Drop Away Ceilings
AisleLok® Drop Away Ceilings are a key component of Upsite’s Rigid Containment solution and are designed for cold aisle applications with raised floor supply. With in-row cooling, Drop Away Ceilings can be used on either hot aisles or cold aisles.
Chimneys
AisleLok® Chimneys are a key component of Upsite’s Rigid Containment solution and are designed for hot aisle applications to fully duct air to ceiling plenum return or direct exhaust vertically in non-fully ducted applications. Chimneys can also be used in cold aisle applications to capture supply air from overhead ducted supply.
Filler Panels
AisleLok Filler Panels are removable or fixed aluminum framed wall structures that provide separation between data center hot aisles and cold aisles.
Filler Panels are an ideal solution for containing airflow when rows are not fully populated with cabinets, or gaps are caused by columns or other obstructions.
Adjustable Rack Gap Panel
The AisleLok® Adjustable Rack Gap Panel is an ideal solution for closing off gaps between racks, such as those created by building support columns or missing IT racks. For non-metallic surfaces, the AisleLok Striker Plate Kit (10164-SPK) can be attached to allow for installation of the Adjustable Rack Gap Panel in areas where an adjacent cabinet is not present.
Modular Walls
AisleLok® Modular Walls are an ideal solution for creating separation between hot aisles, cold aisles, and other areas of a data center to help contain and manage airflow. The Modular Wall comes in five standard lengths of 4′, 8′, 12′, 16′, and 20′ and a standard height of 8′, but can also be purchased in various custom lengths and heights. The aluminum support framing is available in a choice of clear or black anodized finish. Total installation time varies by size, but is typically 15-20 minutes for a 12′ section.
