PRODUCT
3.1	MODULAR SOLID ROOF PANELS
The Modular Solid Roof Panels shall be designed to work with clustered DCM and DCF racks. The frame of the roof panel shall be constructed from a 1" x 1" (25.4 x 25.4mm) T-slot aluminum extrusion and 0.236" (6mm) thick clear polycarbonate. The roof panels are offered in 4 ft. (1.2m) and 6 ft. (1.8m) lengths and widths of 300mm, 600mm, 700mm, 800mm and 1000mm to match the DCM/DCF racks, the Liebert XDH, the Liebert CRV and the Liebert APM.
The modular roof panels are transparent polycarbonate panels, allowing the room lighting to be used. Since the modular roof system attaches to the cabinets, the two rows of equipment must have a uniform height along the total length of the aisle.
