Using the Lowell WXR - 2218 Slim Wall Rack is easy. First, find a suitable wall or backboard to mount it on. Make sure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to hold the rack and the equipment you'll place on it. As the rack comes unassembled, follow the included instructions to put it together. Once assembled, you can start mounting your 19 - inch wide equipment like patch panels, routers, or switches on the rack. When it comes to cable management, take advantage of the open sides with obrounds in the top and base. Route your cables through these openings to keep them organized and prevent tangling. Here are some things to keep in mind. Don't exceed the 175 - lb load capacity. Overloading the rack can cause it to become unstable and potentially damage your equipment. Also, be careful when handling the steel parts during assembly to avoid cuts. For maintenance, simply wipe the rack with a dry cloth occasionally to keep it clean. The smooth black powder epoxy finish is durable, but try to avoid scratching it. If you notice any loose parts or signs of wear, tighten the screws or replace the parts as needed.
