Frequently Asked Questions About Equipment Rack Shelves:
What Are Equipment Rack Shelves?
Equipment rack shelves are commonly seen rack mounted on network equipment racks or server racks. Essentially their purpose is to be able to stack electronic equipment like servers, power supplies, computers, monitors, or digital recorders on top of them. Basically any equipment that you can’t rack mount directly to a rack you may choose to set on a shelf. You may also hear people call equipment rack shelves server rack shelves, rack mountable shelves, a rack shelf, a server rack shelf, or a network equipment shelf. Either way they all serve the same function and that is to support, hold, and help organize your equipment.
How Does An Equipment Rack Shelf Work?
A rack mountable shelf is very easy to install and is really an accessory to an equipment rack. Most equipment racks come in 2 and 4 post configurations along with being an industry standard 19 inches wide. Even if you are installing a shelf in a server cabinet most cabinets are also 19 inches. Our shelves come with all the mounting screws you need to simply slide the shelf into the rack and screw it down. Keep in mind that not all equipment rack shelves are made equally. Many rack shelves are made to withstand a certain amount of weight so you can choose a shelf that will support small or large pieces of network equipment. Some shelves are also different depths to support different sizes of equipment. You can also choose from a vented or solid non-vented rack shelf. The vented rack shelf is designed to give extra air flow to your equipment to assist in heat issues.
