General Information

Introduction

The American Power Conversion NetworkAIR® Rack Air Removal Unit removes heat generated by the exhaust of equipment contained in a NetShelter VX or NetShelter EP EIA 19-inch enclosure. The three fans provide increased air flow needed to cool densely-packed equipment and allow air to bypass obstacles in the rear of the enclosure such as power and data cables. An optional duct kit removes the heat entirely from the data center.

Features

Features of the Rack Air Removal Unit:

•Variable fan settings — based on power load and user-definable exhaust temperature

•Dual input connectors — for redundant power

•Three individually fused fans — allows unit to be used for redundancy or higher capacity

•Alarm LEDs — system status, fan status, and thermal control status

•Duct kit — for removal of heat from the air-conditioned space (optional)

•Integrated smoke detector (optional)

•APC Environmental Management System — for remote control and monitoring of the Rack Air Removal Unit (optional)
