How to install Vertiv VR Rack 45U 4 Post Rack

• Plan your installation by mapping the location, ensuring adequate floor space, clearance for front and rear access, and proper cooling airflow. Verify floor load capacity to support the combined weight of the rack and installed equipment.
• Unpack and inspect the rack components for completeness and any shipping damage. If rails or accessories are included, verify compatibility with your equipment models and ensure mounting hardware is available.
• Assemble the rack frame if required, or place the open rack on a clean, level surface. Attach front and rear mounting rails according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, ensuring rails are aligned and square for proper equipment fit.
• Begin with bottom-up equipment installation. Secure heavy devices first to lower the center of gravity, then add mid-range and lighter items. Use cage nuts and screws compatible with 19-inch rails, and tighten securely to prevent movement during operation.
• Route cables through built-in management channels and plan for both airflow and serviceability. Use appropriate cable managers, ties, and organizers to keep cables tidy and prevent obstruction to ventilation paths.
