How to Install Middle Atlantic COMPCOOL Fan Tray

• Power down all equipment and unplug from electrical outlets before starting installation to ensure safety and prevent damage.
• Open the rack, align the COMPCOOL fan tray with the front rails of the 19" enclosure, and slide it into position where cooling intake and exhaust have clear access.
• Secure the tray using the included mounting hardware to guarantee a stable, vibration-free fit that won’t shift during operation.
• Connect the fan tray to a 120 V AC power source within the rack, using a nearby outlet or power distribution unit (PDU). Ensure a clean power path to avoid interference with other equipment.
• Verify operation by powering on the system and confirming that the fan is running and airflow is unobstructed. Avoid placing cables or components directly in front of the intake to preserve maximum cooling efficiency.
