Vertiv™ VR Rack Accessory | VRA Security Handle | 4-Digit Combination

The Vertiv VR Rack Accessory, VRA Security Handle with a 4-Digit Combination, is a essential upgrade for protecting critical IT assets in modern data centers. Engineered for the Vertiv VR Rack family, this front-mounted security solution combines robust physical protection with flexible access control, making it easier to manage who can open rack doors while maintaining fast entry for authorized technicians. Sturdily built, simple to install, and designed to withstand the rigors of high-traffic data center environments, the VRA7001 helps organizations enforce tighter security without compromising operational efficiency. Whether you’re securing server blades, storage arrays, or network gear, this 4-digit combination handle delivers reliable, scalable protection that aligns with IT security policies and regulatory requirements.

• High-security, resettable 4-digit combination lock: Choose a private four-digit code to restrict front-panel access. The lock is designed to prevent unauthorized entry, enabling you to control who can access the equipment within the rack while providing a straightforward method to rotate codes as personnel changes occur. This also supports secure contractor rotations and on-call maintenance without compromising overall rack security.
• Easy, tool-light installation tailored for Vertiv VR racks: The VRA7001 is designed for quick, reliable mounting on standard 19-inch Vertiv VR racks. With minimized downtime and straightforward steps, technicians can upgrade rack security during regular maintenance windows, reducing disruption to critical workloads while enhancing physical security during off-hours.
• Rugged, data-center-grade construction: Crafted from hardened steel with a durable powder-coated finish, the security handle resists daily wear, impact, and corrosion in demanding data-center environments. The resilient build maintains operability across temperature and humidity swings, ensuring consistent performance in front-of-rack security applications.
• Flexible access control for teams and contractors: The combination-based approach makes it simple to issue temporary access codes to vendors or service teams and then rotate codes when access is no longer needed. This capability supports compliance-driven access governance and reduces the risk of shared or stale credentials in your facility.
• Compact, aesthetically integrated design with reliable operation: The VRA security handle occupies minimal front-mace space while delivering dependable locking performance. Its discreet silhouette complements the Vertiv VR rack’s clean lines, helping preserve airflow and maintain the rack’s visual branding while delivering dependable security for sensitive equipment.

How to Install Vertiv VR Rack Accessory

• Prepare the rack and security kit: Verify you have the VRA7001 kit contents, including mounting screws and the front-mount security handle. Ensure the rack face is clean and free of obstructions to permit proper alignment.
• Power down or isolate the front panel as needed: For safety and to avoid disturbing active equipment, follow your data-center procedures to access the rack front without disrupting inline components. If needed, coordinate with facilities to minimize impact.
• Align the handle with the front panel: Position the VRA7001 so that its mounting points align with the standard 19-inch rack rails on the Vertiv VR rack. Confirm that the latch opening is oriented for easy access from the required side and that the interaction with the door or panel is unobstructed.
• Secure the mounting hardware: Insert and tighten the provided screws or hardware as directed by the installation kit. Use firm but careful torque to avoid over-tightening that could deform rails or affect panel alignment.
• Set and test your 4-digit code: With the latch in the open position, choose a four-digit code you can reliably remember. Close the latch and engage the lock to store the code. Test multiple cycles by locking and unlocking to ensure smooth operation and that the code retains correctly across attempts.
• Verify security and accessibility: After installation, attempt to open the rack with the set code, and then with a non-authorized attempt (simulated) to confirm that unauthorized access is blocked. Document the code and reset procedures as part of your access governance policy.
