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)
