<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Completely dependant on the equipment that’s
being installed… We have a cabinet which has heat problems with big
extraction fans in the top (Its in a non air-conned room), The server that does
most of the of the work, we’ve left 2RU either side of it to improve air
flow, and placed it close to the top, in the hope that its heat production goes
straight out the top of the cabinet.. Its worked through two summers so far so
we’re happy with it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>On the other hand, the 42RU cabinet we’ve
got here at the office, we’ve got out krone panels and pbx phone system
in the same rack, because they take up a fair amount of space (purely Vertical
RU wise) we’ve placed them up the top of the cabinet near the switches
and router, and all the servers (6 x 4RU cases) are placed at the bottom going
upwards, from top priority down to bottom (depending on ones that need the most
access), in this case the tape backup machine/file server.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Really its situation permitting. If you
were worried about heat production and ducting and the case wasn’t going to
be filled you could place all servers at least 1RU apart… Leave the doors
off maybe?? :P<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

slotting in the cases, etc are there certain ways of building that should be

Or is it simply a matter of just slotting things into the rack and you're
done....<br>
