How to Install Vertiv DCE Rack
- Prepare the installation area: Verify the floor is level and capable of supporting the weight of the empty rack plus equipment. Clear the space around the rack for cable ingress/egress and maintenance access.
- Unpack and inspect: Check all components against the packing list, ensuring the rack, top cover, casters, leveling feet, PDU mounting brackets, and doors are present and undamaged.
- Install mobility components: If you plan to relocate the rack during its lifecycle, attach the casters in the designated positions and install the leveling feet as needed for final leveling after placement.
- Assemble the rack frame: Position the frame in the desired location. Attach front and rear rails as appropriate, ensuring proper alignment for equipment with varied mounting depths. Tighten hardware to secure rigidity.
- Attach cable management and PDU brackets: Mount the two full-height PDU/cable management brackets at the specified locations to support power strips and cable routing. Route essential cables through the brackets to maintain clean airflow paths.
- Install the top cover and door: Place the top cover over the rack, securing it per the manufacturer’s instructions. Attach the perforated locking door to the front, ensuring it opens and closes smoothly while providing access control for restricted equipment.
- Add equipment and organize cabling: Install servers, storage, and networking gear into the rack, then route power and data cables through the management brackets. Use tie-downs or Velcro straps to keep cables tidy and out of airflow channels.
- Verify airflow and access: Confirm that doors, panels, and vents align properly and that airflow is unobstructed. Re-check leveling and stability, then power up the rack for commissioning tests.
