How to install Claytek 15U 1100mm Adjustable Open Frame Server Rack with 1U Heavy Duty Shelf

• Unpack and inspect all components to confirm you have the 4-post frame, rails, hardware, and the 1U shelf. If any pieces are missing or damaged, contact the supplier before proceeding.
• Choose a stable, level mounting location with adequate ventilation and access to power sources and cabling. Ensure the floor can support the combined weight of the rack and equipment.
• Install the vertical mounting rails or the necessary rail kit according to your equipment’s depth needs. Use the included mounting screws and spacers to secure the rails firmly to the frame, ensuring alignment with standard 19" dimensions.
• Mount your 19" equipment one unit at a time, aligning each device with the vertical rails. Tighten screws evenly to avoid warping and ensure proper grounding where applicable. For devices with rear clearance considerations, adjust the rack depth to the desired setting before mounting.
• Place the 1U heavy-duty shelf in the designated location and secure it to the frame. Use the shelf to house non-rack devices, tools, or accessories, then route cables neatly along the rails with appropriate ties or management accessories to preserve airflow and accessibility.
