Overview

This SmartRack open frame rack has no doors or side panels. It features integrated baying tabs to combine multiple racks in rows for data center applications. It is compatible with hot-aisle/cold-aisle configurations.
The SR42UBEXPND houses 3000 lbs (1360.8 kgs) of standard 19-inch rack equipment in 42U. Square mounting holes on its rear and front vertical mounting rails adjust in quarter-inch increments from 4 to 37 inches. Each rack space is numbered for at-a-glance reference. An easy-to-read depth index ensures consistent rail placement without requiring time-consuming measurements.
Two vertical mounting rails support toolless button-mount 0U installation of four compatible PDUs and cable managers. This makes it easier to route cabling to rack equipment and reduces cord clutter.
Components are grounded to the enclosure frame. Threaded grounding points are provided for connection to the facility earth ground.
To simplify deployment, the SR42UBEXPND includes preinstalled casters that enable it to be easily maneuvered into the desired location, where it can be secured by adjusting the preinstalled levelers. Note: the casters are intended for minor position adjustments and are not designed for moving the enclosure over long distances.

Questions & Answers

A rack unit (commonly referred to as a "U") is a standard measure of the height of a device in a server rack. One rack unit is 44.45 mm (1.75 in) high. The height of a one rack unit device is described as 1U, a two rack unit device as 2U and so on.

It's important to ensure that the server rack is properly cooled, and cold airflow is sufficient to prevent overheating and equipment failure. If you plan on buying a portable or in-rack air conditioner, and need to know how much cooling power you need, here are some helpful tips.

The amount of heat that a server rack produces depends on the type of equipment in the rack, the number of devices installed, and the workload of the equipment. As a general rule, a fully loaded server rack can produce anywhere between 4 and 20 kilowatts of heat.

You can approximate the heat produced by a server rack (and therefore its cooling needs) by calculating the total heat output of all the devices in the rack. Almost all the power consumed by IT devices is converted into heat, so a server that consumes 300W will have a thermal output of approximately 300W (multiply by 3.41 to convert watts to BTU/h).

If your rack includes a UPS, it's even easier. Use the power capacity of the UPS to estimate the cooling load. For example, if the UPS has an output capacity for 1,800 watts, assume the thermal output is 1,800 watts also.
