Installation

1. Make sure that the front and rear frames are right side up. The

bottom of the frame has holes for the floor mounting brackets

and casters. Make sure that the pictured end is at the bottom.

2. Attach the arms to the frames. Separate your arms into pairs

(consisting of one wide and one narrow arm per pair).You will

have four pairs of arms, two for each side of the rack. The narrow

arms that connect the bottom of the frames can be identified by

the pre-mounted cage nuts on the inside of the arms.

NOTE: When installing the arms, it might be easiest to start with

the top arms for stability reasons.

3. For the top arms, snap the cage nuts into the back (inside) of the

narrow arms. It is recommended that you install several cage nuts

on each arm. The cage nuts are easier to install when the rack is

not fully assembled.You should install more cage nuts than may be

necessary in case you change the depth of the rack in the future.

4. Determine the desired depth of your rack. Using two screws,

attach one of the arms to the holes on the inside of the frame.

Attach the other arm to the other side of the frame, making sure

that the wider arm is on the outside of the narrow arm. Secure the

two arms together using the provided screws.

NOTE: For stability, StarTech.com recommends that you have use at

least two screws to secure the rack arms.

5. Attach the floor mounting brackets (the L-shaped brackets) to the

bottom of the frames. Using the included hex key, install the hex

socket screws. Install 4 screws per bracket.

6. Place the floor plates over the bottom of the rack. One floor plate

has only one “flap” along the side.You can overlap this floor plate

over the other when necessary. Secure the floor plates to the rack

from the top.
