Middle Atlantic DWRFK26 Fan Tray – Dual-Fan Rack Cooling Solution

The Middle Atlantic DWRFK26 Fan Tray is a purpose-built, dual-fan cooling module designed to protect critical equipment housed in professional rack environments. In studios, control rooms, data centers, and live production setups, heat is a constant challenge that can throttle performance, shorten component life, and create audible distractions. The DWRFK26 tackles this head-on by delivering steady, targeted airflow to heat-prone zones inside standard 19-inch racks. Built to withstand demanding workflows and heavy use, this fan tray blends reliable performance with straightforward installation, enabling you to maximize uptime and protect your investments without complicating your rack design. With two high-performance fans, a rugged steel frame, and compatibility with a wide range of Middle Atlantic accessories, the DWRFK26 provides a modular, scalable cooling solution that grows with your system needs while maintaining a clean, professional appearance in the equipment bay.

• Two high-performance cooling fans deliver consistent airflow across hot zones, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures for servers, network gear, AV processors, and other heat-generating equipment. The dual-fan design supports redundancy and balanced cooling, reducing the risk of hotspots and thermal throttling in densely packed racks.
• Quiet, efficient operation keeps workplace noise to a minimum. Advanced fan design and bearings lower noise output while maintaining solid airflow, so critical equipment stays cool without adding disruptive sound to conversations, recordings, or live productions.
• Rugged, corrosion-resistant steel construction with a durable powder-coated finish. The DWRFK26 is built to endure the rigors of busy environments—from broadcast studios to data centers—while maintaining a clean, professional look that aligns with other Middle Atlantic components.
• Simple, flexible installation that fits standard 19-inch racks. The tray slides into rails and is secured with common rack hardware, enabling a quick upgrade to your cooling strategy without requiring specialized tools or extensive downtime.
• Modular integration with Middle Atlantic ecosystem. Designed to work alongside blank panels, cable management accessories, and other rack-mount accessories, the DWRFK26 enables scalable cooling tailored to your rack layout and cooling needs as your equipment expands.

How to install Middle Atlantic DWRFK26 Fan Tray

• Power down and unplug all equipment in the rack. If your rack has removable front covers or blanking panels, remove them as needed to access the mounting area.
• Identify a suitable bay in the 19-inch rack where the DWRFK26 will be installed. Ensure there is enough clearance for airflow behind and around the tray and that cabling won’t obstruct ventilation.
• Slide the fan tray into the rack rails, aligning the mounting holes with the rack’s vertical posts. Secure the unit with the included screws or the rack’s standard mounting hardware, taking care to keep the tray level and stable.
• Connect the power wiring or harness to the tray according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring voltage compatibility and safe routing of cables to avoid interference with airflow.
• Power on the system and test the fans for proper operation. Listen for unusual noise which could indicate mounting issues or misalignment. Reinstall any front panels and tidy cabling to maximize airflow and maintain a professional appearance.
