Question : Rack Server Facial Lock??

Dear All

I might have imagined this so apologies if I have.

I have recently purchased a HP DL360 1U server.  This will go into a server rack, but the potential is there for people to go into the comms room that shouldnt, and then subsequently have the abilty to simply press the power button on the front.

Its is in a locked cupboard, but like I say, more than one compny may gain access to this area.

I am sure that in the past I have been able to purchase metal facias for other rack servers that would attach and then lock to the main body of the server, stopping anyone pressing the power button on the front.

Any ideas of where I can get these, if they exist???

Cheers

Sounds like you want something:  http://www.rackmountsolutions.net/Security%20Doors.asp
I wouldn't recomend thier use with servers, as I'd imagine it would limit airflow fairly severly.  They're more designed for protecting knobs from people adjusting them.

What you probably should have gotten was a server with a locking bezel.  Most of Dell's 1U server have a big metal bar that's designed to keep fingers away from things, but still alowing airflow.

Honestly, at this point you best bet is a 'don't touch' postit note, and a webcam to show you who touched something if you have problems.
