- Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, carefully tighten all screws to ensure the rack is rigid and stable.
- Attach Non-Slip Feet: Secure the non-slip feet to the bottom of the rack to prevent movement and protect surfaces.
Optional: Cooling Fan Installation
The rack is adaptable for 80x80mm or 120x120mm cooling fans (fans are not included). If installing fans, ensure they are properly oriented for optimal airflow (intake or exhaust) and secured to the designated mounting points on the shelves or panels.

6. Operating Instructions
Once assembled, the Tecmojo Mini Rack is ready for equipment installation.
- Placement: Place the assembled rack on a stable, level surface. Ensure adequate space around the rack for ventilation and cable management.
- Mounting Equipment:
- For 10-inch rack-mountable devices (e.g., switches, patch panels), align the mounting holes of the device with the square holes on the rack's vertical rails.
- Insert M6 cage nuts into the square holes on the rack rails at the desired U-height.
- Secure the equipment using M6 screws. Ensure the equipment is evenly distributed and securely fastened.
- For devices placed on shelves (e.g., SBCs, small servers), ensure they are stable and do not obstruct airflow.
- Cable Management: Utilize cable ties or other cable management accessories (not included) to organize power and data cables. Proper cable management improves airflow and simplifies maintenance.
- Power Connection: Connect power supplies for your equipment to a suitable power strip (not included) mounted within or near the rack.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Tecmojo Mini Rack and the equipment housed within it.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the rack's surfaces, including the acrylic panels, with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the acrylic.
- Dust Removal: Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust buildup from equipment and ventilation openings to maintain proper airflow.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten any loose fasteners.
- Cable Inspection: Check cables for any signs of wear, damage, or kinks. Replace damaged cables immediately.
8. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Tecmojo Mini Rack.
- Rack Instability:
