Vertiv VR Rack - 42U Server Rack Enclosure | 800x1200mm | 19-inch Cabinet (VR3350)

The Vertiv VR Rack VR3350 delivers enterprise-grade durability and scalable organization for critical IT infrastructure. Designed to house servers, networking gear, and storage arrays, this 42U server rack enclosure combines a robust steel build with nimble accessibility to support demanding data-center environments, labs, and high-density server rooms. With an 800 x 1200 mm footprint and full compatibility with standard 19-inch equipment, the VR3350 is built to streamline deployment, airflow, and serviceability while maintaining security and growth flexibility.

• Premium capacity and standard compatibility: A 42U enclosure height maximizes space for multi-node servers, switches, storage, and patch panels. The 800x1200 mm footprint ensures a compact footprint that still provides generous rear clearance and front accessibility, making it suitable for data centers with space constraints. It accepts the full range of 19-inch equipment that IT teams rely on, enabling straightforward replacement, expansion, and reconfiguration as workloads evolve.
• Sturdy construction and security: Built from durable steel with a protective powder-coated finish, the VR3350 is designed to withstand the rigors of daily rack use. Lockable front and rear doors, along with secure side panels in some configurations, protect sensitive equipment from tampering while still allowing quick access for authorized technicians. The solid construction helps minimize vibration and provides a stable mounting platform for sensitive components.
• Flexible mounting and cable management: The enclosure supports standard 19-inch mounting rails with adjustable positioning to accommodate different equipment depths and mounting densities. Integrated cable management provisions—including vertical cable channels and accessible cable trays—keep power, data, and accessory lines neatly organized. This reduces cable clutter, improves airflow, and simplifies maintenance or upgrades without disrupting active equipment.
• Optimized cooling and airflow: Perforated front and rear panels promote efficient airflow, helping to maintain equipment within recommended temperature and humidity ranges. The design facilitates hot-aisle/cold-aisle configurations and reduces hotspots in dense rack deployments. Proper ventilation is essential for maximizing performance and extending the life of components, especially in high-throughput environments where cooling loads can fluctuate.
• Ease of installation and future-proofing: The VR3350 is engineered for rapid deployment with tool-less or minimal-tool assembly options, removable side panels for quick access, and modular accessories that adapt to changing IT needs. Whether you are spinning up a new data center or upgrading an existing rack room, this enclosure supports scalable growth, simplifies maintenance windows, and helps keep downtime to a minimum.

How to install Vertiv VR Rack VR3350

• Prepare the workspace by ensuring a clean, level floor and adequate clearance for installation and future maintenance.
• Unpack the VR3350 and inspect all components for signs of shipping damage. Verify that all required mounting rails, hardware, doors, and panels are present according to the package contents list.
• Position the cabinet in the desired location, ensuring access from the front and rear and enough space for cable routing and ventilation.
• Install the base and leveling feet or casters as appropriate for your environment, then secure the enclosure to maintain stability during equipment installation and operation.
• Attach the 19-inch mounting rails to the uprights, ensuring rails are level and aligned. Slide or bolt the rails into position following the recommended rack depth for your equipment, then tighten to prevent movement.
• Mount servers, switches, and storage devices on the rails, balancing weight evenly and using appropriate hardware to ensure secure attachment. Utilize cable management channels to route power and data cables neatly, avoiding obstructed airflow.
• Install front and rear doors, and verify that locking mechanisms operate smoothly. Confirm that removable side panels are correctly seated for optimal protection and access.
• Configuration and testing: power up equipment, confirm connectivity, verify airflow, and ensure that door seals and gaskets are intact to maintain environmental control.
• Plan future expansion: assess current rack density and identify areas where additional devices or vertical cable management accessories could be added without compromising airflow or serviceability.
