Server racks
Floor-standing 19-inch racks for servers and storage, with perforated doors for front-to-back airflow.
A server rack carries the heaviest, hottest equipment in the room, so it has to do three things well: hold the load without going out of square, let air pass straight from the cold aisle through the servers, and leave enough depth at the rear for power and cabling.
We fabricate server racks at our Hadapsar works to the height, width and depth your equipment needs. Our own team installs them, baying racks into rows, levelling them and fitting containment where required.
Where it is used
- Data halls and colocation suites
- Enterprise server rooms
- Storage and hyperconverged clusters
- Edge and branch computing rooms
- Test and lab environments
What to specify
The decisions that set the size and price. Answer what you can; we fill the gaps at survey.
- Height (U)
- Count the rack units of everything you plan to install, then leave 20–30% spare for growth, patching and blanking. Check the overall height clears cable trays, containment roofs and sprinkler heads.
- Width
- 600 mm suits most server rows and lines up with a 600 mm raised-floor tile. Choose 800 mm where a rack carries heavy cabling: the extra width takes vertical cable managers and 0U PDUs.
- Depth
- Measure the deepest server including its rails, then allow room behind it for power cords, cable arms and rear-mounted PDUs. Current servers usually need 1000–1200 mm.
- Load
- Total the equipment weight per rack. Check the static rating, and the rolling rating if racks will be moved loaded, and confirm the floor or raised-floor tiles can take the point loads.
- Doors & airflow
- Servers breathe front to back, so specify perforated front and rear doors with a high open area, and blank every empty U so air cannot short-circuit around the equipment.
- Power & cable entry
- Tell us how many PDUs, single- or three-phase, and whether cables arrive overhead or from under the floor. Roof and base entries, brush seals and PDU mounting are placed to suit.
- Security
- Key locks suit most private rooms. Combination or electronic handles suit shared and colocation spaces where access has to be controlled per rack.

What is the difference between a server rack and a network cabinet?
A server rack is built for depth, weight and front-to-back airflow, so it is usually 1000 mm deep or more with perforated doors. A network cabinet carries lighter switching and patching with far more cables, so it is often 800 mm wide for cable managers and may have a glass door. We make both.
Can you match the racks already in our row?
Send the dimensions, door type, colour and a photo of the existing racks, or we can measure them during the site survey. We will quote racks to the same footprint and height so the row stays straight and containment can run across it.
Do you install the racks as well?
Yes. Our own installation team positions, levels and bays the racks, fits doors, panels and accessories, and can run the structured cabling during the same works.
What do you need from us to quote?
Quantity, the height, width and depth you need (or the equipment list), door and lock preferences, and the site location. A floor plan or photos of the room let us quote installation at the same time.
