WARNING! To prevent bodily injury, please ensure that the rack is installed in a structurally sound environment with a level floor and that all hardware has been assembled securely, and checked for stability before loading equipment. When installing equipment into the rack, start from the bottom of the rack first and move upwards, keeping the heaviest equipment at the bottom to avoid a situation where the rack becomes top-heavy.

Introduction

The StarRack cabinet is a high quality, lockable, secure and dust-reduced environment for rackmount servers and network equipment. This sturdy, spacesaving unit is made from extruded aluminum for an appealing appearance. A standard lockable smoked plexiglass see-through front door and solid aluminum rear door provides quick access to equipment. The internal front and rear mounting rails are completely depth adjustable to fit virtually any piece of equipment. A standard roof-mounted triple motor AC fan unit and high-flow air filter below the rear door provide up to 300 CFM of bottom to top air flow through the cabinet, removing the heat produced by the enclosed equipment. In addition to the standard equipment that are options on most other cabinets, the StarRack cabinet also has a full compliment of optional accessories like fixed shelving, storage drawers, keyboard drawers, front panel spacer plates and slide-out shelves.

Installation

Although the StarRack cabinet itself comes fully assembled, you may have purchased accessory products that require some installation and assembly.

Posts

Depending on the size of the device you are mounting or the type of mounting brackets that are used, you may want to move the posts forward or back, or replace the cabinets posts. To do this, simply remove the front and back posts from the fixed rails by removing the screws which secure them to the rails. Move the nuts to the location where you would like the post to go. Align the holes on the posts with the nuts and secure the posts to the rails.

Fixed

This type of shelf is secured to the front of the cabinet rails and does not move. For short shelves simply screw the shelves into place to the front posts of the cabinet. For deeper ones, determine the desired height that you want to install the shelf at. Slide the nuts to the desired location so that they line up with the holes in the shelf and fasten the shelf's brackets with the provided screws to the front of the post.

Sliding

Determine the desired height that you want to install the shelf at. Slide the nuts to the desired location so that they line up with the holes on the shelf's mounting bracket. You will want the slide rail apart in order to access the holes properly. To do this open the rail and push the black lever up. Holding the level up, pull the two pieces of the rail apart. Using the screws provided screw to the mounting brackets to the front and rear posts. The front of the shelf's brackets should be fit snugly against the front of the post.

Doors

There are 2 doors on each cabinet. Both the front and rear doors are removable. To remove them, pull down the top tab while holding the door with the other hand. The top should fall out of place. Pull up on the bottom tab and lift door out of the frame. The same method can be applied to the rear door.

There maybe times when you would like the door to open to the other side. The front door can be changed to open to the other side. Remove the door and turn it so that the handle is on the other side. Insert the pegs into the holes and close the door.

Stabilizer Feet

Though each cabinet is equipped with wheels for easy movement, there may be times when you would prefer that the cabinet not be mobile. There are two adjustable legs on the back of the cabinet. To lower them use a wrench and turn them until the legs are lowered enough that the wheels are slightly off the ground.

Front Legs

There are two leveler legs on the front of the cabinet. We suggest that they be used to ensure that the cabinet does not tip forward when a heavy drawer is pulled out. To do this, grab the end of the legs and pull them towards you.

Air filter

At times you may find that the filter can get quite dirty. To clean it, unscrew the filter from the cabinet. Wash the filter with soap and water. Rinse well and set it aside to dry. When the foam is dry, return it to its original position in the cabinet.
