| ISX Cabinets Features and Benefits |
| Compatibility |
| Door ventilation exceeds 830 in2 (5355 cm2) |
Adequate ventilation is required for proper operation
of today's servers. NetShelter VX and VS Enclosures include fully
perforated front and rear doors to provide ample ventilation for
servers and networking equipment. The perforation pattern provides
844 square inches of open area on the front door, exceeding requirements
set forth by major server manaufacturers. Although this ventilation
pattern provides adequate cooling for most configurations, air-moving
accessories such as APC's Air Distribution Unit are also available
to support higher heat density applications. |
| Adjustable mounting depth |
Vertical mounting rails are adjustable for equipment
with various mounting depths. |
| Guaranteed Compatibility |
Vendor-neutral mounting for guaranteed compatibility
with all EIA-310 compliant 19" equipment. APC's "Fits
Like a Glove" money back guarantee provides peace of mind
that all of your EIA-310-D compliant rack-mount equipment will
physically fit in a NetShelter VX enclosure. |
| Ventilated Doors with Scalable Cooling Options |
Superior door ventilation exceeds airflow requirements
for major servers. Scalable cooling options for high-density applications. |
| Agility |
| Rear Cable Management channels |
Integrated rear cable management channels allow
customers to easily route, manage, and access large numbers of
data cables even while an enclosure is loaded with rack-mount equipment
and bayed within a row. |
| Rear Power Distribution channels |
Rear power distribution channels provide easy access
to multiple receptacles occupying zero U in recessed channels .
The rear power distribution channels allow APC basic, metered,
and switched vertical rack PDU's to be installed easily in the
rear without interfering with equipment or taking up valuable U
space. This provides increased accessibility to receptacles and
allows customers to support more power cords within the enclosure.
Up to 42 5-15R receptacles can be installed in just one rear cabling
channel. |
| Cable Access |
APC understands that power and data can be routed
either from overhead or from underneath a raised floor. Generous
cable access holes are provided in the roof and base. The 42 inch
(1070 mm) deep versions provide two 4x8 inch (102x203 mm) cable
access holes in the roof directly above the rear cabling channels
and two 4x4 inch (102x102 mm) cable access holes directly below
the rear cabling channels to provide cable access where it is really
needed. On occasion, a power or data cable may need to be routed
to an adjacent enclosure when two or more enclosures are bayed
together. The 42 inch (1070 mm) deep versions provide side cable
pass through holes in the rear cabling channels to allow for such
requirements. |
| Numbered U positions |
Rapid installation of rack mounted equipment. |
| Optimized depth |
Enclosures deeper than those traditionally used
are required to properly install the latest servers, distribute
power, and manage cabling in today's data centers. The struggle
facing data center managers is determining how deep to go without
sacrificing valuable floor space. In a hot aisle/cold aisle layout
NetShelter VX Enclosures provide the maximum enclosure depth (42
inches (107 cm)) without sacrificing floor space. This allows for
36 inches (91 cm) of clearance in the hot aisle and 48 inches (122
cm) in the cold aisle. In a hot aisle/cold aisle layout, selecting
enclosures less than 42 inches (107 cm) deep will not allow more
enclosures to be installed in a datacenter, but only increase the
clearance in the hot aisle. |
| Optimized width |
NetShelter VX Enclosures are designed to align exactly
on standard 24 inch and 600 mm wide floor tiles when bayed together. |
| Rolls through a 7 foot doorway |
APC has made installation fast and easy by designing
the enclosure such that it rolls through standard 7 foot doorways.
This feature does not apply to 47U versions. |
| Ships fully assembled |
NetShelter VX Enclosures ship fully assembled reducing
the time required to install equipment. |
| Simple Selection |
No need to spend hours choosing from and compiling
dozens of part numbers to create a single enclosure. APC has made
it easy by handling the details and providing complete enclosures
with single part numbers. |
| Assemble to order |
The NetShelter VX Enclosures are capable of being "assembled
to order" to meet the unique needs of specific customers.
When ordered in this fashion, these enclosures are repackaged and
shipped on a robust, shock absorbing pallet designed to support
up to 1,000 lbs (454 kgs) of equipment. |
| Serviceability |
| Quick release doors |
During installation and while conducting routine
maintenance of installed equipment, it is often advantageous to
remove the enclosure doors. Quick release hinge pins allow for
fast, easy access. |
| Quick release side panels |
During installation and while conducting routine
maintenance of installed equipment, it is often advantageous to
remove the side panels. Quick release slam latches on the side
panels allow for quick, easy access. |
| Split rear doors |
Split rear doors improve access and serviceability
to rear of rack mounted equipment. The split rear doors help to
maximize floor space. Only 11 inches (279 mm) of clearance is required
behind the enclosures to allow for door swing. |
| Safety |
| UBC Zone 4 Compliant |
NetShelter VX Enclosures are UBC (Uniform Building
Code) Zone 4 compliant if used in conjunction with APC's bolt down
bracket kit (part # AR8112BLK). |
| Protective grounding provisions |
Safety protection against electric shock and reduction
of EMI emissions. NetShelter VX Enclosures incorporate a series
of ground studs within each enclosure, providing adequate means
for grounding all loose sheet metal panels and/or internally rack-mounted
equipment. |
| Protection |
| Lockable doors and side panels |
Increased level of security to prevent unauthorized
entry. Front doors, rear doors, and side panels are lockable and
only accessible with a key provided with NetShelter Enclosures. |
| Door access monitoring |
An optional door alarm switch kit (APC part # AP9513)
combined with an APC Environment Monitoring Unit (APC part # AP9312TH
or AP9312THI) permits access monitoring of NetShelter VX enclosures.
It is possible to be notified via e-mail, pager, or SNMP if an
enclosure door has been opened. |
| Structural Stability |
A proven frame design, heavy gauge mounting rails,
and heavy-duty casters provide for 2000 lb (908 kg) static and
dynamic load ratings. |
| Provides security between enclosures when bayed
together |
Privacy panels (AR8349BLK) can be ordered with NetShelter
VX enclosures to inhibit access from one rack to another. |
| Adaptability |
| Reversible doors |
In situations where it is desirable for the front
door to open from the opposite side, doors can be detached and
reversed. |
| Expansion |
VX and VS Enclosures can be easily expanded upon
to create complete rows of enclosures. Enclosures models that ship
without side panels include hardware required to bolt to adjacent
enclosures. |
