So you have asserted to acquire a Rack mount cabinet for you computer equipment. Before you make your purchase, there are some features you may want to consider.
A precious feature that you should be a part of your purchasing decision is the type of ventilation that the rack mount cabinet you are about to obtain has to offer.
One of the most important features of rack mount enclosures is air flow and ventilation. An operating computer creates excessive heat.
Some rack mount enclosures offer the solution to the problem of ventilation and heat dissipation. These types of rack mount enclosures offer a mesh type front door and vents on all side panels which give this supermicro some of the best air circulation characteristics in the industry. Ventilation on the side or back panels is also offered in some rack mount cabinets.
Some rack enclosure manufacturers will include ventilation fans as part of their standard equipment package while others offer them as optional equipment packages. Choosing the orderly amount of a ventilation fans will assure you the proper cooling of your computer equipment. The number of fans you choose to use should be determined by the size of your cabinets and the amount of equipment that will be in your enclosure.
You will also be choosing shelving for your rack mount enclosure as well. Of course many choices of shelving are available, and obviously ventilation should be considered in your shelving decisions as well. You will find in many cases that vented shelves will also be an available option when making your purchase.
In my opinion ventilation is the most important decisions when choosing rack mount enclose. In the absence of proper heat dissipation and ventilation, more damage in a very short period of time can be caused by excessive heat. So before you make you final decision on your rack mount cabinet, be sure to consider how much ventilation your computer equipment will need.
