Product overview
APC lists AR2500 as a NetShelter SV 42U 600mm wide x 1200mm deep Enclosure with sides black. An expansion shelf has to be supported by the head unit's firmware, not merely cabled to it. Tell us the controller and we will confirm the shelf is on its supported list.
Quotes are itemised down to the accessories, so nothing that is needed to make the part work is left off and discovered later.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against AR2500 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Supported by the head unit
We confirm the shelf is on the controller’s supported list, not merely that the cable fits.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is AR2500 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. It ships new in APC packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
Will AR2500 work in my server?
Send us the server model or service tag and we will confirm before you order. Part numbers alone do not always settle it: firmware revision and platform generation matter, and this is the check that prevents a return.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.
