FAQs

What is the total weight capacity of the SRK21?

The Samson SRK21 has a maximum static weight capacity of 204 kg (450 lbs) and a maximum rolling weight capacity of 136 kg (300 lbs).

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?

Yes, the Samson SRK21 requires assembly. Instructions and necessary hardware are typically included.

What are the external dimensions of the SRK21?

The external dimensions are approximately 506.9 mm (Width) x 459.9 mm (Depth) x 1100 mm (Height).

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Assembly of the SRK21 involves constructing the frame and attaching the casters and side panels. The unique steel support bar requires adjustment to match either US or European thread sizes before inserting rack-mount equipment. Ensure all screws are tightened securely during assembly.

Compatibility:

  • Rack Size: Designed for standard 19-inch rack-mountable equipment.
  • Thread Sizes: Compatible with both US (e.g., 10-32) and European (e.g., M6) thread standards. Both sets of screws are typically included.
  • Weight Capacity: Maximum static load of 204 kg (450 lbs). Maximum rolling load capacity is 136 kg (300 lbs). Distribute weight evenly.

Care:

  • Clean the steel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check that all screws and caster locks are secure.
  • Ensure the perforated side panels are free of dust and obstructions to maintain passive ventilation.
  • Do not exceed the specified weight capacities.
