APC by Schneider Electric AR7708 Air Recirculation Prevention Kit
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric AR7708 is a black air recirculation prevention kit designed to seal gaps in NetShelter SX enclosures. This accessory is critical for maintaining proper airflow management, ensuring that cool air supplied by the facility's HVAC system is directed through the IT equipment and hot exhaust air is effectively expelled, rather than mixing back into the intake. Deploying this kit is essential for environments where efficient thermal management is paramount, such as data centers and server rooms housing high-density equipment that generates significant heat. The AR7708 specifically addresses the challenge of hot spots forming within racks due to inefficient air separation.
Compatibility
This kit is engineered for APC NetShelter SX enclosures with either 42U or 48U height configurations. It is designed to seal the vertical gaps that can form around equipment installed in these specific rack sizes, preventing the bypass of conditioned air. It is not compatible with other NetShelter models or enclosures from different manufacturers.
Installation Notes
The AR7708 kit includes components necessary for installation and an installation guide. The primary installation task involves physically attaching the sealing components to the vertical edges of the enclosure, typically around installed equipment like servers, switches, and UPS units. The kit's dimensions are 0.75 inches in height, indicating a low profile designed to fit within standard rack configurations without impeding equipment installation. Its black color ensures a discreet appearance within the enclosure.
