If your cabinets are only partially populated and have perforated ventilation holes in the front and rear, you may not need additional cooling fan kits. Server manufacturers typically recommend a minimum perforation factor for the doors of the cabinets that would be used to house their servers and this is typically from 63% upwards; to allow adequate air flow from front to rear.

A Guide to Free Standing Data Cabinets
The standard width of a wall mounted cabinet is 600mm. It is the height and dept that will vary in size from 6 to 21U and 400 to 600mm in depth. Inside the cabinets are 19inch profiles (also referred to as vertical struts) to which can be attached the devices to be housed using M6 fixings or shelves onto which you can place your devices.
The depths quoted are the external depths (400-600mm). Each cabinet will have a maximum internal depth and it is important to ensure that your computer and networking devices will fit inside the cabinets with enough room for cable (power or network) connections and their bend radius.
Free Standing Data Cabinet Height Conversion Table
The table shows the U-height in 1U increments and the corresponding heights in metric (mm) and imperial measurements (inches). This is not the overall height of the data cabinets but the internal usable height and the table can also be used to calculate the total ‘U’ height of the equipment to be located in the data cabinet and how much capacity is available for future expansion.
