1. Pick a cabinet What to consider: 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!

2. Plinths and Castors What to consider: o The Cabinet comes with “travel” castors only to be used when the cabinet is EMPTY o Castors are only really needed if the cabinet needs to be moved often. o Extendable plinths are available for cabinets that have servers, which slide in and out like a drawer.

4. Pick Shelves What to consider:

•

You don’t need shelves for all servers- if it comes with a rackmount kit, it can be joined directly to the cabinet

•

Shelves are a good way of storing non rackmountable servers in a cabinet.

5. Mounting Angles & Support Rails What to consider: •

•

Mounting Angles make a shorter server secure in a cabinet that is too long

16U-166 Support Rails (Pair) 800mm Deep Mounting Angles attach to a support rail. An 800mm deep support rail is designed to fit a 1000mm deep cabinet. Not long enough to Support reach to the Rail back

6. Cables What to consider: • Think about cable management- to make sure your cables don’t get mixed up • Jumper rings and panels stop harmful strain (stretch) on your cabling essential for a tidy solution

7. Earth Bonding Kit What to consider: •

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

8. Extras What to consider: •

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. There is nothing worse than struggling to bolt something in, only to find that it's not level and you need to start again
