APC NetShelter Rack Containment, Front Assembly, for InRow 300mm

The APC ACCS1003 is a front containment assembly that mounts to NetShelter SX enclosures and pairs with InRow 300 mm cooling units to guide warm exhaust air directly into the cooling path. By sealing the rack’s front face, it helps maintain consistent intake temperatures for servers, improves cooling efficiency, and supports higher equipment densities without overtaxing the HVAC system.

This assembly proves especially useful in data centers and server rooms where mixed equipment loads create hot spots or where floor space limits the use of full hot-aisle containment. Administrators who need predictable airflow and quieter operation will value the way the front containment design reduces recirculation and dampens noise.

The modular structure lets you add the panel to a single cabinet or extend it across a row as your environment grows. Installation is straightforward because APC supplies the mounting hardware and a clear guide, so most teams can complete the work during a scheduled maintenance window. The panel stands 75.2 in tall, 11.8 in wide, and 7.7 in deep, and it weighs about 30 lb, making it solid yet manageable for a two-person lift.

Built in a black finish that matches NetShelter racks, the ACCS1003 blends in visually while delivering practical gains in energy efficiency. APC backs the assembly with a two-year limited warranty, giving facilities managers confidence that the component will perform reliably over multiple refresh cycles.
