1. A rail mounting assembly for supporting a pair of electrical components on a case of a server, the rail mounting assembly comprising:
a first mounting structure for receiving a first side of a first electrical component of the pair of electrical components, the first mounting structure being configured to allow electrical coupling between the first electrical component and a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted to the server;
a second mounting structure for receiving a first side of a second electrical component of the pair of electrical components, the second mounting structure being configured to allow electrical coupling between the second electrical component and the PCB; and
a single rail fixed between the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure, the single rail being parallel to the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure, the single rail having an I-shaped cross-section that includes
an elongated body having a top member, a bottom member, and a middle member connecting the top member and the bottom member,
a first groove formed at a first side of the middle member between the top member and the bottom member, the first groove being configured to receive a second side of the first electrical component when the first side of the first electrical component is received by the first mounting structure, wherein the first side and the second side of the first electrical component are parallel, the second side of the first electrical component being an opposite side of the first side of the first electrical component, and
a second groove formed at a second side of the middle member between the top member and the bottom member, the second side of the middle member being an opposite side of the first side of the middle member, the second groove being configured to receive a second side of the second electrical component when the first side of the second electrical component is received by the second mounting structure, wherein the first side and the second side of the second electrical component are parallel, the second side of the second electrical component being an opposite side of the first side of the second electrical component.
