What does
the rails for a TU56 look like? I could not find any
holes on the sides, are they simply screwed in place with the
holes behind the flip-front?

My recollection is that you do just bolt the drive to the rack,
no rails.
Yes...Release the two top latches on the front panel, swing it
down, and bolt the front chassis ears to the rack.

That is how my TU56 is hung in the H960 rack. You need help to
mount the TU56. I did it alone, and remember that is was heavy
to do on my own, hanging the TU56 in the 5th 10.5" position,
counting from the bottom :-)
