how to install APC by Schneider Electric InRow RD 600mm Air Cooled with Humidifier

Installing the InRow RD is straightforward for data centers upgrading to in-row cooling. Follow these general guidelines to ensure proper fit, airflow, and environmental control:

• Plan placement so the unit sits within the data center row with clear front and rear access for servicing, cable routing, and maintenance. Confirm there is adequate space for air intake and exhaust and that the rack row provides sufficient clearance to achieve optimal front-to-back airflow.
• Verify electrical requirements and connect to a dedicated 200-240V power source with an appropriate circuit breaker. Ensure power distribution panels and outlets are rated for the unit’s load and that protective measures match local electrical standards.
• Prepare the IT rack environment by aligning the InRow RD with existing 42U cabinets. Secure the unit to the rack using standard mounting hardware, ensuring stability and level positioning for optimal airflow and equipment access.
• Connect all IT equipment cables and networks, taking care to manage cables so they do not obstruct air intake at the cabinet front. Route exhaust ducting or airflow channels as required by your data center design to maximize efficiency.
• Set up and configure the integrated humidifier according to the installation guide. Calibrate humidity targets to maintain the recommended relative humidity range for your equipment, and program alarms and monitoring to alert staff if humidity or temperature deviates from setpoints.
• Enable remote monitoring and integration with your data center infrastructure management tools if available. Regularly review environmental data, such as temperature, humidity, and air flow, to optimize performance and detect anomalies early.
