Server Rack Configuration and Cable Management Best Practices

 For a streamlined and efficient data centre, it is essential to manage server racks and cables. There are several points we can keep in mind to maintain the server racks cables:

Managing your space:

  • Right-sized racks: without risking the equipment, make sure you are buying the correct sized racks to protect your equipment.
  • Always use small-gauge cables; it will allow more airflow.
  • Use zero U cable organizers:
  • Use vertical cable management so it can help you in saving the side space around the racks.
  • Always avoid disorganized racks. During the repair time, most of the time is utilized in untangles the cable and arranging the server racks. It is essential to set the racks in a definite pattern so you can use them without any trouble.
  • The hanging cables have a high probability of breaking down, and they can cause a lot of disruptions in the working area. It is essential to have an effective cable management system.
  • For an effective data centre, labelling is one of the most effective methods. The labelling procedure includes: using permanent labels, labels at both ends of the cable, a standard nomenclature that could be understood by everyone, keeping records and colour-coding of the labels. The colour coded labels help you identify the type of cable effortlessly, making it easy for the person to come for any repairs.
  • Check the airflow in the server systems. Constantly working server systems produce heat which can often lead to overheating of equipment. The heat can decrease the life span of the equipment. For reducing its impact, it is necessary to use a proper airflow system. The system can be maintained with the help of fans, coolers or air-conditioning systems.
  • It is also essential to have regular inceptions of the server rooms. To check whether the equipment is working correctly and if they need any repair.
  • An automatic remote system can help maintain the cables; the damage can be detected even before any human can read it.
  • Always choose high-grade server racks and cabinets. Netrack provides a wide range of server racks and cables management racks for distinct industrial requirements. If you want any further information, you can visit the following site:
