Eaton Rack Mounting Kit for 19-Inch Racks

The Eaton Rack Mounting Kit is a purpose-built solution designed to securely integrate Eaton equipment into standard 19-inch server racks. Built for durability, versatility, and straightforward installation, this mounting kit helps data centers, IT rooms, and industrial facilities deploy, organize, and protect critical devices with confidence. Whether you’re adding a new unit to an existing cabinet or configuring a full rack lineup, this kit provides a robust mounting foundation that keeps gear aligned, accessible, and ready for service. From quiet operation in office environments to demanding, high-density data centers, the Eaton Rack Mounting Kit is engineered to support reliable performance and efficient troubleshooting across a range of applications.

• Robust steel construction for long-term reliability. The mounting rails, brackets, and hardware are crafted from high-strength steel designed to withstand routine rack movements, vibration, and thermal cycling. A durable finish helps resist corrosion and wear in both controlled data-center environments and more challenging industrial settings, preserving alignment and protecting sensitive components over the life of the installation.
• Universal 19-inch rack compatibility with adjustable rails. This kit adheres to the industry-standard 19-inch mounting width, enabling seamless integration with Eaton devices and most third-party equipment. Rails are adjustable to accommodate a range of equipment depths, providing flexibility to fit shallow to deep chassis without extra adapters. The result is a clean, secure fit that optimizes rack density while preserving sufficient space for cabling and cooling airflow.
• Effortless installation with included hardware and guides. Designed to streamline deployment, the kit ships with the essential mounting rails, brackets, screws, and cage nuts, along with straightforward assembly instructions. The combination of pre-drilled mounting holes and clear guidance means technicians can complete a secure installation quickly, reducing downtime and enabling faster site readiness. The modular design also supports future upgrades or reconfigurations without replacing the entire mounting system.
• Enhanced cable management and airflow compatibility. Thoughtful design features help you organize cables behind rails and along the cabinet, reducing clutter and minimizing obstruction to airflow. The kit’s layout supports clean routing for power and data cables, helping to maintain cool, efficient operation and simplifying service access when equipment needs upgrades or maintenance tasks.
• Cost-effective, reliable support from Eaton. As part of the Eaton ecosystem, the Rack Mounting Kit integrates smoothly with Eaton power distribution, protection, and management solutions. The robust hardware, warranty coverage, and access to Eaton’s support resources simplify ongoing maintenance and ensure compatibility across the broader Eaton portfolio.

How to install Eaton Rack Mounting Kit

• Step 1 — Verify compatibility: Before starting, confirm that your rack is a standard 19-inch enclosure and that the Eaton device(s) you plan to mount align with the kit’s mounting pattern and depth range. Inspect existing rails and posts for any obstructing hardware or damage that could affect installation.
• Step 2 — Prepare the cabinet: Clear the rack area and determine the ideal height for the equipment. If you’re stacking multiple devices, plan the vertical arrangement to balance weight distribution and maintain accessible service clearances. Ensure you have the included mounting hardware ready and within reach.
• Step 3 — Install the mounting rails: Attach the rails to the rack posts at the chosen height using the provided screws and cage nuts. Align the rails so they sit squarely and parallel to the cabinet face. Tighten hardware securely, checking for any wobble. If adjustable rails are used, set them to the appropriate depth and re-check alignment.
• Step 4 — Prepare the equipment and brackets: If your Eaton device requires side brackets or front/rear mounting points, attach these components to the chassis according to the included guidance. Ensure all fasteners are snug but not overtightened to avoid damaging threads or mounting holes.
• Step 5 — Mount the equipment: With assistance if needed, slide the device onto the mounted rails, aligning the front face with the rack opening. Secure the device to the rails using the supplied screws or brackets, ensuring even contact and proper seating. Double-check that the device is level and firmly fastened.
• Step 6 — Connect cables and perform a fit check: Route power and data cables cleanly behind the rails, avoiding sharp bends or tension. Label cables for future maintenance and verify that there is adequate clearance for airflow and rear cable management. Power the unit to confirm basic operation and observe for any mounting-related noises or vibrations.
• Step 7 — Finalize and document: Reinspect all fasteners for tightness after initial operation, record the rack position of the mounted equipment, and update any asset management records. If multiple devices are installed, repeat the process in a symmetrical pattern to maintain balance and ease of access during maintenance.
