Vertiv VR Rack Accessory VRA6036: Networking Roof Panel 800 x 1200

The Networking Roof Panel for Vertiv VR racks, model VRA6036, is a purpose-built upgrade that transforms top-of-rack organization and cooling efficiency. Replacing the standard roof, this panel enables edge-to-edge cable management and a cleaner, more reliable airflow path across the entire rack. With dimensions of 800 mm by 1200 mm, it fits snugly into Vertiv VR rack housings and supports simplified maintenance, reduced cable clutter, and improved thermal performance in demanding data-center and edge environments. Built with practical features such as brush strips to minimize dust intrusion and gaps, the VRA6036 is designed to work seamlessly with additional cooling accessories, including a fan kit and exhaust duct, for flexible airflow control. Whether you’re deploying dense server blades, storage, or networking gear, this roof panel helps you maximize rack density while keeping cables tidy and airflow unimpeded.

• Edge-to-edge cable management with brush strips: The Networking Roof Panel replaces the existing roof to deliver uninterrupted cable routing across the entire rack top. Brush strips seal gaps at the panel edges to reduce dust ingress and prevent cables from snagging, enabling cleaner installations and easier maintenance. This feature improves organizational efficiency and supports consistent cable length management, which translates to lower installation time and fewer routing errors.
• Airflow-focused design and cooling compatibility: By opening up the top of the rack and providing a flat, continuous surface, the VRA6036 facilitates more predictable airflow paths. It is designed to work in tandem with Vertiv cooling accessories, including a fan kit and exhaust duct, to tailor exhaust and intake flows. This compatibility helps maintain targeted temperatures for critical equipment and supports higher rack densities without sacrificing reliability.
• Durable, modular construction for Vertiv VR racks: The VRA6036 is engineered to integrate precisely with Vertiv VR rack systems, ensuring a secure fit and straightforward replacement of the existing roof. Its modular nature simplifies future upgrades or service, allowing IT teams to refresh roof components without major downtime. The robust build supports long-term use in fluctuating rack loads and variable hot-spots common in modern data environments.
• Simple installation and minimal downtime: Replacing the roof with the Networking Roof Panel is designed to be a straightforward process that minimizes rack downtime. Once the old roof is removed, the VRA6036 aligns with standard Vertiv mounting points and establishes quick attachment points for seamless integration. The included features, such as brush strips, reduce post-install dusting and cleaning, helping you maintain a clean, compliant rack environment with less effort.
• Space efficiency and organized top-of-rack layout: The 800 x 1200 mm top panel provides ample room for edge-to-edge cable management while supporting clean separation between power and data cables. Its flat surface and edge-to-edge coverage promote better cable management discipline, reduce bend radii, and help you preserve valuable front-to-back spacing. This leads to improved cable routing, easier future changes, and more predictable airflow across the entire rack footprint.

How to install Vertiv VR Rack Accessory

To install the Networking Roof Panel VRA6036, begin by powering down affected equipment and ensuring you have a safe, stable workspace. Remove the existing roof panel from the Vertiv VR rack and inventory the mounting hardware to confirm you have the necessary fasteners. Align the VRA6036 with the rack’s top frame, making sure the edges and mounting holes line up with the authorized points. Secure the roof panel using the standard rack hardware provided by Vertiv or as specified in your rack maintenance guide. Once the panel is fixed in place, position the brush strips along the panel edges to create a tight seal that minimizes dust intrusion and supports clean cable runs. If you plan to optimize cooling further, install a compatible Vertiv fan kit and exhaust duct according to the accessory instructions, ensuring airflow paths remain clear and unobstructed. Finally, route cables across the new roof panel with attention to bend radii and separation between power and data lines, re-energize the rack, and verify that all cables and airflow components operate without interference. Routine checks after installation will help sustain the benefits of edge-to-edge cable management and enhanced thermal performance over time.
