  • Rack Air Containment Application Guidelines and Approved Configurations - The Rack Air Containment System (RACS) is a modular front and rear plenum for use in isolating the supply and return air between an APC Netshelter SX rack enclosure and an APC InRow™ cooling solution. The containment system is designed to create a separate environment for air distribution in order to prevent mixing of hot and cold air streams, resulting in a more predictable cooling pattern. The modular design and ability to retrofit to an existing Netshelter SX rack enables medium to high density racks to be cooled in an autonomous environment without overcooling the room mixed with lower density loads. PDF PDF (rev. 2)  
  • Hot Aisle Containment Application Guidelines and Approved Configurations - The Hot Aisle Containment System (HACS) is a modular ceiling panel and door system for use in isolating the supply and return air between an APC NetShelter rack and an APC InRow® cooling solution. The containment system is designed to create a separate environment for air distribution in order to prevent mixing of hot and cold air streams, resulting in a more predictable cooling pattern. The modular design and ability to retrofit to an existing Netshelter rack enables medium to high density racks to be cooled in an autonomous environment without overcooling the room.

  • Best Practices for Designing Data Centers with the InRow RC - The InfraStruXure® InRow RC is designed to provide cooling at the row and rack level of a data center for rack based IT equipment with front to back airflow. When designing data centers with this product, there are some best practices that should be followed to ensure the InRow RC is cooling as designed. This paper presents the best practices that should be followed when designing a data center with the InRow RC, and provides some additional guidelines to follow when some of these best practices can not be adopted as part of the data center layout.
