BladeVault™ Click here... Rack Planning Guidelines for ServerVaultâ„¢(Click here for BladeVault Rack planning guidelines) Avoid clustering hot-running devices such as servers, dense RAID arrays and large VoIP switches in one part of the rack. Distribute the thermal load evenly up and down the rack such that each Kell ServerVaultâ„¢ fan module supports an equal amount of the thermal load, or as close to it as possible. The cabinet shown in this example is the model PSE24, which has 2 x fan modules. Models PSE12 and PSE18 each have 1 x fan module, and model PSE38 has 3 x fan modules.
Each ServerVaultâ„¢ fan module has a triangular metal section protruding slightly into the cabinet (please also see side section drawings). This does not create an issue for installation of most equipment, but to allow for ample cabling space to the rear, deep servers are generally best installed in the rack spaces above and below these triangular metal protrusions.
When the optional baying kit is used to link ServerVault together, the rear sections of the cabinets are open to each other as shown here.
When installing hardware in bayed ServerVault, distribute hot-running devices evenly between the cabinets as shown. Also see notes in figure 1 above.

What They Say About Us Very tight for space in our office, I have two people working in the same room as our computer servers. The new Kell System cabinet has eliminated all high frequency server noise and all we can hear are the low frequency fans. Kind of like the noise of our office central a/c system, nothing more or worse. This is a small room, we have no issue with sound since this cabinet arrived. The build quality is amazing. Michael J. Kravit, AIA, NCARB, RA "When you take into account the cost of demountable partitioning and installing dedicated air conditioning, plus the hardware cost of basic data racks, we estimate that by using Kell's quiet enclosures we save approximately 59% per site, and that’s before taking into account the reduced floor space costs," said Peter Morris, Head of Towergate's property management unit. He adds "We have deployed several of these already and we're exceptionally impressed with the cooling system and the noise reduction performance. We haven't looked back on the decision." “The soundproofing is so effective that we have staff working just 2 metres away from the fully configured server installation. The server cabinet runs very quietly and looks great, the staff don’t even notice it’s there.” says Marin Cragg, Head of Networking for the National School of Government. |
