how to install APC by Schneider Electric InRow ACAC10003 Roof Height Adapter

• Preparation: Before installation, power down affected equipment and follow your data center’s safety protocols. Confirm that you have the correct roof height adapter for your InRow model and verify compatibility with your current row configuration. Gather the necessary mounting hardware included with the ACAC10003 and ensure the work area is clear of obstructions.
• Access and alignment: Access the roof area above the InRow cooling unit and position the ACAC10003 so that its mounting interface aligns with the corresponding points on the InRow unit. Verify that the adapter will create the intended height match for your roof connections and airflow paths. Make any preliminary adjustments to ensure a straight, level alignment.
• Secure mounting: With the adapter properly aligned, secure it to the InRow unit and roof interface using the provided fasteners. Tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s specified torque to avoid movement during operation while avoiding overtightening that could damage components. A secure attachment is essential to preserve airflow paths and maintain peak cooling efficiency.
• Inspection and clearance: After mounting, inspect the installation to confirm there are clearances for air intake and exhaust, and that there are no obstructions or debris in the airflow path. Check that seals, gaskets, or connection interfaces are properly seated to prevent air leaks that could degrade cooling performance.
• Power-up and verification: Reconnect power to the InRow unit and perform a system verification. Monitor temperatures at representative rack locations and observe that the airflow paths remain unimpeded. If available, run a brief test rack load to confirm that the roof height adapter delivers the expected improvements in static pressure, air volume, and thermal performance.
