How to Install the Panduit PR2V08CACFSTCWH Cold Aisle Containment Front Side Top Cover and Accessories

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for installing the Panduit PR2V08CACFSTCWH brush entry cable manager cover, along with its associated rack extension top and vertical cable manager extension covers, as part of a cold aisle containment system.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Drill/Driver w/ T25 Torx drive bit, 15mm socket wrench, 8mm socket wrench

Supplies needed:

M5x0.8 x 12mm Thread forming screws, M5x0.8 x 5mm machine screws, M5 acorn nuts, M10 serrated flange bolts, M10 serrated flange hex nuts

  1. Install Brush Entry Cover on PR2V Cable Manager

    Place the PR2V**CACFSTC** brush entry cable manager cover assembly over the top opening of the PR2V vertical cable manager. Align the cover assembly mount slots with the extruded holes on the front to back cable manager door hinge channels (2 holes per side). Install the M5x0.8 x 12mm thread forming screws into the extruded holes using a drill/driver with a T25 Torx drive bit. If using a Front & Back Cable Manager, orient it so the larger side faces forward, and use only one M5 screw per side to attach the Brush Entry cover.

  2. Install AR4P Rack Extension Top

    Position the AR4PCACTC** rack extension top in front of the top area of the AR4P rack, between the two PR2V**CACFSTC** covers previously installed. Ensure the short flange on the rack extension cover is oriented over the cable manager door. Align the rack extension cover mount slots with the tapped holes on the top of the vertical manager covers (2 holes per side). Install the M5x0.8 x 5mm machine screws into the tapped holes using a drill/driver with a T25 Torx drive bit.

  3. Install Bottom Vertical Cable Manager Extension Cover

    Position the bottom vertical cable manager extension cover (PR2CACFEP2** / PR2CACFEP962**) 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, and secure it with two M5 acorn nuts. 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.

  4. Install Top Vertical Cable Manager Extension Cover

    Remove the two M5 screws from the outer side of the PR2V**CACFSTC** assembly. Position the top vertical cable manager extension cover (PR2CACFEP2** / PR2CACFEP962**) against the vertical cable manager, with the 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, and secure it with two M5 acorn nuts. Re-attach the two M5 screws, securing the top cover to the PR2V**CACFSTC** assembly.

  5. Install Flap Seal

    Position the rubber flap seal as shown in the documentation and slide it onto the side cover short flange. Ensure the flap seal is fully seated on the flange. The flap seal is designed to form a seal against the vertical cable manager door when it opens and closes.
