The Vertiv server rack is a 19-inch server and network rack, designed for use in IT infrastructures and data processing environments. It has a height of 18 U and is designed for installations according to the IEC 297-3 standard, enabling standardized mounting of IT and network equipment. The rack is delivered in an assembled state and offers flexible mounting options for devices via T-slot, with a perforated panel also available as an alternative. The side panels and rear panel are removable, facilitating maintenance and installation of components. Cable entry is via the rear panel, ensuring organized cabling and clean cable management.
Applications
This rack is suitable for use in data centers, server rooms, IT infrastructures, and other environments where structured and secure housing of network and server equipment is required. The construction with an aluminium die-cast frame and aluminium extruded profiles ensures high stability and load capacity. The front door is made of single-pane safety glass, providing clear visibility of installed devices without compromising safety. The side panel finish in RAL 7035 light grey and the frame in RAL 5008 grey-blue create a professional appearance that blends harmoniously in technical rooms.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The rack features a cable routing space of 125 mm at the front, providing sufficient room for cables and wiring. The static load capacity is 1500 N, enabling secure mounting of heavy equipment. The rear panel is 3-piece and includes cable entry, ensuring organized and structured cabling. Heat dissipation occurs via natural convection at the rear panel, with an optional fan unit available to enhance cooling performance. The top and bottom panels are equipped with ventilation slots to ensure adequate air circulation.
Technology Explained Simply
The rack consists of an aluminium die-cast frame, ensuring high mechanical stability, and aluminium extruded profiles, enabling precise and robust construction. The enclosure parts are made of sheet steel and powder-coated, providing high corrosion resistance and long service life. The front door made of single-pane safety glass offers clear visibility of installed devices without compromising safety. The protection rating IP 20 protects against solid foreign objects with a diameter of at least 12.5 mm and does not provide protection against water, meaning the rack is intended for indoor use only.
Compatibility and Accessories
The rack is compatible with accessories from Knürr, including double castor sets in various heights (63 mm and 95 mm, M8 thread), a fan rear panel (B554, light grey), and a mounting set T-slot M5 (small). These accessories can be added to extend functionality, such as for mobile use or improved cooling. Installation of components is carried out using a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) mounting kit consisting of four vertical profiles with T-slot, enabling flexible and standardized mounting.
Mounting and Installation
The rack is delivered in an assembled state, significantly simplifying installation at the site of use. The removable side panels and rear panel facilitate device installation and maintenance. Cable entry via the rear panel enables clean and structured cabling. The earthing kit with earthing bolt M8 is included in the delivery and ensures safe electrical earthing of the rack.
Operational Advantages
The rack offers high mechanical stability, flexible mounting options, and secure earthing. The integrated cable entry and ventilation slots on the enclosure panels ensure efficient cabling and cooling. The front door made of single-pane safety glass allows clear visibility of installed devices without compromising safety. The use of aluminium die-cast frames and extruded profiles ensures long service life and high load capacity. The IP 20 protection rating is suitable for indoor use and protects against larger foreign objects.
