APC In-row Units
by Morgan Miskell 21 May '13

21 May '13

I realize this topic is semi off point so feel free to reply to the list or to me personally. I am wondering if anyone has any experience using the APC In-row cooling units in their data centers. I am specifically looking at the ACRD501. Do they work well? How long have you run them? Any maintenance issues? Any input would be greatly appreciated. -- Morgan A.
