. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, the device attachment member comprises a slide to couple with the device to facilitate removing the device at least partially from the rack while the device is mounted in the rack.13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the rack attachment comprises a member having a traveling nut to fasten the attachment member to the attachment feature.14. A system, comprising:a server to mount in a rack; a device attachment member to couple with the server; a slide attachment member coupled with the device attachment member to slide horizontally along the device attachment member; a rack attachment coupled with the slide attachment member to couple the device attachment member with a vertical member of the rack, wherein the rack attachment adapts to accommodate an attachment feature of the vertical member; and wherein the slide attachment member couples with the device attachment member via a spring, wherein the spring is to facilitate insertion of a pin through the attachment feature and further wherein the slide attachment member comprises a button to release the slide attachment member to slide toward the vertical member in response to decompression of the spring. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the device attachment member comprises a slide to couple with the server, the slide coupling with the device attachment member to facilitate horizontal motion of the server after the server is mounted in the rack.16. The system of claim 14, wherein the pin comprises a first portion coupled with the rack attachment to enter the attachment feature first and a second portion to enter the attachment feature second, wherein the second portion is to couple the rack attachment via a square opening of the attachment feature.17.
