NetShelter VS is APC's performance-based enclosure solution, ideal for medium density datacenters where floorspace is of utmost importance. NetShelter VS addresses many of the emerging trends and issues IT managers face today by incorporating new features and benefits that allow customers to create a more effective IT environment. Increasing power densities have led to a need for enclosures that provide superior ventilation. The desire for quick deployment of IT solutions has led to a need for enclosure solutions that are easy to use and install. NetShelter VS enclosures have been designed with all of these trends in mind.

Features & Benefits
Compatibility
Door ventilation exceeds 830 in2 (5355 cm2)	Adequate ventilation is required for proper operation of today's servers. NetShelter VX and VS Enclosures include fully perforated front and rear doors to provide ample ventilation for servers and networking equipment. The perforation pattern provides 844 square inches of open area on the front door, exceeding requirements set forth by major server manaufacturers. Although this ventilation pattern provides adequate cooling for most configurations, air-moving accessories such as APC's Air Distribution Unit are also available to support higher heat density applications.
Adjustable mounting depth	Vertical mounting rails are adjustable for equipment with various mounting depths.

Convenience
Numbered U positions	Rapid installation of rack mounted equipment.
Rolls through a 7 foot doorway	APC has made installation fast and easy by designing the enclosure such that it rolls through standard 7 foot doorways. This feature does not apply to 47U versions.
Ships fully assembled	NetShelter VS Enclosures ship fully assembled thereby increasing speed of deployment.
Simple Selection	No need to spend hours choosing from and compiling dozens of part numbers to create a single enclosure. APC has made it easy by handling the details and providing complete enclosures with single part numbers.
Optimized width	NetShelter VS Enclosures are designed to align exactly on standard 24 inch and 600 mm wide floor tiles when bayed together.

Protection
Lockable doors and side panels	Front doors, rear doors, and side panels are lockable and accessible with a key provided with NetShelter Enclosures.
Structural Stability	A proven frame design, heavy gauge mounting rails, and heavy-duty casters provide for 2000 lb (908 kg) static and dynamic load ratings.

Safety
UBC Zone 4 stabilization provisions	NetShelter VS Enclosures are UBC (Uniform Building Code) Zone 4 compliant if used in conjunction with APC's bolt down bracket kit (part # AR8112BLK).
Protective grounding provisions	NetShelter VS Enclosures incorporate a series of ground studs within each enclosure, providing adequate means for grounding all loose sheet metal panels and/or internally rack-mounted equipment.

Serviceability
Quick release doors	During installation and while conducting routine maintenance of installed equipment, it is often advantageous to remove the enclosure doors. Quick release hinge pins allow for fast, easy access.
Quick release side panels	During installation and while conducting routine maintenance of installed equipment, it is often advantageous to remove the side panels. Quick release side panels allow for quick, easy access.
Split rear doors	Split rear doors improve access and serviceability to rear of rack mounted equipment. The split rear doors help to maximize floor space. Only 11 inches (279 mm) of clearance is required behind the enclosures to allow for door swing.

Adaptability
Reversible doors	In situations where it is desirable for the front door to open from the opposite side, doors can be detached and reversed.
Expansion	VX and VS Enclosures can be easily expanded upon to create complete rows of enclosures. Enclosures models that ship without side panels include hardware required to bolt to adjacent enclosures.
