Frequently Asked Questions - CFR2115 SANUS

What is the maximum load supported by the CFR2115 cabinet?

The CFR2115 cabinet can support up to 226.8 kg (500 lb) total. Each 2U shelf supports up to 22.6 kg (50 lb) and each 1U shelf up to 13.6 kg (30 lb).

How to install equipment to ensure stability?

Install equipment from bottom to top, starting with the heaviest components. 50% of the total weight must be in the lower third of the shelf. Do not exceed 20% load before tilting the shelf into vertical position.

How to secure equipment on the shelves?

Use the shelf stops (part 03) by inserting them into the rear slots, sliding forward, then rotating 90°. Also use the equipment straps (part 04) by passing them through the side slots and over the equipment.

How to reverse the door opening direction?

Remove the door by turning the top rod of the locking tab. Reverse the door handle by removing screws and bracket. Reinstall the door on the other side following reverse steps. Adjust the locking cam if necessary.

How to add a lock to the door?

Remove the side panel cover, then install the lock (sold separately) into the pre-cut hole. Follow the mounting instructions provided with the lock.

How to pair two CFR2115 shelves?

Remove the side panels on the sides to be joined. Place the shelves side by side ensuring they are level. Install four pairing clamps (GC) into the chassis slots and press firmly to secure.

How to adjust the feet to level the shelf?

Adjust the foot height by turning the nuts until the shelf is level. Tighten the nuts flush with the bottom of the shelf. Ensure the shelf is stable after adjustment.

How to install a cooling fan?

Remove the vented panel (watch for sharp edges), deburr any metal, then install the cooling fan using the pre-existing screws on top. Ensure good ventilation between devices.

How to manage cables in the shelf?

Use the removable rear panels to access the back of equipment. Route cables through the provided slots and use the included ties to keep them organized. Cable pass-throughs can be added if needed.

What are important safety precautions?

Never exceed the maximum load. Do not sit or climb on the shelf. Do not move it alone if loaded. Push slowly, do not pull. Lock doors and drawers before moving.
