Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Roof-Mounted Fan Panel - 6-120V high-performance fans; 630 CFM, 5-15P plug
The Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Roof-Mounted Fan Panel is a purpose-built cooling solution designed to dramatically improve airflow within server cabinets. Engineered for data centers, edge deployments, and dense IT closets, this panel helps keep equipment performing at its best by efficiently removing hot air from the enclosure and delivering a reliable, high-volume flow of cool air where it’s needed most. With six 120V high-performance fans delivering up to 630 CFM, it’s ideal for maintaining optimal temperatures in racks densely populated with blades, storage arrays, and networking gear. The plug-and-play design, featuring a standard 5-15P outlet plug, makes it easy to deploy in a wide range of environments without requiring specialized power supplies. By integrating this roof-mounted fan panel into your SmartRack enclosure, you can reduce hotspots, improve uptime, and extend the life of critical components while keeping energy use in check.
- High-Performance Cooling: Six 120V AC fans work in concert to deliver up to 630 CFM of airflow, ensuring rapid heat removal from hot zones around dense equipment. This consistent airflow minimizes thermal throttling and helps keep CPUs, GPUs, and storage arrays within safe operating temperatures.
- SmartRack Roof-Mounted Design: Specifically engineered for SmartRack enclosures, the panel mounts to the roof to promote a direct, unobstructed airflow path. By pulling hot air from the cabinet and expelling it upward, it reduces interior recirculation and enhances cooling efficiency across the entire rack.
- Simple Power, Easy Deployment: Equipped with a standard 5-15P plug, the fan panel connects to a typical 120V outlet. This plug-and-play approach allows rapid installation in data centers, colo facilities, and office IT rooms without the need for custom wiring or adapters.
- Durable, Data-Center Ready Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of busy IT environments, the housing and mounting hardware are designed for longevity. The design also emphasizes quiet operation and reliable performance, even under sustained workloads, making it suitable for both telecommunications closets and mission-critical racks.
- Designed to Improve Overall IT Performance: By maintaining cooler cabinet temperatures, the panel helps reduce thermal stress on equipment, improve energy efficiency, and support higher rack densities. The result is improved performance consistency and potentially lower cooling costs over time.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Roof-Mounted Fan Panel
- Power down all equipment inside and around the rack. Disconnect power to ensure safety during installation.
- Confirm compatibility with your SmartRack enclosure and verify available roof mounting points and clearance.
- Remove any existing roof panel components as required, then align the fan panel with the rack’s top interface using the supplied mounting hardware.
- Secure the panel to the rack roof, tightening all fasteners to prevent vibration and ensure a stable, sealed fit that preserves airflow efficiency.
- Connect the 5-15P power plug to a dedicated 120V circuit or suitable outlet. Route cables neatly to avoid obstructing intake or exhaust paths.
- Restore power, power on the unit, and verify that all six fans start properly. Use a simple airflow check or thermometer to confirm effective cooling across the cabinet.
