1. Konfigurazioa eta instalazioa

The AC Infinity CLOUDPLATE T9 is designed for installation in standard 19-inch equipment racks, occupying three rack units (3U) of space. Ensure adequate space and ventilation around the unit for optimal performance.

1.1 Paketearen edukia

Before installation, verify that all components are present:

  • CLOUDPLATE T9 Fan Unit
  • Corded 6-ft Thermal Probe
  • Rack Mount Screws
  • Kaiola Intxaurrak
  • Corded 6-ft Power Supply
AC Infinity CLOUDPLATE T9 accessories including thermal probe, power supply, and mounting hardware.

1.2 Unitatea muntatzea

  1. Identify the desired 3U rack space for installation. The unit is designed for exhaust airflow and should ideally be positioned near the top of the rack to effectively remove heated air.
  2. Align the mounting holes on the CLOUDPLATE T9 with the corresponding holes on your equipment rack.
  3. Secure the unit using the provided rack mount screws and cage nuts. Ensure the unit is firmly attached to prevent vibration.

1.3 Connecting the Thermal Probe and Power

  1. Connect the thermal probe to the designated port on the CLOUDPLATE T9 unit.
  2. Position the thermal probe within the rack where temperature monitoring is most critical, typically near heat-generating equipment. The probe cable is 6 feet long, allowing flexible placement.
  3. Connect the power supply to the unit and then plug it into a standard 100-240V AC outlet.

2.2 Operating Modes and Settings

The controller offers automated speed control and various programmable features:

  • SMART modua: Automatically adjusts fan speed in response to varying temperatures, optimizing cooling efficiency and noise levels.
  • Eskuzko modua: Allows users to set a fixed fan speed from 1 to 6.
  • Tenperatura-alarmak: Configurable alerts for high temperatures.
  • Fan Failure Triggers: Notifies users if a fan is not operating correctly.
  • Power Savings Setting: Energia-kontsumoa optimizatzen du.
  • Pantailaren blokeoa: Ezarpenetan ustekabeko aldaketak saihesten ditu.
  • Babeskopia memoria: Ezarpenak mantentzen ditu itzaltzeantages.

2.3 Airflow and Cooling Principles

The CLOUDPLATE T9 is an exhaust fan system, designed to pull hot air out of the rack. For optimal cooling, it is recommended to have an intake fan system at the bottom of the rack to draw in cooler air, creating a consistent airflow path.

2.4 Unitate anitzak kateatzen

For enhanced cooling in larger setups, additional CLOUDPLATE units can be daisy-chained to share the same controller programming. This allows for synchronized operation and centralized control of multiple fan panels.

3. Mantentzea

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your CLOUDPLATE T9 unit.

3.1 Garbiketa

Periodically inspect the fan grilles and blades for dust accumulation. Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently clean the surfaces. Ensure the unit is powered off before cleaning.

3.2 Fan Longevity

The CLOUDPLATE T9 features custom-engineered dual-ball bearing fans, rated for an L10 life expectancy of 67,000 hours. These bearings allow for reliable operation in both horizontal and vertical mounting positions.

4. Arazoak

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your CLOUDPLATE T9.

4.1 Fan Not Operating

  • Egiaztatu potentzia: Ensure the power supply is securely connected to both the unit and a working electrical outlet.
  • Kontrolagailuaren ezarpenak: Verify that the fan speed is not set to zero or that the unit is not in a mode that keeps fans off (e.g., if the temperature is below the set threshold in SMART mode).
  • Fan Failure Warning: If a fan failure warning is displayed, inspect the individual fans for obstructions or damage.

4.2 Gehiegizko zarata

  • Fan abiadura: Higher fan speeds (levels 4-6) will naturally produce more noise. Consider using SMART mode to allow the unit to adjust speed based on temperature, often resulting in quieter operation.
  • Oztopoak: Ensure no cables or other objects are interfering with the fan blades.
  • Muntaketa: Verify the unit is securely mounted and not vibrating against the rack frame.

4.3 Ineffective Cooling

  • Airflow Path: Confirm that there is a clear path for cool air intake (typically at the bottom of the rack) and hot air exhaust (at the CLOUDPLATE T9). Blocked vents or equipment can hinder airflow.
  • Thermal Probe Placement: Ensure the thermal probe is positioned accurately to measure the hottest area within the rack.
  • Fan abiadura: Increase the fan speed or adjust SMART mode settings to a lower target temperature if equipment is still overheating.
