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.
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.
