The new, patented mouse pad from Rittal is designed for those who prefer using a mouse to micro-joystick or touch-pad control
The 3 U high DET-AC can monitor and extinguish a fire in up to two racks when used in conjunction with the Rittal server cooling solution 'Liquid Cooling Package', with the extinguishing gas being distributed back to the rack via a distribution system.
Power can also be cut off from the defective enclosure to prevent the fire from spreading.
Additional safety levels, from the triggering of alarms to activating the fire extinguishing system guarantee the highest safety standard for IT infrastructures.
Using the Rittal CMC-TC monitoring system, warning alarms, faults or extinguishing operations can be reported directly over the network (SNMP, SMS or e-mail, etc).
FM200 is the standard extinguishing gas with others available optionally. Request a free brochure from Rittal ...
