Some brackets
Most drive trays should support mounting the 2.5" drive in a way that it can still mate with the sata board in the back. If not, you may either need a special replacement tray or an adapter for you existing tray.
The biggest thing is the sata connectors lining up so that when put into the server they actually connect into the sata port.
Do some research on Google about your server model and you should be able to figure out what you need in short order.
Cheers!
The server model is Dell CS24-SC, a post in WHT says that nothing is needed and 2.5inch drives can be mounted fine on the existing trays but wasn't able to find anything else.
or even using the Dell Poweredge 1950 III, I have a second server that is Dell Poweredge 1950 III
I have a few Poweredge 1950's, both II and III. One of them has an SSD, you just need the 2.5" to 3.5" bracket converter and they will fit well into the HDD hot-swap brackets they come with.
@zafouhar Dell CS24-SC does not need a bracket. It will install directly to the drive tray.
Better something like this:
What's wrong with double sided sticky foam pads?
Duct tape duh
That's what I use for my PC.

double sided tape better, haha! On serious note the 3.5 brackets are available.
Most SSDs are light. Pushing them into the SATA/Power sockets should be enough to hold them in without any brackets.
What @joodle said should work though, one of the cheaper options too.
I'll admit I have an old 60gb ssd that is velcro'd to the inside of my PC case.
This is what you want:

They work great, we have used hundreds of them
How well does it fit and function in a Supermicro hot swap tray?
Works perfectly, also with the SATA interface adapter it ensures everything lines up properly.
Good to know. I was also looking at this http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-3-5-Inch-2-5-Inch-Internal-BK-HDCC/dp/B015MSJ1DG/ as a substitute for http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5278922 for use in SC-512 chassis since the Supermicro accessory is a hard fit on the side with the header cable
Guys as @qps confirmed the Dell CS24-SC installs directly without any other gear needed - we've tested this and all went well. Thanks @qps
Nothing else. SSD isn't like HDD.
In my own PC I did't mount my SSD by screws.
I remember buying different brands of ssds and they all came with bracket. I didnt need the bracket as they can be bolted on with screws fine.
i personally use these and work verry good http://www.ebay.com/itm/301803743553?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
