Product Information

Full details

The Rittal DK 7980.000 is a dedicated fan expansion kit designed for system administrators and industrial engineers managing active ventilation within TS IT server cabinets. It provides a reliable, high-performance solution for exhausting heat from critical electronic components, effectively preventing thermal throttling or hardware failure in high-density environments. The primary caveat is that this unit requires a compatible roof plate cut-out for installation and standard 230V mains power, making it unsuitable for low-voltage or non-standard cabinet configurations.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this fan come with a power cord?

The unit is typically designed for direct integration into cabinet power distribution systems; please check your specific kit contents for the included leads.

Can this be used in non-Rittal cabinets?

It is specifically engineered for Rittal TS IT cabinets; while it may physically fit other cut-outs of 119mm, compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.

What is the noise level of the fan?

The fan operates at approximately 37 dB(A), which is relatively quiet for industrial cooling equipment.

Is this fan speed adjustable?

No, this model operates at a fixed speed based on the supplied 50/60Hz frequency.

Does it require a filter?

While it can be used with air filters, this specific kit is primarily designed for the fan expansion mounting plate; check for compatible Rittal filter inserts if air quality is a concern.

Troubleshooting

Fan fails to spin when powered on

Verify that the 230V supply is active and that the connection cable is securely seated in the terminal block.

Noticeable rattling or vibration

Ensure that all mounting screws are tightened uniformly against the cabinet plate and verify there are no loose cables obstructing the fan blades.

Airflow seems restricted

Check for dust buildup on the fan housing or the roof plate aperture and clean with compressed air.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High airflow capacity for effective cooling
  • Tailored specifically for Rittal TS IT cabinet standards
  • Durable construction ensures long-term reliability
  • Wide operating temperature range for industrial versatility

Cons

  • Requires 230V power supply
  • Limited to specific Rittal enclosure roof plate designs
  • Non-variable speed control (fixed performance)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires access to the top of your Rittal TS IT cabinet. Ensure the rack is powered down before attempting to connect the fan to the power supply. The unit is designed to bolt directly into the pre-cut roof plate apertures provided by Rittal. For maintenance, it is recommended to inspect the fan blades annually for dust accumulation; cleaning with compressed air while the unit is powered off will maintain optimal airflow performance and prevent bearing strain. Avoid exposing the unit to moisture or extreme corrosive environments to preserve the integrity of the motor housing.
