Server enclosure improved to meet market needs
The load rating of the IMserv II from APW Enclosure Solutions has been increased to 900kg, and the structural rigidity of the frame has been increased by 60%.
Each section has its own 130-degree opening perforated front door, fitted with a swing handle and single point combination lock.
The rear door is also perforated; the dividers, sides and top are solid, thereby ensuring that the front to back airflow is optimised.
Common services to each section are provided.
Cable entry apertures, fitted with brushes, are provided in the top and base, with 100 x 80mm cable ducts on both sides of the rear of the cabinet.
Four-channel signal cable ducts run the full height of the unit, with single independent breakouts into each segment of the enclosure; a separate full height, single channel, power cable duct is also provided, again with access into each sector.
IMserv is multivendor friendly and hence futureproof.
The mechanical configurations of all servers available from the leading manufacturers can be accommodated within IMserv, enabling users to ignore the physical differences between different manufacturer's products when making their server selection.
