Understanding the basic components of the rack and the order of their assembly significantly simplifies the installation process. It also ensures reliable and optimal placement of networking equipment. In this article, we will show you how to assemble a server rack and introduce you to all of its components.

Key steps in Server Rack Assembly:

  • Selection and purchase of a server rack.
  • Installation in the selected location.
  • Installation of the casing and mounting rails.
  • Placement and mounting of IT equipment.
  • Connecting cables and wires.
  • Organizing and securing cables.
  • Testing and configuration of equipment.

To understand the process of building a rack, it is necessary to know its components. Let us now proceed to their detailed discussion using the example of a server cabinet manufactured by IPCOM-Group.

Rack design: Components

The design from Ipcom-Group has been developed taking into account all innovations and requirements in the field of network infrastructure. Suitable for devices in standard 19-inch format.

Rack components:

  • Steel frame (load capacity of hanging variants up to 60 kg, and standing variants up to 1000 kg)
  • Doors (open 180 degrees, can be glass or perforated)
  • Mounting rails (for installation of server and network equipment, adjustment step in 25 mm increments)
  • Side panels (removable and lockable)
  • Cable feedthroughs in the rear panel, top and bottom of the enclosure.
  • Additional perforations on the top and bottom of the enclosure for natural ventilation

Having discussed the basic components of rack construction, now we can get to the practical part and watch the video installation instructions.
