Installation & Usage Tips

1. Secure Fastening
   Use proper rack screws (typically 10-32 or 12-24 depending on your rack) and torque them evenly to avoid rack warping.
2. Balance Load Distribution
   Mount heavy components as close to the back support brackets as possible to reduce leverage on the shelf and rack posts.
3. Cable Management
   Plan cable routing to avoid clutter or obstruction behind mounted devices. Use ties or cable trays under the shelf to keep wiring neat.
4. Ventilation Considerations
   Since the shelf is solid, allow extra airflow or leave clearance above or behind so rack equipment can breathe.
5. Check Weight Capacity
   While the steel shelf is robust, always check your rack’s overall weight rating and ensure the total load doesn’t exceed that limit.
