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.
Safety Information For computer-room use only. Warning Install the Rack Air Removal Unit only on racks that are loaded with equipment, counter-weighted, or stabilized to avoid tipping of the rack. Inspect the Rack Air Removal Unit for damage before installation. Disconnect power to the Rack Air Removal Unit before installing it into the rack. 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.

Installation Remove the rear doors To avoid personal injury or damage to the enclosure, one person should support the door while another removes it from the frame. Warning 1. If necessary, move the rack to allow for at least 30 inches of clearance to install the Rack Air Removal Unit. 2. Open the rear doors and pull down on the spring-loaded hinge pin attached to the top of the door. Lift the door from its frame and set it safely aside. 3. Repeat this step with the other rear door. 4.
Installation Install the fan frame To avoid personal injury or damage to the enclosure, one person should support the fan frame while another places the fan frame onto the enclosure. Warning Install the Rack Air Removal Unit only on racks that are loaded with equipment or are counter-weighted to avoid tipping of the rack. Warning 1. With the exhaust vent at the top of the fan frame, align the four corners of the fan frame to the four corners of the enclosure.
Installation Install the fan assembly To prevent the enclosure from tipping, all four pins must be in engaged in the enclosure frame before installing the fan assembly. Warning Warning To avoid personal injury or damage to the Rack Air Removal Unit or the enclosure, two people should support the fan assembly while another places the fan assembly onto the enclosure. 1. Align the lower pin with the hole in the hinge pin bracket on the fan frame and insert the pin into the hole. 2.
Optional Items American Power Conversion offers additional products (not included) for the Rack Air Removal Unit: • Smoke Detector Kit (ACF121) — mounting plate and smoke detector for use inside the Rack Air Removal Unit. • Air Duct Kit (ACF120) — for removal of heat from the air conditioned area.
Operation Start-up Do not remove the air intake guards. Warning Use the fan speed selector to set the fan speed based on either the wattage output of the equipment in the rack or the desired exhaust temperature. kW 5 3 2 C 6 38 35 32 OFF 29.5 Fan Speed Selector Item Description KW settings Set the fan speed according to the wattage output of the equipment in the rack. Fan speed selector Control the fan speed by wattage output or exhaust temperature.
Operation Connect the power supply 1. Set the fan speed selector to OFF. 2. Using one of the supplied power cords, connect the female end to the "A" input socket on the inside of the unit. Plug the male end into a power-protected socket. Ensure that there is adequate power for the fans to run at 100% (230V 4 A). The UPS in the rack must be sized properly to power this unit. Use the Rack Air Removal Unit only with a 3000 watt UPS or higher.
Operation To check operation of the unit: 5. Apply power to the fans by turning the fan speed selector from the OFF position to one of the four exhaust temperature settings. 6. Make sure the fans are moving. 7. Turn off the power to the unit. If no air is flowing from the Rack Air Removal Unit, check the power connection. Note How to set the fans based on wattage Determine the wattage of your equipment and set the fan speed selector to the corresponding kW setting.
Operation Temperature Override in each Fan Speed Mode kW mode Exhaust temperature mode Remote mode Temp Override Enabled Fan speed will increase when rack equipment exhaust temperature reaches 40.5° C (105° F) No Effect Depends on the fan speed selection of the remote device. Same as kW or exhaust temperature mode. In kW mode the temperature override setpoint can be set to 32.2–51.
Operation How to set the temperature override The temperature override switch is recessed inside the space marked A-Link Address. Use a small tool such as a pocket screwdriver to set the DIP switch to the correct position. Set the DIP switch labeled 1 to the desired position according to the table below.
Operation How to set the fans based on temperature A temperature probe is located in the intake vents of the Rack Air Removal Unit that measures the equipment exhaust air temperature. The unit will increase or decrease the speed of the fans to keep the equipment exhaust at the desired temperature. The appropriate fan speed is based on the equipment’s inlet air temperature and its temperature differential.
Alarm Settings The Rack Air Removal Unit has three LEDs on the front of the door that indicate whether the system is in an alarm state.
How to Communicate Using the A-Link The Rack Air Removal Unit can be used with an APC Environmental Management System that can monitor and control the unit.
