If you want computer server racks that give more stability and convenience, you can consider placing rack mount servers on 4 post server racks. These server racks support your equipment using four steel posts and are usually set about 30 or 36 inches apart. You can mount practically any kind of computer hardware to a 4 post server rack.

You can choose between a fully enclosed cabinet and an open 4 post server rack. If you like enclosed cabinets, make sure you select computer server racks that have adequate ventilation, to avoid too much heat building up in the cabinet. You can get cabinet doors that are vented or perforated, to help with the ventilation. In addition, you have the option to specify fan tops for the top panel.

The enclosed cabinet 4 post server racks allow you to keep your rack mount servers secure from unauthorized physical access. If you do not need to have security for equipment at the rack level, you can buy the open 4 post server rack unit. This would make your computer hardware even easier to maintain, as you can access the equipment from all sides.

A 4 post server rack is appropriate for mounting your more hefty hardware, such as disk arrays and larger servers weighing in excess of 50 pounds. These types of equipment will need support on all four corners so they remain securely mounted.

These server racks can house the same hardware that 2-post computer server racks support, but only if the equipment does not call for center-mounting. The 4 post server rack makes space easier to manage because its outer dimensions are fixed. A 4 post server rack will have the advantage of not needing any shelves to support the heavier pieces of hardware, thus the arrangement is less complex and you can reduce cost and logistical problems during maintenance.
