APC NetShelter SX Wide Perforated Curved Door

Engineered for demanding data-center environments, the APC NetShelter SX Wide Perforated Curved Door is a crucial upgrade for tall, high-density server cabinets. This door combines a perforated panel with a curved design to maximize airflow while preserving a clean, professional appearance in any data room. Specifically designed for NetShelter SX enclosures, the wide door provides expansive access for cable management, servicing, and equipment upgrades, helping technicians work more efficiently in tight spaces. The durable black finish resists dust, humidity, and routine cleaning, ensuring long-term performance in rugged data-center conditions. The curved geometry reduces turbulence inside the cabinet, supporting more uniform cooling across dense server and storage deployments and contributing to lower inlet temperatures for critical equipment. By facilitating optimized hot-aisle or cold-aisle configurations, this door helps data centers achieve higher uptime and improved energy efficiency without sacrificing accessibility or aesthetics. Whether you’re upgrading a single rack or outfitting a large cabinet row, the NetShelter SX Wide Perforated Curved Door delivers a reliable combination of airflow, durability, and ease of use that IT teams rely on every day.

How to install APC NetShelter SX Wide Perforated Curved Door

• Confirm that your cabinet is an APC NetShelter SX enclosure and verify that the door size matches the enclosure specifications (85.9" H x 23.6" W x 1.4" D).
• Prepare the enclosure by removing the existing door if necessary and inspecting mounting points for wear or damage; ensure all mounting hardware is available and compatible with the NetShelter SX frame.
• With the cabinet closed and secured, align the door hinges with the corresponding mounting holes on the frame; begin with the top hinge to establish proper swing direction and alignment.
• Insert the hinge screws and tighten gradually, alternating between screws to keep the door frame square and prevent binding; check that the panel seats evenly within the frame and that the curved perforated surface remains accessible for airflow.
• Open and close the door to verify smooth operation, proper alignment, and consistent contact along the frame; if necessary, adjust hinge tension or shims to achieve optimal clearance and airflow without rubbing.
• Test access and clearance for cables, PDUs, and other components behind the door; verify that the door does not impede any mounted devices and that airflow paths remain unobstructed.
• Complete the installation by cleaning any fingerprints or smudges from the surface and performing a final functional check to confirm that the door opens, closes, and latches reliably in daily use.
