Floor Standing Network/Server Racks Introduction

 

The Floor Standing racks are used to house both network as well as server equipments. These are primarily used in data centers and other places with a large number of equipments.


Most of the points that are applicable to the above wall mount racks are applicable to floor standing server racks as well, except that these are bigger and kept on the floor (some might even have wheels attached, to enable their movement).


Common sizes: 24U, 30U, 36U, 42U, 45U.


The whole front section generally comes with full length doors with hardened glass/ lock. Some might even have rear doors.


In addition to the normal cable managers, these floor standing racks also offer specialized channels for electrical cabling, network cabling, etc which ensures neat movement of cables in the rear end, along the height of the racks.


These racks can house more equipments and can handle loads of around 450-500 Kg.


Floor mount racks are supplied either in CKD (Completely Knocked Down) condition where individual components are shipped to the site and the rack itself is assembled in the site (or) is assembled in the factory and shipped as a whole.

Why are Network Racks Required?
 

Network Racks are an important component of the structured cabling system.
Network racks are required for neatly, efficiently and safely holding all the networking equipments. If there are no network racks/ patch panels, then the cabling would look cluttered. Network racks can hold many components in a relatively smaller space, which enables one to utilize the available storage space very efficiently. Network racks are required for the physical safety of all the equipments kept within, as most of them could be locked and access denied for unauthorized personnel.

 

Network racks are also required for improving the health of the networking equipments stored inside. For example, when the cables are taken carefully and neatly through the cable managers in the racks, there is little chance of data loss due to excessive cable bends. Also, the cooling fans in the network racks provide additional cooling to prevent any damage to the networking equipments kept inside them, due to over heating.

Fan Housing Units: These are either mounted in the roof (or) in the side plate. Each unit generally consists of 2/4/6 fans that are used for cooling the equipments inside the racks. Some vendors also provide rack mounted fan housing trays that can be mounted along with other equipments in the rack to provide cooling at specialized places.

 

AC Distribution Box: Network racks generally consist of a lot of equipments that need AC power. It would be inconvenient if each unit needs to be powered from an external source separately. So, an AC distribution box is used inside the rack to give power to individual equipments using one or two power lines from outside. The AC distribution box generally consists of 5 to 15 sockets (5A/15A).

 

Cable Manager: A cable manager is generally an open conduit (with metal holdings) for passing multiple cables across the horizontal section of the rack. This makes the cabling arrangement look neat as well as prevent any excessive bending of the cables.

 

Fixed/ Sliding Shelves: Not all the equipments that need to be kept in a network rack are rack mountable. Some of them come in different shapes and sizes. So, a fixed shelf plate is inserted in to the rack and these equipments are kept over it. For example, the standing desktop based servers can be kept over the shelves. There are certain heavy duty shelves to accommodate higher weight equipments. There are some sliding shelves which can be used to pull out equipments placed on them for say, frequent servicing.
Additional cable channels and conduits enable easier and neat arrangements of cables.

 

Modem Holders: Some vendors provide special chassis type shelves in order to hold more number of modems vertically, one next to another. Otherwise, they are kept horizontally and each shelf can hold only a few of them, which results in inefficient usage of rack space.

What Are the Advantages of a Standing Network Cabinet for Your Business?

A standing network cabinet, also known as a server rack or network rack, is an essential piece of equipment for businesses that rely heavily on IT infrastructure. It provides a secure and organized space to house servers, switches, routers, patch panels, and other networking devices. Here are some advantages of using a standing network cabinet for your business:

 

Space-saving: A standing network cabinet allows you to consolidate all your networking equipment in one central location. This not only saves valuable floor space but also makes it easier for your IT team to access and manage the equipment. Additionally, a standing network cabinet usually has multiple shelves or racks, allowing you to stack your equipment vertically, further optimizing space utilization.

