Features & Benefits
|
Compatibility
|
|
Door ventilation exceeds 830 in2 (5355
cm2) |
Adequate ventilation is required for
proper operation of today's servers. NetShelter VX and VS Enclosures
include fully perforated front and rear doors to provide ample
ventilation for servers and networking equipment. The perforation
pattern provides 844 square inches of open area on the front door,
exceeding requirements set forth by major server manaufacturers.
Although this ventilation pattern provides adequate cooling for most
configurations, air-moving accessories such as APC's Air Distribution
Unit are also available to support higher heat density applications.
|
|
Adjustable mounting depth |
Vertical mounting rails are adjustable
for equipment with various mounting depths. |
|
Guaranteed Compatability |
Vendor-neutral mounting for guaranteed
compatibility with all EIA-310 compliant 19" equipment. APC's "Fits
Like a Glove" money back guarantee provides peace of mind that all of
your EIA-310-D compliant rack-mount equipment will physically fit in a
NetShelter VX enclosure. |
|
Ventilated Doors with Scalable Cooling
Options |
Superior door ventilation exceeds
airflow requirements for major servers. Scalable cooling options for
high-density applications. |
| |
Convenience
|
|
Rear Cable Management channels
|
Integrated rear cable management
channels allow customers to easily route, manage, and access large
numbers of data cables even while an enclosure is loaded with
rack-mount equipment and bayed within a row. |
|
Rear Power Distribution channels
|
Rear power distribution channels provide
easy access to multiple receptacles occupying zero U in recessed
channels . The rear power distribution channels allow APC basic,
metered, and switched vertical rack PDU's to be installed easily in
the rear without interfering with equipment or taking up valuable U
space. This provides increased accessibility to receptacles and allows
customers to support more power cords within the enclosure. Up to 42
5-15R receptacles can be installed in just one rear cabling channel.
|
|
Cable Access |
APC understands that power and data can
be routed either from overhead or from underneath a raised floor.
Generous cable access holes are provided in the roof and base. The 42
inch (1070 mm) deep versions provide two 4x8 inch (102x203 mm) cable
access holes in the roof directly above the rear cabling channels and
two 4x4 inch (102x102 mm) cable access holes directly below the rear
cabling channels to provide cable access where it is really needed. On
occasion, a power or data cable may need to be routed to an adjacent
enclosure when two or more enclosures are bayed together. The 42 inch
(1070 mm) deep versions provide side cable pass through holes in the
rear cabling channels to allow for such requirements. |
|
Numbered U positions |
Rapid installation of rack mounted
equipment. |
|
Optimized depth |
Enclosures deeper than those
traditionally used are required to properly install the latest
servers, distribute power, and manage cabling in today's data centers.
The struggle facing data center managers is determining how deep to go
without sacrificing valuable floor space. In a hot aisle/cold aisle
layout NetShelter VX Enclosures provide the maximum enclosure depth
(42 inches (107 cm)) without sacrificing floor space. This allows for
36 inches (91 cm) of clearance in the hot aisle and 48 inches (122 cm)
in the cold aisle. In a hot aisle/cold aisle layout, selecting
enclosures less than 42 inches (107 cm) deep will not allow more
enclosures to be installed in a datacenter, but only increase the
clearance in the hot aisle. |
|
Optimized width |
NetShelter VX Enclosures are designed to
align exactly on standard 24 inch and 600 mm wide floor tiles when
bayed together. |
|
Rolls through a 7 foot doorway
|
APC has made installation fast and easy
by designing the enclosure such that it rolls through standard 7 foot
doorways. This feature does not apply to 47U versions. |
|
Ships fully assembled |
NetShelter VX Enclosures ship fully
assembled reducing the time required to install equipment.
|
|
Simple Selection |
No need to spend hours choosing from and
compiling dozens of part numbers to create a single enclosure. APC has
made it easy by handling the details and providing complete enclosures
with single part numbers. |
| |
Protection
|
|
Lockable doors and side panels
|
Increased level of security to prevent
unauthorized entry. Front doors, rear doors, and side panels are
lockable and only accessible with a key provided with NetShelter
Enclosures. |
|
Door access monitoring |
An optional door alarm switch kit (APC
part # AP9513) combined with an APC Environment Monitoring Unit (APC
part # AP9312TH or AP9312THI) permits access monitoring of NetShelter
VX enclosures. It is possible to be notified via e-mail, pager, or
SNMP if an enclosure door has been opened. |
|
Structural Stability |
A proven frame design, heavy gauge
mounting rails, and heavy-duty casters provide for 2000 lb (909 kg)
static and dynamic load ratings. |
|
Shipping Pallet |
All NetShelter VX Enclosures are shipped
on a robust, shock absorbing pallet designed to support up to 1000
lbs. |
| |
Safety
|
|
UBC Zone 4 Compliant |
NetShelter VX Enclosures are UBC
(Uniform Building Code) Zone 4 compliant if used in conjunction with
APC's bolt down bracket kit (part # AR8112BLK). |
|
Protective grounding provisions
|
Safety protection against electric shock
and reduction of EMI emissions. NetShelter VX Enclosures incorporate a
series of ground studs within each enclosure, providing adequate means
for grounding all loose sheet metal panels and/or internally
rack-mounted equipment. |
| |
Serviceability
|
|
Quick release doors |
During installation and while conducting
routine maintenance of installed equipment, it is often advantageous
to remove the enclosure doors. Quick release hinge pins allow for
fast, easy access. |
|
Quick release side panels |
During installation and while conducting
routine maintenance of installed equipment, it is often advantageous
to remove the side panels. Quick release slam latches on the side
panels allow for quick, easy access. |
|
Split rear doors |
Split rear doors improve access and
serviceability to rear of rack mounted equipment. The split rear doors
help to maximize floor space. Only 11 inches (279 mm) of clearance is
required behind the enclosures to allow for door swing. |
| |
Adaptability
|
|
Reversible doors |
In situations where it is desirable for
the front door to open from the opposite side, doors can be detached
and reversed. |
|
Expansion |
VX and VS Enclosures can be easily
expanded upon to create complete rows of enclosures. Enclosures models
that ship without side panels include hardware required to bolt to
adjacent enclosures. |
