FAQs
Installation starts with selecting a level, stable floor footprint and attaching the 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles to the enclosure frame at both front and rear. Use the supplied screws and conductive fasteners to ground the cabinet, then align the 19" equipment with the mounting rails. The rear door and roof plate include cable entry options for efficient routing. For best results, plan airflow paths to maximize passive cooling and minimize hot spots near cooling outlets.
Yes. The enclosure uses standard 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles, front and rear, and provides 47 U of mounting space within a 600 mm wide frame. It accommodates typical IT hardware such as servers, switches, and storage units.
