Hi,

we are trying to put all our rack-mountable Sun hardware (220R, 2x280R,
D1000 and one E450) in a rack enclosure (to improve the look of our machine
room :-) and to utilise more that 8 ports terminal server), but I have no
idea what are the recommended racks. There are some requirements specified
in the server documentation (and on sunsolve) about load bearing, vertical
space and bunch of other requirements, but I have no ideas about the
models, prices etc.

Does anybody have any recommendation for a budged-aware customers?

Thanks and bye, Dragan

That rules out Sharkrack and Sun branded ones, then. :-)

We used APC racks where I used to work, and they worked quite well.

Thanks Rich. Just went to APC and tried to configure a rack and got the
"The NetShelter Configurator is currently only available to 'Internet
Explorer' users. We appologise for any inconvenience.

Oh well. Good start, eh?

Bye, Dragan

A typical Sun 72" rack would be fine to put together all of your system.

Sun has its own rack it for most of Rack mountable machine as like E450,
SF280R, E220/E420R.

You can check it out from sun web site at
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub to find out which individual
Rack it is necessary for your own machine.
Shack Rack is one of them as well.

Yeah. :-( Clearly, APC don't want to sell to people with a brain.

Has anyone had any luck/experience with either of these two outfits?

If any Seattle area folks happen to be reading, if there somewhere local
you use for rack systems so you can touch the stuff before you buy?

Thanks,
