Tripp Lite by Eaton Fan Tray for 19 in. Racks - 1U, 9 120V High-Performance Fans, 864 CFM, C14 Inlet

The Tripp Lite by Eaton Fan Tray is a critical cooling solution designed to elevate airflow and temperature control inside your 19" equipment racks. Built for reliability in demanding data-center and network environments, this compact 1U fan tray delivers powerful cooling without sacrificing rack space. It is engineered to support the longevity and efficient operation of your valuable IT gear by maintaining steady temperatures across densely packed racks, helping to minimize thermal throttling and potential equipment failures. With nine high-performance fans working in concert, this fan tray provides robust airflow to critical servers, switches, storage devices, and other rack-mounted equipment, ensuring your infrastructure operates at its best even under heavy workloads.

• 1U, 9 x 120V high-performance fans deliver expansive airflow in a compact, space-saving form factor, enabling effective cooling without adding bulk to your rack setup.
• 864 CFM airflow capacity provides strong cooling performance to rapidly move hot air out of the rack and sustain favorable temperatures for sensitive equipment.
• C14 inlet ensures a reliable power connection compatible with standard data-center power distribution and appliance cords for straightforward installation.
• Designed for 19 in. racks with a standard 1U height, this fan tray fits seamlessly into most server rooms, data centers, and network closets that rely on conventional rack geometry.
• Front-to-back airflow optimization supports effective heat removal from densely populated racks, promoting cooler intake at the front and exhaust at the rear to sustain system performance.

How to Install Tripp Lite by Eaton Fan Tray for 19 in. Racks

• Power down all equipment and disconnect power sources before beginning installation to ensure safe handling of electrical components.
• Prepare a standard 19" rack in a clean, accessible area. Confirm there is adequate clearance for intake and exhaust airflow around the fan tray and nearby equipment.
• Position the 1U fan tray into the rack bay, aligning it with the vertical rails. Use the appropriate mounting hardware for your rack type to secure the unit firmly in place, ensuring stability without over-tightening.
• Connect the C14 inlet to a suitable power source or power distribution unit (PDU) that matches the unit’s electrical specifications. Verify the cord length is sufficient to reach the power connection without tension or bends.
• Power on the rack and monitor the fan tray to confirm all nine fans run smoothly and there are no unusual vibrations or obstructions. Check for proper airflow direction from front to back and ensure airflow paths remain clear of cables or equipment that could impede performance.
• Test the system under normal operating conditions by monitoring rack temperatures and ensuring equipment temperatures remain within acceptable ranges. If temperature targets aren’t met, re-check clearance, ensure no cables block intake, and consider reorganizing cabling to improve airflow.
