Hot Aisle Containment System iGeneral Information
The Hot Aisle Containment System encloses an aisle to collect and cool equipment exhaust, making it available for cool air intakes. This creates a self-contained system capable of supporting high power density loads.
The Hot Aisle Containment System can be built using new equipment or with existing equipment.

System Configuration
Existing equipment used to create the Hot Aisle Containment System must meet dimensional requirements. If your existing layout must be altered to meet these requirements, consider an arrangement that does not require moving and turning off the power to the UPS and PDU. If your new configuration requires that the PDU and/or UPS must be moved, you will be required to remove power from that system.

See the installation manuals provided with the equipment for installation procedures.

Installation
Layout and Position of the Main Components
1. Determine the position of the main components and the total length of the Hot Aisle Containment System. Using a chalk line or a similar tool, lay out the perimeter, making sure all corners are square.
Note
If the existing equipment requires no adjustments, see “Door Frame Assembly and Installation” on page 9.
