The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 25U SmartRack shallow-depth half-height rack enclosure is designed for compact environments where secure, organized, and accessible AV and IT equipment is essential. This rugged enclosure combines intelligent design with durable materials to maximize space efficiency without compromising on protection or airflow. Whether you’re mounting servers, AV gear, or network switches in a small equipment room, closet, or studio, this SmartRack delivers the versatility you need with the reliability you expect from Eaton and Tripp Lite.

  • Compact, space-saving design with 25U capacity: The shallow-depth, half-height footprint is purpose-built for tight installations. Despite its smaller size, it provides broad mounting flexibility for a wide range of equipment, enabling you to consolidate gear into a single, secure enclosure. This makes it ideal for edge deployments, small data closets, and broadcast setups where floor space is at a premium while still accommodating full-size rack mountable devices.
  • Secure, accessible enclosure with locking doors and side panels: The enclosure ships with lockable doors and side panels that protect valuable equipment from tampering and dust. The design facilitates quick, tool-free access for maintenance while preserving a clean, professional appearance. A secure enclosure helps safeguard critical components and reduces the risk of accidental disconnections or theft in shared workspaces.
  • Durable construction for long-term reliability: Built from sturdy steel with a robust powder-coated finish, this SmartRack enclosure withstands demanding environments and heavy daily use. The rugged construction supports minor bumps and continual handling during installation and servicing, ensuring your equipment remains protected and properly organized over time.
  • Easy mobility with heavy-duty casters and configurable mounting options: The included heavy-duty casters enable effortless relocation within the workspace, while the rack’s versatile mounting rails support a variety of configurations. This flexibility is especially valuable for multi-room setups, temporary showrooms, or pop-up installations where equipment may need to be moved frequently without disassembly.
  • Designed for efficient cooling and cable management: Thoughtful ventilation and cable management provisions promote airflow around housed devices, helping maintain optimal operating temperatures. The enclosure supports clean cable routing and organization, reducing clutter while improving accessibility for service and upgrades. This is essential for maintaining performance and extending the life of sensitive components.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 25U SmartRack Shallow-Depth Half-Height Rack Enclosure

Preparing your workspace and equipment for installation ensures a smooth setup and long-term reliability. Start by choosing a level, sturdy surface with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup. Confirm that the available space can accommodate the shallow-depth enclosure and still allow for cable routing, airflow, and access to doors and panels. Unpack the enclosure and inspect for any shipping damage before beginning assembly. If you are mounting the rack on wheels, verify that the casters are firmly attached and that the swivel mechanism operates smoothly for easy maneuverability.

1) Position the enclosure in the desired location. Align it with nearby racks, furniture, or walls and ensure there is enough clearance for front and rear access. If you plan to bolt the enclosure to the floor or to adjacent racks, follow local safety guidelines and use the appropriate hardware.2) Install the mounting rails. Attach the front and rear rails to the uprights according to the included instructions. Ensure rails are level and properly spaced to accommodate the depth of the equipment you intend to install.3) Mount your equipment. With rails installed, slide in servers, switches, AV gear, or other 19-inch rack-mountable devices. Use appropriate screws and spacers to secure equipment, ensuring no over-tightening that could warp panels or strain rails.4) Route cables and manage airflow. Use cable management accessories to route power and data lines cleanly, keeping cables away from vents and fans. Maintain clear airflow paths and leave space for cooling air to circulate behind equipment.5) Install doors and side panels. Attach the locking doors and side panels to enclose the rack and protect gear from dust, moisture, and tampering. Confirm that doors latch securely and that the enclosure remains stable when opened and closed.6) Check power and cooling. Connect power distribution and verify that cooling equipment (fans or HVAC) is providing adequate airflow. Ensure the setup adheres to your facility’s electrical safety standards and does not overload circuits.7) Final inspection and maintenance planning. Confirm that all devices are securely fastened, cables are neatly organized, and that reachable service points allow for maintenance without moving the entire enclosure. Document the configuration for future upgrades and routine checks.

For best results, consult the installation manual supplied with your specific model for any model-specific steps, hardware variations, or warranty considerations. The shallow-depth design of this SmartRack is optimized for quick deployment in confined spaces, making it a preferred choice for studios, classrooms, broadcast suites, small data closets, and edge deployments where reliability and organization matter most.
