iStarUSA WM Series Wall-mount Server Cabinet
The iStarUSA WM Series Wall-mount Server Cabinet is purpose-built for compact spaces without compromising protection for your IT gear. With easy side panel access, it makes routine maintenance and upgrades effortless, even in tight closets, data rooms, or small offices. Designed for flexible data and cable routing, this cabinet accommodates everyday 19-inch rack equipment while prioritizing cooling efficiency and clean cable management. If you’re deploying a home lab, branch office, or space-constrained data closet, the WM Series delivers a robust, space-saving enclosure that keeps servers, switches, and storage organized, secure, and easily serviceable.
Expect a thoughtful combination of accessibility, airflow, and durability. The WM Series is engineered to help you minimize downtime, simplify installation, and maintain a neat, professional IT environment. Its partially vented frame and strategic cable routing options are optimized to promote airflow where it matters most, reducing heat buildup and promoting quieter operation. Built to endure the rigors of daily IT work, this wall-mount cabinet provides a reliable home for your critical equipment while preserving valuable floor space.
- The WM Series features easy side panel access that simplifies maintenance and upgrades. Panels detach and swing away, giving technicians direct, unobstructed views of racks and internal components without disassembling the cabinet. This design minimizes downtime during drive swaps, fan replacements, or component upgrades, making it ideal for high-availability environments where every minute counts.
- Three cabling tunnels—top, bottom, and rear—offer versatile data and power routing. This flexible cable management system keeps bundles organized, reduces turbulence inside the enclosure, and improves overall airflow. With dedicated pathways for different cable types, you can install VoIP phones, switches, KVMs, and storage adapters with less clutter and easier service access.
- Optimal cooling design with partially vented frames supports efficient thermal management. By allowing cool air to reach front-mounted equipment and exhaust warm air through well-placed vents, the cabinet helps maintain stable operating temperatures. This reduces fan noise, extends hardware longevity, and helps maintain consistent performance in densely populated racks.
- Durable construction and a professional finish provide lasting protection for valuable equipment. Built from sturdy steel with a powder-coated exterior, the WM Series resists everyday wear, scratches, and corrosion in office IT rooms, data closets, or lab environments. The rugged enclosure keeps servers and networking gear safe from dust, accidental bumps, and tampering while preserving a clean, professional appearance.
- Space-saving, versatile compatibility makes the WM Series suitable for a wide range of equipment. Its wall-mount design frees floor space while supporting standard 19-inch rack gear, including servers, switches, patch panels, UPS units, and storage devices. With multiple depth options and configurations across the WM Series, you can tailor the enclosure to your exact needs and room constraints.

How to Install iStarUSA WM Series Wall-mount Server Cabinet
Installing the WM Series cabinet is a straightforward process designed for secure mounting and easy integration with your equipment. Ensure you have the appropriate wall anchors, mounting rails, and screws compatible with the wall surface and the cabinet’s weight rating. Gather standard 19" rack screws and washers, a screwdriver, a level, and a tape measure to ensure precise alignment. The following steps outline a typical installation workflow for a WM Series wall-mount cabinet:
- Plan and prepare: Select a location with solid wall support and space for ventilation. Check that the wall surface can bear the combined weight of the empty cabinet plus equipment. Mark stud locations or use appropriate anchors as required by the wall type.
- Mount the cabinet frame: With the cabinet oriented correctly, secure the mounting rails to the wall following the model’s instructions. Use a level to ensure the cabinet is plumb and square, and verify that mounting points align with the wall studs or anchors for maximum stability.
- Install rails and back support: Attach adjustable 19" rack rails inside the cabinet according to the depth and equipment you plan to install. Ensure rails are level and fully seated to support the weight of mounted devices as you populate the enclosure.
- Mount equipment phases: Begin with the heaviest equipment first, such as servers or storage blades, and secure each unit with standard rack screws. Leave adequate clearance for airflow around each device and for easy removal if maintenance is needed.
- Route cables and finalize: Use the top, bottom, and rear tunnels to route data, power, and peripheral cables. Keep cables tidy and labeled to simplify future servicing, then close the side panels and test the door operation and cooling performance.
