Rack Solutions Fantray for RACK-151 Server Cabinet
The Rack Solutions Fantray is a purpose-built cooling accessory engineered to maximize airflow within the RACK-151 server cabinet. Designed to mount directly to the ceiling of the Rack-151, this fan tray employs six 120mm fans to push hot air out of the enclosure, delivering robust cooling performance where it matters most. By channeling hot exhaust away from equipment and defects in air distribution, this fan tray helps you optimize cooling efficiency and approach your data center’s best-practice PUE goals. Built with a focus on reliability and straightforward installation, the Fantray integrates seamlessly with RackSolutions’ RACK-151 to deliver consistent, low-latency airflow that keeps critical components running cooler and more efficiently.
- Six high-capacity 120mm fans deliver strong, steady airflow across the cabinet interior. Each fan is designed to move air efficiently, reducing hotspots and helping maintain uniform temperatures across racks and devices when installed in the Rack-151 ceiling mounting position.
- Ceiling-mount design for direct exhaust the fan tray installs at the cabinet’s ceiling, enabling hot air to rise and be expelled from the unit. This strategic placement supports improved air separation and airflow management, which is essential for maintaining optimal server performance and reliability in dense deployments.
- Optimized for RackSolutions RACK-151 compatibility ensures an OEM-aligned fit and secure mounting. The fantray is built to integrate with the RACK-151 chassis, providing a clean, professional appearance and dependable operation within RackSolutions’ own ecosystem.
- Improved cooling efficiency and energy use by expelling hot air more effectively, the Fantray contributes to better overall cooling performance and can help reduce energy consumption in data centers and server rooms, supporting lower PUE and more sustainable operation over time.
- Easily installable with minimal disruption the six-fan configuration and ceiling-mount footprint are designed for straightforward installation. The fantray is intended to be a drop-in upgrade for the RACK-151, enabling administrators to upgrade cooling without major cabinet alterations.

How to Install Rack Solutions Fantray for RACK-151 Server Cabinet
Follow these general guidelines to install the Rack Solutions Fantray in a Rack-151 cabinet. Ensure you have all required tools and that the cabinet is powered down and unplugged before beginning installation.
- Power down all equipment inside the RACK-151 and disconnect any connected cables to prevent damage during installation.
- Access the ceiling area of the RACK-151 where the fantray will attach. Confirm there are available mounting points that align with the fantray’s mounting hardware.
- Position the fantray so the six 120mm fans align with the interior space and the cabinet’s exhaust path. Carefully lift and place the unit onto the ceiling mounting area.
- Secure the fantray to the cabinet using the supplied hardware. Hand-tighten first to ensure proper alignment, then snug securely without over-tightening to avoid damaging mounting points.
- Connect the fantray’s power connector to the appropriate power source per the documentation. Verify all connections are secure and that any wiring is neatly organized to avoid interference with doors, cables, or other accessories.
- Restore power to the cabinet, power on the fantray, and monitor airflow and temperature within the cabinet. Confirm that hot air is being effectively exhausted and that cooling performance aligns with expectations for your rack deployment.
