About 45U Open Server Rack
A server rack is a standardized framework designed to house multiple servers and other network equipment. It is typically used in data centers, server rooms, and other IT environments to organize and efficiently store server hardware.
Open Frame Design for Enhanced AirflowThe rack features a fully open structure on the sides, front, and rear, eliminating obstructions and enabling superior natural convection airflow. This design efficiently dissipates heat generated by high-density server and networking equipment, reducing cooling costs and supporting optimal system performance in data centers and other high-load environments.
Flexible Installation and AdjustmentEquipped with tool-less, adjustable mounting rails and a knockdown flat-pack assembly, the rack offers seamless customization for different installation needs. Heavy-duty leveling feet and optional castors provide stability and mobility, while compatibility with essential accessories like PDUs, shelves, and cooling fans enhances operational flexibility.
FAQ's of 45U Open Server Rack:
Q: How do I assemble the 45U Open Server Rack upon delivery?
A: The rack features a knockdown structure for flat pack delivery. Assembly involves connecting the CRCA steel frame components with standard tools, attaching adjustable mounting rails, and adding leveling feet or castors as required. Detailed instructions are provided for a straightforward setup process.
Q: What are the benefits of an open-frame, doorless server rack design?
A: The open-frame design, without side panels or doors, promotes maximum airflow for effective natural convection cooling. This reduces the risk of overheating for densely packed IT equipment and allows for unhindered access during equipment installation or maintenance.
Q: What mounting hardware is compatible with this server rack?
A: The 45U Open Server Rack supports industry-standard 19-inch mounting with EIA-310 compliance. It accommodates standard M6 cage nuts and screws, and the adjustable rails allow various depths of equipment to be securely installed.
Q: Where can this rack be used, and what applications is it best suited for?
A: This rack is ideal for data centers, networking rooms, telecommunications installations, server rooms, and other environments where equipment housing and efficient cable management are required. Its robust construction and high load-bearing capacity make it suitable for professional IT setups.
Q: How does the rack handle cable management for large installations?
A: Vertical and horizontal cable organizer support is built in, ensuring orderly routing of power and data cables. This helps maintain airflow efficiency, ease of equipment maintenance, and reduces clutter within the rack.
Q: When should the optional castors be used instead of leveling feet?
A: Castors are recommended when frequent relocation or repositioning is anticipated, such as during reconfiguration of server rooms. Leveling feet are preferred for permanent or semi-permanent installations, providing stable support, especially on uneven surfaces.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity of the 45U Open Server Rack?
A: This rack supports up to 1000 kg of equipment, making it suitable for high-density mounting of servers, network switches, and auxiliary devices. The CRCA steel construction ensures reliable strength and durability for demanding IT environments.
