InRow Air Cooled RD Installation30

Rack temperature sensor

The rack temperature sensor monitors and controls the equipment

airflow and ensures an adequate supply of cooling air to the server

racks in the data center.

The equipment is supplied with an external rack temperature

sensor. See “Install kit” on page 5. This sensor, along with wire

clamps and wire clips, are included in the installation kit shipped

with the equipment.

Installing the rack temperature sensor

Note: Rack temperature sensor installation is not required if the equipment operates in Rack

Air Containment System (RACS) or Hot Aisle Containment System (HACS) mode. The

InRow configuration requires temperature sensor installation.

1. Insert the rack temperature sensor connector in the temperature sensor port at the user interface.

See “User interface connections” on page 28.

a. For a top installation, push the rack temperature

sensor through the port located at the top of the

equipment.

b. For a bottom installation, route the sensor

through the access hole in the bottom of the

equipment.

2. Route the sensor through either the top or the bottom

of the adjacent server rack.

3. Secure the temperature sensor cable to the front door

of the adjacent server rack at multiple locations using

the provided wire clips as shown. See “Install kit” on

page 5.

Install the sensor where lack of sufficient cooling air

is most likely. The optimum position of the rack temperature sensor will vary from installation to

installation, but must be located in the airflow to allow proper readings.

Servers most likely to have insufficient or inadequately cooled air due to the recirculation of hot

air from the hot aisle include:

a. Servers positioned at the top of a rack.

b. Servers positioned at any height in the last rack at an open end of a row.

c. Servers positioned behind flow-impairing obstacles such as building elements.

d. Servers positioned in a bank of high-density racks.

e. Servers positioned next to racks with Air Removal Units (ARU).

f. Servers positioned very far from the equipment.

g. Servers positioned very close to the equipment.
