Adaptability

Reversible doors - In situations where it is desirable for the front door to open from the opposite side, doors can be detached and reversed.
Expansion - VX and VS Enclosures can be easily expanded upon to create complete rows of enclosures. Enclosures models that ship without side panels include hardware required to bolt to adjacent enclosures.

Compatiblity

Adjustable mounting depth - Vertical mounting rails are adjustable for equipment with various mounting depths.
Door ventilation exceeds 830 in2 (5355 cm2) - Adequate ventilation is required for proper operation of today's servers. NetShelter Enclosures include fully perforated front and rear doors to provide ample ventilation for servers and networking equipment. The perforation pattern provides 844 square inches of open area on the front door, exceeding requirements set forth by major server manufacturers. Although this ventilation pattern provides adequate cooling for most configurations, air-moving accessories such as the Schneider Electric Air Distribution Unit and Air Removal Unit are also available to support higher heat density applications.

Convenience

Numbered U positions - Rapid installation of rack mounted equipment.
Optimized width - NetShelter VS Enclosures are designed to align exactly on standard 24 inch and 600 mm wide floor tiles when bayed together.
Simple Selection - No need to spend hours choosing from and compiling dozens of part numbers to create a single enclosure. Schneider Electric has made it easy by handling the details and providing complete enclosures with single part numbers.
Ships fully assembled - NetShelter VS Enclosures ship fully assembled thereby increasing speed of deployment.
Rolls through a 7 foot doorway - APC has made installation fast and easy by designing the enclosure such that it rolls through standard 7 foot doorways. This feature does not apply to 47U versions.

Protection

Structural Stability - A proven frame design, heavy gauge mounting rails, and heavy-duty casters provide for 2000 lb (908 kg) static and dynamic load ratings.
Lockable doors and side panels - Front doors, rear doors, and side panels are lockable and accessible with a key provided with NetShelter Enclosures.

Safety

Protective grounding provisions - NetShelter VS Enclosures incorporate a series of ground studs within each enclosure, providing adequate means for grounding all loose sheet metal panels and/or internally rack-mounted equipment.
UBC Zone 4 stabilization provisions - NetShelter VS Enclosures are UBC (Uniform Building Code) Zone 4 compliant if used in conjunction with the APC bolt down bracket kit (part # AR8112BLK).

Serviceability

Split rear doors - Split rear doors improve access and serviceability to rear of rack mounted equipment. The split rear doors help to maximize floor space. Only 11 inches (279 mm) of clearance is required behind the enclosures to allow for door swing.
Quick release side panels - During installation and while conducting routine maintenance of installed equipment, it is often advantageous to remove the side panels. Quick release side panels allow for quick, easy access.
Quick release doors - During installation and while conducting routine maintenance of installed equipment, it is often advantageous to remove the enclosure doors. Quick release hinge pins allow for fast, easy access.
