1. Pick a cabinet 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! 16S-346 RM Server Cabinet 12U x 600w x 1000d 16S-349 RM Server Cabinet 18U x 600w x 1000d 16S-350 RM Server Cabinet 30U x 600w x 1000d 16S-352 RM Server Cabinet 30U x 800w x 1000d 16S-351 RM Server Cabinet 42U x 600w x 1000d 16S-353 RM Server Cabinet 42U x 800w x 1000d Height
2. Plinths and Castors o o o The Cabinet comes with travel castors only to be used when the cabinet is EMPTY Castors are only really needed if the cabinet needs to be moved often. Extendable plinths are available for cabinets that have servers, which slide in and out like a drawer.

4.

5. Mounting Angles & Support Rails Mounting Angles make a shorter server secure in a cabinet that is too long Mounting Angles attach to a support rail.

7. Earth Bonding Kit 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 16U-172 Earth Bonding Kit
8. Extras 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.
