Overview

Optimize your data center's thermal management with the Panduit PR2CACFEP2WH Containment End Panel. Specifically designed for open-frame racks, this panel effectively seals the end of row configurations, creating a critical component of a hot aisle containment solution. By preventing the mixing of hot exhaust air from equipment with cool intake air, the PR2CACFEP2WH significantly improves airflow management. This direct separation leads to enhanced thermal efficiency, allowing your IT equipment to operate at optimal temperatures. Reduced thermal stress can extend the lifespan of your hardware and prevent performance throttling due to overheating. The panel's design facilitates a more predictable and controlled airflow path, making cooling systems more efficient and potentially reducing energy consumption. Its straightforward integration into existing open-frame rack setups ensures a quick and effective upgrade to your data center's environmental controls. The Panduit PR2CACFEP2WH is an essential accessory for any facility focused on maintaining peak operational performance and energy savings through advanced airflow management. Manufacturer: Panduit. SKU: PR2CACFEP2WH. UNSPSC Code: 39131713. This product is engineered to provide a tangible improvement in data center cooling strategies.

How to Install the Panduit PR2CACFEP2WH Cold Aisle Containment Extension Panel

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Panduit PR2CACFEP2WH vertical cable manager extension covers and flap seals, essential components for cold aisle containment systems.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

15mm socket wrench, 8mm socket wrench, T25 Torx drive

Supplies needed:

M5 acorn nuts (8), M10 serrated flange bolts (8), M10 serrated flange hex nuts (8)

  1. Install the Bottom Cover

    Position the bottom cover against the vertical cable manager, ensuring the flap seal flange points inward towards the molded fingers. Attach a joining plate to the top of the bottom cover with the threaded studs facing outward, and secure it with two M5 acorn nuts. Finally, attach the bottom cover to the side of the vertical cable manager using two M10 serrated flange hex bolts and two serrated flange hex nuts.

  2. Install the Top Cover

    First, remove the two M5 screws from the outer side of the existing PR2V**CACFSTC** assembly. Position the top cover against the vertical cable manager, ensuring its flap seal flange points inward towards the molded fingers. Attach the top cover to the side of the vertical cable manager using two M10 serrated flange hex bolts and two serrated flange hex nuts. Attach a joining plate to the bottom of the top cover with the threaded studs facing outward, securing it with two M5 acorn nuts. Re-attach the two M5 screws to secure the top cover to the PR2V**CACFSTC** assembly.

  3. Install the Flap Seal

    Position the rubber flap seal as shown in the documentation and slide it onto the short flange of the side cover. Ensure the flap seal is fully seated on the flange. This flap seal is designed to create a seal against the vertical cable manager door during opening and closing operations.
