ROOF AISLE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM
The PolarPlex
TM
Drop-Away Panels a Roofing Option for an Aisle Containment System.
These unique panels are attached to the cabinets and are deployed horizontally across the aisles to create a tight containment barrier. The panels are made of an aluminum frame with a special translucent insert. The panels are UL-listed for use below sprinkler heads and the inserts are heat sensitive and promptly move out of their setting in high heat. The panels are custom sized for each installation.
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: COLD AISLE CONTAINMENT ROOF PANELS ARE
DESIGNED TO BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE ROOF STRUCTURE
OF THE INSTALLED CABINETS.
DO NOT LEAVE ASSEMBLY UNSECURED TO CABINETS.
CABINETS MUST BE STABILIZED PRIOR TO AISLE CONTAINMENT
ROOF SYSTEM ASSEMBLY.
CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO ENSURE THE CABINET LOAD
RATING IS NOT EXCEEDED.
INTENDED USE
Drop-Away Roof Panels are for use only in a restricted service environment, such as a data center. Use indoors only, in environmentally controlled areas; do not use outdoors, in harsh environments, or in air-handling spaces. Not for use in plenums.
STORAGE OF DROP-AWAY ROOF PANELS
Aisle Containment Drop-Away Panels should be stored indoors only in environmentally controlled areas. Do not store outdoors. Do not expose to high temperatures.

INSTALLING THE DROP-AWAY ROOF PANEL SYSTEM
Component Overview
The Drop-Away Roof Panel System is comprised the following basic components:
1.
Drop-Away Panels (Sized to project)
2.
3.
4.
Aluminum L-Angle for Panel Shelf (2 sets, one for each side of aisle)
P1000 Unistrut (provided by others)
Miscellaneous nut and bolt hardware (provided by others)
Polargy, Inc.!
21
Aisle Roof Containment Manual, Rev 2.0 December 2013
Basic Supporting Framework Design
1) The Drop-Away Panels are supported by a two piece framework of an Aluminum L-Angle
(the shelf) attached to Unistrut which is attached to the tops of the cabinets.
2) The 1.5” x 1.5” Aluminum L-Angle is bolted to the P1000 Unistrut
3) The L-Angle is bolted flush to the top of the Unistrut channel so that there is a small
0.125” gap below the L-Angle so that it does not interfere with the cabinet door.
4) This L-Angle/Unistrut combination is bolted to the tops of the cabinets.
Polargy, Inc.!
22
Aisle Roof Containment Manual, Rev 2.0 December 2013
Determining the Supporting Frame Layout
1) Drop-Away Panel Length, previously determined, is used to set the spacing between rows of the P1000 Unistrut/Panel Shelf L-Angle.
2) Add 1.0” to the length of the panel to determine the distance between inside edges of the P1000 Unistrut.
3) For example, if the panels are 54.0” long, then set the distance between the inside edges of the P1000 Unistrut at 55.0”.
Polargy, Inc.!
23
Aisle Roof Containment Manual, Rev 2.0 December 2013
Installing the Supporting Frame
1) Attach the P1000 Unistrut to the tops of the cabinets. Sometimes, existing cabinet top holes can be used, other times new holes may need to be drilled.
2) Attach the Aluminum L-Angle to the Unistrut such that there is a 1/8 gap below the bottom of the L-Angle.
Polargy, Inc.!
24
Aisle Roof Containment Manual, Rev 2.0 December 2013
Installing the Drop-Away Panels
1) The Drop-Away Panels are simply lifted into place and set onto the L-Angle shelves.
2) The Drop-Away Panels rest on the horizontal edge of the L-Angles and are captured by the vertical edges of the L-Angles so that they do not fall out.
3) Optional 3M Dual Lock tabs are available to further secure the panels.

Standard Containment Panels are deployed vertically, either above the cabinets or next to the cabinets to seal off empty rack spaces. The panels are made of an aluminum frame with a twin-wall polycarbonate insert. The panels are custom sized for each installation.
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: VERTICAL CONTAINMENT PANELS ARE DESIGNED TO BE
SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE ROOF STRUCTURE OF THE
INSTALLED CABINETS OR TO THE FLOOR.
DO NOT LEAVE PANELS UNSECURED ON THE CABINETS.
CABINETS MUST BE STABILIZED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF THE
STANDARD PANELS.
CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO ENSURE THE CABINET LOAD

INTENDED USE
Standard Panels are for use only in a restricted service environment, such as a data center. Use indoors only, in environmentally controlled areas; do not use outdoors, in harsh environments, or in air-handling spaces. Not for use in plenums.

Aisle Roof Containment Manual, Rev 2.0 December 2013
Basic Supporting Framework Design
1) There is an existing two piece framework of an Aluminum L-Angle and Unistrut on the cabinet tops that supports the Drop-Away Roof Panels.
2) This Unistrut framework serves as the upper support of the Standard Panels, along with the floor F-Channel and 3M Dual Lock.
3) For 24” to 96” empty sections between racks, the support of the adjacent cabinets is sufficient to hold the Unistrut.
4) For empty sections beyond 96”, then additional vertical Unistrut is added.
5) The brackets for the vertical Unistrut should be in line with the horizontal Unistrut so that there is a clear mounting surface for the Standard Panels.
Polargy, Inc.!
28
Aisle Roof Containment Manual, Rev 2.0 December 2013
Installing the Vertical Unistrut to the Horizontal Unistrut
1) On the bottom attach two standard 90-degree brackets to the vertical P1000 Unistrut such that the brackets are in line with the horizontal Unistrut roof support.
2) At the top attach two standard 90-degree brackets to the vertical P1000 Unistrut such that the brackets are in line with the horizontal Unistrut roof support.

4) Press the top of the Standard Panel against the horizontal Unistrut/3M Dual Tabs to secure it in place.
