How to install VERTIV Vertical Duct Panel (1 ft x 4 ft)

Before you begin, confirm that you have the correct Vertiv vertical duct components and mounting hardware compatible with your specific rack and cabinet configuration. Power down or isolate the area as required and ensure you follow site safety guidelines during installation.

Step 1: Prepare the installation area — Inspect the vertical duct framework where the panel will be mounted. Clear any obstructions, verify alignment with adjacent panels, and check for clean contact surfaces. Have all mounting hardware (screws, brackets, and gaskets) ready, and confirm that the panel’s orientation matches your airflow design (typically aligned with cold or conditioned air paths).

Step 2: Position the panel — With a helper if needed, align the 12 in x 48 in panel within the vertical duct channel. Ensure the panel sits flush against mounting points and that there is a consistent gap to allow air movement as intended. Avoid bending or forcing the panel into place, which can compromise performance and fit.

Step 3: Secure the panel — Use the appropriate mounting brackets or fasteners specified for your Vertiv duct system. Begin at one end and work methodically toward the opposite side, tightening screws evenly to prevent warping. Do not overtighten, as excessive pressure can damage the panel or surrounding ductwork.

Step 4: Check seal and alignment — After installation, inspect joints and edges for gaps where air could bypass the duct path. If gaskets or sealant are recommended by Vertiv for your setup, apply them to ensure a tight, controlled airflow channel. Recheck alignment to verify that the panel sits evenly and securely within the duct framework.

Step 5: Test airflow and system integration — Restore power to connected systems and monitor airflow through the duct panel. Look for even distribution across the panel and across nearby racks. If your data center employs monitoring sensors, verify that temperature and airflow readings reflect the intended performance. Make minor adjustments if required, then document the configuration for future maintenance.

Step 6: Maintenance and inspection — Establish a routine inspection interval to verify that fasteners remain secure and that no debris has accumulated along the panel’s surface or within the duct path. Clean surfaces as recommended by Vertiv and check for signs of wear that might indicate an upcoming service cycle.

For best results, install the Vertical Duct Panel as part of a comprehensive airflow management strategy. Combine it with properly sealed ducting, blanking panels, and temperature or airflow sensors to achieve optimal cooling efficiency. The 1-pack configuration is ideal for targeted upgrades or phased deployments, enabling you to incrementally enhance cooling performance while maintaining a clean, organized data-center environment.
