Five key points to help you stay away from inferior cabinets and chassis
Choosing the right chassis cabinet starts with quality. The quality of the manufacturing process directly affects the quality of the chassis and cabinets. Poor quality chassis will have steel plate edges without burrs, sharp edges, burrs, and other phenomena, and the exposed corners have not been folded, which can easily scratch the hands of the installer. In addition, the positioning of each card slot in a high-quality cabinet is relatively accurate, and there will be no issues such as parts not being installed properly or being misplaced.
So, how to choose a high-quality chassis cabinet? Here are a few points shared by Beijing Times Will Technology Co., Ltd., which specializes in sheet metal products such as cabinets, computer cases, operation consoles, monitoring consoles, server cabinets, TV walls, outdoor waterproof boxes, monitoring boxes, and monitoring poles:
Look at the material. The selection varies depending on the material of the cabinet. Generally speaking, sheet metal chassis cabinets are the choice of most people. When choosing this type of chassis, the steel plate must be thick. Only a solid casing can provide protection for the board, power supply, and storage devices, while also preventing pressure, impact, dust, and electromagnetic interference and radiation, playing a role in shielding electromagnetic radiation. In addition, the sheet metal cabinet also provides easy-to-use panel switch indicator lights, which are more convenient for microcomputer operation and observation of microcomputer operation.
Take a second look at the architecture layout. Due to the large amount of heat generated at the rear of the equipment, more cabinet baffles should be selected, and there should be heat dissipation holes. At the same time, side wall fans should be installed on the back wall of the cabinet. There should also be iron sheet edging to secure the cables, which can prevent damage to the cables.
Check the accessories three times. Because installation includes network cables, telecommunications cables, and power cables, it is necessary to purchase hook and loop or toothed straps to effectively secure the cables in an orderly manner inside the cabinet. If the cabinet is equipped with a cable management module that allows cables to be directly fixed in the vertical installation track, it would be great.
Look at the four functions. Consider whether it is safe.
Pay attention to heat dissipation. Firstly, it is necessary to estimate the amount of heat generated by the equipment. Generally speaking, having two to four fans on the top of the cabinet is sufficient, but the more the better.
