Middle Atlantic Fan Tray

Designed for installations where quiet operation is non‑negotiable, the Middle Atlantic Fan Tray delivers reliable cooling in a compact, two‑rackspace package. This Ultra Quiet Fan Panel System provides smart cooling and monitoring to ensure a dependable installation in environments where fan noise cannot disrupt the experience—boardrooms, classrooms, offices, houses of worship, and other critical spaces. Thermostatic, proportional speed DC fan control ensures ultra quiet operation while maintaining optimal temperatures for your gear. Built to withstand the rigors of professional AV setups, it integrates seamlessly into standard 19" racks, delivering efficient airflow without sacrificing ambient comfort or visual appeal.

• Advanced cooling for quiet environments: This two‑rackspace Ultra Quiet Fan Panel System delivers robust airflow without intrusive noise. The thermostatic, proportional speed DC control automatically adjusts fan speed in response to real‑time thermal conditions, delivering maximum cooling when demand spikes and dialing back to a whisper when the load drops. The result is consistent equipment temperatures, minimized thermal stress, and a noticeably quieter presentation space—ideal for boardrooms, classrooms, offices, and places of worship where silence is essential.
• Smart monitoring and safety features: The fan tray continuously monitors temperature and fan health, providing clear status indicators that help technicians verify proper cooling. Built‑in fault reporting and thermal protection guard against overheating and unexpected fan faults, helping to prevent downtime and extend the life of sensitive gear. With proactive alerts, operators can take corrective action before temperatures rise, preserving performance in mission‑critical installations.
• Flexible installation and rack compatibility: Occupying two rack spaces (2U) in a standard 19" rack, the unit fits neatly into existing installations without requiring extensive rework. It includes mounting rails and a clean rear area for cable management, enabling neat wiring and unobstructed airflow. Its compact footprint makes it a versatile cooling option for classrooms, boardrooms, religious facilities, and other environments where rack space is at a premium but reliable cooling remains non‑negotiable.
• Energy efficiency and durable design: A brushless DC motor delivers reliable, low‑noise operation with reduced heat generation. Proportional control optimizes energy use by matching fan speed to actual cooling needs, which helps lower power consumption and extend component life. The overall design emphasizes long‑term dependability, minimal maintenance, and consistent performance across a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Trusted performance and support: Middle Atlantic is known for rugged, profession‑grade rack equipment designed for continuous use in demanding environments. The Fan Tray embodies that heritage—engineered for easy servicing, compatibility with other rack gear, and backed by manufacturer support and regional warranties. It’s a dependable choice for integrators seeking a cooling solution they can trust in high‑traffic AV installations.

How to install Middle Atlantic Fan Tray

• Step 1: Confirm compatibility. Verify that your rack is a standard 19" enclosure and that there is at least 2U of vertical space available for the fan tray. Check for clear rear clearance to accommodate airflow and cabling.
• Step 2: Prepare the rack. Ensure the mounting area is clean, free of obstructions, and that there is adequate space behind the rack for ventilation and service access. Gather all mounting hardware and power connections as specified by the manufacturer.
• Step 3: Mount the unit. Slide the fan tray into the designated two‑rackspace (2U) area and secure it with the included screws, making sure the chassis is level and firmly fastened to prevent vibration during operation.
• Step 4: Run power and connections. Connect the DC power supply per the installation manual and route control or monitoring wiring as required, avoiding tight bends or pinched cables that could impede airflow.
• Step 5: Configure thermostat and monitoring. Set the temperature setpoint according to your environment and equipment needs. Verify that the fan ramps smoothly with temperature changes and that status indicators reflect normal operation.
• Step 6: Test and verify. Power on the system, listen for the ultra quiet operation, confirm adequate airflow at rear exhaust, and validate that all monitoring indicators report normal temperatures and fan health.
