Middle Atlantic 50 CFM Fan Kit for MFR Series Racks

The MFR-FANKIT-2 is a purpose-built cooling upgrade for Middle Atlantic MFR series racks. This two-fan kit delivers a total of 50 CFM of airflow, engineered to move heat away from densely packed equipment and maintain consistent temperatures inside your enclosure. With two compact 3-inch DC fans and a dedicated thermostatic control, this kit provides reliable cooling without overpropping the rack with bulky cooling hardware. It’s an ideal solution for studios, control rooms, data centers, and network closets where space is at a premium but cooling demand remains high. The kit is designed to integrate seamlessly with MFR racks, providing a clean, professional appearance while preserving the integrity of your airflow path. By actively managing temperature and airflow, the MFR-FANKIT-2 helps prevent overheating, reduces vibration-induced wear, and supports longer equipment life for critical electronics, servers, and AV gear nestled inside the enclosure.

• Efficient dual-fan design delivering 50 CFM airflow for reliable cooling in MFR racks. This pair of 3-inch DC fans work in concert to move cool air through the enclosure, sweeping heat away from hot spots and providing a steady, predictable cooling profile that helps protect sensitive electronics and preserve performance even during peak workloads.
• Compact, plug-and-play installation designed for MFR series racks. The kit slides into standard 19-inch cabinets and integrates with existing mounting rails, requiring only minimal hardware and basic hand tools. Its compact footprint leaves room for cable management and other cooling components while maintaining a clean, professional rack appearance.
• Thermostatic control maintains optimal temperature with adaptive speed. The included thermostatic control module continuously monitors rack temperatures and modulates fan speed to balance cooling needs with noise and power consumption, ensuring quiet operation when full speed isn’t required and ramping up when heat rises.
• Durable, rack-ready construction built to withstand demanding environments. The MFR-FANKIT-2 uses rugged materials designed for long-term reliability in data centers, broadcast facilities, and rehearsal halls, with secure mounting hardware and heat-tolerant electronics that perform consistently over time.
• Energy-efficient cooling with easy maintenance. With a focus on low energy use and minimal maintenance, these fans provide dependable circulation and can be serviced or replaced without disturbing the entire rack, helping you keep downtime to a minimum.

How to install Middle Atlantic 50 CFM Fan Kit for MFR Series Racks

• Power down all equipment in the rack and unplug the power cords to prevent electrical shock during installation.
• Locate the appropriate mounting positions for the two 3-inch DC fans within the MFR rack. Refer to the kit’s instructions for recommended orientation, ensuring that air flows in the intended direction to maximize cooling efficiency.
• Mount the fans using the included hardware. Align mounting holes with the rack rails, secure the fans firmly, and verify there is no interference with cabling or doors. Confirm that the fan housings are stable under normal rack vibrations or movement.
• Connect the fan harness to the thermostatic control module and to the rack’s power supply as directed by the included wiring diagram. Ensure connectors click firmly into place and that polarity is correct to avoid damage to the fans or control circuit.
• Route cables neatly and use zip ties or cable management accessories to keep the airflow path clear. Reattach any panel or door, re-energize the rack, and verify that the thermostatic control is functioning by observing the fans respond to rising temperatures.
• Test the cooling performance under load. If available, simulate typical equipment heat output or use built-in rack temperature monitoring to confirm that the kit maintains the target range without excessive noise or vibration.
