Norco 4220 server rack question

[JM2005]

I have had my Norco 4220 case for many years just sitting on a small stand. I had to move it to another room recently and was wondering what type of mounting are you guys using? I am limited on space in small closet that has great AC going to it to keep it cool, this closet has my cable modem, pfsense router and 24 port router as well. Do you have it rack mounted? How do you have your mounted?

 

Thanks,

I typically have my servers mounted in a half rack with locking doors/sides. Right now, due to some housework, I have them sitting on industrial shelves. It ain't fancy but works.

I should have posted this in another forum!  Sorry about that. Moderator please move it to the Hardware forum.

 

Thank you.

I bought this open post rack for my Norco's

Naturally Newegg change their numbers.  Mine was a 22u rack not a 15u like the link but it is from same manufacturer just 22 instead of 15 and looks the same

It seems a lot of people have trouble racking norcos.  I think it's an issue with once you get the rails on it makes it too wide in the rack.  I used to have a norco 4224 but never tried to rack it.  I think a lot of people end up just sticking them on shelves.  I had mine on a folding table in the basement for a long time.

Currently i'm running 2x supermicro sc846 now with 42u APC netshelter sx rack.

Yeah i am thinking i will just leave it on stand it’s setting on for now.  I am limited on closet space.
