Please note that due to the different
ways of spelling rack mount,
we are using the common variations used by our customers.
Server Rack, Server Cabinet: These
server cabinets and
server racks are normally used for deep hot running servers (made
by major server manufactures such as Compaq, Dell, HP, IBM and Sun ) that
require steady airflow for proper cooling. Typically these racks and enclosures
are deeper than conventional rack mount
computer cabinets. Our standard
server enclosure �U� or rack space ranges from 3U to 44U with a depth up
to 42�. We refer to a
server rack as a rack-mount frame without doors or side panels.
When these racks are fitted with vented doors and side panels we refer to
it as a
server cabinet. Another characteristic these enclosures have
is square hole rackrails rather than threaded rails. In most cases, an
M6 rack screw will be used with a cage nut. This allows rail
compatibility for the various manufactures. We have rackmount solutions
for whatever application you may have.
Computer Cabinet, Computer Rack: ISC defines computer cabinets
as a more traditional rack mount
enclosure that is designed for hardware that runs cooler and
is not as deep as a rack mount server enclosure rack. Many times the doors
and side panels on a rack-mount
computer cabinet are not vented or perforated because the heat
build up is not as severe as for the deep hot running servers used in server
racks. We would define a rack mount
computer rack as a cabinet without the doors and side panels.
Many centers will put in rows of computer racks that can be ganged
together and put on doors or sides panels where necessary. In most cases
computer cabinets and computer racks have tapped 10/32 holes in the rackrails which is not compatible for most of today�s blade type servers. ISC also supplies several
10/32 rack screw options. The rack space or �U� for our standard computer cabinet and computer rack options range from 8U to 44U.
ISC also offers rackmount solutions for
most any application you may have. Some of the
rack mount accessories ISC supplies are:
