Description​

The DeskPi 10-inch 1U Quad Fan Cooling Panel (DR-0007) is an active thermal management module engineered for compact 10-inch server racks and enclosures, such as the DeskPi RackMate T1 and RackMate T0.

Occupying only a single vertical rack unit (1U), it integrates four high-velocity cooling fans alongside an intelligent temperature-sensing circuit and real-time digital front LED display. It provides powerful targeted horizontal exhaust while conserving vertical rack space for compute and storage nodes.

Key Features​

  • High-Density 1U Form Factor: Delivers 4-fan forced-air exhaust within a compact 1U height profile.
  • Dual Operating Modes: Easily toggle between Automatic Mode (intelligent NTC temperature curve) and Manual Mode (stepped fan speed presets).
  • Front-Facing Digital Display: Real-time LED temperature readout and alarm status monitoring.
  • Programmable Alarm Thresholds: Configure minimum turn-off threshold (Close Temp) and over-temperature alert speed (Warn Temp).
  • Standard 10-Inch Compatibility: Mounts directly onto standard 10-inch rails across the RackMate series.

DC Power Connection

NTC Sensor Placement

  1. DC Power Input: Plug a certified DC 12V power adapter into the DC port.
  2. NTC Thermal Sensor: Plug the NTC sensor probe into the sensor socket and route the lead toward internal hot spots (such as SBC processors or power modules).

Fan Operating Modes & Logic​

Automatic Mode Overview

DC Port Specifications

  • Below Close Temp: The quad fans stop completely for whisper-quiet low-load operation.
  • Between Close Temp and Warn Temp: The fan speed automatically scales according to temperature changes.
  • Above Warn Temp: The quad fans operate at maximum RPM, and the digital display flashes an alarm alert.
