How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series SmartRack Colocation Kit for 45U Deep Rack Enclosures
- Review compatibility: Confirm your enclosure is a standard‑depth 45U SmartRack cabinet and that space is available for two separate compartments without impeding doors, doors clearance, or venting.
- Unpack and inventory: Lay out all components from the SRCOLOKIT45UDP kit. Verify the presence of partitions, rails, mounting hardware, and any installation guides provided by the manufacturer.
- Plan the partition layout: Determine the exact separation line within the 45U space to designate left and right (or front and rear) compartments. Aligning this plan with cabling routes helps maintain orderly builds.
- Install the partitions: Attach the dual compartments’ vertical or horizontal dividers according to the included hardware and guidelines. Ensure partitions are plumb, secure, and compatible with existing rails and mounting locations.
- Mount equipment and route cables: Install components into each compartment, keeping power, data, and cooling paths distinct. Use the kit’s cable management channels to organize cables, label per compartment, and maintain proper airflow.
- Verify operation and accessibility: Check that doors can open and close without interference, verify that each compartment has adequate clearance for maintenance, and confirm that cooling airflow remains unobstructed in both spaces.
- Finalize labeling and documentation: Document the tenancy or workload assignments for each compartment, and ensure that service personnel can quickly identify the two separate environments within the same cabinet.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What is the primary purpose of the SRCOLOKIT45UDP? A: It converts a single 45U deep SmartRack enclosure into a dual‑compartment colocation rack, enabling two tenants or workloads to share one cabinet with clear separation and organized cabling.
- Q: Is this kit compatible with all 45U SmartRack enclosures? A: It is designed to work with standard‑depth 45U SmartRack cabinets and should integrate with compatible mounting rails and frames in that family. Always verify mounting points and clearance with your specific model.
- Q: Do I need special tools to install the kit? A: Basic hand tools are typically sufficient, and the kit includes the necessary mounting hardware. Always follow the provided installation guidelines for proper torque and alignment.
- Q: Will the dual compartments affect airflow or cooling? A: The design preserves airflow by providing dedicated pathways and partitions that minimize cross‑over of hot air between compartments. Proper cable management further supports consistent cooling.
