Overview

The Panduit PR2CACFEP962BL Containment End Panel is designed to seal the end of row on open-frame racks. This component is crucial for implementing effective hot aisle containment strategies within data center and IT environments. By creating a physical barrier, the panel directs airflow, preventing the mixing of hot exhaust air from equipment with cool intake air. This separation significantly improves airflow management, leading to enhanced thermal efficiency across your rack infrastructure. Optimized thermal management is a primary benefit, allowing equipment to operate within its intended temperature ranges, thereby reducing the risk of thermal throttling and extending hardware lifespan. The PR2CACFEP962BL facilitates a more predictable and controlled cooling environment, which can lead to reductions in overall cooling energy consumption. Its application is straightforward, integrating with existing open-frame rack systems to establish a closed-loop containment solution. This panel is a key element for facilities focused on maximizing the performance and efficiency of their IT equipment. The SKU for this product is PR2CACFEP962BL, manufactured by Panduit. Its purpose is to contribute to a structured and efficient data center cooling architecture.

How to Install PR2CACFEP962BL Vertical Cable Manager Extension Covers

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the PR2CACFEP962BL vertical cable manager extension covers and flap seals, which are components of the cold aisle containment system.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

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

Supplies needed:

M5 acorn nuts, M10 serrated flange bolts, M10 serrated flange hex nuts

  1. Install the Bottom Vertical Cable Manager Extension 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 pointed outward, securing 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 M10 serrated flange hex nuts.

  2. Install the Top Vertical Cable Manager Extension Cover

    First, remove the two M5 screws from the outer side of the PR2V**CACFSTC** assembly. Position the top cover against the vertical cable manager, with its flap seal flange pointed 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 M10 serrated flange hex nuts. Attach a joining plate to the bottom of the top cover with the threaded studs pointed 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 Rubber Flap Seal

    Position the rubber flap seal as shown in the diagram and slide it onto the side cover's short flange. Ensure the flap seal is fully seated on the flange, as it is designed to form a seal against the vertical cable manager door during operation.
