executable result; Don't expect perfection or much help

This is the first post I've seen that doesn't fit everyone U had a number on the outside.But considering the price it's amazing how flexible the width settings are - you can only use this with network gear or real full size rack servers.Although I write below this solves this problem. While the rack is still empty I gather while preparing the wires etc. As this is an empty rack it is not very strong - the rack comes out of the "plumb" position with almost a look, and I hope this gets fixed once I put the first few blocks in the rack.For my purpose I don't have anything that requires rails so I'm worried about the stability issue.If you put rails in vol Larger in size, you should get more stability after installing and weighting down the first pair of blocks. Montage is the best Chinese style. Poor photocopy not showing important details (I tried with a magnifying glass to see where the side rails should be installed, but I had to look at other people's photos to confirm my thoughts; side rails (adjustable rails) need to be fitted on hole from the edge, not all the way down/up). My box arrived in a shape that told me it had been in that box at the warehouse for a VERY long time. Many rails were taken out of protective bags, screws were everywhere (and one M6x20 is missing), but I didn't see any scratches. Another thing is to know what comes from which side, in which direction to put each parenthesis. Lots of trial and error. The mounting holes appear to be oversized, which explains the wobble when reassembling. The final note is the cable routing. I don't see many options, but I'm still looking for solutions to run the power bus sideways and run Category 6 cabling between patch panels etc. I wish there was an option for wheels. Most of my equipment is network equipment so it would be nice to be able to move the rack to the side.

Pros
  • Fits standard 19" wide units. INSTALLATION 22" - 34" deep (post to post)
Cons
  • Doubtful
