how to install iStarUSA WA-3FAN-120AC Cooling Fan

• Power down and unplug your cabinet or equipment before beginning installation.
• Choose the mounting location: decide whether you will install the WA-3FAN-120AC at the front or rear of the cabinet based on your cooling strategy and airflow pattern.
• Open or remove access panels as needed to access the mounting points and screw holes aligned with standard 19" rack dimensions.
• Align the WA-3FAN-120AC unit with the cabinet’s pre-drilled holes. Ensure the fans are oriented to push or pull air in the desired direction for optimal airflow across components.
• Attach the fan assembly securely using appropriate screws or mounting hardware recommended by iStarUSA for rack installations. Tighten screws evenly to prevent warping and ensure a stable fit.
• Connect the power leads to the 120V AC supply or use the included power harness if provided. Verify connections are solid and insulated to avoid shorts or loose contacts.
• Reassemble any panels, restore power, and run a low-speed test to confirm airflow direction, noise levels, and overall operation before returning equipment to full load.
• Monitor temperatures after installation to ensure the cooling setup meets your workload requirements. Adjust fan orientation or add additional cooling as needed for optimal performance.
