Installation

Cooling and best installation practice continued
It has long since been established that allowing heat recirculation in
19”
cabinets results in IT equipment overheating which
shortens its working life and more often leads to software and systems failures. Unfortunately this issue is compounded when
using soundproof materials, owing to their heat insulation properties.
So to maintain optimum performance and a safe, controlled working environment for the IT equipment
-
one that overcomes hot
spots and heat recirculation issues
-
it has to be dealt with by correct airflow management. Achieving this comes down to a
combination of clever enclosure design and the application of best installation practice.

3 blanking panels require no fixings and play an important role
in both airflow and sound proof management. A major benefit is the
prevention of hot air re

circulation which eliminates the risk of hot
spots
Keeping the vertical and horizontal cabling organised and managed is
essential in order to allow ambient air to pass through onto the active
equipment.
The foam running around the sides of the infills must be maintained
to ensure its ongoing effectiveness.

3 sound proof tower infill foam helps to retain maximum ther-
mal performance and sound attenuation when fitting non

and the potential over heating of active equipment

3 sound proof cable entry system enable cabling in and out of
the cabinet without compromising both sound or thermal
performance. There are six available ports in total, three at the top
and three at the bottom of the cabinet so further cable entry systems
