Still need to get a decent UPS or two, but after having dropped a fair bit of cash on the R720xd and 2 replacement motherboards, it's going to have to wait a bit.
Edit: Not shown, Ubiquiti UAP-AC-HD in the living room and a Dell PowerEdge R710 with 2x Xeon L5520s and no RAM, probably going to sell it to a friend.
Edit 2: Rack is a StarTech 22U, got it from my old job at a discount because the glass door was shattered on arrival. I just need to get a replacement or another vented door.
Unfortunately that rack is geared towards network equipment, like a patch panel and some switches. You need to watch the depth of the gear - that rack supports 17" depth, rack-mount servers are typically 25-30" deep. Server racks are often about 36" deep, like this one
Assuming you had a full-depth rack, basically you install the rails first by clipping them into the front and back mounting points (get a rack with square holes instead of round holes for servers, you can always use cage-nuts to convert a square hole to a round hole, but you can't convert round holes to squares). Once the rails clipped in and secure, you slide the inner rails out and drop the server in, so the mounting tabs on the side of the server fit into the notches on the rails. Then you slide the server back in
Example rails, you can see some of the notches cut out that fit the tabs sticking out the side of the server
