How to use

Position the freestanding rack on a flat, stable surface and use the adjustable feet to level the enclosure correctly.

Adjust the internal 19-inch profile rails to the required depth for your specific devices, and secure the equipment using appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure proper airflow by utilizing the perforated door and consider installing a compatible fan module in the roof chassis if active cooling is needed. Secure the removable side panels and lock the front door once installation is complete.
