1. A system for cooling rack mounted equipment, the system comprising:
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 pipe separable from and attached to the rack about the top and two sides, the cold-air pipe being configured to be in fluid communication with a region adjacent to the cold-air pipe to receive air from the region, the cold-air pipe comprising:
a front member;a plurality of side members coupled to the front member;an end member coupled to the plurality of side members and the front member and disposed entirely within the cold-air pipe and at a lowest position of the cold-air pipe, wherein the end member includes louvers and is configured to selectively allow the passage of air through the end member from the region into the cold-air pipe; anda connector configured to couple the plurality of side members to the rack;wherein the cold-air pipe is attached to the rack to form a substantially airtight seal between the rack and the cold-air pipe.
