1. Pick a cabinet

16S-349 RM Server Cabinet 18U x 600w x 1000d

16S-350 RM Server Cabinet 30U x 600w x 1000d

16S-351 RM Server Cabinet 42U x 600w x 1000d

16S-353 RM Server Cabinet 42U x 800w x 1000d

What to consider:

i. A U is 1.76”

ii. Need to decide how tall the cabinet needs to be

iii. Need to decide the width (a wider cabinet provides more room for cables)

iv. Find out how many servers need to go in and how many U they are. Don’t forget to

leave plenty of leeway for growth and airflow (around 5U)

v. Width is mainly decided by where the cabinet has to go and if it can fit through the

door!

What to consider:

o The Cabinet comes with “travel” castors only to be used when the cabinet is

EMPTY

o Castors are only really needed if the cabinet needs to be moved often.

o Extendable plinths are available for cabinets that have servers, which slide in

and out like a drawer. (see later)

90Kg

15Kg

What to consider:

• You don’t need shelves for all servers- if it comes with a rackmount kit, it can

be joined directly to the cabinet

• Shelves are a good way of storing non rackmountable servers in a cabinet.

4. Pick Shelves

Not long

enough to

reach to the

back

Support

Rail

Mounting

Angle

What to consider:

• Mounting Angles make a shorter

server secure in a cabinet that is too

long

• Mounting Angles attach to a support

rail. An 800mm deep support rail is

designed to fit a 1000mm deep

cabinet.

16U-177 Small Jumper Rings - 10 Pack

What to consider:

• Think about cable management- to make sure your cables don’t get mixed up

• Jumper rings and panels stop harmful strain (stretch) on your cabling -

essential for a tidy solution

6. Cables

16U-172 Earth Bonding Kit

What to consider:

• Every cabinet should have an earth bonding kit

• Aids earth continuity between the frame, doors and the top cover of the

cabinet to help prevent risk of electrocution

• Earth bonding kits provide sufficient leads for all the panels on a cabinet

to be bonded to the main frame

7. Earth Bonding Kit

16U-176 Baying Kit

16U-190 "U" Measuring Strip

16U-189 Document Holder

16U-175 Cage Nuts, Bolts and Washers - Bag of 50

16U-153 2 way roof fan

16U-154 4 way roof fan

What to consider:

• Don’t worry about fans unless the cabinet is going to be very full

• A baying kit is used to join 2 adjacent server cabinets for better stability

• A document wallet will keep all of your important documents close to hand

• "U" measuring strip will help you level up and space your equipment when

bolting it into the cabinet. There is nothing worse than struggling to bolt

something in, only to find that it's not level and you need to start again
