APC by Schneider Electric WASSEM5X8-AX-20 HOT Aisle Enclosure Kit

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric WASSEM5X8-AX-20 is a component for hot aisle containment systems, designed to improve thermal management within data center racks. By isolating the hot exhaust air from IT equipment, it prevents recirculation and ensures that cooling systems operate more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and maintaining optimal operating temperatures for sensitive hardware. This kit is specifically for deployment in rack environments where hot aisle containment is a critical factor for operational stability and cost savings. The model number WASSEM5X8-AX-20 identifies this specific assembly.

Compatibility

This HOT Aisle Enclosure Kit is designed to integrate with specific APC rack and enclosure systems. It is intended for use with APC's broader hot aisle containment solutions, typically requiring compatible enclosure frames and roof/ceiling panels. While specific model numbers for compatible racks are not detailed in the provided evidence, it is designed for APC's standard rack footprints. Consult APC's solution guides for precise rack compatibility to ensure proper fit and function within your existing infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The APC WASSEM5X8-AX-20 kit requires assembly and integration into an existing or new hot aisle containment setup. Proper installation involves securing the components to the rack and ensuring a sealed environment to effectively capture and direct hot exhaust air. The kit's weight of 1.00 lbs indicates it is a lightweight component, but proper fastening is crucial for its effectiveness. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent air leakage, which would compromise thermal management performance.
