How to install VERTIV Rack Accessory

• 1. Verify compatibility: Confirm that your rack width is 800 mm and that the installation is intended for EIA mounting, with a 42U height and 23" depth footprint. Gather the included hardware and tools recommended by Vertiv for a secure setup.
• 2. Prepare the rack: Clear the cabinet interior, remove any obstructing panels or existing rails if required, and ensure the rack is stable and properly anchored to the floor or wall as per data center procedures.
• 3. Attach mounting rails: Align the VRA6 rails with the rack posts, insert the mounting hardware, and snug the rails to the frame. Make sure rails are level and parallel to each other to prevent equipment binding.
• 4. Align equipment and extend rails: Slide equipment into position, align with the rail pairs, and extend/lock rails to accommodate the depth of your devices. Confirm smooth sliding motion and full engagement of all mounting points.
• 5. Route cabling and test: Organize power and data cables along the rails using built-in access paths, then power on equipment to verify stability, airflow, and proper clearance around vents and fans.
