D-Link Power Array Cabinet - Rack Mountable

The D-Link Power Array Cabinet is a purpose-built, rack-mountable enclosure designed to organize and protect critical network gear, servers, and power distribution in data centers, server rooms, and network closets. Built for reliability and easy maintenance, this cabinet combines sturdy steel construction with thoughtful design features to optimize cooling, accessibility, and cable management. It’s the ideal solution for IT departments seeking a compact, secure, and scalable housing for their 19-inch equipment, offering clean aesthetics, durable performance, and seamless integration into existing rack setups. With a focus on airflow, security, and flexible configuration, the Power Array Cabinet helps keep equipment running at peak efficiency while reducing maintenance time and risk of downtime.

• Rugged, rack-mountable design: Engineered as a sturdy 19-inch rack enclosure, the Power Array Cabinet provides a secure and stable home for servers, switches, storage devices, and power distribution units. Its robust frame is designed to handle the weight and daily wear of active IT equipment, ensuring long-term performance in busy network environments.
• Flexible mounting and compatibility: Featuring standard 19-inch mounting rails with adjustable depth options, this cabinet accommodates a wide range of equipment depths and layouts. It’s suitable for consolidating multiple devices into a single, space-efficient footprint, making setup and future expansion straightforward.
• Optimized cooling and airflow: The cabinet is designed with ventilation in mind, including vented doors and rear panels that promote healthy airflow around equipment. This helps reduce hotspots, improves thermal performance, and supports more reliable operation of hot-swapping components and densely packed racks.
• Secure access for sensitive hardware: Front and rear access panels are designed to be lockable, helping protect critical gear from tampering and unauthorized access. This feature is especially valuable in shared facilities and open office environments where security is a priority.
• Comprehensive cable management: Built-in cable management channels and orderly routing options help you keep power and data cables neatly organized. Proper cable management not only improves airflow but also simplifies maintenance and upgrades by reducing tangles and accidental unplugging during service.

How to install D-Link Power Array Cabinet

• Plan your rack space and determine the equipment layout. Identify which devices will reside in the cabinet and where power distribution, cooling, and patch panels will be placed to optimize airflow and accessibility.
• Install the mounting rails inside the cabinet. Use the included hardware to secure rails at the appropriate depth, ensuring they are level and properly aligned to support the 19-inch equipment you plan to mount.
• Mount your devices onto the rails. Attach servers, switches, storage units, and PDUs to the rails with appropriate screws or fasteners, following the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight distribution and mounting style.
• Route power and data cables through the built-in channels and ensure clean, organized runs. Use cable ties or Velcro straps to secure cables without restricting airflow, keeping every connection accessible for future maintenance.
• Close the cabinet doors and secure locks. Verify that front and rear panels are properly closed and that any locking mechanisms are engaged. Test access to devices, confirm clearance for cooling paths, and perform a quick power-on check to ensure everything operates as expected.
