To order a cabinet, choose the "Cabinets & U Space" link in the Place Order section at the top of the page, then choose "New Cabinet". Cabinets are ordered one configuration at a time. To order more than one type, submit another order where you can choose a different configuration or density.
Quantity: You will need to determine the quantity of cabinets you will require within the facility. The cabinets in the co-location area are 800 mm W X 1200 mm D, Chatsworth GlobalFrameTM.
Cabinet Type: The cabinet type lets you choose the power density of the included power for your cabinet.
Power: You will need to determine the power requirements of your cabinet. You have the option of installing power distribution units and tap-off boxes for a higher density level than the cabinet type. Power is provided in an A/B configuration where power is separately sourced and provided to each circuit. However, since it is considered a backup, you cannot consume more power out of both circuits than you can consume out of one. If you are unsure of your power requirements or would like to request a power type not listed, please call your Nasdaq Technical Services Representatives to schedule a discussion.
Power Strip: Power distribution unit (PDU). For full cabinets, power strips can be provided by Nasdaq (vertical) or the customer (vertical/horizontal). 1/3 cabinets do not allow the customer's own PDU. Customer-provided PDUs must be CE-certified and withstand 65°C.
