Server Rack Installation and Network Closet Build-Outs

A rack is where the network, the servers and the power all meet, and a messy one turns every change into an outage risk. RHC plans, installs and dresses server racks and network cabinets, from a single wall-mount cabinet in a branch office to the main distribution frame of a multi-floor building.

The challenges

  • Closets that grew without a plan, with unlabeled cables nobody wants to touch.
  • Equipment that does not fit: rack depth, rail type and weight were never checked.
  • Power and cooling sized for a few devices, now feeding a full rack of switches and servers.
  • No grounding or bonding, which puts equipment and warranty claims at risk.
  • Changes that have to happen without taking the office offline.

How we do it

  1. 1Site survey: room dimensions, floor load, power, cooling, existing equipment and the cable paths that feed the closet.
  2. 2Rack design: rack or cabinet type, elevation drawing (what goes in which U), patch panel and cable manager layout.
  3. 3Installation: assembly, anchoring, grounding and bonding, PDUs and UPS placement, rails and shelves.
  4. 4Equipment mounting: servers, switches, firewalls and storage racked with front-to-back airflow in mind.
  5. 5Cable dressing: patch cords cut to length, routed through horizontal and vertical managers and secured with hook-and-loop ties.
  6. 6Labeling and documentation: every port, panel and cable labeled, with a rack elevation and port map handed over.

Frequently asked questions

Either. We can specify and supply the rack, cabinet, managers and PDUs, or install equipment you already bought after checking that it fits the room and the devices.
