StarTech RK619WALLOH 6U Hinged 4-Post Wall-Mount Open Frame Rack

The StarTech RK619WALLOH 6U Hinged Wall-Mount Rack is a compact, highly adaptable solution designed for IT closets, classrooms, cabinets, and edge environments where space is at a premium. This 19" open frame server rack offers a robust, four-post design that enables secure installation of your 19" IT equipment while keeping everything within easy reach for quick maintenance. The hinged frame is a standout feature, allowing the entire rack to swing open for effortless access to swappable hardware, cables, and patch panels—so you can install, upgrade, or troubleshoot without wrestling with tangled cables or removing gear from the rack. Built to meet government procurement requirements, this TAA-compliant rack is engineered to deliver reliability in demanding environments, making it an ideal choice for small data centers, remote office deployments, schools, and on-site IT rooms where efficiency and uptime matter most.

• Space-saving wall-mount design: The 4-post, 19" wide rack hugs the wall to maximize usable floor space, making it perfect for tight IT rooms, classrooms, cabinet enclosures, and edge locations. With a compact footprint, you can mount critical networking gear, small servers, or A/V equipment without sacrificing valuable square footage, while still maintaining clear access to every device when needed.
• Hinged swing-out frame for easy installation and maintenance: The hinged design enables the entire frame to swing open, providing full, unobstructed access to all rails and mounted components. This makes cabling, device installation, and routine maintenance faster and cleaner, reducing downtime and lowering the risk of accidental unplugging or damage during service tasks.
• 4-post, 19" mounting rails for stable equipment support: The four rail posts provide solid support for 19" equipment and ensure consistent mounting tolerances across devices. This configuration helps maintain proper weight distribution and reduces the risk of gear shifting or twisting, which is especially beneficial for denser cable runs and multi-device installations in compact spaces.
• Ventilated open frame for airflow and heat management: With an open frame design, airflow is optimized around mounted devices, promoting cooler operation and helping to prevent heat buildup in small rooms. The increased ventilation supports more reliable performance from network switches, patch panels, small servers, and other hot-running devices often deployed in space-constrained environments.
• TAA-compliant construction for procurement flexibility: This rack meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it suitable for federal, state, and other regulated purchases. The TAA-compliant design ensures compatibility with a wide range of equipment and procurement channels, giving you peace of mind when sourcing IT infrastructure that aligns with compliance standards.

How to install StarTech RK619WALLOH

• Choose a sturdy wall surface and locate reliable mounting points. If possible, locate wall studs to maximize support for the rack and its payload.
• Position the RK619WALLOH against the wall and align the mounting holes with your chosen anchors or studs. Use the included hardware or manufacturer-approved fasteners to secure the frame firmly in place.
• Proceed to swing the shelf into its closed position. Open the hinged frame carefully to access the rails and mounting points for equipment installation.
• Install your 19" equipment onto the four mounting rails. Use standard 19" rack screws and cage nuts as needed, ensuring each device is securely fastened and electronics are evenly distributed to maintain balance.
• Route cables neatly along the open frame to minimize interference with the hinged mechanism and airflow. Close the frame when installation and cabling are complete, and test the swing action to confirm smooth operation and proper clearance around mounted devices.
• Perform a final check to verify device stability, cable management, and access to ports and labeling. Periodically inspect mounting hardware to ensure continued rigidity and safety for your IT equipment.
