42U Adjustable Depth Server Rack

The StarTech 4POSTRACK42 is a 42U open-frame 4-post rack built from steel for mounting servers, network gear and telecommunications equipment. Adjustable mounting depth ranges from 22 to 40 inches to fit a variety of chassis lengths. It ships flat-packed with casters, leveling feet and cable management hooks included.

Static Load and Installation Options

The rack supports a static loading capacity of 1320 lbs (600 kg) and meets EIA/ECA-310, IEC 60297 and DIN 41494 standards for universal equipment compatibility. The base is pre-drilled for optional floor anchoring. Casters and levelers provide mobility or stable positioning on uneven surfaces.

Depth Range Decides Fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the adjustable mounting depth of 22 to 40 inches. Equipment deeper than 40 inches cannot be accommodated. Buyers needing deeper mounting or enclosed side panels should consider alternative rack styles.

Questions about this item

How do I assemble the 4POSTRACK42 from its flat-pack components, and which step do installers most often get wrong?

Bolt the 8 corner sections and 4 center sections to the 2 base brackets, 2 top brackets, and 4 vertical rails using the 50 M8 bolts and washers with the included 13 mm wrench; the step most often missed is tightening every M8 bolt to the same torque so the frame stays square before mounting any equipment.

What parts of the 4POSTRACK42 will need inspection or replacement over time?

Check the 4 casters for flat spots or bearing noise, verify the 4 leveling feet still lock securely, and inspect the 6 cable management hooks for bent tips; the M8 hardware can be re-torqued with the supplied 13 mm wrench if the rack shifts.

At what load does the 4POSTRACK42 reach its rated limit during continuous use?

The rack is rated for a static load of 1320 lbs (600 kg); that is the first limit you hit under sustained loading, so total installed equipment weight must stay at or below that figure.
