The data centre is ready equipped with standard 600mm by 800mm 19" rack cabinets, 43u in height. Each cabinet offers easy access to the front and rear for installation and maintenance. In addition, each cabinet is equipped with the following:
- 4 High Volume Extraction fans in roof
- Brush Panel Cable Access in roof
- 2 x 8 way 13amp power distributions
- 20 amp single phase power supply split across two distributions
- Pre-wired to the Aflex patch panel
- Vertical cable management tray
- Horizontal cable management tray
Each cabinet is fed from its own 20amp breaker on the mains distribution
board giving single phase, clean, protected mains across two separate
distributions. The 4 way high volume extraction fans in the roof increase
air flow through the cabinet, whilst the perforated raised floor tiles feed
conditioned air from the forced cooling system. The cooling system
maintains the entire facility at a constant 20oc, also adjusting for
humidity to create an ideal environment for computer equipment. In
addition, this system is duplicated to provide redundancy on such a critical
facility.

Cable management is provided so that cables are tidy and easy
to manage. Each cabinet is pre-wired into the patch panel
giving easy access to services which operate over CAT5 cables. Typical
uses include 10/100 ethernet, ISDN and analogue telephone lines.
All of the cabinets within the facility are earth bonded for safety.
Each cabinet is designed to support up to 450kg of equipment, and the raised
access floor to support 600kg. If necessary, the access floor can be
strengthened to suit requirements.
Each 8 way 13 amp power distribution strip is fed from a separate mains
supply. For equipment that supports multiple power supplies, this is an
ideal way to provide additional redundancy. Each cabinet is also supplied
with a 24 way RJ45 patch-through panel, making upgrades and changes to cabling
simple to implement without the need for traditional "punch-down"
style connecting.

All
aspects of the cabinet can be altered, including the depth members and vertical
risers, should there be specific requirements for non-standard equipment.
Additional rack consumables such as shelves and keyboard trays can be
provided and a large stock of additional items is kept on-site.
The complete racking solution enables equipment to be connected
up without any special or additional considerations.
