How to install Vertiv VR Rack

• Plan the placement: Choose a location with solid flooring capable of supporting the weight of the fully populated enclosure and equipment. Ensure adequate clearance for front and rear access, cabling, and cooling airflow.
• Prepare the floor and leveling: Verify level flooring and position the cabinet. If leveling feet are included, adjust until the cabinet sits plumb and stable to prevent skewed rails and misaligned equipment.
• Unpack and inspect: Remove packaging, verify all components against the hardware list, and inspect doors, panels, and rails for damage. Report any discrepancies to the supplier immediately.
• Install mounting rails: Attach the 19-inch rails according to the equipment’s mounting height and weight distribution. Ensure rails are square and securely fastened to prevent rails from bending or shifting under load.
• Route cabling and power: Plan cable pathways using built-in cable management features. Route power and data cables to avoid heat buildup and interference, leaving slack to accommodate future additions.
• Mount equipment: Install servers, switches, and rack-mounted devices onto the rails. Distribute weight evenly and fasten each unit with appropriate screws or cage nuts as recommended by device manufacturers.
• Configure airflow: Confirm clear air channels and install any available rack-mounted fans, blanking panels, or door configurations designed to optimize cooling and minimize hot spots.
• Close and secure: Reattach doors and side panels as required. Engage locking mechanisms to secure access and protect equipment during operation.
• Test and document: Boot devices, verify connectivity, and perform an initial wiring audit. Document the layout and keep records for future maintenance and audits.
