Does the SRK21 come with screws for mounting equipment?
Yes, the SRK21 includes screws compatible with both US and European thread sizes.
How do I switch between US and European thread sizes?
The rack features a unique steel support bar design that can be adjusted or reconfigured to accept either US or European thread sizes. Refer to the assembly manual for specific instructions on adjusting this bar.
Is assembly required for the SRK21?

How does the passive cooling work?
The side panels have perforations that allow for natural airflow, helping to dissipate heat from the equipment housed within the rack. For high-heat generating gear, additional airflow management might be necessary.
Can I remove the casters if I don't need them?
> Info needed: Confirm if casters are removable and if a configuration without casters is supported with a different weight capacity.
Troubleshooting
Rack is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Verify that the rack is on a level surface. Check that the casters are properly seated and locked.
Equipment screws do not fit.
Confirm the steel support bar is configured for the correct thread type (US or European). Ensure you are using the correct set of screws provided for your region.
Casters are difficult to lock or unlock.
Check for any debris obstructing the caster mechanism. Gently rotate the caster while attempting to lock or unlock.
Rack is tilting under load.
Verify that the weight is evenly distributed across all rack spaces. Ensure the total weight does not exceed the maximum static weight capacity of 204 kg.
