What order do components get stacked in a server rack?
I'm new here, haha! At my office we have one dell server rack, 3 poweredge servers, 2 APC UPS, a spam filter, a raid drive rack, a tape drive rack... We have hubs, firewall, switches and modem on the wall nearby that I wouldn't mind moving into the rack. My question is what is the optimum order of stacking things, in a general sense, and when should I and shouldn't I have gaps.
I'm hoping to read a simple answer like: Stacking - put all UPS on bottom, then servers, then drives, then switches... Cooling - put gaps between servers and UPS or UPS and drives, do not put gaps between servers and servers or UPS and UPS...
Thanks in advance
The above answers are great answers as it is typically person preference.
Our typical setup on a rack for a small business is:
TOP
Patch Panel
Cable Management
Switch
Servers
Storage Devices
Firewall
Router
UPS
BOTTOM
We always put the UPS on the bottom as it is usually the heaviest. This is just kind of our method, mainly because it's always been the most logical for us. Starting at the top you have your core network and as you move down you get closer to the "edge", being the Internet (with exception to your UPS).
If the rack is for a small office generally we leave 1U or so between just for added airflow. Make sure the rack is not totally up against a wall in the rear or sides so you get good airflow around it.
We pack equipment tight if it is in a controlled room simply because the climate always stays perfect for everything, and you can leave no spaces if you want to go that route but the important thing is to make sure you have proper airflow around the rack as all of the fans in your devices will be on the sides, front, and rear.
Sounds like you have a pretty nice setup. Good luck, and if you have any more questions feel free to post them
