Rack Fan Kit???
We have an old Dell Rack(probably made in 1998 or 1999) and am wanting to put a Fan Kit on top. Our Dell Rep sent us the Optional Fan Kit for Dell PE 4210 Rack.
Not sure if this is going to work on this old rack or not. I am stuck in trying to get the roof of the rack off right now. It has 4 BIG screws up there but even with a HUGE screwdriver I wasn't able to get them off.
Anyone have any suggestions or even if I get the roof off the rack is this kit going to work?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Dean Spencer

I examined what I think is the same type of rack you are describing. It's impossible to tell what the 4 large screws that hold the top screw in too. The top of the rack frame prevents accessing the screws from the inside. I don't think a large screw driver is going to budge those, you may have to use an impact driver. If the screws have a nut on the inside then it will make things even more difficult.
There are lots of 3rd party fan trays availabe that will mount in the back of the rack. Are you certain that you are having a cooling issue?
Give me a call if you have any questions.
