Because temperature sensor 3, humidity transducer, water sensor and door state monitoring facilities etc. are integrated in cabinet body 1, need not to install in addition again, consequently, can simplify the inside wiring installation operation of rack 100 greatly.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific number of the analog input ports 21 and the digital input ports 22 is not limited. In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the number of the analog input ports 21 is eight, T1-T6 are used for accessing the temperature sensor, and H1 and H2 are used for accessing the humidity sensor; the number of the digital input ports 22 is three, wherein D1 and D2 are used for accessing two door state monitoring devices arranged corresponding to a front door and a rear door of the cabinet, and D3 is used for accessing a water sensor; the communication input port 23(IN) is used for supplying power to the collector and communicating with the collector of the superior cabinet, and the cabinet information such as physical address, name, model and the like can be written into the collector at one time through the communication input port 23; the communication output port 24(OUT) is used for supplying power and communicating with a collector of a lower-level cabinet; the control output port 25(DO) provides 1-3 control debugging output signals for connecting the adjusting equipment.

As shown in fig. 2, in the preferred embodiment, a delayed power supply device 26 is disposed in the collector 2, and the delayed power supply device 26 is configured to supply power to the communication input port of the collector of the next-stage cabinet through the communication output port 24 after the collector 2 is started for a set duration. As shown in fig. 3, the cabinets 100 of the data center are arranged in a cascade manner, and after the data center supplies power, the collector of the first-stage cabinet is started, and after a delay of t seconds, power is supplied to the communication input port of the collector of the second-stage cabinet through the communication output port; the collector of the second-stage cabinet is started, and power is supplied to the communication input port of the collector of the third-stage cabinet through the communication output port after the delay of t seconds; … …, and so on until all collectors 2 of cabinet 100 are activated.
