    Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, a rack equipment mount with a self-locating/self-adjusting rear fastener mechanism is disclosed. The equipment mount can have a first rail and a second rail securable horizontally in a rack system, wherein self-locating fasteners or receivers can be slidably connected to the rails. Rack mountable equipment to be inserted into the rack can have a mating fastener attached to the rear of its chassis and the self locating fasteners can engage with the mating fasteners as the chassis is slid into the rack. The self-locating fastener can be spring loaded in a forward position and slide along the rail to self-locate at the appropriate depth when a chassis is inserted into the rack. The self-locating fasteners allow equipment chassis of varying depths to be installed into a rack and easily secured at the rear of the rack.
