  • Publication number: 20210321525
    Abstract: Described herein is an integration cell that can be preinstalled with plural electronic equipment units at a location remote from a datacenter. One or more preinstalled integration cells can be shipped on a single standard shipping palette to the datacenter location and moved into the data center through standard doorways and using standard elevators. Inside the datacenter, the integration cell can be inserted into a seismic electronic equipment storage rack to allow for bulk installation or removal of plural electronic equipment units.

  • Publication number: 20200053903
    Abstract: A method for integrating a building block rack framework assembly for mounting equipment includes a plurality of vertical structural side members positioned at corners of the storage system. A plurality of horizontal structural members is coupled to the plurality of vertical structural side members. Specifically, each of the horizontal structural members has a plurality of corners, and each corner of each horizontal structural member is coupled to one of the vertical structural side members. Each vertical structural side member is an extrusion having a length selected to accommodate a desired height in a facility in which the storage system is installed.
