WARNING! To prevent bodily injury, please ensure that the rack is installed in a
structurally sound environment with a level oor and that all hardware has been
assembled securely, and checked for stability before loading equipment. When
installing equipment into the rack, start from the bottom of the rack rst and move
upwards, keeping the heaviest equipment at the bottom to avoid a situation where the
rack becomes top-heavy.
Introduction
The Rack is a high quality, lockable, secure and dust-reduced environment for
rackmount servers and network equipment. This sturdy, spacesaving unit is made
from extruded aluminum for an appealing appearance. A standard lockable smoked
plexiglass see-through front door and solid aluminum rear door provides quick
access to equipment. The internal front and rear mounting rails are completely depth
adjustable to t virtually any piece of equipment. A standard roof-mounted triple
motor AC fan unit and high-ow air lter below the rear door provide up to 300 CFM
of bottom to top air ow through the cabinet, removing the heat produced by the
enclosed equipment. In addition to the standard equipment that are options on most
other cabinets, the Rack also has a full compliment of optional accessories like xed
shelving, storage drawers, keyboard drawers, front panel spacer plates and slide-out
shelves.

Stabilizer Feet
Though each cabinet is equipped with wheels for easy movement, there may be times
when you would prefer that the cabinet not be mobile. There are two adjustable legs
on the back of the cabinet. To lower them use a wrench and turn them until the legs
are lowered enough that the wheels are slightly o the ground.

Front Legs
There are two leveler legs on the front of the cabinet. We suggest that they be used to

this, grab the end of the legs and pull them towards you.