 

Cable Management: One of the biggest challenges in maintaining a network infrastructure is managing the cables. The use of a standing network cabinet helps to mitigate this issue by providing cable management features such as cable routing, tie-down points, and cable management arms. These features allow you to neatly organize and secure cables, reducing the risk of accidents and making troubleshooting and maintenance tasks easier.

 

Security: A standing network cabinet provides physical security for your networking equipment. It typically comes with lockable doors and side panels, preventing unauthorized access. This is particularly important for businesses that handle sensitive data and need to comply with data security regulations. Additionally, a standing network cabinet can be bolted to the floor for added security, making it difficult for thieves to steal or tamper with the equipment.

 

Cooling And Ventilation: Networking equipment generates a significant amount of heat, and proper cooling and ventilation are crucial for their optimal performance and longevity. A standing network cabinet usually features ventilated doors, removable side panels, and adjustable fans, ensuring adequate airflow to prevent overheating. Some advanced models even offer temperature and humidity sensors, as well as intelligent cooling systems that adjust fan speeds based on equipment load and temperature.

 

Flexibility And Scalability

A standing network cabinet provides flexibility and scalability to accommodate your growing networking needs. Most cabinets have adjustable vertical mounting rails that can be configured to fit different equipment sizes. This means you can easily add or replace devices without having to invest in a new cabinet. Additionally, some cabinets offer modular designs with removable panels, allowing you to expand and reconfigure them as your business needs change.

 

Noise Reduction

Networking equipment can be noisy, especially if it is housed in an open environment. A standing network cabinet helps to dampen the noise generated by the equipment. The cabinet's solid construction and soundproofing materials significantly reduce the noise level, creating a quieter and more comfortable working environment for your employees.

 

Organization and accessibility

A standing network cabinet provides a structured and organized way to store your networking equipment. It has clearly labeled shelves, patch panel mounts, cable management features, and other accessories, making it easy to identify and locate specific devices or cables. This saves time and effort during installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting tasks. Moreover, the cabinet's front and rear doors can be easily removed for full access to the equipment, ensuring better visibility and ease of use.

Differences Between Wall-Mounted and Floor-Standing Cabinets
 

Server furniture is an indispensable element when arranging data centers. Network hardware is stored in special cabinets and racks. These constructions are specially designed for heavy telecommunication devices.
According to the way of mounting, two types of furniture are distinguished – wall-mounted and floor-standing racks.

Benefits of Server Furniture

  • Accommodation

Multi-layer racks allow housing diverse hardware and placing dozens of devices on shelves.

  • Security

Sturdy metal constructions secure accommodated devices from all sorts of outside impact, negative environmental influences, and unauthorized access. Equipment is reliably fastened, which means that it won't be damaged because of falling.

  • Special Holes

Racks are constructed with all the required holes for cable routing, fans installation, and other required options.

  • Size

Models of different sizes are available. Yet, all measurements are standardized. Depending on the purposes and needs of your server room, manufacturers provide different types of products.

  •  Cooling

Natural air circulation or forced ventilation systems are used to cool devices and maintain optimal operating conditions.

 

Key Points about Floor-Standing Cabinets
This group comprises both enclosed cabinets and open-frame racks. Open-rack floor-standing furniture are 2- or 4-post racks with technological holes for fastening network equipment.
Enclosed models have side walls and perforated doors with latches or locks. Both groups of products are designed for installation on the floor and equipped with casters to make solid cabinets portable.

Benefits of Floor-Standing Models

  • Withstand High Loads

Due to installation on the floor, a floor-standing rack has a high indicator of weight. Racks can withstand up to 150 kg of active devices.

  • Big Spacious Models

Since products are mounted on the floor, their capacity is higher. The size of such furniture can reach 44U (where 1U is 1,75 inches). So, calculate how high racks are and how many devices furniture can house.

  • Security

Enclosed cabinets protect stored equipment and provide a higher level of protection. Yet, open-frame racks are ideal for installation in closed data centers.

  • Cooling

Here, open-rack models take the first place since natural airflow passes through the body and functioning devices unhindered. Forced ventilation systems (fans) are used in enclosed cabinets.

