Getting Started
The Ultricool is a smart, directional 1RU rack mount cooling system to compliment equipment thermal
performance when in extreme conditions or in confined spaces. Ultricool can be configured to provide directional
airflow from front to back, front to right side, or front to left side depending on equipment requirements.
Ultricool may integrate with an Ultrix router to provide automatic thermal adjustments, or operate stand-alone with
manual fan speed controls. Ultricool also provides a RossTalk interface to set the fan speeds.
Ultrix Support Overview
The default configuration of Ultricool provides enhanced thermal management for Ultrix routers particularly in
confined spaces. The right hand side fans duct front-of-rack cool air to the Ultrix router frame air intake, whilst the
left hand side fans creates a low pressure where Ultrix exhaust is drawn up and vented out the rear of the system
enclosure. This helps to prevent Ultrix ingesting the warm air within an enclosure.
