Would this server rack be able to house my 45Drives HL15?
Startech 4POSTRACK25U
I purchased the rail kit from 45Drives as well. I want to make sure this rack can support that before I purchase.
Thanks!
Yes that will work fine.
Do you really need 25U? Is this going in a conditioned space where you’ll be removing heat from the room? I just ask because I bought one about that size (27U) but am finding that something smaller (15U-18U) would have been sufficient. 25U if you fill it can put out quite a lot of heat.
I need the HL15 to be higher up off the ground due to the cable runs being terminated about 6 feet off the ground. I have a 12U rack that is wall mounted but it can’t support the weight when you add in the already racked items and I don’t think that one is deep enough.
It’s all in my utility room in my basement so heat isn’t a big concern in that room.
Well 25U isn’t 6 feet, but I’m sure you just mean you’ll be running patch cables between the two racks.
I’m using that very rack (with depth set to 30") with my HL15 and the larger rail kit. Works great.

I have my HL15 in the 12U version of that rack.

That 25U is the same rack I’m planning on buying.
