General Rackmount
Server Rack And
Computer Cabinet
Information
Please note that due to
the different ways of spelling rack mount,
we are using the common variations used by our customers.
Server
Racks, Server Cabinets: These cabinets and racks are normally used for deep
hot running servers (made by major server manufactures such as Compaq, Dell,
HP, IBM and Sun ) that require steady airflow for proper cooling. Typically
these racks and enclosures are deeper than conventional rack mount computer
cabinets. Our standard server enclosure “U" or rack space ranges from 3U to
44U with a depth up to 42". We refer to a server rack as a rack-mount frame
without doors or side panels. When these racks are fitted with vented doors
and side panels we refer to it as a server cabinet. Another characteristic these
enclosures have is square hole rackrails rather than threaded rails. In most
cases, an M6 rack
screw will be used with a cage nut. This allows rail compatibility
for the various manufactures. We have rackmount solutions for whatever application
you may have. In addition to the server racks we
have on this catalog, we also have a special site for SWDP products. You can
view this at

Computer
Cabinets, Computer Racks: ISC defines computer cabinets as a more traditional
rack mount enclosure
that is designed for hardware that runs cooler and is not as deep as a rack
mount server enclosure rack. Many times the doors and side panels on a rack-mount
computer cabinet are not vented or perforated because the heat build up is not
as severe as for the deep hot running servers used in server racks. We would
define a rack mount computer rack as a cabinet without the doors and side panels.
Many centers will put in rows of computer racks that can be ganged together
and put on doors or sides panels where necessary. In most cases computer cabinets
and computer racks have tapped 10/32 holes in the rackrails which is not compatible
for most of today’s blade type servers. ISC also supplies several
10/32 rack screw
options. The rack space or “U" for our standard computer cabinet and computer
rack options range from 8U to 44U.
ISC also offers rackmount solutions for most any application
you may have. Some of the
