Hot Aisle Containment System i

General Information

The Hot Aisle Containment System encloses an aisle to collect and cool equipment exhaust, making it available for cool air intakes. This creates a self-contained system capable of supporting high power density loads.

The Hot Aisle Containment System can be built using new equipment or with existing equipment.

2 Hot Aisle Containment System

System Configuration

Existing equipment used to create the Hot Aisle Containment System must meet dimensional requirements. If your existing layout must be altered to meet these requirements, consider an arrangement that does not require moving and turning off the power to the UPS and PDU. If your new configuration requires that the PDU and/or UPS must be moved, you will be required to remove power from that system.

See the installation manuals provided with the equipment for installation procedures.

Layout and Position of the Main Components

1. Determine the position of the main components and the total length of the Hot Aisle Containment System. Using a chalk line or a similar tool, lay out the perimeter, making sure all corners are square.

Note

If the existing equipment requires no adjustments, see “Door Frame Assembly and Installation” on page 9.

Door Frame Assembly and Installation

A door and door frame are installed on both ends of the Hot Aisle Containment System, and are used for aligning and joining the two rows of equipment.

Door frame assembly

Assemble both sets of door frames.

1. Attach the header to the left- and right-side door frame uprights using six M6 × 12-mm screws.

2. Attach the plinth blocks to the bottom of the door frame uprights using four M6 × 12-mm screws.

3. Attach the threshold to the bottom of the plinth blocks using two M6 flange nuts.


Installation: Door Frame Assembly and Installation

Door frame installation

1. Use five M6 × 12-mm screws and M6 flange nuts to attach the door frame to the racks at the end of the aisle.

2. Attach the plinth blocks to the enclosure using two M8 × 25-mm screws.

3. Position the end component that will start the second row, and repeat steps 1 and 2 to complete the assembly.


Installation: Door Frame Assembly and Installation

4. Complete the door frame installation process for the remaining door frame by repeating steps 1 through 3.

5. Before installing the enclosures for the second row, install two 21 U side panels to IT racks.

Note

Both rows must be aligned and straight, with the corners square before proceeding.

Note

Existing equipment rows may need to be pulled apart to install the brackets and 21 U panels. The 21U panels are options for enclosures.


Joining Enclosures

Joining 900-mm enclosures

Joining 900-mm and 1070-mm enclosures

1. Attach two 1070-mm trim brackets to the side of the 1070-mm enclosure. Align the bracket’s mounting hole with the bottom hole of the top and bottom set of holes in the enclosure. Use an M6 × 12-mm screw and an M6 flange nut for each bracket.

1070-mm to 900-mm shown



4. Install the joining trim to the joining trim brackets, using four pan-head screws.

Joining 1070-mm enclosures.

When joining two 1070-mm enclosures, the appropriate rear joining bracket must be used. Orient the brackets so that the two round holes are at the top position. The slots should be located in the middle and lower positions. Use six M6 × 12-mm screws to join two 1070-mm enclosures.

ElectricalHazard

The rear doors of the enclosures must be removed before the joining brackets can be installed. Do not remove the rear doors of the UPS, PDU, or XR Battery.

See also

See the instructions included with your equipment for information on how to remove the rear doors.



Doors and locksets installation

1. Apply the door frame gasket material to the door frame sides, and cut off any excess. Position the door gasket bulb on the outside of the door frame where it will make contact when the door is closed.

2. Hang the door on the frame.

3. Attach a lockset to each door.

4. Install the strike plate onto each door frame, using two 12-24 × 1/2-inch FHPHSS undercut screws (provided).

Note

Position the lock cylinder on the outside of the door.

Note

Do not use the screws supplied with the lockset.na0777b



5. Install door stops using four M3 × 12-mm Phillips screws.


Ceiling Panels

Ceiling panels are available in different lengths and widths based on the size of the enclosures they span. Ceiling panels are available as a complete assembly or as a multi-part unit that can be disassembled for existing applications that require that cables not be disconnected. Each ceiling panel configuration has a unique set of installation hardware.
