Choosing Between a Rack and a Cabinet
The Sun Fire V100 server can be installed in either a rack or a cabinet. Factors that
might influence your decision include:
■
Security
If other people have access to the room in which your servers are located, you can
increase security by locking the servers in a cabinet.
■
Thermal issues
Cabinets often require additional fans, because the systems installed in them
generate heat in an enclosed space. Two-post racks, however, may require no
special cooling systems.
■
Flooring
Two-post telco relay racks are designed so that cables can be run overhead.
Cabinets often require cables to be run under the floor.
