4.3.4 Install 2T Sensors on Racks to be Monitored
Both temperature sensors attached to a 2T sensor housing are to be installed on the same rack. The
sensor can be attached to the inside or outside of the rack's front door.
• One temperature sensor is to be attached near the top of the rack's front door by using a cable tie
to secure the wire to the perforation (approx. 12 inches [305mm] from the top). Do not wrap a
cable tie around the actual sensor on the end of the wire. This sensor will monitor for hot air
wrapping over the top of the rack from the hot aisle.
• The other temperature sensor is to be attached to the rack’s front door, centered in front of the
heat-generating equipment that will be drawing in air.
• If the rack is completely filled with equipment, attach the sensor to the middle of the door as
determined by both width and height.
• If the rack is partially filled with equipment, locate the sensor in the center of the equipment on
the front door.
•Do not:
• Install a sensor in the hot aisle.
• Leave a sensor coiled on top of or inside the rack.
• With the temperature sensors in place, neatly route the wires up the rack door and into the rack
using the supplied cable ties. Be sure to leave an appropriate amount of slack in the cable to allow
the rack door to open and close without binding or pinching the wires.
• Affix the 2T sensor housing to the rack using the supplied hook-and-loop fastener. It is
recommended that the housing be installed in an easily accessible space with the sensor number
label visible in case the housing needs accessed at a later time.
Repeat this process until all sensors have been installed.
