How to Install StarTech.com 2-Post 9U Heavy-Duty Wall-Mount Network Rack

  • Plan the installation location carefully. Choose a solid wall with accessible electrical outlets and adequate ventilation. Confirm stud locations and ensure the wall can bear the combined weight of the rack and equipment.
  • Gather mounting hardware and tools. Use the hardware provided with the rack for wall-fastening, including screws/anchors suitable for your wall type and sturdy anchors if mounting to drywall alone. Have a drill, level, stud finder, and a screwdriver ready for precise placement.
  • Mark mounting points. With the rack in place, mark where the wall-mount brackets will anchor to studs or solid wall sections. Use a spirit level to ensure the mounting surface will be perfectly horizontal, preventing tilt or misalignment.
  • Attach wall brackets or rails. Secure the brackets or rails to the wall at the marked points, ensuring they are firmly anchored to studs or structural members. Tighten all hardware to the recommended torque to maintain rigidity and safety.
  • Mount the rack to the wall. Carefully lift the rack and align it with the installed brackets. Secure the rack to the brackets using the supplied hardware, verifying that the assembly is level and securely attached to the wall.
  • Install equipment and manage cables. Attach your 19" devices to the rails, starting with heavier items toward the bottom to lower the center of gravity. Route power cables and network cables neatly, using cable ties and cable management accessories to maintain airflow and easy access for maintenance.
  • Verify accessibility and airflow. Confirm that all devices are securely mounted, easy to reach, and that there is unobstructed airflow around components. Make any final adjustments to rail positions or device spacing as needed.
