How to install Vertiv SmartCabinet ID

• Plan your site with a solid, level floor, adequate clearance for access and service, and proper ambient conditions to support cooling performance and filtration needs.
• Confirm electrical service and grounding requirements, ensuring the available power matches the selected cooling configuration (3.5 kW or 7.0 kW) and that appropriate safety standards are met.
• Unpack and position the SmartCabinet ID on a stable base or in a dedicated enclosure rack, then secure the cabinet according to manufacturer guidelines to prevent movement or vibration.
• Install IT equipment inside the 42U rack, ensuring proper airflow clearance and cable management to maximize cooling efficiency and simplify future maintenance.
• Connect cooling, power distribution, and monitoring interfaces as specified, and configure environmental sensors, alarms, and telemetry to gain real-time visibility into temperatures, humidity, and airflow.
• Power up and run a go/no-go test to verify cooling functionality, ingress protection, and network connectivity; validate that all equipment is operating within specified thermal and electrical ranges.
• Document the installation with asset tags, rack layout diagrams, and service contact details; establish a maintenance schedule for filter changes, inspections, and firmware updates.
