How to install APC Shielding Partition Solid 600mm wide Black
Prepare your workspace by powering down equipment and ensuring the rack is accessible from the front and rear. Gather the mounting hardware appropriate for your enclosure and confirm compatibility with your 19" rack system. Align the shielding partition with the rack rails, taking care to position it to maximize cable routing channels and minimize obstruction to airflow. Attach the partition using the provided brackets or standard rack screws, tightening evenly to avoid warping or misalignment. Once secured, route power and data cables along designated pathways, keeping high- and low-signal cables separated when possible to optimize shielding performance. Finally, perform a quick functional check by powering up devices and verifying that cables are unobstructed, properly seated, and that there is no undue strain on any connectors. Periodically inspect the partition for loose fasteners and clean the surface to maintain its protective finish and shielding effectiveness.
- Step 1: Confirm rack compatibility and prepare mounting hardware appropriate for your 19" enclosure.
- Step 2: Align the partition with rack rails, ensuring the 600 mm width covers the desired cable bundles without impeding access to front or rear panels.
- Step 3: Attach with brackets or screws, tightening gradually and evenly to prevent bending or misalignment.
- Step 4: Route cables along the partition’s pathways, keeping power and data runs separate where feasible to preserve shielding benefits.
- Step 5: Power on equipment and verify clearance, airflow, and shielding performance; perform periodic maintenance checks to maintain optimal results.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: Is the APC Shielding Partition compatible with all 19" rack systems? A: It is designed for standard 19" rack installations and APC enclosures. Always verify mounting depth and hole configuration for your specific cabinet before installation.
- Q: Does the partition come with mounting hardware included? A: Hardware availability varies by product packaging. If hardware is not included, standard rack brackets and screws compatible with your enclosure should be suitable for installation.
- Q: Will this partition improve EMI shielding in a busy data center? A: Yes, the shielding partition helps reduce electromagnetic interference between adjacent cables and components, contributing to more stable data transmission and network performance in dense rack environments.
- Q: Can I use this partition with non-APC enclosures? A: The partition is designed for APC systems and compatible 19" racks; verify physical fit and mounting compatibility with any non-APC enclosure before purchasing.
- Q: How do I maintain the partition over time? A: Regularly inspect mounting hardware for tightness, wipe down the surface to remove dust and oils, and ensure cables remain properly routed to preserve both airflow and shielding effectiveness.
