Rack Gear
by Grant Burton on Jul.18, 2018, under Hardware, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Occasionally you find you have to rack standard desktops or other non-rackable gear in a 4 post rack. I’ve found the StarTech Server Rack Shelf (sold on Amazon http://amzn.to/2uxFdtT) has great build quality and I would buy it again.
Racking an APC UPS on a two-post rack can be an expensive prospect. I’m found this solution on Amazon http://amzn.to/2NFpK2D to be one of the more economical.
