Description
NetBAY Rack Design Through Experience
NetBAY42 ER and EX products are 19-inch, 42 U rack cabinets designed to contain rack-mountable xSeries and Netfinity servers. They also support rack-mountable data storage devices, tape backup units, and communication devices associated with these servers.

These rack cabinets feature perforated-steel, front and rear doors to optimize cooling while maintaining security by lock and key. This is extremely important for applications where high-density appliances, or heat generating multiprocessor servers, are installed. Refer to the Planning Information section for important information about adding appropriate blank filler panels.

Cable management is easier through the design of a cable channel running from top to bottom.

The NetBAY42 ER and EX are new heavy-duty cabinets that share the same look and support many of the same options as the Netfinity Rack and Netfinity Enterprise Rack enclosures. As a result, when deploying both rack types throughout your enterprise, you will find it easier to order, configure, support, and service these units. Shared options include:

  • Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
  • Power distribution units
  • Power cables
  • Fixed shelf
  • Network Products Mounting Kit

These NetBAY42 ER and EX rack cabinets represent the culmination of years of experience and knowledge within IBM validated through customers and IBM Business Partners. They are designed to optimize:

  • Space
  • Cooling
  • Stability and mobility
  • Sharing of console devices
  • Ease of installation
  • Cable management
  • Low cost
  • Configuration flexibility
  • Safety
  • Power distribution
  • Option support

Cost-effective Configuration Flexibility
The NetBAY42 ER and NetBAY42 EX are full-sized, rack solutions that provide additional depth to handle new enterprise requirements. Typical applications include:

  • Support for "deep." servers and better cable management
  • Server consolidation
  • High-availability, clustering of server nodes
  • I/S centralization/control

Multiple NetBAY42 ER and NetBAY42 EX cabinets can be installed side-by-side to support your expanding business requirements. These units bolt together to form multi-rack suites to efficiently handle clustering or server consolidation requirements.

To make it easier to install and configure your NetBAY42 ER and EX rack cabinets, we have created a handy NetBAY Rack Configurator program. This Microsoft Windows -based application helps you with:

  • Component selection
  • Installation planning
  • Device placement
  • Cable management
  • Configuration validation

Warranty
3 year Limited

Compatibility
In addition to the products listed under the Hardware Requirements section, the NetBAY42 ER and EX support the following previously announced rack options:

  • Rack Keyboard Tray (28L4707)
  • Blank Filler Panel Kit (94G6670)
  • Monitor Compartment (94G7444)
  • Console Server Selector Switch (8-port) (94G7445)
  • Console Server Selector Switch (4-port) (28L0542)
  • Network Products Mounting Kit (85H6735)
  • Fixed Shelf (94G7442)
  • Console Cable Set (94G7447)
  • Power Cable Type A14 (94G6667)
  • Power Cable Type B14 (94G6668)
  • Power Cable Type C12 (94G7448)
  • Power Cable Type D12 (94G7449)
  • 100 to 120 V Power Distribution Unit (94G6666)
  • 200 to 240 V Power Distribution Unit (94G7450)

Limitations
When servicing or sliding devices out of the NetBAY42 ER or EX, the front stabilizer plate must be used in accordance with the instructions included in the installation/safety publications.

Planning Information
Blank Filler Panel Requirements: Blank filler panels, available in the Blank Filler Panel Kit (94G6670), should be used to fill all open spaces in the rack to allow adequate cooling of servers and options.

Additional Cable Orders Required
Cabling requirements are dependent upon the devices installed in the NetBAY42 ER cabinets.

Installation Information
Approximate installation time is 30 minutes.

The basic rack cabinet is preassembled and shipped on a pallet. On its casters the NetBAY42 ER and EX can be rolled through standard doors as low as 2032 mm (80 inches) high. By removing the top section of the cabinet, it can be moved through doorways as small as 1083 mm (71 inches) high. Upgrades to individual servers or equipment can be accomplished without disrupting other systems housed within the same rack cabinet.

A loaded NetBAY42 ER or EX can weigh up to 997 kg (2175 LB) on its casters, but can be relocated within a room or building using specific precautions. These precautions are detailed in the Rack Relocation Guidelines included with the rack enclosure.

Air Flow and Service Space
To obtain proper air flow and allow for servicing of internal devices, the following installation clearances are required:

 
Front
Rear
Service
1524 mm (60 in)
762 mm (30 in)
Operational
914 mm (36 in)
660 mm (26 in)

Power Distribution and Control: The NetBAY42 ER and EX support two power distribution solutions, one for environments requiring 120 V service and the other for environments requiring 240 V service.

Power can be distributed across adjacent rack cabinets in a rack suite; however, the power needs of each specific rack cabinet configuration and your power facility should dictate the selection of these power options. It is a customer's responsibility to provide the appropriate emergency power-off controls at the power source. Equipment with switchable power supplies must be set to the appropriate voltage range. Refer to the NetBAY Rack Configurator, previously mentioned, for more information about power distribution planning.
