Which part of this is a "rack"?

the whole thing?

Which part do I mount one of these 10" rack-mount switches[1] to?

Any of it. TFA references https://loganmarchione.com/2025/09/homelab-10-mini-rack-v2/ which uses standard 10" shelves.

I think the issue is that these arent close to rack specification. So its a rack in that its a set of shelves, but its not a Rack as the technology industry would define it.
