Vertiv VR Rack - 48U with Shock Packaging

The Vertiv VR Rack family delivers a premium rack solution designed to meet the stringent demands of modern IT environments. Engineered with best-in-class design and construction, these racks combine robust strength with sophisticated features and accessories that streamline installation, cable management, airflow, and serviceability. The 48U configuration, in particular, is engineered to accommodate a wide range of servers, storage, and networking gear while maintaining a compact footprint and superior accessibility. A key differentiator is the inclusion of shock packaging—protective shipping packaging that minimizes transit damage and ensures equipment arrives ready to install. With eight standard sizes and load ratings tailored to diverse deployments, Vertiv VR Racks offer a compelling value proposition: premium quality, dependable performance, and fast shipment after receipt of order at a price point that remains competitive with other premium racks on the market.

  • Premium 48U standing frame with 19-inch mounting rails: Built from heavy-duty steel and finished with a durable powder coating, the 48U VR Rack delivers a stable, vibration-resistant backbone for your IT hardware. The standard 19" mounting rails are adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of servers, switches, storage enclosures, and blade chassis, helping you maximize rack density while preserving airflow and serviceability.
  • Best-in-class design and construction for reliability: Vertiv’s meticulous engineering delivers rigidity, flat-panel alignment, and excellent tolerances that reduce rack sag and misalignment over time. Reinforced corners, precision-fastened feet or casters, and a modular assembly approach enable both rapid deployment and long-term durability in data centers, telecom rooms, and network closets.
  • Comprehensive features and accessories for easy deployment: The VR Rack includes integral cable management solutions, removable panels, and configurable door options (lockable front and rear doors, with vented or solid variants). Optional accessories such as overhead cable managers, fan kits, power distribution, and cooling additions help tailor the rack to your exact cooling and cabling needs.
  • Shock packaging for safe transit and quick readiness: A purpose-built shock-absorbent packaging system protects equipment from shocks and vibration during shipment, reducing the risk of damage in transit. This preserves the integrity of sensitive hardware and accelerates project timelines by enabling faster, damage-free installations upon arrival.
  • Value-driven choice with fast fulfillment: Vertiv VR Racks are designed to deliver premium performance at a compelling price point, often at or below comparable premium racks. The model line emphasizes quick shipment after receipt of order and reliable delivery windows, helping data centers stay on schedule and within budget without sacrificing build quality.

How to Install Vertiv VR Rack

  • Prepare and inspect the shipment: Upon arrival, inspect the shock packaging and the rack components for any signs of damage. Keep all packaging until you have completed the installation and verified that all parts are present. Verify that the floor space is level and rated to support the assembled rack with loaded equipment.
  • Choose your placement and level the base: Position the rack in the desired location, ensuring adequate clearance for venting, cable access, and future expansion. Use the leveling feet to bring the rack to a perfectly vertical stance, adjusting each foot until the frame sits plumb and steady.
  • Assemble the frame and install rails: If required, assemble the side panels and frame components per the included instructions. Install the adjustable 19-inch mounting rails at the desired depth, ensuring secure attachment and even alignment across the top and bottom rails for rack-mount hardware compatibility.
  • Mount equipment in a bottom-up sequence: Begin mounting heavier equipment toward the bottom of the rack to maintain a stable center of gravity. Attach devices securely to the rails with appropriate screws, trend their depth, and verify clearance for rear cabling and airflow.
  • Route cables and manage airflow: Use the integrated cable management features to route power, data, and peripheral cables cleanly. Separate power and communication cables where possible to minimize interference. Ensure adequate airflow by avoiding cable tangles and providing space around vents and fans.
  • Install doors, panels, and accessories: Attach the front and rear doors, locking mechanisms, and any removable side panels. Add optional accessories such as overhead cable managers, fan kits, PDU strips, and cooling components based on your deployment plan and heat load expectations.
  • Final checks and commissioning: Confirm that all equipment is securely mounted, cables are properly terminated, and doors operate smoothly with the locks engaged. Perform a basic weight distribution check and test accessibility for maintenance tasks. Document the finished configuration for future reference and warranties.
