Introduction The FM-1/FM-1R was developed to address the growing need for cabinet and rack system cooling, and it does so in a quiet, low profile and unobstrusive fashion. This single-rack fan design will draw up to 150 cubic feet of air per minute. Dual 12VDC brushless motors maintain whisper quiet operation without noise feeding back into the 120V circuits. Temperature-sensitive speed control provides just the right amount of cooling at just the right times, thus minimizing background fan noise.
