Anyone got any idea what the aprox weight of a half size server rack (with stuff in it) would be?

Assume a 24U dell rack with 4x1Us and 4x2Us, switch, kvm unit, cables and a couple of low end UPS devices inside.

  • It sounds like you are trying to move a rack between two locations. This question may help: http://serverfault.com/questions/49998/advice-on-moving-a-machine-room-to-a-new-location/ – David Mackintosh Feb 08 '10 at 17:23
  • intersting link thanks. Actually it was to see if the lift in our building can handle the whole rack in one go. – dansquid Feb 09 '10 at 09:55
  • out of interest, Even though we were within the weight limit. We broke the lift. – dansquid Jun 18 '13 at 07:54

Have a look at the capacity planner - it should show you a weight calculation by model, as well as quite a few other things
