How to use

Install the accessory into the designated cut-out or mounting location in the rack or cabinet wall according to the enclosure manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the unit is oriented to match the intended airflow direction for intake or exhaust. Connect any required electrical supply following local regulations and safety standards, and verify seals and panel fit to maintain enclosure integrity. After installation, run the system and confirm expected airflow and temperature profiles within the rack to validate cooling performance.

Recommendations

Position the unit to balance intake and exhaust flows and avoid directing hot exhaust air toward intake openings. Periodically inspect and clean surrounding filters or airflow passages to sustain the rated 910 m³/h performance. For systems with higher heat loads, consider using multiple units or combining with additional cooling measures to achieve target temperatures.
