Effective ventilation for server rack enclosures is vital to prevent overheating. Instead of costly AC units, a server rack cooler fan system offers an efficient solution for managing airflow and maintaining optimal temperatures in enclosed setups.
Why Are Fans Used in Server Racks?
Excess heat can harm your valuable equipment, making it age faster and leading to system failures and unpredictable performance. If left unchecked, the accumulated heat in the center of the enclosure might even pose a fire risk.
Data rack fans are the most reliable and cost-effective method to protect the integrity of your devices – no matter where they reside within the enclosure.
What Do You Need for a Rack Mount Fan?
Consider these variables when developing a server cabinet cooling solution:
- How many servers, UPS, and other devices are stored in your cabinet, and how much heat do they generate.
- The cabinet’s built in terms of perforation availability, shelf size, and space utilization.
- The inherent ability of the enclosure to handle ventilation, including options for adding a cooling tray if needed.
- Cabinet position within the room.
- How the devices are arranged within the server enclosure, balancing efficiency and overall price considerations.
Once you have a good idea about your requirements, here are some equipment you can use to maintain temperature:
- This device prevents hot spots inside server cabinets, which can reduce performance and shorten equipment lifespan. It can be mounted on the top or bottom shelf or near heat-generating equipment. Equipped with rack mount fans, it automatically activates when the temperature exceeds a pre-set threshold, ensuring a steady flow of cool air. The standard model includes two fans, with a 4-fan version available for stronger airflow.
- Rack Mount Fan Trays: These can be placed below specific equipment for spot ventilation or at the bottom of a rackmount enclosure to push warm air upwards and out of the rack. There is a readily available on/off switch you can use to control the rack ventilator. Sysracks carries trays with 4 and 6 high-performance exhaust fans. To maximize airflow further, you can install an array of fan trays or complement them with a cooling conditioner, depending on how many heat-generating units are present in your enclosure.
- Wall Mount Roof Fan Kit: This is a computer server rack cooling system unit ideal for facilitating ventilation in a wall-mounted enclosure cabinet or closet. They can be installed either inside or outside the cabinet. It comes with a cord that can be plugged into any standard outlet or a PDU, making it suitable for cooling comms equipment as well.
