Wall-mounted server cabinet - features of choice

WALL MOUNTED SERVER CABINET – CHOICE FEATURES

A wall mounted server cabinet is designed to accommodate telecommunications, server and electrical equipment in the 19” standard.

And here everything seems to be simple - if you want to place a lot of equipment, take a floor structure. And preferably higher, for example, 42U.

But often, the issue of free space, or rather the lack thereof, is an acute issue. For example, a server room is small in size and the floor surface is already completely occupied, but new equipment still needs to be installed. In this case, the optimal solution is a wall mounted server cabinet, which can be attached to vertical surfaces at any height.

Let's look at the design and selection features wall server cabinet:

Overall dimensions. This parameter depends on two factors: the first is the available space for placing the structure and the second is the size of the equipment that needs to be placed in the cabinet. Having decided on these two indicators, you can find the optimal option for solving a specific problem. Standard indicators for wall-mounted server cabinets are as follows: height – 6U, 9U, 12U, 15U, 18U, 22U; width – 600 mm; depth – 450 or 600 mm.
Door type. There may be 2 door options: perforation or tempered glass. The difference between a door with perforation is that it allows for improved ventilation inside the structure.
Maximum load. This parameter directly depends on the quantity and weight of the equipment available. If the equipment is not heavy, you can take models with a small load rating, since you should not overpay. By the way, IPCOM wall-mounted server cabinets can withstand up to 120 kg.
Degree of protection. This indicator is expressed by the IP indicator (class of protection against moisture and dust). Here it is worth considering the conditions under which the server equipment will be operated: how exposed the room is to humidity, dampness, dust, etc. Typically, server rooms have standard living conditions without increased “risk”, so a model with an IP20 degree of protection is quite suitable.

IPCOM is ready to offer you a number of standard wall mounted server cabinet positions or produce a custom-made design.
