How to install Middle Atlantic Component Cooler

Installing the Component Cooler on a rack, cabinet, or platform is straightforward and designed for professional installers. Follow these steps to ensure optimal performance and reliability:

• Power down and unplug the rack gear before installation to ensure safety and prevent data loss or equipment damage.
• Choose a mounting location that allows free intake and exhaust airflow, typically beneath or adjacent to equipment on the platform or shelf.
• Mount the cooler securely to the platform or rack shelf using the provided hardware, ensuring clearance for cables and unobstructed airflow.
• Connect the included 12V power supply to a standard 120V outlet and neatly route cables to minimize interference and maintain clean rack aesthetics.
• Set the thermostatic controller to the desired temperature setpoint. The cooler will automatically activate as needed to maintain stable temperatures.
• Power on the rack and verify airflow and quiet operation. Confirm that intake and exhaust are unobstructed and generating the expected cooling effect.
