How to install Vertiv VR Rack - 48U TAA Compliant

Installing the Vertiv VR Rack is a straightforward process that emphasizes proper space planning, airflow optimization, and safe handling of heavy equipment. Follow these guidelines to ensure a solid, serviceable installation that performs reliably over time.

• Plan the space: Verify the installation area is level, well-ventilated, and sized to accommodate the chosen VR Rack plus clearance for service access and cable management. Consider heat dissipation, cable routes, and door swing when selecting the rack location.
• Unpack and inspect components: Carefully remove the rack from packaging and inspect for any shipping damage. Confirm that all mounting rails, doors, panels, and accessories are present according to the hardware list that accompanies the rack.
• Prepare the base and leveling: If the rack uses leveling feet, install and adjust them to ensure the enclosure sits squarely and remains plumb. For casters, attach them securely and verify stability before proceeding with equipment installation.
• Install rails and mounting hardware: Attach adjustable rails to the interior sides of the rack, aligning with the intended equipment depth and unit spacing. Use the manufacturer-recommended hardware to secure rails and prevent movement when devices are installed or operated.
• Mount IT equipment: Begin with heavier devices at the bottom to maintain a low center of gravity. Secure servers, storage, and network gear to the rails using the appropriate screws and spacers, following the equipment manufacturer’s mounting guidelines and ensuring proper weight distribution.
• Route power and data cabling: Utilize built-in cable management features to organize power, data, and interconnect cables. Group cables by function, separate high-current lines from data cables, and leave ample slack for future upgrades or maintenance.
• Configure doors, panels, and airflow accessories: Attach front and rear doors as required, and install any louvers, perforated panels, or airflow management accessories to optimize cooling efficiency while preserving service access.
• Verify safety and operation: Check for secure fasteners, confirm that all devices power on, and verify connectivity. Document the rack layout, labeling, and cable paths for future maintenance and audits.
• Finalize and test:perform a full-load test if feasible, monitor for temperature stability, and confirm that cooling airflow meets the equipment requirements. Conduct a post-installation walkthrough to ensure accessibility and compliance with safety standards.
