• With a generous 20-inch depth, this shelf accommodates a wide array of devices—from full-height servers to network appliances and storage controllers—while leaving room behind equipment for clean cable routing and improved airflow. This depth also helps minimize protrusion that could impede adjacent equipment in densely populated racks.
• Constructed from solid steel and finished with a durable coating, the shelf delivers rugged reliability in demanding IT environments. The solid platform minimizes flex and sag, ensuring equipment sits securely and evenly, which helps preserve connector alignment, reduce wear, and extend the life of your gear.
• Installation is streamlined by standard 19-inch mounting rails and a straightforward mounting process. The center-mount configuration allows precise positioning within the rack, making it easier to align equipment with cable paths and cooling zones. This design also simplifies future reorganizations or additions to your rack inventory.
• Designed for long-term versatility, this Rocstor shelf supports scalable IT infrastructure and helps IT teams manage growth with modular, adaptable storage.

How to install Rocstor 2U Server Cantilever Deep Center Rack Shelf

To install, begin by locating the center of your 2-post rack and preparing the rack with the standard 19-inch mounting rails. Align the Rocstor shelf’s mounting brackets with the rack’s square holes, ensuring the shelf sits level and centered. Secure the brackets firmly using the included hardware, tightening evenly to avoid warping or misalignment. Slide the shelf into the rack until it rests on the cantilever supports, then fasten any front-facing screws to lock it in place. With the shelf secured, load equipment starting from the bottom to maintain a stable center of gravity, and route cables along the rear to prevent tangling and to maximize airflow. Finally, perform a light check for stability, confirm that all equipment is firmly seated, and verify that cables have adequate slack for maintenance and access. This process minimizes downtime and ensures a clean, organized rack environment that supports efficient cooling and cable management.
