How much equipment can an Armarac system hold?
Each Vertiblade hinging system accommodates five 19-inch 1U full-length devices (maximum length 30in/75cm) or 2U equivalent plus an additional 1U half-length device (maximum length 14in/35cm).
Where can Armarac units be mounted?
Anywhere with sufficient wall space! Required air space over the floor is less than 4.75ft²/0.44m². Wall space required is 28in/71cm wide and 68in/172cm high. A load-bearing wall is required to bolt directly to it. The Armarac Floor Stand is available for use where no load-bearing surface is available.
How difficult is installation? How long does it take?
Installation is simple. The only tools required are a drill, wrench, and screwdriver. Typical installation of the Armarac enclosure and all equipment is complete in less than two hours.
How noisy is an operational Armarac system?
Nominal noise output is a 53dBa @ 6½ft (2.0m) with the internal ventilation fans running. Some servers with loud fans may raise this level.
How is equipment serviced?
The Vertiblade hinging system enables technicians to access and remove the top panel of any installed device without dismounting any components or cables.
How hot does it get inside an Armarac enclosure?
Armarac systems are capable of sustaining a front to back temperature variation of less than 18 °F (10°C). Total heat output will vary depending on installed equipment.
How do Armarac units keep their cool?
Internal fans are able to cool most loads if the room ambient temperature is under 82°F (28°C). The optional active cooling unit is recommended for heavy electrical loads or high-temperature environments.
Can I swap 1U and 2U equipment after initial installation?
Yes. Vertiblade kits are available to convert two x 1U to one x 2U.
Can Armarac systems be combined in multiples?
Yes. Two or more Armarac units can be wall-mounted and teamed up together with an available kit to share the KVM/LCD module and the remote monitoring and command control unit.
