Easy Access, Vented Top Panel with Cable Ports and Convenient Assembly

The SR42UBKD is designed to provide a safe, secure installation solution for mission-critical rackmount equipment. It features locking, reversible, removable front and rear doors, perforated to promote efficient airflow, and locking, removable side panels. Locking doors and side panels prevent unauthorized access to installed equipment while making it easy for IT personnel to perform inspections, maintenance and equipment replacement. The side panels are half size (two per side) for ease of removal and reinstallation. The split rear door design reduces clearance requirements for service access, allowing the enclosure to be placed closer to a wall.

The top panel of the SR42UBKD is furnished with vents designed to help remove warm air from the enclosure and draw in cool air by convection. It also supports installation of standard user-supplied case fans. The top panel is provided with ports for cable routing, and is designed for quick, toolless removal with no need to disconnect cables. The SR42UBKD is designed with an open bottom to facilitate cable access.

To simplify deployment, the SR42UBKD ships as a disassembled kit. This allows for transportation through elevators, doorways, stairs and other confined spaces before assembling the enclosure for easy positioning. Assembly is simple and all of the necessary hardware is included. Once assembled, the enclosure is identical to Tripp Lite's standard SR42UB rack.

Optimized for Datacenter Applications and Simple Equipment Installation

The SR42UBKD is optimized for data center and other high-density IT applications. Its massive front-to rear-ventilation capacity meets or exceeds server manufacturer requirements. It features integrated baying tabs that make it easy to combine multiple enclosures in rows for data center applications. This enclosure is also 100% compatible with today's state-of-the-art hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center configurations.

The SR42UBKD is compatible with all standard 19-inch rack equipment. It features front and rear pairs of vertical rails with square mounting holes. The rails are adjustable in quarter-inch increments to accommodate equipment depths from 4 to 42 inches. Adjustment is quick and convenient—simply unscrew the rails, slide them to the desired depth and restore the screws. The rails feature square mounting holes and are capable of supporting up to 3000 pounds of equipment with included installation hardware. Each rack space within the enclosure is numbered for ready reference.

The SR42UBKD features two adjustable vertical mounting rails that support toolless button-mount 0U installation of compatible PDUs and cable managers. Each rail can accommodate two vertical PDUs or cable managers side by side, for a total of four units per enclosure. These vertical mounting rails make it easier to route power and cabling to installed rack equipment. They also reduce cord and cable clutter that could block airflow through the enclosure.

All components of the SR42UBKD are grounded to the enclosure frame. Front and rear threaded grounding points are provided for connection to the facility earth ground. The removable front and rear doors feature quick-release ground wires.
