Description
Tripp Lite by Eaton Sliding Double-Door Kit for Hot/Cold Aisle Containment System
Optimize data center cooling and equipment performance with the Tripp Lite by Eaton Sliding Double-Door Kit for Hot/Cold Aisle Containment. This smart containment solution is designed to secure a rack aisle while precisely trapping either cold or hot air within the enclosure, helping to reduce energy consumption, lower operating temperatures, and extend the life of critical equipment. Engineered to integrate with SmartRack systems, this sliding double-door kit delivers reliable airflow control, seamless installation, and durable performance in demanding server-room environments.
-
Enhanced cooling efficiency for data centers
By preventing hot exhaust from mixing with cooled intake, the kit minimizes temperature rise around racks and supports more stable cooling performance across the data center. The containment approach helps CRAC units respond more efficiently, potentially reducing overall cooling energy while maintaining consistent server temperatures. With predictable airflow, you can mitigate hot spots and support higher-density deployments without sacrificing reliability.
-
Secure locking and controlled access
The sliding doors feature a secure locking mechanism that ensures the rack aisle remains contained when desired. This not only improves airflow control but also adds a layer of physical access security for sensitive equipment. When closed, the doors form a tight seal that minimizes air leakage, helping to preserve the integrity of the cold aisle and the performance of adjacent racks.
-
Durable construction and straightforward installation
Constructed from heavy-duty steel with a durable, powder-coated finish, the kit is built to withstand the rigors of a busy data center environment. The design prioritizes reliability and long-term durability, ensuring consistent operation even in high-density deployments. Its mounting system is designed for compatibility with standard 19-inch racks and Tripp Lite SmartRack heavy-duty double doors, enabling a relatively quick, tool-assisted installation that minimizes downtime.
-
Seamless integration with SmartRack systems
Engineered to work specifically with Tripp Lite SmartRack heavy-duty double doors, this kit integrates neatly into existing enclosures for a cohesive look and function. The compatibility ensures a streamlined retrofit or new-install solution without requiring extensive modifications to the cabinet or room layout. This seamless integration supports consistent containment performance across multiple racks in a single row or data hall.
-
Designed for hot aisle/cold aisle configurations
Purpose-built to create a distinct boundary between hot exhaust and cold intake, the sliding double-door kit effectively preserves the separation essential to hot aisle/cold aisle deployments. In environments with dense server portfolios or blade enclosures, this containment kit helps maintain stable temperatures at the rack level, improving equipment reliability and reducing the risk of temperature-driven faults.

How to Install Tripp Lite Sliding Double-Door Kit
- Step 1: Verify compatibility with your rack enclosure (SmartRack heavy-duty double doors) and confirm the 19-inch mounting width; gather the included mounting hardware and a suitable screwdriver or wrench. Ensure the area around the cabinet is clear and safe for installation.
- Step 2: If your cabinet currently has doors, remove them according to the manufacturer instructions, and prepare the doorway for the new sliding double doors. Inspect the door tracks and mounting rails for any damage before proceeding.
- Step 3: Attach the sliding door rails to the rack frame using the provided hardware, aligning the rails with the enclosure and ensuring level mounting. Tighten fasteners securely but avoid over-tightening, which could warp components.
- Step 4: Fit the two sliding door panels into the rails, adjust for smooth operation, and check that the doors seal properly when closed. Use any provided spacers or gaskets to improve airtight containment and minimize air leakage.
- Step 5: Engage the locking mechanism, test opening and closing, and confirm that cold or hot air is contained as intended; perform a basic airflow check using a thermometer or HVAC monitoring tool if available.
