Overview

Optimize your data center cooling with the Panduit DIFBA3003S00S Air Inlet Duct, specifically designed for Cisco Nexus 93128 switches. This 3 Rack Unit (RU) duct facilitates effective deployment within a Net-Contain3 Cold Aisle Containment system, ensuring that cooling air is efficiently directed from the cold aisle directly into the intake fans of your network switches. By enabling reduced fan power consumption, this air inlet duct allows for lower fan speeds, which in turn improves the overall reliability of your Cisco Nexus 93128 switch. The Panduit CID Air Inlet Duct series, to which this model belongs, is engineered to seal raised floor cutouts, significantly minimizing bypass airflow and enhancing cooling efficiency in hot/cold aisle environments. It is compatible with both new installations and retrofit projects, featuring an airtight fabric and a Tak-Ty® closure system for a secure and reliable fit. Constructed from electrostatic dissipative and flame-retardant materials, it meets stringent UL94 V-) and FAR 25.853 flammability standards, ensuring safety and compliance. Furthermore, this product is RoHS and NEC compliant. While specific dimensions for the DIFBA3003S00S are not detailed in the provided excerpt, similar CID1RU22-23DB1 models are compatible with switch depths of 21.5” - 23.5” (546.1mm - 596.9mm), and CID2RU16-20DB1 models are compatible with 16.0” - 20.0” (406.4mm - 508.0mm) switch depths, indicating a focus on accommodating various switch sizes. The manufacturer, Panduit, is a recognized leader in network infrastructure solutions, and this air inlet duct exemplifies their commitment to improving data center efficiency and reliability. The UNSPSC code for this product is 43223301, and it is manufactured in the US.

How to Install the DIFBA3003S00S Switch Ducting

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the DIFBA3003S00S switch ducting in a server cabinet.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Utility knife

Supplies needed:

Bonding cage nuts, Mounting screws, Wing nuts, Tooth washers, Foam seal

  1. Prepare the switch for ducting installation

    Remove the bottom screws from the front of the switch rails and discard them.

  2. Install cage nuts

    Insert 4 bonding cage nuts per equipment rail in the rack space immediately above the switch rails at the front of the cabinet.

  3. Install the switch ducting

    Secure the DIFBA3003S00S switch ducting to the equipment rails using 8 new screws and the two bottom screws removed earlier. Do not tighten the bottom screws; leave them slightly extended for the Front Perforated Plate installation.

  4. Adjust the switch ducting

    Use 4 wing nuts and tooth washers to adjust the position of the switch duct seals. Install a foam seal if necessary to seal the ducting to the bottom of the switch.

  5. Route the switch power cable

    Route the switch power cable through the power grommet located on either side of the DIFBA3003S00S. Use a utility knife to slit the power grommet(s) along the guide lines as needed to allow for power cord pass-through.

  6. Install the front perforated plate

    Slide the slots at the bottom of the Front Perforated Plate over the two bottom screws. Secure the top of the Front Perforated Plate to the switch ducting and equipment rails with two bonding screws, then tighten the two bottom screws.
