Vertiv VR Rack Accessory VRA6035 Roof Panel – Optimized Airflow and Edge-to-Edge Cable Management for Data Centers

The Vertiv™ VR Rack Accessory (VRA6035) is more than just a roof panel; it’s a strategic upgrade for modern data centers seeking to maximize cooling efficiency, airflow management, and organized cabling within VR Rack deployments. Engineered to replace your existing roof while delivering edge-to-edge cable pathways, this roof panel is designed to reduce turbulence, streamline maintenance, and support scalable growth in busy data center environments. With its robust construction and precision-fit geometry, the VRA6035 helps you unlock better thermal performance, lower energy costs, and a cleaner, more reliable infrastructure that makes future upgrades faster and simpler.

• Optimized airflow for superior cooling: The VRA6035 is engineered to optimize airflow paths across the top of the VR Rack, guiding supply air where it’s needed most and reducing backpressure. By minimizing turbulence and promoting consistent cold-aisle delivery, this roof panel raises cooling efficiency and can contribute to lower overall data center energy consumption, especially in dense rack configurations.
• Edge-to-edge cable management: Designed to support seamless cable routing from edge to edge, the VRA6035 helps organize power and data cabling while preserving easy access for maintenance. This integrated approach minimizes cable clutter, reduces bend radii, and simplifies future expansions or changes without compromising airflow.
• Durable, rack-ready construction: Built for the demanding conditions of data centers, the roof panel uses high-strength steel with a resilient powder-coated finish. It resists corrosion, maintains rigidity under rack load, and provides long-lasting service life even in high-heat environments, ensuring dependable performance across many rack cycles.
• Compatibility and seamless integration: Specifically designed for the Vertiv VR Rack family, the VRA6035 integrates with existing mounting standards and hardware. Its precise fit preserves the sleek, uniform appearance of your rack system while preserving the integrity of the airflow management strategy you’ve implemented across your data center.
• Fast installation and minimal downtime: The roof panel is engineered for straightforward installation, enabling a quick replacement of an existing roof with minimal disruption to critical operations. This makes it a practical upgrade path for growing workloads, ensuring you can realize the benefits of improved airflow and cable management without extended maintenance windows.

how to install [product]

• Prepare the workspace: Power down affected equipment and ensure the rack area is free from obstruction. Verify that you have the correct Vertiv VR Rack model and the VRA6035 roof panel compatible with your system.
• Depower and remove the existing roof: Follow your data center’s standard procedure for safely releasing and removing the current roof panel. Keep mounting hardware organized for reuse if applicable.
• Align with mounting points: Position the VRA6035 so that it aligns precisely with the rack’s mounting rails and ceiling interface. Confirm that edge-to-edge cable pathways will mirror your planned cable routes and that no cables will be pinched or distorted.
• Secure the roof panel: Use the standard mounting hardware provided or approved by Vertiv. Tighten fasteners evenly to ensure a uniform seal that supports optimal airflow and prevents air leaks at joints.
• Route cables and verify airflow: Re-route cables along the edge-to-edge channels. Validate that airflow is unobstructed, then power on equipment and perform a basic functional check to confirm that the cooling and cabling are operating as intended.
