Executive Summary

The Dell™ PowerEdge™ Rack Enclosures are offered in two sizes, 24U (2420) and 42U (4220). The Dell 2420

and 4220 Rack Enclosures are designed to hold and protect server, network, and data storage equipment. The Dell

Rack Enclosure is a sturdy, practical design that is solidly built and delivered with Dell quality service, support, and

reliability. The Dell 2420 and 4220 Rack Enclosure feature an array of enhancements over traditional cabinets to

address critical power, cooling, and cabling issues of the datacenter. Dell 2420 and 4220 Rack Enclosures are

designed to be used in any environment: a data center, a remote office, a wiring closet, or even a factory floor.

The Dell 2420 and 4220 Rack Enclosures are UL certified and adhere to the CEA-310-E standards for 19"

rackmount equipment. Dell PowerEdge servers fit into these racks as do other important networking equipment

including Dell PowerVault™, Dell EqualLogic and Dell EMC storage, PowerConnect™ or other networking

equipment like routers, switches, and etc.

This document is intended only as a guide to some best practices when installing and using a Dell 2420 or 4220

Rack Enclosure. While not all deployment scenarios can be covered here, this document looks to provide guidance

for some of the more common environments where Dell Rack Enclosures are used.

Key Attributes

Size

Dell 2420 and 4220 Rack Enclosures come in two key sizes to accommodate server mounting needs at both small

office environments and in large scale data center installations.

The 2420 Rack Enclosure is a 24U rack that has the following dimensions shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Dell 2420 Rack Enclosure

The 4220 Rack Enclosure is a 42U rack that has the following dimensions shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Dell 4220 Rack Enclosure

Strength

The new Dell Rack Enclosures have increased static load capacity versus the previous generation of Dell Rack

Enclosures. They have been upgraded with redesigned frame base members, stronger corner weld joints, better

reinforced leveling feet, and new castor wheels made of nylon with higher impact strength over the previous version

of castor wheels.

Cooling

The Dell 2420 and 4220 Rack Enclosures have been designed to provide the necessary thermal environment to help

reduce inefficiency at the rack level in cooling your rack mount equipment in the data center environment.

When it comes to cooling in the rack environment, the two key areas that need to be addressed are airflow into the

rack and management of the hot air exhaust inside the rack.

The air intake into the rack enclosure is a function of how much cool air is presented to the rack and the amount of

cool air that can make it through the perforations in the rack enclosure front door as well as how much hot air can be

expelled through the perforations in the rear doors of the rack enclosure.

The door perforation design of the 2420 and 4220 Rack Enclosure front and rear doors provide 80% open area for

greater airflow capability than many other comparable racks.

Figure 3: 80% Open Perforation on Front & Rear Doors

Although the size of perforations in the rack doors are not usually a key contributor to overheating in the rack and

data center environment, a more open door perforation design ensures adequate airflow at the rack level.

Incorrect airflow management inside the rack enclosure can cause inefficiencies in cooling your rack mount

equipment. In standard data center environments, IT equipment pulls cool air in through the front door of the rack

enclosure and expels hot air through the rear of the system, and then through the rear doors of the rack. This cycle

of air flow should be consistent and continuous.

Key to maintaining this airflow cycle is proper rack enclosure design and the use of best practices in configuring

your rackmount equipment. The design of the rack should be such that the airflow path inside the rack does not

allow hot air exhausting from the rear of systems to travel to the front of the equipment through the sides of the rack.

When hot air exhaust travels to the front of the rack, it can enter rackmount equipment and disrupt the cooling cycle

by introducing hot air into the systems, thereby decreasing the systems’ efficiency. See Figure 4.

It should be noted that the rack fan kit available from Dell for legacy rack enclosures will also install into the 4220

Rack Enclosure.

Figure 4: Rack Airflow

The 2420 and 4220 are designed to prevent the return path for hot air exhaust from traveling to the front of the rack.

The sides are sealed with side closeout panels. These panels overlap the front mounting rails such that even if you

choose to move the front mounting rails back up to 2-1/4”, the seal between the front mounting rail and the side

closeout panels can still be maintained.

Another key best practice in managing rack level airflow is the usage of closeout panels to seal off all empty U-

spaces. Any openings in the rack provide a path for hot air to travel through the rack to the front of systems. Ask

your Dell TSR for assistance in purchasing closeout panels from Dell.

