Server cabinet installation steps and precautions Server cabinet installation specifications
List all the equipment to be installed in the cabinet and their complete measurements: height, length, width, and weight. The total height of these devices will ultimately determine how much equipment can be loaded into the cabinet. Obviously, a taller cabinet will fit more equipment and save more space.
Of course maximizing the height of the cabinet is not the only consideration; there is also a lot of space available at the back of the cabinet. That's where measuring the depth of the cabinet comes in. By choosing a deeper cabinet, you can fit two sets of equipment back-to-back and thus install more equipment. Using the above approach two rows of equipment can be loaded into the cabinet, one from the front door of the cabinet and the other from the back door. The cabinet should have an adjustable position.
After calculating the cabinet space (in "U" or 1.75-inch units), consider the size of the room. You don't want to find out soon after you fill the cabinet that you have to fit in some more equipment. Once you've bought the cabinet and finished installing it, that extra equipment often shows up. So, as a basic rule, allow 20 to 30 percent more cabinet height for system expansion. This space also improves the ventilation of the equipment.
Equipment with brackets does not need to consider width, because it is designed to fit the width of the cabinet. However, for servers and other peripherals that cannot be bracketed, width cannot be ignored.
Since the total weight of the equipment is often not light, choose a cabinet that can hold about 1500 pounds, i.e., a cabinet with a good and solid force structure. Inside the cabinet, the weight of the equipment determines the choice of standard or weighted sliding racks, as well as the choice of some other accessories. Choose a cabinet that is 100% compatible with all servers and that meets or exceeds all OEMs' Class III racking standards. Sliding shelves and mounting accessories are required if you wish to install tower or desktop equipment.
Since the installation includes network cables, telecom cables and power cables, you will need to purchase hook and loop straps or straps with teeth to effectively secure the cables in an orderly manner inside the cabinet. It would be nice if the cabinet came with a cable management module so that the cables could be secured directly into the vertical mounting rails. In either case, the top and side walls of the cabinet interior should have enough retaining rings (to protect the cables), or the bottom panel of the cabinet can be lifted up to allow the cables to be routed underneath.
