Product Information

Full details

This 12U server rack cabinet is designed for IT professionals, small businesses, and home users needing to securely house 19" rack-mount equipment like servers, network, and A/V devices. Its key benefit is providing a secure, organized, and mobile storage solution with ample space for equipment and cable management. A potential caveat is its 450 kg weight capacity, which may be limiting for very dense deployments.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of this rack?

The rack supports a total load capacity of 450 kg (992 lb).

Can I use equipment deeper than 30.7 inches?

The maximum adjustable mounting depth is 30.7 inches (780 mm). Equipment requiring more depth may not be compatible or may overhang.

Does the rack come with power distribution units (PDUs) or fans?

No, this model does not include built-in fans or PDUs. It relies on passive cooling through its mesh doors. PDUs and fans can be purchased separately and mounted within the rack.

How do I assemble the rack?

The rack ships fully assembled. You only need to install your equipment and any accessories.

Are the mounting rails compatible with all rack-mount equipment?

The rack is compatible with standard 19" rack-mount equipment that adheres to EIA-310-E standards. Ensure your equipment's width and depth are within the adjustable rail limits.

What is the warranty period?

This product is backed by a 5-year warranty.

Can the rack be secured to the floor?

While the rack includes casters for mobility, it does not come with built-in floor anchoring kits. Floor mounting would require separate hardware appropriate for your flooring type.

Troubleshooting

Rack is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure all equipment is securely mounted. Lock the caster wheels if the rack is in its final position. Verify the rack is on a level surface.

Server/device does not fit the mounting rails.

Confirm the equipment is 19" rack-mountable. Adjust the depth of the mounting rails to accommodate the equipment's dimensions. Ensure you are using the correct mounting holes.

Doors are difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions. Ensure the rack is not leaning and that the doors are properly aligned. Verify the locking mechanism is not binding.

Cabling is disorganized.

Utilize the included hook-and-loop ties to bundle cables. Use the covered pass-through holes for routing. Plan cable runs to minimize slack and tangles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This server rack ships fully assembled, significantly reducing setup time.

  4. Install 1U Shelf: Mount the included 1U shelf for any non-rack-mountable equipment.
  5. Grounding: Connect grounding lugs to your equipment for electrical protection.
  6. Doors: Attach and set the direction of the reversible front and rear doors. Ensure locks are functional.
  7. Casters: Confirm casters are securely attached and lock them if needed to prevent movement.

  • Standards: Complies with EIA-310-E and EIA/ECA-310-E standards.
  • Dimensions: Fits through standard doorways.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the mesh doors are not blocked to maintain passive cooling. Periodically check for dust buildup and clean as necessary.
  • Security: Regularly check that door locks are functioning correctly. Ensure equipment is securely fastened to the rails.
