Rack System
Flexibility is the key to the Anthro Rack System. You can mount both
standard threaded rail mount and Dell/HP style mounts all in one rack.
Now that’s convenience!
Building Your Rack
Before you place an order, you’ll need
to identify the specific equipment,
by manufacturer, that will go in your
Rack System. If you are unfamiliar
with rack systems, here are some
simple steps in configuring ours:
Step One: The Basic Frame
You begin with the Basic Frame. First decide how many Units of rack you’ll need. Your rack
mountable equipment is measured in Units (a Rack Unit is 1.75" high). Figure out how many
Units of equipment you have. You also might want extra Units to grow. Add all those Units up,
and that will determine which Anthro Basic Frame to consider. Anthro offers 12 Unit, 16 Unit,
24 Unit and 36 Unit models.
Step Two: Adding Tapped Rails to the Front (Required)
Equipment is mounted to the Basic Frame using Tapped Rails. You attach the rails to the
Frame, and then your equipment is attached to the rails. The industry uses two standards of
rack mountable equipment: those that use threaded rail mounts which have standard 10-32
screw holes; and Dell/HP style mounts that have larger square holes instead of screw holes.
You can use both standards on an Anthro Rack System. Choose Tapped Rails that are specific
to your equipment from our accessory list starting on page 103.
Step Three: Choosing Tapped Rails for the Back
Some rack mountable equipment requires support in the rear. Anthro’s floating panels, which
come standard on the sides of the Basic Frame, mount on the front or the back of the frame
so that you can support equipment of different depths. Choose Tapped Rails for the rear of
your equipment from our Tapped Rail offerings. Some Anthro Rack accessories require back
Tapped Rails for sturdy mounting (see page 102).
Step Four: Add Accessories to Complete your Rack System
See all your choices on page 93.
