During maintenance, screws can be dropped and lost in the enclosure and hands can slip on slick metal as technicians try to lift heavy, liquid-covered hardware. These mishaps risk costly damage to server blades, and more importantly, loss of server uptime. In this AI race, the more time you spend running the better off you are, and every second counts. That is why Southco is introducing the RA Rack Attach.
The solution replaces traditional screws that normally secure a server blade to a rack. Instead, those screws are used to attach the RA to the blade, and an integrated pawl secures the blade to the rack.
This pawl retracts when a technician presses an integrated trigger in the Rack Attach handle, providing easy release from the rack, and a secure grip for the technician as they lift out the blade in one fluid motion. No more screws slowing down maintenance, and increased uptime for servers as they support the tech of the future.
While space is at a premium in these liquid-cooled server racks, the RA Rack Attach barely takes up any. The device is only 7 mm thick, but its steel construction enables it to support 50 kg of weight. Technicians get a strong, ergonomic grip with barely any space used by the Rack Attach.
These features reduce maintenance time and risk of damage and injury to technicians. Implementing the solution helps to lower costs, increase uptime, and offer a leg up in the race to power the technology of the future.
