NetShelter AV Rack Cooling Installation 1

Installing the Rack Fan Panel (ACF600)

The NetShelter AV 2U rack fan panel can be used to cool individual devices or to
draw air into or out of a rack. Before installing the fan panel, determine its application.

1. Determine the desired airflow direction and reverse the fans if necessary.
Airflow direction is indicated by an arrow on each fan.

a. To reverse the airflow direction, slowly pull the fans from the rubber

mounts one at a time.

Note: All four fans are wired together
b. Turn the entire fan assembly over.
c. To reattach the fans, pull the rubber mounts through the sheet metal

housing and then pull the rubber mounts through the mounting holes

on the fans.

2. Determine the installation location in the rack.
Note: The fan panel requires 2U of available rack space.
If you are using the optional ACF601 temperature controller, install the

temperature controller before you install the fan panel. See the installation
instructions on page 4.

3. To install the unit fan panel in a standard AV enclosure, use the provided 10­32 threaded screws.

Note: For installation in a standard IT equipment enclosure, use the cage
nuts provided with the enclosure.
