Grounding
Proper grounding of the MDC is critical to optimizing performance of all equipment located within
the MDC. There are several methods used in the MDC to complete the bond between
components, cabinet frame, and busbar – all the way to the building ground network. These
methods include paint piercing screws and washers to ensure a direct metal-to-metal connection
throughout the MDC, grounding jumpers to connect equipment to the cabinet structure, and
braided ground to connect the cabinet to the Mesh Common Bonding Network (MCBN).
Equipment Overview
The Panduit Micro Data Center design has been built around a proven minimum combination of
server, storage and switches with free space left for server expansion, storage expansion, added
functionality and/or DIN rail mounted switches and supporting devices. To ensure that the MDC
is suitable for remote office locations and industrial applications Panduit recommends that
network components are installed in a structured manner, and include compatible components,
including the following:
Compute
Cisco C240 M4 server(s).
Network
Cisco 3850 switches.
o 48 Port
o 24 Port
GLC-SX-MM - 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver modules for MMF.
Storage
EMC VNXe 3200 disk processor enclosure
EMC VNXe 3200 disk array enclosure.
