APC AR2580 NetShelter SV 42U 800mm Wide x 1200mm Deep Rack Enclosure with Sides
The APC AR2580 NetShelter SV is a 42U floor-standing server rack enclosure measuring 800mm wide x 1200mm deep with side panels, providing maximum internal depth for full-size servers, deep storage arrays, and high-density data centre equipment.Overview
The APC AR2580 NetShelter SV combines an 800mm width and an extended 1200mm depth to create the most spacious enclosed enclosure in the standard NetShelter SV range, accommodating full-size blade server chassis, deep storage arrays, and other large-format 19-inch rack equipment without compromise. The additional depth over the 1060mm models eliminates equipment overhang and maintains proper airflow paths for thermally demanding hardware. The seismic-rated frame, heavy-gauge mounting rails, and high load ratings ensure suitability for the most demanding enterprise data centre environments.

FAQ
Q: What equipment requires the 1200mm depth of the AR2580 versus the 1060mm AR2480?
A: Full-size blade server chassis, deep storage arrays, and some large UPS models require 1060mm or more of internal depth. The AR2580's 1200mm depth provides additional clearance for these and allows better rear cable management.
Q: Does the AR2580 include a removable roof?
A: Yes. The roof is removable via pull-pin hinges and is reversible to reposition cable access openings for either power or data cable routing, including brush strips for cable ingress/egress management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of the 1200mm depth in the AR2580 compared to shallower 42U racks for storage-heavy deployments?
The 1200mm depth accommodates full-size storage arrays, backup appliances, and large server chassis that do not fit standard ~1060mm-depth racks. This makes the AR2580 ideal for data centres with significant storage or specialized equipment requiring maximum internal depth.
Can the AR2580s 800mm width and 1200mm depth combination fit typical enterprise servers and SAN storage in a single rack?
Yes, the 800mm × 1200mm internal footprint is designed for high-capacity deployments mixing servers, storage arrays, and networking gear. This combination provides maximum equipment density for enterprise and cloud-like installations in regional data centres.
What is the static load rating for the AR2580 when fully equipped with deep storage arrays and servers?
The AR2580 supports very high static loads suitable for dense enterprise deployments; the exact rating depends on internal load distribution. Contact Procure.ae for a detailed weight calculation based on your server and storage manifest to ensure safe operation.
How does the larger footprint affect cooling and airflow management in a high-density environment?
The wider, deeper frame supports larger internal volume and can accommodate multiple cooling fans or ducted cooling solutions; ensure proper hot-aisle/cold-aisle setup with clear front intake and rear exhaust paths. Procure.ae can advise on cooling strategy for your specific equipment load.
Are there any special floor considerations or weight distribution concerns when installing a fully loaded AR2580 in a data centre?
A fully loaded deep wide rack is very heavy; verify data centre floor strength and point-load ratings before positioning. Use the levelling feet carefully and ensure weight is distributed evenly on the base; Procure.ae can help verify floor capacity for your planned installation.
Can I integrate hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment strategies with the side panels on the AR2580?
Yes, the side panels support standard hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment; rear exhaust flows upward into the hot aisle and away from intake vents on the front, improving cooling efficiency in large data centres with multiple racks and active thermal management.
What is the expected lead time for ordering an AR2580 high-capacity rack from Procure.ae for a UAE data centre?
Procure.ae supplies large enterprise racks across the UAE and GCC on a request-a-quote basis. Lead times for the AR2580 depend on in-stock availability and your site preparation timeline; contact the team to plan delivery.
Are there installation, load balancing, and thermal commissioning services available for positioning a fully equipped AR2580 in an operating data centre?
Yes, Procure.ae can arrange specialized partners to support careful positioning, levelling, load verification, cable integration, and thermal testing of a fully equipped high-capacity rack in live data centre environments. Discuss your timeline and thermal targets with the team.
What is included with the AR2580 and what accessories should we budget for a fully integrated deployment?
The AR2580 includes side panels, seismic-rated frame, heavy-gauge rails, casters, and levelling feet. Plan for PDUs, cable trays, blanking panels, cooling fans or ducting, and thermal monitoring accessories; Procure.ae will provide a comprehensive parts and pricing summary.
What warranty and certifications apply to the AR2580 for mission-critical data centre use?
APC provides a limited warranty on NetShelter enclosures covering manufacturing defects. For load-bearing certifications, thermal performance guarantees, and regional support contracts available for mission-critical GCC data centres, contact Procure.ae.
How does the deepest NetShelter SV configuration (800mm × 1200mm) balance footprint efficiency and equipment capacity in a modern data centre?
The AR2580 provides maximum equipment capacity (servers, storage, UPS) in a single standard-width footprint, reducing the number of racks needed for high-density deployments. This improves cable management, cooling efficiency, and data centre scalability compared to multiple shallower racks.
