How to install OBRK20

• Choose a solid, level location with adequate space for ventilation and cable management. Ensure the floor can support the combined weight of the rack and gear (up to 200 lb).
• Unpack the OBRK20 carefully and inspect for any shipping damage. Verify that all mounting rails, screws, and accessories are present according to the included hardware list.
• Position the rack in its designated spot with access to power outlets and connectivity to other AV equipment. If mounting to a wall or floor enclosure, follow reinforced mounting guidelines to ensure stability.
• Install the 19" rack rails inside the cabinet according to the manufacturer’s spacing for your equipment. Secure rails firmly to support weight and prevent rack rails from shifting during cable management.
• Mount equipment in the rack using standard 19" rack screws. Start from the bottom to maintain a low center of gravity, and use cage nuts as needed for equipment with threaded holes. Thread cables neatly to avoid pinching and to promote airflow.
• Utilize any adjustable shelves or optional accessories to optimize space utilization. Plan cable routing with labeled patches and routed paths to simplify future maintenance and upgrades.
• Close doors (if included) and verify that airflow is not obstructed. Check for any clearance issues and ensure that the weight remains evenly distributed to minimize sway or instability.
