42U server rack for converged systems

The APC NetShelter SX AR3100SP is a 42U enclosure built to integrate, transport and deploy fully converged IT systems. It suits data-centre managers who need a single cabinet that can be shipped fully populated. The black frame matches standard 19-inch equipment layouts. Supplied with shock-absorbing pallet and unloading ramp for safer handling.

Static and dynamic load performance

The cabinet carries a stationary weight capacity of 3006.31 lb and a rolling capacity of 2254.73 lb, allowing dense equipment to remain installed while the rack is moved. Shock packaging protects internal gear from transport vibration and impact. The 275.78 lb empty weight keeps the total shipment within the 2000 lb equipment rating. Structural testing validates the system for converged-system deployment.

19-inch standard limits

The enclosure conforms to the 19-inch rack width and provides 42U of vertical mounting space with a usable depth of 36.02 inches. Overall dimensions are 78.4 inches high, 23.6 inches wide and 42.1 inches deep. Equipment exceeding the 2000 lb payload or the 36.02 inch depth cannot be accommodated. No other mounting standards are supported.

Questions about this item

How much power does the AR3100SP draw when fully loaded and running continuously?

The rack cabinet itself draws no power; only the installed IT equipment consumes electricity, so total draw depends on the servers and storage you mount inside.

What floor anchoring or reinforcement is required before positioning this 78.4-inch tall, 275.78 lb enclosure?

The unit rests on leveling feet or optional casters and supports a 3006.31 lb static load; ensure the floor can bear the combined weight of rack plus gear, and bolt it down if local codes require seismic restraint.

Will my existing 19-inch EIA-310 servers and 36.02-inch deep blade chassis fit without adapter brackets?

Yes — the enclosure provides standard 19-inch rack width and 36.02-inch usable depth, so any EIA-310 compliant equipment within those dimensions mounts directly.
