Tripp Lite by Eaton Roof Panel Kit for Hot/Cold Aisle Containment System - Wide 750 mm Racks

The Tripp Lite by Eaton Roof Panel Kit is a crucial upgrade for data centers and server rooms that demand precise temperature control, improved equipment performance, and streamlined cooling management. Specifically engineered for wide 750 mm racks, this roof panel kit plugs the top of your hot/cold aisle containment system to create an effective barrier between supply air and exhaust, dramatically reducing hot air recirculation and maximizing cooling efficiency. When deployed as part of a comprehensive containment strategy, this kit helps reduce energy consumption, lower total cost of ownership, and support more consistent, reliable server operation. Precision-engineered for compatibility and ease of use, it’s an essential component for modern data centers seeking to optimize airflow, protect critical equipment, and extend the life of cooling infrastructure.

• Superior containment efficiency: The roof panel kit delivers a tight, gasketed seal along the top of the containment enclosure. By eliminating gaps and seams that allow hot air to mix with cold supply air, it substantially minimizes air leakage and hot-aisle recirculation. The result is more stable inlet temperatures for IT equipment, improved airflow uniformity across the rack, and a noticeable drop in cooling energy requirements over time.
• Wide 750 mm rack compatibility: Precisely designed to fit wide 750 mm server racks, this roof panel kit integrates smoothly with Tripp Lite hot/cold aisle containment systems. The modular design accommodates standard top frames and works alongside existing containment components to deliver a seamless, robust enclosure that maintains consistent airflow across the full rack width.
• Durable construction and maintenance-friendly design: Built from rugged steel with a durable, protective finish, the roof panels resist the wear and tear of busy data centers. The modular construction simplifies cleaning and future upgrades, helping you keep airflow paths clear and ensuring long-term performance even in high-density deployments.
• Fast, tool-friendly installation: The kit includes mounting hardware and alignment features that streamline attachment to wide-rack tops. With straightforward instructions, you can deploy or reconfigure containment quickly without specialized tools, minimizing downtime and reducing maintenance cycles while enhancing overall reliability.
• Energy efficiency and operational savings: By minimizing hot-aisle leakage and preserving a stable thermal boundary, the roof panel kit enables colder, more uniform supply air to IT equipment. This can support lower fan speeds, improved cooling efficiency, and measurable reductions in energy consumption, contributing to a lower data center PUE over time.

How to install Tripp Lite Roof Panel Kit for Hot/Cold Aisle Containment System

• Prepare the installation area: Inspect the containment system and rack top, verify compatibility with the 750 mm wide configuration, and clear the workspace to allow clean mounting and alignment of the roof panels.
• Unpack and verify components: Lay out all roof panel kit components, check that you have the panels, mounting hardware, gaskets, and the installation guide. Confirm that no parts are damaged in transit before beginning.
• Align the roof panels: Position the panels over the top of the rack so that gasket surfaces align with the rack edges and the widest portion covers the containment opening. Ensure a uniform gap-free interface along all sides before securing.
• Attach with mounting hardware: Use the included screws, brackets, and fasteners to secure the roof panels to the rack top. Tighten hardware firmly without over-tightening to avoid distorting panels or gaskets, then check for a flush, even fit around the perimeter.
• Seal seams and verify fit: Confirm that all gasket interfaces are seated properly and that seams form a continuous barrier. Re-check alignment and clearance to ensure there is no contact with cables or components that could impede airflow.
• Test the containment: Run a brief airflow or smoke-test-type check (as appropriate for your environment) to verify that cold supply air travels unobstructed into the rack and that hot air remains contained within the exhaust path. Make any necessary adjustments to seals or alignment and re-test until airflow is optimal.
