Middle Atlantic 100 CFM Fan Panel, Textured & 220 - 240VAC
Enhance reliability and protect high-performance equipment with the Middle Atlantic 100 CFM Fan Panel. Designed to occupy three rackspaces, this rugged cooling solution delivers steady, quiet airflow to demanding environments such as data centers, broadcast studios, control rooms, and professional AV installations. Each assembly arrives ready to install, with two fans and grilles already in place, and a durable black textured powder coat finish that resists scuffs and fingerprints in active rack rooms. The unit is configured for 220-240 VAC operation and includes a cord and plug for effortless power connection, making it a practical upgrade for improving thermal management without complicated mods.
What makes this fan panel stand out is its balance of strong cooling performance and low noise—two critical factors when cooling dense equipment stacks. The 100 CFM rating translates to a high-volume air movement that effectively removes heat from critical components, reducing the risk of thermal throttling and extending the longevity of servers, power supplies, network switches, audio gear, and other rack-mounted devices. The panel’s three-rackspace footprint provides substantial airflow while preserving valuable rack space for additional hardware. Its black textured finish not only looks professional in professional environments but also stands up to routine wear and tear, helping to maintain a clean and unobtrusive rack appearance even after years of use. With this Middle Atlantic fan panel, operators gain a dependable, plug-and-play cooling solution that integrates seamlessly into standard 19" equipment racks.
- High-performance 100 CFM cooling in a 3U panel — Delivers robust airflow across densely populated equipment bays, helping to prevent overheating in servers, switches, amplifiers, and storage units. The design promotes even air distribution to minimize hot spots and maintain stable inlet temperatures, which supports longer hardware life and improved performance. Its airflow path is engineered to reduce recirculation and turbulence, ensuring efficient cooling with predictable results across typical rack configurations.
- Quiet operation tailored for sensitive environments — Built for low acoustic impact, the fan assembly minimizes operational noise in data centers, broadcast rooms, editing suites, and control rooms. The combination of balanced fans, optimized grille design, and vibration-damping considerations makes this panel a favorable choice for rooms where quiet ambiance matters as much as cooling performance.
- Durable textured black powder coat finish — The rugged, scratch-resistant finish provides a professional look that hides fingerprints and minor abrasions common in busy rack environments. The textured surface also helps conceal minor dings and scuffs that can occur during equipment swaps, maintenance, and rack reconfigurations, keeping the installation looking sharp over time.
- Complete assembly with fans, grilles, and power cord — Each unit ships with two fans already installed and paired with grilles for immediate operation. A included power cord and plug simplify hookup, allowing technicians to deploy the cooling solution quickly without sourcing additional parts. This turnkey approach reduces installation time and helps ensure consistent airflow right out of the box.
- 220-240 VAC compatibility for broad applicability — Suited for regions and facilities that operate at 220-240 VAC, this panel integrates smoothly with common electrical standards in data centers and AV facilities. Its 3U rack footprint makes it compatible with most standard 19" rack systems, enabling straightforward upgrades to existing cooling infrastructure without requiring major reconfigurations.

How to Install Middle Atlantic 100 CFM Fan Panel
- Prepare the rack: Power down the equipment rack and ensure there is adequate clearance around the panel for ventilation. Confirm that the rack environment is within the 220-240 VAC supply specifications and that any nearby devices do not obstruct the airflow path.
- Position the panel: Slide the fan panel into a standard 19" rack, aligning it with the appropriate 3U section. The panel is designed to fit cleanly in this space, minimizing lateral movement and ensuring a secure mounting process.
- Mount the unit: Secure the panel with the appropriate rack screws or mounting hardware in accordance with your rack system’s guidelines. Use snug but even tightening to avoid warping the chassis while maintaining solid support.
- Connect power: Attach the included cord to a suitable 220-240 VAC outlet or distribution unit, then plug the other end into the panel. Ensure that the power source is stable and that any surge protection or power conditioning devices are in place as needed for your installation.
- Verify operation and airflow: Power on the system and listen for the operating fans. Check that air is flowing through the grilles and that there are no unusual vibrations or noises. If dust accumulation is evident, perform a light cleaning of the grilles to maintain optimal airflow and cooling efficiency.
- Monitor and maintain: After installation, monitor the panel during initial operation to confirm consistent performance. Periodically inspect for dust buildup and perform routine maintenance to sustain peak airflow and cooling effectiveness over time.
