Collection: Rack Accessories

If you are getting involved in the world of IT, then you need to have a good server rack to manage all your IT equipment. But a bare server rack won’t do for this type of job, especially if a lot of people depend on your IT work. You need to have accessories for your IT rack in order to service everyone and keep things running smoothly. Here are some of the key must-haves to look for when you buy IT Rack accessories.

Accessories You Need

A Power Strip With Surge Protection

While a service rack will give you the power you need to crunch data or make computations 24/7, you need to make sure that all of that material is protected. A surge protector will ensure that your rack and all that is connected to it will be safe from power problems and potential fires. Plus you can very easily mount the power strip on your rack for ease of use and to keep it out of the way.

Blanking Panels

You will want to keep everything cool that is attached to your service rack, and if it has any empty slots then you need to use blanking panels to manage the airflow. They will help keep the cold and the hot air separated and also allow the hot air from the server to be contained in the back.

Ventilation Fans

Finally, once you have all of that hot air contained, then you can break up any hot spots that might form by adding ventilation fans, which will push the cold air toward the hotspot while maintaining the distance between the cold and the hot air. Having both blanking panels and ventilation fans will ensure that your server rack is at the correct temperature for your IT needs.
