With multiple power levels, rack mounted power boards distribute power from available power sources, ensuring crucial backup power delivery during a power outage, power surge, or fluctuation in power supply.

A rack mount power board is essential for server rooms and data centres for the smooth operation of critically demanding industries such as healthcare, finance, retail, manufacturing, transport, and telecommunications.

For multiple pieces of hardware and equipment, or if lack of space is a concern, rack mounted power supply is a great option.  

When looking for a mount power supply for your business, you should strongly consider factors such as:

• The specific power protection requirements of your business or industry.
• The space available for server racks, the existing environment, and the level of accessibility - for straightforward installations, maintenance, and cooling/ventilation conditions.
• Whether you need a mount power supply that offers scalability, flexibility, or portability.
• Aesthetics - if you want a setup that is going to integrate seamlessly with your office interior.
• Any additional security features that will be required. 

Different mount power supply products offer key features, so you may want to list down what it is you need in your mount power supply, and our 4Cabling team can assist you to choose the most suitable rack mount. 

• Ensure that your power supply can handle the load and will distribute power to all equipment and devices.
• Check the rack mounts are level and secured before installing equipment.
• Distribute weight evenly - bulkier items should go on the lower racks and centred.  
• Check AC input power - if you’re unsure, use the maximum rated input current.
• Provide proper cooling management to avoid overheating.
• Any equipment that gets hot shouldn’t be placed on top of each other - you may need to distance heat-sensitive devices.
• Be mindful of the cable management - there should be no tangling or the possibility that ventilation or cooling could be obstructed.

Power components can wear out over time, so they will need to be replaced. To save yourself the hassle, you should always: 

• Choose high-quality power supplies - larger units also tend to have a longer life expectancy.
• Look at the efficiency rating and aim for a high power efficiency rating.
• Avoid overloading the power supply - to do this you will need to calculate the total power consumption of all the devices that will be connected to the power supply and from there choose the correct wattage rating.

Other tips for extending the lifespan of your mount power supply, include:

• Maintain a stable temperature by  providing enough space around the power supply unit for proper air circulation.    
• Clean away dust build-up regularly - set a routine if needed (at least every 3 months but more frequently if the environment is dust prone).
• Integrate a good quality surge protector as an additional layer of protection on your hardware and valuable electronic devices.  
• Keep the cables as uncluttered as possible - cable ties (or the equivalent) will help to organise and secure cables and cords.  
• Regularly inspect components of the power supply and replace worn components when  required.
