Rack Side Air Distribution Unit i
General Information
Introduction
The Rack Side Air Distribution Unit is a rack mountable fan system that installs within most EIA-
310-D enclosures. The Rack Side Air Distribution Unit moves air from the front of the rack enclosure
to the side intake of the networking equipment. Lowering the inlet air temperature significantly
improves the availability and life expectancy of your network equipment. Installing the Rack Side
Air Distribution Unit increases rack density by eliminating the need for air space around networking
equipment and dismissing the concern of overheating.
Features
Features of the Rack Side Air Distribution Unit include the following:
• Compact 2U size
• Dual fans with status indicators
• Independent fan controls
• A-B redundant power input feeds
• Panel-mounted, resettable circuit breakers
• Configurable air distribution for network equipment with left or right airflow intake vents
• Configurable air-turning vane directs air up or down, which allows you the flexibility to place
network equipment above or below the unit
• Adjustable mounting slide rails

General Information
Safety information
Read and save this manual. This manual contains important safety instructions
for the proper installation and use of this product.
Warning
Disconnect power to the enclosure before installing the Rack Side Air
Distribution Unit. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
Do not apply power to the unit until the installation is complete. The Rack Side
Air Distribution Unit contains moving parts, which are potentially hazardous
when operated outside of the enclosure.
Keep fingers and clothing away from the fans. When power is applied, they have
moving parts which can cause personal injury.
Do not attempt to move a heavily loaded enclosure by yourself. Doing so
introduces risk of injury due to muscle strain or the tipping of the enclosure.
Fully loaded enclosures require at least two people to move safely.
Check that the power cord plugs and sockets are in good condition before
installation.
Connect the Rack Side Air Distribution Unit to a IEC-320-C13 outlet.
Connection to any other type of outlet may result in a shock hazard. Each outlet
must be connected to appropriate branch circuit/mains protection (fuse or circuit
breaker).
This equipment contains hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble or
modify the unit.
Always install and operate the Rack Side Air Distribution Unit as shown in this
manual.
