Ensure the shelf is level and securely fastened before placing equipment on it.

Recommendations

Prefer mounting closer to vertical support rails and avoid cantilevering heavy equipment beyond the shelf edge. Regularly check fastenings and load distribution to maintain secure and reliable rack use.
