How is power managed within the Precision Rack 1000

PR1000 uses two 120Volt, 12Amp AC power cords. Each power cord is protected by a 12Amp circuit breaker inside the cabinet. This means that a customer can install equipment that will use only 12Amps of current or less. Two fully-loaded Density chassis can be mounted in the bottom of the PR1000 and third-party rackmount equipment (not to exceed 4Amps) can be mounted in the top space of the cabinet.

Where in the PR1000 should I place the 1U rack mount keyboard and mouse tray?

Place the keyboard and mouse tray above the second Density space.

How are these cabinets shipped?

The PR cabinets are shipped fully assembled.

What is the purpose of the ethernet patch panel?

Density systems are capable of supporting from 8 to 16 separate ethernet connections (one or two per single board computer times as many as 8 servers). The ethernet patch panel is used to organize the cable connections from the ethernet hub or switch to the connections on each single board computer.

How sturdy is the Precision Rack?

Extremely sturdy. Unlike many racks on the market that look delicate and feel flimsy, Precision Racks are incredibly solid, featuring 14 gauge steel construction. The removable side panels are lightweight, magnetically latched and extremely easy to remove and replace.

What accessories are available for the cabinet?

The Precision Rack is configured more completely than many other rack cabinet products. It includes many items that are listed as options by other manufacturers such as dual high powered fans, internal wiring distribution, rear locking door, KVM breakout box, side panels, and power distribution blocks. A list of accessories includes a slide-out keyboard/mouse tray, fixed shelving, easy-roll casters, filler panels, ethernet patch panel, and a ventilated front door.

What is the KVM breakout box used for?

The KVM breakout box is where you connect your keyboard, video and mouse. A cable for keyboard, video and mouse signals runs from the video out connector on the back of the Density system to the KVM breakout box which is mounted on the rear RETMA rail within the Precision Rack cabinet.

Where do I mount my monitor?

A standard low cost monitor can be mounted on Precision Rack 1000’s reinforced roof plate, which has a hole to route monitor cables to the interior of the cabinet.

Can I use a Precision Rack 1000 without a Density System inside?

Of course. Precision Rack 1000 conforms to RETMA standards and can house 3^rd party rack mount equipment.

What third-party rack mount equipment is supported by Precision Rack 1000?

Almost any equipment that can fit and function within a standard 19-inch rack will work well within a Precision Rack. External storage units, rackmount tape backup units, ethernet switches, hubs and so on are examples of industry standard rack mount equipment.
