  Testing & Verification

  In keeping with our mission to provide our customers with the best solutions possible, each design undergoes multiple testing & verification processes by our experienced engineers. Each unit undergoes power, thermal, drive support, and EMC testing before it is approved for production.

• Thermal Efficiency

  We carefully construct each unit to maximize air flow within each unit, thereby increasing thermal efficiency and data integrity.

  

  • • High quality, heat-dissipating materials such as Aluminum
    • Active Heat-Sink Technology
    • Passive Heat-Sink Technology
    • Hot-Swappable & Fixed Fans
  • • Internal & External Designs that minimize heat retention
    • Alarm Installation & Alert Applications to prevent overheating
    • Thorough testing for maximum air flow
