Questions & Answers

How far does the mounting post distance between the two ?

A 19-inch screen

Are the wheels on the rack necessary? Can they be bolted to the ground instead of the wheels?

You can bolt the 2POSTRACK42 to the ground with no wheels. There is no hardware included with the rack that allows you to accomplish this. I'm Atha, a StarTech employee. Please visit our Support page

Can this be used with music equipment such as rackmount synthesizers?

You should be able to use it as long as your gear is 19' wide and uses industry standard U mounting. The shorter racks (often two posts instead of four) have been used by others for that kind of application.

How are the various options different from each other? The 8U is larger than the 12U. Having an adell power connect 2848 that uses a desktop tack is impossible. ?

This is a measure of available vertical capacity within a rack that is called a Rack Unit. Hence, the 8U model can safely accommodate equipment up to 8U in size. If you purchased the 12U Dell PowerConnect 2848, there would still be 7U unused (or 11U if the Dell PowerConnect 2848 is 1U).

The rack is solid and of nice quality

5/5

There is no doubt about it, this thing is solid. There is a great deal of redundant reinforcement, which means that the building is more than rock-solid When assembled, it forms a solid frame. The solidity of the product really stands out to me. I look at all the hardware and it appears to be very well made. There are a bunch of stout casters with rubberized bottoms, so there won't be any scratches on I like how the rack was packed in such a way that it arrived free of dents and bends. There's only one negative thing I can say I don't read the instructions I have the bad habit of not reading directions anyway, so I can't really make any major complaints. Despite my difficulties with the instructions, I'm still pleased with the quality of construction, even if the instructions are a bit confusing. tossed them out, things started moving Although I noticed some people complaining about the quantity of cage nuts and bolts included, I would not expect a product like this to include mounting hardware, so I found it nice that the product included them.

Step The instructions are worthless! Throw them out on top of everything else! I must say, however, that I found the instructions to be nothing more than unhelpful, and that even the pictures were somewhat Start by unwrapping the parts and staring at them. After that, try to put things together using your best judgment. Since it's hard to screw it up,) it's impossible. As a result, it might be a good idea to put aside the cage nuts/bolts, so you won't be tempted to use them while assembling. In the instructions for installing allen-wheels, it states that a certain number must be used to secure them, yet I noticed that There were exactly two-thirds of that number of bolts included, and a bag of phillips-head bolts as well. I think it's worth mentioning, though it's not a big deal There seems to have been a shortage of allen wrenches at the warehouse - For what it's worth, they just gave me another type of bolt to make up for its lack. Everything I needed was provided to me, so I am satisfied. Approximately four people were in a group and complained of the following Aside from the vertical rails and the support angles, there are also extra holes on the legs, and the instructions do not specify which There's a situation like this twice per leg during assembly, and unless I'm mistaken, the holes in the forward direction There is no way the rails, if they are not lined up with the supports, could line up. TIG

When everything has been assembled, check all the bolts and tighten everything up several times.

It is very well made

5/5

I am using this rack for a VHF repeater system, and it is rugged and heavy-duty. As a result, everything went together smoothly accessing some of the holes was a bit tricky since I don't have small hands, but I got it ready in no time. One thing to observe is that the spacing of the front and rear mounting rails is not standard, in other words, not all shelving fits If/when I need another rack, I will definitely buy this one again, it is very well made, heavy duty, and would recommend it.

You can get two posts by buying this! You can't go wrong with this rack if you need a two post rack

5/5

It was a bit of a pain to install the insidemost bolts, but otherwise the installation went smoothly. The synthesizers and audio gears are the main things I use mine for. In addition to the shelves to hold two PCs and a laser printer, I also purchased some heavy duty shelves. I am pleased with the.

This is a heavy duty product

5/5

Heavy duty without a doubt. The weight is a little difficult to push, but it's not impossible. As the wheels add quite a bit of height, factor this into the door clearance.

I like beef! It works great on wheels, at least I thought so

5/5

I like beef! I was surprised at how well it works on wheels. A ton of weight was loaded on top of it. That rack is a doozie. The wheels were removed from one and it was bolted to the floor. I will be ordering more of these.
