Dynamic Rack Control DRC Dynamic Rack Control is an inventory system for data centres. It allows all 482.6 mm (19") components in the rack to be managed easily and clearly. ◾ Capacity management and visualisation of all built-in components ◾ Position logging of components to 1/3 U accuracy ◾ Data retrievable via Web browser, integration and automatic detection via SNMP ◾ Reliable RFID technology (13.56 MHz) to ISO 18000-3 (ISO 15693) ◾ Storage of key information about the built-in device directly on the RFID tag (zero current) 2 Rittal Technical System Catalogue/IT infrast

System overview Dynamic Rack Control offers fully automated, continuously updated capacity monitoring of the IT racks installed in data centres. Manual updating of inventories is now a thing of the past. The system comprises an RFID hardware solution, which may also be retrospectively integrated into a fully populated Rittal TS IT rack, and the DCIM software RiZone (V 3.6 and above), which provides superordinate database functions. This enables comprehensive monitoring of the 482.6 mm (19") components installed in all racks, and selectively searches for individual hardware components. The principal...

■ Capacity management for 482.6 mm (19") equipment ■ Position logging to V3 U accuracy ■ Storage of all key information about the installed components ■ The RFID tag is stuck onto the component and remains there for its entire service life ■ Data may be retrieved via the SNMP and CMC III website ■ Incorporation into the DCIM RiZone software and other management systems ■ The DRC variables may be read and set via SNMP. A corresponding CMC III MIB is available. ■ Data storage on the RFID tags and in the RiZone database ■ Fits the Rittal TS IT rack, in heights 1200 mm (24 U), 2000 mm (42 U) and...

Dynamic Rack Control DRC 2. RiZone DCIM software with DRC administrative function The data for all RFID tags installed in the enclosures is regularly polled by the management software via SNMP and saved in a database. The recorded values are then summarised to provide the user with a precise overview of the capacities per rack, rack suite, and the room as a whole. These values enable the user to plan any future expansion of server and network technology in the data centre: Enclosures with free height units and adequate cooling capacity may be defined, and hotspots caused by excessive loads in...

Dynamic Rack Control DRC RFID aerial The high-precision RFID aerial, mounted over the full height at the side of the 482.6 mm (19") level, is at the heart of the Dynamic Rack Control system. The 482.6 mm (19") section in the TS IT is pre-prepared for the aerial, enabling tool-free attachment. It is capable of reliably allocating RFID tags to any mounting hole in a given height unit (U). Each U has three mounting holes spaced just eight millimetres apart, which means that there are 126 holes in a 42 U high enclosure. Despite this, the aerial must be capable of clearly identifying the assigned...

CAN bus DRC The CAN bus DRC acts as an interface between the CMC III Processing Unit (PU) and an RFID controller. The unit has three connections: Two connections represent the interface to the CAN bus, and one RFID controller may be connected to the third connection. The CAN bus DRC must be externally supplied with 24 V via terminals. ■ Max. quantity on CMC III Processing Unit: 4 ■ Max. quantity on CMC III Processing Unit Compact: 2 ■ Interfaces RJ 45: 1 RFID controller ■ CAN bus jacks RJ 45: 2 ■ W x H x D: 138 x 40 x 120 mm ■ Colour: RAL 9005/7035 CMC III Computer Multi Control (CMC) is an alarm...
