Rackmount Case Accessories

Kell Cabinet Baying Kit

Kell 19-inch Cabinet Baying Kit. Image shows rackmount parts necessary to join two Kell data cabinets together side-by-side.This kit allows adjacent Kell PSE cabinets to be joined together side-by-side (bayed) without compromising the noise reduction levels. The bayed rack cabinets remain open to each other internally towards the rear of each cabinet to help facilitate networking/cabling between the cabinets. Note that baying data cabinets together reduces the maximum recommended thermal load per cabinet by approx. 20%. The thermal load of rackmount equipment should be distributed evenly between bayed cabinets (that is, do not put all high-thermal load equipment in one cabinet and cooler equipment in the other). If you have any questions please call us for more details, and we will be happy to answer any queries.

Please specify the size of the Kell PSE when ordering the Cabinet Baying Kit. Product Codes are: 12U KELL-BK12, 18U KELL-BK18, 24U KELL-BK24, 38U KELL-BK38U.

Kell Dust Filter Kit

Kell 19-inch Cabinet Dust Filter Kit. Image shows the dust ingress filter fitted (in situ) to the lower side air intake of a Kell PSE Data Cabinet. The dust filter helps to protect 19in rackmount equipment inside the enclosure from harmful dust ingress.This kit includes removable, washable air dust filters for all Kell PSE cabinet air intakes. These filters trap unwanted dust and debris at the point of entry into the front of the rackmount cabinet.

A reduced dust environment for rackmount equipment will help to maintain equipment cooling performance, and reduce downtime due to moving part failures. The filters are easy to retrofit to an existing cabinet, and no tools are required. Note that regular monitoring and cleaning (as necessary) of the filters is necessary to maintain adequate airflow through the Kell data cabinet.

Please specify the size of the Kell PSE when ordering the Dust Filter Kit. Product Codes are: 12U KELL-DF12, 18U KELL-DF18, 24U KELL-DF24, 38U KELL-DF38U.

 

Reviews & Feedback

Review on the Kell Systems sound proof rackmount cabinet range Server Management Article "Turn it Down", January 2007.

"While I was being shown the cabinets ... I received a call on my mobile phone. At this point the doors were open ... I couldn't hear a word the caller was saying. When the doors were closed, I could hear the call clearly.

"By my estimate, the cabinets reduce the level of noise to that of the ambient noise of a quiet office." Click here to view PDF [full article]
