Rack Air Containment System (ACCS1000–
ACCS1007)—Overview
Introduction
The Rack Air Containment System (RACS) is a mechanical ducting system that attaches to the front
or rear of an enclosure to provide increased cooling capacity. The RACS is a modular system that
works with APC® NetShelter® SX enclosures and InRow® cooling units to provide maximum
cooling predictability, capacity, and efficiency. By attaching the RACS to the rear of the NetShelter
SX, air expelled from IT equipment is forced to pass through the cooling unit, where it is
conditioned. This ensures that warm exhaust air does not enter the air inlets of installed servers.
Redundant configurations allow maximum availability. Optional front containment configurations
reduce noise and provide additional control of air flow. The RACS components can be attached to a
single enclosure or a group of enclosures. The RACS consists of eight components that can be
installed separately or together, depending on your configuration.
• ACCS1000—Rear containment for InRow RC or SC cooling units
• ACCS1001—Rear containment for NetShelter SX and InRow RP cooling units
• ACCS1002—End caps for any rear- or front-containment configuration
• ACCS1003—Front containment for InRow RC or SC cooling units
• ACCS1004—Front containment for InRow RP cooling units
• ACCS1005—Front containment for NetShelter SX enclosures
• ACCS1006—Rear containment for NetShelter SX 750-mm enclosures
• ACCS1007—Front containment for NetShelter SX 750-mm enclosures
Features of the RACS
• Rear containment—Ensures server exhaust air is returned to the InRow cooling unit for
maximum cooling predictability. Prevents recirculation of hot exhaust air.
• Front containment—Ensures cold supply air is not captured by neighboring equipment.
• Modular design—Compatible with standard NetShelter SX enclosures, providing maximum
system flexibility and scalability.
• Redundant configurations—Provide N + 1 or 2N redundancy by including additional InRow
cooling units.
• Clear polycarbonate door inserts—Provide required air containment while allowing visibility
to installed IT equipment and a consistent appearance across enclosures.
• Lockable doors—Provide enclosure security.
• Noise reduction—Containment of both the front and rear of the enclosure reduces the level of
noise generated by the installed equipment.
• ACCS1000—Rear containment for InRow 300mm cooling units
• ACCS1001—Rear containment for NetShelter SX and InRow RP cooling units
• ACCS1002—End caps for any rear- or front-containment configuration
• ACCS1003—Front containment for InRow 300mm (100 series) cooling units
• ACCS1004—Front containment for InRow 600mm cooling units
• ACCS1005—Front containment for NetShelter SX enclosures
• ACCS1006—Rear containment for NetShelter SX 750-mm enclosures
• ACCS1007—Front containment for NetShelter SX 750-mm enclosures
• ACCS1009—Front containment for InRow 300mm (300 series) ACRC301S/H

Compatibility
The RACS can be coupled with one or more NetShelter SX enclosures in the following configurations:
• A ducted return and flooded supply configuration
• A ducted return and ducted supply (recommended configuration for uncontrolled environments)
The configurations listed in the following table and shown in the following figure provide hot air
retrieval and provide coupling for either redundancy or capacity.

Cross-reference symbols
If you need to remove and reinstall other equipment in order to install the RACS, see the documentation
provided with that equipment for instructions.
Tools required
Safety and handling
Note: The RACS is only intended for use with APC NetShelter SX enclosures.
Upon installation of this RACS, firmware reconfiguration of the cooling system is required.
For configuration information, see the Operation manual for your cooling unit.
Caution: The air conditioners included in the system must have a capacity exceeding the
load in the racks. Temperatures will exceed safe limits if the load exceeds the cooling
capacity.
Caution: Do not install the RACS in ambient environments where the dew point (the
temperature at which condensation begins) is expected to be greater than 18.3°C (65°F).
When you see this symbol in the RACS installation instructions, see the installation
manual of the unit for detailed instructions.
When you see this symbol in the RACS installation instructions, read the RACS System

Maintenance
Cleaning the clear polycarbonate door inserts
1. Rinse the door insert with warm water. Wash the door insert gently with a soft cloth or sponge, warm
water, and mild soap or detergent.
Caution: Do not scrub the polycarbonate door insert with brushes or squeegees.
2. Rinse the door insert again with warm water. Dry the door insert with a soft cloth or damp cellulose
sponge to prevent water spotting.
3. To remove wet paint or grease, lightly rub the door insert with VM and P grade naphtha or isopropyl
alcohol, then wash and rinse.
Compatible cleaning agents
• Aqueous solutions of soaps and detergents
• Glass and light-duty hard surface cleaner
Caution: Do not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners. Never scrape the insert with
