Designed to meet the rising demand for rapid, reliable, and cost-efficient edge computing and distributed AI deployments, the Eaton SmartRack Modular Data Center delivers a complete, turnkey solution in a compact 44U enclosure. This pre-configured system combines a robust IT rack with a self-contained cooling module and a powerful 25 kW AC unit, enabling fast site readiness, predictable performance, and optimized capacity. Whether you’re expanding a regional edge, standing up micro data centers, or consolidating remote IT, this modular data center accelerates deployment while reducing total cost of ownership and operational complexity.
- Fast, pre-configured deployment: The SmartRack is designed for rapid installation and commissioning. By delivering a turnkey modular data center with critical components already configured, you minimize on-site setup time, reduce field engineering risk, and shorten your path from rack to workload. Expect predictable timelines, simplified procurement, and a consistent build standard across sites.
- Self-contained cooling for efficient operation: Integrated cooling and intelligent air management work in concert with the IT rack to maintain optimal temperatures for dense workloads. The self-contained cooling module reduces hot spots, improves energy efficiency, and helps protect equipment longevity, enabling higher performance per rack while lowering energy waste and operational heat loads.
- 44U rack capacity with streamlined cable management: The 44U enclosure provides ample space for servers, storage, and networking gear while keeping cable routing tidy and accessible. Thoughtful cable management features and modular separation of power and data pathways help simplify maintenance, upgrades, and diagnostics without sacrificing airflow or accessibility.
- High-density power with room to grow: A 25 kW AC unit delivers robust, scalable power to support demanding workloads, GPU accelerators, and future expansion. With headroom for growth, you can add IT gear as demand evolves without rearchitecting your data center footprint, helping you protect existing investments.
- Secure, scalable, and easy to manage: The modular design supports incremental expansion and comes with integrated monitoring and management capabilities. Centralized visibility into power, cooling, temperature, humidity, and device health enables proactive maintenance, faster issue resolution, and streamlined asset management across multiple sites.

How to install Eaton SmartRack
- Prepare the installation site by verifying floor loading, adjacent electrical and network infrastructure, and sufficient space for access and maintenance around the 44U rack and cooling module.
- Unbox and inventory all components, checking for shipping integrity and compatibility with your IT hardware. Ensure that the pre-configured modules are present and undamaged before proceeding.
- Position and secure the rack to the raised floor or concrete surface per local codes and manufacturer guidelines, ensuring level placement and adequate clearance for airflow and service access.
- Connect the 25 kW AC power unit to the building electrical system, following appropriate electrical standards and safety practices. Validate power redundancy requirements and wiring correctness before energizing the system.
- Install IT equipment (servers, storage, and networking gear) into the 44U enclosure, organize cabling using integrated management features, and connect devices to power and network resources as required.
- Power up the system and initialize the integrated management tools. Configure temperature and humidity thresholds, cooling setpoints, and alerting policies. Run the self-test routines to verify cooling performance, electrical redundancy, and sensor functionality.
- Enable remote monitoring and integrate with your DCIM or IT service platforms to ensure ongoing visibility into performance metrics, capacity planning, and proactive maintenance scheduling.
