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.
. Connect the provided power cord to the fan panel. To ensure polarity protection, align TIP to +. Note: Reversing polarity will not damage the fan panel, but the fan panel will not operate until the power cord is connected correctly. 5. Ensure that the voltage switch on the power supply is set to at least 7 Volts and that no wires or other obstructions can come in contact with the fans. Note: The universal power supply voltage must be set to 12 Volts when used with the rack fan temperature controller. 6.
Installing the Rack Fan Temperature Controller (ACF601) The Rack Fan Temperature Controller is designed to provide on/off and variable speed fan control based on the ambient temperature of the unit. The unit features two jumper selectable on/off set points, identified by an ’L’ (low) and ‘H’ (high) on the unit’s circuit board. 1. Set the jumper on the unit to the appropriate position for your application.
3. Turn on the temperature controller by connecting it between the Rack Fan Panel and the supplied power cord as shown below. Note: For proper functionality, the power supply must be set to 12 Volts. Note: Observe proper polarity by connecting TIP to +. 4. Install the sensor on the bracket using the supplied hook and loop fastener. Note: Be sure the end of the controller extends slightly over the edge of the bracket.
Installing the Vent Panel (ACAC40000) and Vent Panel with Temperature Display (ACAC40001) 1. Install the Vent Panel in an open 2U space using the 10-32 threaded screws provided. 2. Install the temperature sensor in the area to be monitored. (ACAC40001 Only) Note: To monitor a specific device, position the sensor near the component’s ventilation area for the most accurate reading. The sensor wire is approximately 36 inches long. 3.
2. Route the sensor cable and the power cable through the hole in the center of the Fan Panel and secure the cables to the back of the Fan Panel using the provided wire ties. 3. To secure cable when routing it in either direction from the center, use the wire tie slots positioned along the edge of the Fan Panel.