Rack Installation

Removal from Pallet

Before beginning the removal process, be sure there are roughly 2.7 meters (9 feet) of free space in front of the

pallet to allow the rack to be rolled off the pallet.

It is important to minimize the distance that the rack has to be rolled to its final destination whenever possible. It’s

recommended that the rack be transported on its pallet as close as possible to its final location.

Also, it is important to survey the path the rack will be rolled across to make sure that any obstacles to a smooth

transport have been identified and either avoided or addressed to minimize the impact. As an example, doorways

shorter than 2.0 meters are too low to allow the 4220 Rack Enclosure to pass through. Plan for an alternate route, or

make provisions for dealing with getting the rack through any short doorway in a suitable manner prior to moving

the rack. Never tilt a rack with equipment installed.

When you’re ready to remove the rack from the pallet, check the leveling feet inside the rack and be sure they are in

the fully-retracted or upward position and not down towards the pallet before unbolting the rack from the pallet.

The 2420 and 4220 Rack Enclosures are secured to their shipping pallet with L-brackets in the front and Z-brackets

in the rear. In order to remove the rack from the pallet: follow the steps listed below.

•Open the front door and pull out the ramps from under the rack frame. Put these aside in a readily

accessible area as they will be used to take the rack off of the pallet.

•Using a 13mm wrench or socket set, remove the bolts attaching the front L-brackets to the rack frame.

•Using a 17mm wrench or socket set, remove the bolts attaching the front L-brackets to the pallet. Set these

parts aside. See Figure 5.

•Still using the 17mm wrench, loosen the bolts attaching the rear Z-brackets to the pallet. It is not necessary

to fully remove the bolts and the rear Z-brackets from the pallet.

•Attach the wooden ramps provided to the front of the pallet utilizing the Velcro strips to hold the ramps in

place.

•Close the front door.

•With the assistance of at least one other person, slowly roll the rack off the pallet and down the ramps.

Moving into Place

Prior to moving a rack, verify that the leveling feet are in the fully-raised position. Do not attempt to move the rack

alone. Always move the rack with assistance to help guide and position the rack as it is rolled into place. Try to

avoid uneven surfaces, and make sure to keep checking for debris on the floor that can catch the rack castors and

cause the rack to stop abruptly. Uneven and/or rough surfaces such as door jams, elevator gaps, asphalt, etc. cause

undue stress on the rack castor wheels and can create an unstable environment for rolling the rack.

Also, make sure to use appropriate care whenever going up or down any ramps.

Note that the rear castor wheels are 360-degree swiveling castor wheels, while the front wheels are fixed. This

should be taken into account when steering the rack around corners and into place in your datacenter. Avoid

pushing the rack from the sides near the front where the wheels are fixed. Steering should be done at the rear of the

rack.

It’s recommended that the rack be rolled into its final location by backing it into place while pushing on the front of

the rack. Once in place, the leveling feet should then be lowered to the ground so that the rack can no longer roll

and so that the rack is level. The leveling feet can be lowered and adjusted from inside the rack with a flat head

screwdriver, or from outside the rack with a 12mm wrench. See Figure 6.

Figure 6: Leveling Feet Deployment

Installing rack level stabilizers should be done next. The 4220 rack comes with a set of brackets in the rack that are

used to provide stability when equipment is being loaded, unloaded, or serviced in the rack.

Reach into the rack, grab a stabilizer bracket firmly with both hands, and pull straight up. Once the stabilizer has

been removed, use pliers to push the plastic fastener through the hole in the stabilizer and discard these plastic

pieces. See Figure 7.

As shown in the installation guide included in the hardware kit, line up the stabilizers in front of the rack, then

secure the stabilizers to the rack using the hardware provided in the kit. See Figure 8.

Figure 8: Stabilizer Installation

Coupling Racks

4220 Rack Enclosures can be coupled using an interconnect accessory kit that can be purchased with the Dell Rack

Enclosure. This kit can be used to couple the 4220 to another 4220 or to a previous generation Dell 4210 Rack

Enclosure. Follow the steps in the instruction manuals to seal and spaces between racks with the foam provided.

Then use the brackets to complete a tool-less coupling of the two racks. For maximum stability, use all four

coupling brackets to secure mated racks at top and bottom in the front and rear of the racks. See Figure 9.
