Temperature override
The kW settings on the fan speed selector run the fans at a constant speed, while the exhaust
temperature settings adjust the fan speed depending on the exhaust temperature of the equipment in
the rack. The Rack Air Removal Unit is equipped with a temperature override that protects the
equipment in the rack while the unit is in kW mode. If the unit is in kW mode, and the exhaust
temperature rises above 40.5° C (105° F) (the override setpoint), the unit increases the fan speed to
remove excess heat from the rack.
