Eaton recently unveiled their Heavy-Duty SmartRack® enclosure to help data center operators and IT managers accommodate the increasing needs of generative AI computing infrastructure in data centers. Features of the purpose-built enclosures include:
- Able to support larger, heavier AI servers and critical IT infrastructure with weight capacities up to 5,000 lb. (static).
- 54″ deep to house large AI servers along with high density rack power distribution units (PDUs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), cooling, cables and other accessories.
- The white color of the enclosures provides better visibility in high-density environments for equipment installation, maintenance and cable/port identification.
- Availability in a variety of models and specifications tailored for differing height, weight and depth requirements.
- The floor-standing heavy-duty enclosures are available in 42U, 45U and 48U models, with options for deep, extra-deep and/or wide enclosures. The extra-deep 54″ options support AI servers that do not fit in standard enclosures, and wide options have side channels for accessory mounting, cable routing and airflow. The perforated front and split rear doors enable airflow through the rack.
- The enclosures can be fully populated with heavy servers and other critical IT equipment due to 5,000 lb. static/3,500 lb. dynamic weight capacities. The frame is 2.5 mm thick steel and has reinforced structural elements, and the enclosures feature upgraded casters and levelers that support the extra weight of AI servers.
