Does the PAN-AIRDUCT kit increase the rack unit (RU) size from 9U to 14U?

The assertion that the PAN-AIRDUCT kit increases the rack unit (RU) size from 9U to 14U is accurate. This kit is specifically designed to enhance the airflow management in data centers by effectively directing cold air to the front of the equipment while expelling hot air from the rear.

When integrated into a server rack, the PAN-AIRDUCT can create a more efficient cooling environment, which in turn can lead to the utilization of additional rack space. This specific increase in RU size results from the structural modifications and the additional components that the PAN-AIRDUCT adds to the existing rack installation. Therefore, when considering the benefits and additional infrastructure that the kit provides, it effectively changes the overall dimensions and functionality of the rack, leading to the conclusion that it can indeed transition the rack from a 9U capacity to 14U.
