4. Setup and Installation

4.1. Pre-Installation Checks

  • Identify the specific location within the aisle containment system where the height adapter brush will be installed.
  • Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from obstructions.
  • Confirm that the dimensions of the installation area are compatible with the 24in (600mm) adapter brush.

4.2. Installation Steps

  1. Position the Adapter: Carefully align the VC-AC-0011 height adapter brush with the designated mounting points on the aisle containment structure. Ensure the brush bristles face the direction requiring sealing.
  2. Secure with Hardware: Using the provided mounting hardware, attach the adapter brush to the containment system. Start by hand-tightening all screws to allow for minor adjustments.
  3. Adjust Alignment: Verify that the adapter brush is level and properly seated, creating an effective seal without excessive pressure or gaps. Adjust as necessary.
  4. Final Tightening: Once properly aligned, securely tighten all mounting screws. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the product or the containment structure.
  5. Inspect Seal: Visually inspect the installed brush to ensure a continuous and effective seal against the adjacent surface. Check for any light leakage or visible gaps.

5. Operation

The Vertiv VC-AC-0011 Height Adapter Brush is a passive component designed to maintain thermal separation within a data center's aisle containment system. Once correctly installed, it operates continuously by providing a physical barrier to prevent hot and cold air mixing.

  • Continuous Sealing: The brush maintains a constant seal against the adjacent surface, adapting to minor irregularities and preventing air bypass.
  • No Active Controls: This accessory does not require any active controls or power. Its function is purely mechanical.
  • Regular Monitoring: Periodically inspect the brush for proper contact and integrity of the seal to ensure ongoing thermal efficiency.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the continued effectiveness and longevity of your Vertiv VC-AC-0011 Height Adapter Brush.

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the brush bristles and surrounding frame using a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, a slightly damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, ensuring the surface is dried immediately afterward. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Inspection: Annually, or more frequently in dusty environments, inspect the brush for signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Check that the bristles are intact and providing a consistent seal.
  • Hardware Check: Verify that all mounting hardware remains securely tightened. Retighten if any looseness is detected.
  • Replacement: If the brush shows significant wear, damage, or is no longer providing an effective seal, it should be replaced to maintain optimal containment performance.
