What
racks will it work with? (top)
We have not been able to test the RFT model
line with all racks, but from what we

found a rack that it will not work with.
Sun Microsystems, APC, Knurr, Equipto,
Emcor, SharkRack, APW, Dell, Compaq,
and IBM are racks we know that customers
have installed our units into. Because
of the mounting brackets we use, we
doubt there is a rack we can't mount
to.
