HP Rack Cabinets

Jacques Carriere — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 18:35:47 GMT

Does anyone know the difference between the following racks
(10000 G2 series) 10642 42U (AF001A,AF002A,AF003A)
What I'm looking for is a rack 60cm x 100cm x 200cm and all 3 models appears to be the same.
( aprox. 24 x 40 x 76 inches)

The reason I'm posting this here is because I can't find the specs and HP is not getting back to me.

thanks

Jacques

Jacques,

The three models vary depending on how it is shipped to your site - namely on a pallet or crate. Look at the quickspecs for more info. From my experience, the rack is partly assembled but it has to be unpacked by you (or the shipper if he's in a good mood) before being rolled up to your data center.

Also be careful if you're ordering them with built-in power distribution units, as they have different plug options, and some are intended to be hardwired.

Good luck

I thought the previous post linked to the quickspecs but it doesn't, here is the exact link: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12402_na/12402_na.html

Hi,
In fact, the 3 models are the same.
In the bulletin spec
10642 G2 (42U) Rack Cabinet - Pallet AF001A
10642 G2 (42U) Rack Cabinet - Shock Pallet AF002A
10642 G2 (42U) Rack Cabinet - Crated AF003A
So better to see the additionnal details to understand what is this shipment difference.
Look here for example

Hope it helps

I understand there is no difference in the rack itself except for the way it is shipped.

merci Smatador / Olivier
