The rack uses front-mount installation with included tool-less clip nuts and 10-32 mounting screws for quick equipment setup. Four rubber feet are supplied for stable floor or desktop placement. It supports a maximum weight capacity of 350 lbs (160 kg) while the rack itself weighs approximately 17.64 lbs. Wall mounting is not supported.
