Data is crucial to your organisation and it’s most likely stored in a rack server. We stock a range of Drawer Slides from Accuride that make installation and maintenance of your rack server quicker and easier.
The key features of these drawer slides are that they extend more than 100%. This allows you to access the back of the server. They are also only 9.6mm thick to maximise the space for the server, other items and ventilation.
Servers work better and last longer if they are kept at the right temperature. Some of the world's biggest Data Centers have moved to cold climates to keep them cool, but that's not an option for everyone. Various methods are used to keep temperatures down in server racks. These include raised floors with cooling equipment beneath and cold aisle/hot aisle configurations. Whatever method is used it depends on air circulating around the server.
Accuride rack server slides allow for this. They allow you to comply with ANSI/EIA 568, previously known as TIA/EIA 568. If you want to know how Accuride Drawer Slides can help you comply with standards set by ANSI (American National Standards Institute), EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) or any other body, please contact our sales team.
There are industry standards covering the width of server housings. Most rack mount servers are 19 inches wide, meeting the EIA 310 standard. The height is 1.75 inches, but this is normally referred to as a U.
