Sharp Electronics Portable Server Rack
This custom LM Cases Portable Server Rack was originally designed for Sharp Electronics USA as a mobile data transfer and server system. Built for applications where sensitive rack-mounted electronics need to be transported, operated, cooled, and secured within a single enclosure, the case combines a deep equipment rack, integrated cooling, protected access, equipment storage, and power/data connectivity.
The main equipment section provides 12RU of rack space with a deep interior designed to accommodate full-depth server equipment. The front and rear rack rails are recessed approximately 3", providing additional protection for installed equipment, connectors, and cabling.
Access to the server section is protected by 3/8" clear Lexan doors, allowing equipment status to remain visible while helping prevent unauthorized access or accidental contact with controls. The doors feature key locks, black hinges, ventilation openings, and rounded edges.
To manage the heat generated by server and data-processing equipment, the enclosure incorporates eight externally mounted cooling fans, arranged to provide active airflow through the rack while the system is operating. The approximately 40" deep equipment area provides substantial space for servers, UPS systems, cabling, and associated hardware. The overall case is approximately 49" long by 26.25" wide, with a 47" case body shown in the original design.
Mounted above the primary rack section is a Tripp Lite KVM system, providing centralized monitor, keyboard, and mouse control of the installed servers. A heavy-duty storage drawer is incorporated below the front rack section for accessories, cables, peripherals, and other system components.
The rear of the case includes an additional 4RU rack section with a 1/2" rail recess, providing a dedicated location for power distribution and system I/O equipment. The original system was configured with an APC UPS, rack-mounted power distribution, an L5-30 power input, WAN connectivity, ventilation, and associated cabling. A dedicated internal cable passage allows wiring to be routed between the primary rack and lower equipment section while helping keep the system organized and protected.
The case is constructed using LM Cases' 3/8" ATA-style construction and includes recessed hardware and heavy-duty casters for transport. LM Cases' Custom Integration department supplied and installed the original UPS, KVM system, power distribution components, input panel, and internal power cabling, creating a complete turnkey portable server solution.
Special thanks to Sharp Electronics USA for the opportunity to design and build this custom system.
