Protection for today's needs... and tomorrow's opportunities
Your Foundation Integration System is available with a Liebert ECM (Environmental Control Module). The ECM is a self-contained, air conditioning system that provides round-the-clock cooling to components housed within a Foundation enclosure. The ECM features low-noise operation, suitable for use in occupied spaces and includes an automatic condensate reevaporation system. A hot gas by-pass provides automatic load matching and enhanced ECM life. All systems utilize "green" R-407C refrigerant.
A BCM (Back-up Cooling Module) can be added to the ECM to insure cooling in emergency conditions. With the addition of the Energy Saver Control the BCM can operate in "economizer" mode to save energy when conditions are right.
For systems without ECM air conditioning, fan cooling provides enhanced heat removal. Either 1 or 2 "low noise" or "high ambient" fans can be factory installed - up to 5 fans can be installed in the field. Fans can be located either on top or back panel of the Foundation.
The Foundation Integration System features a robust,
flexible design. Systems are selected as either “non-sealed”
(open frame or enclosure) or as “sealed” (basis for NEMA
12 enclosure). Internal mounting rails are full height,
adjustable position, sheetmetal mounting rails with EIA
hole/spacing for equipment and/or mounting options.
Front/rear rails are offered, as well as a center mount
rail option. A choice of fixed and pullout shelves and
keyboard tray is also available.
Various cutouts are located at the top, bottom and rear
for cable entry. Leveling feet that can support 2,000 lbs.
of total weight are provided, while casters are optional.
Evolving Design
The Foundation system provides an organized, secure, controlled environment for your sensitive electronic equipment. A few of the major improvements to the Foundation over previous enclosure designs are:
- Adjustable Rack Rails
- Reversible Hinged Door
- Improved Cable Management
- Easy Access Side Panels
- Multiple Door Options
- Complete Upgradability
- Top Or Bottom Mount ECM Unit
- Lower Noise Level
- Energy Saving Features
For applications that require higher heat loads in a rack, (blade servers etc.), there is the Liebert XDF Enclosure.
