What type of cleaning is recommended for the rack?

Use a soft, dry cloth to dust. Avoid abrasive or liquid cleaners that could damage the paint or components.

Can I pair two CFR2144 racks?

Yes, remove the side panels from the sides to be joined, align the racks at the same level, and install the provided pairing clamps into the chassis slots.

Does the rack require special ventilation?

It is recommended to install a fan (sold separately) to prevent overheating. The internal temperature should not exceed 40°C (104°F).

How to secure equipment to prevent it from moving?
