Frequently Asked Questions
What is an open frame rack and why choose one?
An open frame rack provides a skeletal structure for mounting equipment without side panels or doors. This design maximizes airflow, reduces costs, and simplifies cable management—making it ideal for data centers prioritizing thermal efficiency and accessibility over dust containment.
Is the WX-368 compatible with my server equipment?
Yes. The WX-368 is a standard 19-inch EIA rack that supports most rack-mount chassis from major manufacturers including Dell, HP, Cisco, and Supermicro. Verify your equipment's depth does not exceed 29 inches for optimal fit.
Can the WX-368 be moved between locations?
Absolutely. The integrated castors enable smooth movement across facility floors, while leveling feet provide stability once positioned. This makes the 36U rack ideal for flexible deployments and temporary installations.
How does the 4-post design improve stability?
The 4-post frame distributes weight evenly across all corners, providing superior load capacity and lateral stability compared to 2-post designs. This ensures safe mounting of multiple heavy rack-mount devices simultaneously.