  • Models are Equipped with Wheels to add Mobility.

This simplifies the process of rack relocation and room rearrangement.

Key Points About Wall-Mounted Racks
The main feature of this group of furniture is that such racks are fastened to vertical surfaces leaving floor space free. This peculiarity gives both pros and cons.
Due to its hanged mounting, the size of a wall-mounted rack, its capacity, and carrying load are limited. Since the carrying capacity of dowels that attach the cabinet to the wall is limited, it is not possible to place heavy devices in it. As a rule, wall-mounted models are less spacious and smaller in size.

 

Benefits of Wall-Mounted Racks

  • Freeing floor space. Fastening cabinets to the wall allows leaving floor space free and achieving better ergonomics inside a data center.
  • Versatile locations. It is possible to fasten cabinets anywhere, on any vertical surface.
  • All wall-mount models are enclosed, which means that security is at the high level.
  • Fans are used to reinforce airflow and provide the required cooling.
How to Choose a Rack Cabinet
 

It is a commonplace nowadays to employ rack cabinets in data centers and other modern IT installations alike. Humble as the appearance is, rack cabinet actually plays a significant role in security and regulatory compliance, configurability, cooling and efficiency, as well as system availability. Moreover, it also helps to save much more space which is considered to be vital and precious for data centers. In this article, we will discuss how to choose a right rack cabinet that better fit your expectation.

What Is Rack Cabinet?

A server rack is a closed frame, specifically designed for holding monitors, servers, various networking equipment, electronic components, measuring instruments and other similar devices. Most commonly, the rack cabinets are installed for storing network equipment and servers. The rack cabinets provide an easy access to the networking equipment while enabling airflow, and they keep the working space well-organized.


Rack cabinets are widely and intensively adopted to server rooms and data centers, audio/video installations, closets housing telecommunications equipment, and industrial environments such as a factory floor.

Common Types and Sizes of Rack Cabinet

Basically, there exist two types of rack cabinets in terms of different working conditions and requirements: floor standing rack cabinet and wall mount rack cabinet. If access control and equipment protection are important to you, floor standing rack cabinet is proved to be a desirable choice. While wall mount rack cabinet are ideal for securely housing IT equipment in classrooms or sites with limited floor space.
"Rack unit” is used to describe the height of a rack and the height of equipment in it. (a rack unit is 1.75 inches, or 44.45 mm). The actual height of a 42U rack is therefore 42 x 1.75 = 73.5 inches. A 2U server would occupy two of the available 42 rack units.

 

Since the rack cabinet come in different sizes, when choosing a specified rack for your infrastructure you should at least take two factors into consideration: type of equipment to be stored inside and amount of space that is required. Be sure to make an accurate assessment of the amount of rack space you currently need, and allow for future growth.


In addition, before installing the rack cabinet, you need to make sure that the equipment to be placed in will match the rack cabinet. So the maximum rack depth required to mount your equipment should be taken into account. The rack depth of floor standing and wall mount rack cabinet is different, which will be explained in the following diagram.

Benefits of Good Rack Cabinets

In terms of the benefits that every rack cabinet should provide, basically there are three main advantages:
Security—because the front and rear doors and side panels on most rack cabinets can be locked, access to equipment and sensitive data can be managed and controlled.
Great cooling flexibility—heat-sensitive equipment such as servers is isolated inside rack cabinets, allowing for more control over both active and passive airflow/cooling management.
Equipment protection from harsh environments—if your rack and equipment is going to be in harsh environments where dust, water and other debris could damage your equipment, a rack cabinet that protects equipment from the elements is for you.

Conclusion

IT infrastructure continues to expand and the need to organize, secure and cool servers, routers, hubs and PDUs is continuously increasing. Meanwhile, conserving space for future growth becomes more critical. All of these make rack cabinets an essential application in cutting-edge data center worldwide. I hope what we discussed above would assist you when you're looking to purchase a rack to mount your servers and other network equipment.
