  • The Professional Series have two (2) types of (A&B) mounting rails one set with square mounting holes and one with 10-32 pre - threaded holes. The mounting rails (A&B) are labeled in EIA standard rack space increments allowing for easy equipment alignment.
    a) Insert the supplied snap nuts (I) by pressing on either side of the nut, then insert the clamp side into the square hole, and release into the four (4) mounting rails (A&B) where the equipment is to be mounted. When completed screw down the equipment with M6x12mm bolts (H).
    b) If the equipment has mounting with hooks, just hook the bracket into position for any equipment that has mounting brackets with hooks. c) The mounting rails (A&B) with pre-threaded 10-32 holes just screw equipment directly into desired position.
  • The Professional Series Racks are equipped with locking heavy duty casters (D) to easily move the rack. There are four (4) adjustable locking feet (C) on the base of the rack, use a wrench to adjust the feet until the legs are lowered enough that the wheels are slightly off the ground and lock with nut to base. Also they ensure that the rack does not tip forward when a heavy drawer is pulled out. (CAUTION - feet may damage flooring if rack is moved when loaded with equipment)
  • Determine the type of optional shelves - Fixed or Sliding
    a) Fixed Shelves - secured to the mounting rails (A&B) using supplied M6x12mm bolts (H) & M6 snap nuts (I).
    Short shelves
    use M6x12mm bolts (H) to attach into place to the front mounting rails (A&B) of the rack.
    Deeper shelves determine the desired height that you want to install the shelf at, then slide the M6 snap nuts (I) into the desired location so that they line up with the holes in the shelf and fasten the shelf with the provided M6x12mm bolts (H) and M6 snap nuts (I) to the front of the mounting rails (A&B).
    b) Sliding Shelves - Determine the desired height to install the shelf then slide the M6 snap nuts (I) to the desired location so that they line up with the holes on the mounting rails (A&B) use M6x12mm bolts
    (H).
    CAUTION:
    To avoid damage to your components due to overheating, ensure that there is adequate space between each unit for proper airflow. It is important to maintain an operating temperature inside of the rack that does not exceed 104°F (40°C).
  • Attach the 1U Power Strip (6) at desired location using supplied M6x12mm bolts (H) and M6 snap nuts (I). Plug power strip’s A/C cord into A/C outlet.
