Rittal Rimatrix5 Features
& Benefits:
- Frame Profile: The symmetrical design ensures
an absolute maximum of useful rack volume and permits
scalable suite options for optimized space utilization
in all planes.
- Interior configuration: Unique and extremely
stable - thanks to the symmetrical two-level principle
of the TS 8 profile. Depth-variable 482.6 mm (19˝)
mounting angles permit even the individual configuration
of heterogeneous server architectures.
- Surface protection: For optimum surface treatment
and enhanced corrosion protection, Rittal uses the
electrophoretic dip coat priming process originally
developed for the automobile industry.
- Passive ventilation: The perforated front and
rear doors can offer a 78 % ventilated surface in
their punched plate sections for an optimum air
flow to the installed hardware components.
- Access security: Ultimate access security is
provided by a 4-point locking mechanism, which can
furthermore be upgraded to integrate electronic
access authorization.
- Operational reliability: A broad range of different
modules permits a free choice of flexible floor
fastening, cable entry and raised floor assembly
options. In this way, individual system requirements
can be realized quickly and simply.
- Cable management: From cable management to fiber-optic
channels with protected bend radii or surplus cable
holders in the rack.
- 482.6 mm (19˝) component shelves: Whether depth-variable,
fixed installation or heavy-duty shelves for loads
up to 150 kg - the comprehensive product range fulfils
practically every wish when it comes to hardware
integration. The slotted shelves also ensure an
optimum vertical air flow.
- Drawers: Integrated multifunctional drawers
provide for tidy accommodation of keyboards, documents
or cables - also lockable, if required.
- Server integration: Depth-variable slide rails
and heavy-duty rails for load capacities up to 150
kg. Flexible universal rails for the installation
of heterogeneous server architectures using manufacturer-specific
mounting kits.

Rittal Racks with Liquid Cooling
Package

Rittal Rimatrix5 Liquid Cooling
Package LCP & LCP+
Developed to remove high levels of heat from server
enclosures, the high density cooling solution from Rittal
utilizes our new LCP air/water heat exchanger providing
uniform, effective and affordable cooling for servers
and IT equipment. The special horizontal airflow of
the LCP represents an adaptation of this widespread
cooling principle, providing cooled air uniformly throughout
the complete height of the enclosure.
Rittal LCP Plus
Using the same footprint and basic design as the Standard,
the LCP Plus includes six fan modules that work in concert
with the included heat exchanger to increase the useful
cooling capacity to 95,540 BTU (28 kW). The LCP Plus
is designed for cabinets 80" (2000 mm) high by 48" (1200
mm) deep and has a maximum air volume of 2825 cfm (4800
m3/hr). The LCP Plus (and LCP Standard) can be bayed
to a single cabinet or between two enclosures. It is
also possible to put a pair of LCPs on either side of
especially hot cabinets for applications where extreme
heat loads are present
| The Liquid Cooling Package (LCP) is a closed-loop
liquid cooling system that is ideal for compact,
high-cooling output to servers. Bayed to the
side of server cabinets, Rittal's LCP is an
air/water heat exchanger that provides evenly
distributed cold air across servers. Each Liquid
Cooling Package can contain up to three modules,
providing cooling for one enclosure or two-bayed
enclosures. Additional features of the LCP are:
active condensate controls, full accessibility
from front and rear and a horizontal riser for
blade servers where extreme heat dissipation
is needed. Easily retrofit to standard Rittal
server cabinets, the LCP can be integrated with
a CMC-TC controller to monitor temperature and
control cooling levels.
Air-cooled systems are fast reaching their
reliability limit due to: increased difficulty
dissipating dramatically elevating heat loads;
high noise level due to air handlers and fans;
electromagnetic compatibility problems caused
by high-frequency CPUs; and reduced service
life of active components. Liquid cooling can:
stabilize temperatures; provide greater electromagnetic
compatibility; allow increased server density;
and increase Mean Time Between Failure.
Using chilled liquid in the data center is
nothing new - water cooled mainframes were common
into the 1990s - but the last decade has been
dominated by fan and air conditioner solutions.
As heat loads have risen the search for a better
method for cooling the data center has led history
to repeat itself with the use of chilled fluid
systems

Rittal LCP systems and chillers use only
spill-proof fittings and include built-in overflow
trays for added peace of mind. The liquid and
air routes are closed loop systems that do not
add any additional heat into your data center
environment. The LCP components are also hot
swappable so you don't have to take your critical
data room servers down to service a unit.
Rittal LCP
Extend (image to right)
Ideal for retrofitting, the LCP Extend is
installed on the rear door of problem racks.
The LCP Extend can be ordered for use on cabinets
from other manufacturers. Already using Rittal
cabinets? The unit comes mounted into the proper
replacement rear door - just swap it out.

Rittal Rimatrix5 Climate control: Monitoring
of the inside rack temperature and corresponding adjustment
of the climate control systems to ensure reliable dissipation
of the arising heat loads make a valuable contribution
to minimizing operating costs.
Rittal Rimatrix5 Rack extinguisher systems:
With its active air intake feature, the Detection Active
extinguisher system offers optimum smoke detection facilities
for modern server enclosures. It draws in air samples
via a duct system and analyses the contents of this
air. Alarms are issued and the extinguisher triggered
in two stages. A 3 U high central unit is able to serve
several racks in a bayed suite. Integration into data
networks (TCP/IP, SNMP, HTTP) is possible via CMC-TC
(Computer Multi Control-Top Concept
Rittal Rimatrix5
SECURITY
As a key component of RimatriX5, CMC-TC is a complete
security management system for protection against consequential
damage and costs, as well as the central organizational
interface to facility management.
Fault and alarm messages are sent to defined service
or security management systems, whether central or distributed,
enabling the cause of a fault to be eliminated as quickly
as possible. Data exchange via bus systems and integration
into LAN and building management configurations provide
for the transparency of all security-relevant data.
Rittal Rimatrix5 Access control: Doors can be
controlled individually using numerical codes, magnetic
cards, transponder technologies, smart cards or the
latest biometric systems.
Video: The compact cameras possess an integrated
Ethernet port and can be distributed freely across the
network, independent of the central control room. Zoom,
night-sight and outdoor functions can be selected as
required. The camera images can be managed via the Internet
or through centrally installed software. Security
modules offer reliable protection against external influences.
KVM switches and monitor/keyboard drawers:
Innovative keyboard, video and mouse systems offer a
higher level of security, operating comfort and innovation.
The auto-configuration function ensures optimum setting
of the system. Up to 32 servers can be connected to
each switch and provide simultaneous access for up to
8 users. Cascading even permits expansion to incorporate
up to 512 servers and users are connected directly via
a 1 U monitor/keyboard drawer, via a remote console
at distances up to 300 m or else via a TCP/IP network.

Rittal Rimatrix5 System administration: Offers
via on-screen display (OSD) and two physically separate
networks (Syslog, LDAP, Active Directory). Such central
administration serves to raise transparency and cuts
operating costs.
