Rack Shelf Decription
A rack shelf is normally used when slide rails are not used. The chassis is supported in the equipment rack by the shelf and not by any slide rails. A rack shelf runs the entire width of the rack. Instead of installing a rack shelf two 'L' brackets may be used which support the chassis on either side of the rack. The 'L' brackets allow air flow up the center of the rack into the chassis while the rack shelf does not, it blocks all air flow up the center of the rack forcing air to the sides of the rack.
Equipment shelf's may either be fixed or movable, in which case it would use a Ball Bearing style shelf with Slide Rails.
