Vertiv™ VR Rack Accessory | VRA | Colocation | 42U | 800 x 1100 VRA9042

The Vertiv VR Rack Accessory VRA9042 is engineered to transform a single Vertiv VR Rack into a two-tenant colocation solution without sacrificing security, accessibility, or cable organization. Designed to maximize data center floor space, this dual-tenant kit accommodates up to 42U of equipment in a compact 800 x 1100 footprint, delivering independent sections for two tenants while maintaining a shared infrastructure. Whether you’re expanding to support multiple clients or segregating workloads within a single data center, the VRA9042 delivers the scalability, reliability, and streamlined management you need.

• Dual-tenant design to maximize floor space: Convert a standard Vertiv VR Rack into two independent sections, enabling efficient utilization of the available data center footprint and simplifying multi-tenant deployments in colocation or private hosting environments.
• 42U capacity in a compact 800 x 1100 footprint: The VRA9042 provides a full 42U of usable mounting space within a footprint designed for dense rack environments, allowing you to stack more equipment without expanding the rack enclosure footprint.
• Dual front and rear doors for versatile access: Each tenant area can be accessed from both the front and the rear, improving serviceability, reducing downtime, and enabling flexible cable routing for diverse equipment layouts.
• Integrated secure cable management: Built-in cable management routes help keep power, data, and interconnect cables neatly organized, minimize airflow disruption, and simplify routine maintenance and audits.
• Dividing panels for clean separation between tenants: Included dividing panels create distinct, protected spaces within the same rack, supporting clear tenant boundaries and easier maintenance without cross-tenant interference.

How to install Vertiv VR Rack Accessory

• Confirm compatibility with your existing Vertiv VR Rack model and verify that a dual-tenant configuration meets your operational requirements before proceeding with installation.
• Prepare your workspace with appropriate safety measures and gather standard installation tools. Ensure power is isolated to avoid any risk during rack modification.
• With the rack de-energized, plan the tenant boundaries and determine the optimal placement of dividing panels to align with your equipment layout and cooling strategy.
• Install mounting frameworks, brackets, and any required rails per Vertiv guidelines to support both tenant sections. Ensure the mounting hardware is securely fastened and level to maintain equipment stability.
• Attach the dual front and rear doors and install the dividing panels as specified for the VRA9042 configuration. Verify that doors open and close smoothly and that there is unobstructed access to both tenant compartments.
• Route cables through the integrated secure cable management system, segregating power and data to reduce interference. Label cables by tenant and per device for easier maintenance and future migrations.
• Perform a final inspection and power-up test. Confirm that each tenant area is accessible, that cooling paths remain unobstructed, and that all equipment functions properly within its assigned space.
