Middle Atlantic High CFM Split Rear Door

The Middle Atlantic High CFM Split Rear Door is engineered to protect critical equipment from the damaging effects of heat produced by servers, NVRs, and DVRs. In dense rack configurations, hot air can accumulate quickly, leading to hotter operating temperatures and potential performance degradation. This high-flow rear door is designed to pull heat away from densely populated enclosures and direct it toward air returns, delivering targeted cooling where it’s needed most. With a factory-configured setup that includes six 6-inch fans, this rear door delivers immediate, reliable airflow to help extend equipment life, reduce hotspots, and enhance overall data center and AV room reliability.

• Enhanced cooling for dense racks: The high-flow design efficiently extracts hot air from tightly packed enclosures, channeling it upward toward air returns to improve cooling efficiency and reduce temperature variance across the rack.
• Pre-installed six 6" fans: The unit arrives ready to use with six 6-inch fans, delivering robust, consistent airflow out of the box and minimizing installation time.
• Durable construction for demanding environments: Built from rugged steel with a resilient powder-coated finish, this rear door stands up to daily use in data centers, server rooms, and broadcast environments.
• Easy compatibility and retrofit capability: Designed to fit standard 19" racks and a wide range of Middle Atlantic enclosures, it offers straightforward mounting with included hardware for quick replacement or upgrade.
• Balanced, quiet operation and energy efficiency: The airflow optimization minimizes noise while maximizing cooling performance, helping maintain a comfortable workspace and potentially lowering cooling energy costs.

How to install Middle Atlantic High CFM Split Rear Door

• Prepare the rack: Power down and unplug all equipment inside the enclosure, verify there is sufficient clearance at the rear for the door and its fans, and remove any obstructing panels if necessary.
• Remove or prepare the existing rear door: If your enclosure currently uses a different rear door, remove or loosen it according to the rack manufacturer’s instructions to make space for the High CFM Split Rear Door.
• Position the new door: Align the High CFM Split Rear Door with the rack’s 19" mounting rails at the rear of the enclosure, ensuring the air intake and exhaust paths will align with the enclosure interior and the room’s airflow.
• Secure the door: Use the supplied mounting hardware to fasten the door firmly to the rack rails, confirming that it is level and properly seated to prevent air leakage and ensure long-term stability.
• Connect power and verify wiring: Attach the door’s fan wiring to the appropriate rack power source following the included wiring guide. Confirm all connections are secure and that the power supply matches the fans’ electrical requirements.
• Test and validate: Restore power to the enclosure, power up all devices, and verify that all six fans operate smoothly. Observe the airflow path from the rear door toward the room’s air returns and confirm there are no obstructions or unusual noises.
