Leveling the Server Rack
The Server Rack will need to be properly level prior to installing
any rack equipment, to ensure stability. The surface the Server
Rack is located on must also be a at, level surface in order
to support the combined weight of the Server Rack and rack
equipment installed.
1. Determine the location of the Server Rack. Use a Spirt/
Bubble Level to ensure that the location’s surface is a at,
level surface.

19
To view manuals, videos, drivers, downloads, technical drawings, and more visit www.startech.com/support
2. Using an 14 mm Open-Ended Wrench, lower the Leveling
Feet (4 located next to each Casters) by turning it clockwise
until the base of the Leveling Feet are tightly pressed
against the surface, supporting the weight of the Server
Rack.
Grounding the Enclosure
Note: This product must be grounded. Do not use this prod-
uct without an earth ground connection.
1. Use an M6 Screw to attach a grounding wire to the
grounding point on the Server Rack, located on the inside
of the bottom of the Front and Back Doors and inside the
Side Panels.
2. Route the wire under the frame of the enclosure and
connect the wire to your facility’s earth ground connection.
Installing Equipment
Note: When you load equipment into this product, load
the heaviest equipment in the bottom rails rst. Continue
loading equipment in a descending order of weight, so that
the lighter equipment is installed in the upper sections of the
enclosure and the heavier items are on the bottom.
This Server Rack comes with M6 Cage Nuts and Screws but
the equipment you’re installing may come with mounting
hardware. Consult the documentation that came with the
equipment to determine the best mounting hardware that you
should use and how you should install it.
