Abstract

A system for cooling rack mounted equipment includes: a rack configured to house rack mounted equipment, the rack providing a front port bordered by a top and two sides; and a cold-air duct separable from and attached to the rack about the top and two sides, the duct being configured to be in fluid communication with a region adjacent to the duct to receive air from the region, the duct includes: a front member; side members coupled to the front member; and an end member configured to selectively allow the passage of air through the end component from the region into the duct; where the duct is attached to the rack to form a substantially airtight seal between the rack and the duct.
