A rack system comprising:

• a rack-supporting frame comprising a left vertical support unit and a right vertical support unit laterally spaced apart from one another;
• a data center rack positioned between the left vertical support unit and the right vertical support unit, the data center rack having a front side and a rear side opposite the front side;
• at least one front attachment member connected to the data center rack on the front side thereof,
• part of one of the at least one front attachment member extending leftward from a left end of the data center rack and being connected to the left vertical support unit,
• part of one of the at least one front attachment member extending rightward from a right end of the data center rack and being connected to the right vertical support unit;
• and
• at least one rear attachment member connected to the data center rack on the rear side thereof,
• part of one the at least one rear attachment member extending leftward from the left end of the data center rack and being connected to the left vertical support unit,
• part of one of the at least one rear attachment member extending rightward from the right end of the data center rack and being connected to the right vertical support unit,
• the at least one front attachment member comprising a hook portion abutting a surface of a corresponding one of the left and right vertical support units to set a lateral position of the data center rack between the left and right vertical support units.

A data center rack comprising:

• a front side and a rear side spaced apart in a depth direction of the data center rack;
• a plurality of attachment members for connecting the data center rack to a rack-supporting frame, each attachment member of the plurality of attachment members comprising:
• a rack attachment portion connected to the data center rack;
• a frame attachment portion configured to be connected to a corresponding one of a left vertical support unit and a right vertical support unit of the rack-supporting frame;
• and
• a hook portion configured to abut a surface of the corresponding one of the left and right vertical support units to set a lateral position of the data center rack between the left and right vertical support units.
