2.2 Operating Modes and Settings

The controller offers automated speed control and various programmable features:

• Mod SMART: Automatically adjusts fan speed in response to varying temperatures, optimizing cooling efficiency and noise levels.
• Mod Manual: Allows users to set a fixed fan speed from 1 to 6.
• Penggera Suhu: Configurable alerts for high temperatures.
• Fan Failure Triggers: Notifies users if a fan is not operating correctly.
• Power Savings Setting: Mengoptimumkan penggunaan tenaga.
• Kunci Paparan: Menghalang perubahan tidak sengaja pada tetapan.
• Memori Sandaran: Mengekalkan tetapan semasa kuasa outages.

Refer to the on-screen menu for detailed instructions on adjusting specific settings.

2.3 Airflow and Cooling Principles

The CLOUDPLATE T9 is an exhaust fan system, designed to pull hot air out of the rack. For optimal cooling, it is recommended to have an intake fan system at the bottom of the rack to draw in cooler air, creating a consistent airflow path.

2.4 Daisy-Chaining Multiple Units

For enhanced cooling in larger setups, additional CLOUDPLATE units can be daisy-chained to share the same controller programming. This allows for synchronized operation and centralized control of multiple fan panels.

3. Penyelenggaraan

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your CLOUDPLATE T9 unit.

3.1 Pembersihan

Periodically inspect the fan grilles and blades for dust accumulation. Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently clean the surfaces. Ensure the unit is powered off before cleaning.

3.2 Fan Longevity

The CLOUDPLATE T9 features custom-engineered dual-ball bearing fans, rated for an L10 life expectancy of 67,000 hours. These bearings allow for reliable operation in both horizontal and vertical mounting positions.

4. Penyelesaian masalah

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your CLOUDPLATE T9.

4.1 Kipas Tidak Beroperasi

• Semak Kuasa: Ensure the power supply is securely connected to both the unit and a working electrical outlet.
• Tetapan Pengawal: Verify that the fan speed is not set to zero or that the unit is not in a mode that keeps fans off (e.g., if the temperature is below the set threshold in SMART mode).
• Fan Failure Warning: If a fan failure warning is displayed, inspect the individual fans for obstructions or damage.

4.2 Bunyi Berlebihan

• Kelajuan Kipas: Higher fan speeds (levels 4-6) will naturally produce more noise. Consider using SMART mode to allow the unit to adjust speed based on temperature, often resulting in quieter operation.
• Halangan: Ensure no cables or other objects are interfering with the fan blades.
• Pemasangan: Verify the unit is securely mounted and not vibrating against the rack frame.

4.3 Ineffective Cooling

• Airflow Path: Confirm that there is a clear path for cool air intake (typically at the bottom of the rack) and hot air exhaust (at the CLOUDPLATE T9). Blocked vents or equipment can hinder airflow.
• Thermal Probe Placement: Ensure the thermal probe is positioned accurately to measure the hottest area within the rack.
• Kelajuan Kipas: Increase the fan speed or adjust SMART mode settings to a lower target temperature if equipment is still overheating.
