Re: DATACENTER: Datacenter racks

You can get B-Line Heavy Duty shelves - it's actually a pair fo shelves
that gets mounted on both sides of the rack.

CPI makes them too but I think B-Line is a little cheaper and supports
more weight - the B-Line part# would be something like SB-596-19-02MGR
and it supports 200lb - more than enough for that UPS.
