B-LINE SB596S23153AAL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rack units does the Eaton B-Line SB596S23153AAL shelf take up?
The SB596S23153AAL needs four mounting spaces (4U) of rack height. Its stated height is 6 inches, which is what a 4U opening measures, so plan on four free rack units on each rail before you order.
2) Is this B-Line shelf for a two-post open rack or a closed cabinet?
It is a rack mounted shelf for the Eaton B-Line open frame rack series, and it is double sided, so it mounts to front and rear rails of an open two-post or four-post frame rather than sitting on cabinet slides. The 30 inch depth means the frame has to support that much shelf reach.
3) Will a 30 inch deep shelf fit my 19 inch rack?
The shelf is 23.31 inches wide and 30 inches deep. The width covers the standard 19 inch mounting opening plus the rail flanges; the 30 inch depth is the part to check, since it needs a frame and aisle that accept a shelf projecting that far back.
4) Does this Eaton B-Line shelf come with mounting screws?
Yes. Shelves ship with #12-24 mounting hardware included, which is the thread used on B-Line open frame rack rails. If your rack is tapped 10-32 instead, you will need your own screws.
5) What is the B-Line SB596S23153AAL shelf made of, and will it corrode in a damp room?
Aluminum with a brushed aluminum finish. Aluminum does not rust, which is why it gets specified in humid or coastal telecom spaces where a painted steel shelf would need touching up.
6) Is this a solid shelf or a vented one?
Solid, and rated heavy duty by Eaton B-Line. A solid deck suits gear with its own side or rear fans, external power bricks, tools and spares. If you are stacking passively cooled equipment that breathes through the bottom, a vented shelf is the better pick.
7) How heavy is the shelf itself for a one-man install?
7.2 pounds. One tech can hold it in place while starting the #12-24 screws, though a 30 inch deep double sided shelf is easier with a second pair of hands on the rear rail.
8) Do I need to specify a finish or size option when ordering this shelf?
No options to pick. It is a single configuration, model SB596S23153AAL: brushed aluminum, 4U, 23.31 inches wide by 30 inches deep.
