Vertiv™ VR Rack Accessory | VRA | Colocation | 48U | 600 x 1200 VRA9045

Upgrade your Vertiv VR Rack with the VRA9045, a purpose-built colocation kit that transforms a single-tenant rack into a flexible dual-tenant solution. Designed to optimize data center floor space, this accessory enables efficient space utilization without compromising security, cooling, or cable management. The VRA9045 supports a 600 x 1200 mm footprint and 48U of rack height, delivering scalable capacity for growing workloads while maintaining clean cabling and streamlined service access. With dual front and rear doors, secure cable management, and dividing panels, this kit helps data centers maximize density, improve airflow, and simplify maintenance across multi-tenant deployments.

• Maximize data center floor space with a dual-tenant design that enables two separate workloads to coexist in a single Vertiv VR Rack. This setup reduces the physical footprint required for growth, lowers overall CAPEX, and simplifies facility management without sacrificing security or serviceability.
• Designed for a 600 x 1200 mm footprint and 48U height, the VRA9045 optimizes rack utilization for environments that demand high density. Its precise dimensions align with standard data center practices, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure rail kits and mounting hardware while supporting scalable, modular deployments.
• Includes dual front and rear doors for convenient access from either side of the rack. This feature enhances service efficiency, supports security requirements by restricting access, and facilitates quick maintenance or swaps for each tenant without disrupting operations in the other compartment.
• Secure cable management and dividing panels keep cabling organized, separated, and protected. Integrated channels and paneling minimize cable clutter, promote proper airflow, and simplify future changes, ensuring reliable cooling and easier fault isolation for both tenants.
• Effortless upgrade path for existing Vertiv VR Rack installations. The VRA9045 is engineered for straightforward installation with minimal downtime, enabling data centers to transition to dual tenancy while preserving existing power and cooling configurations and reducing overall disruption to services.

How to install Vertiv VR Rack Accessory VRA9045

• Assess and confirm compatibility with your existing Vertiv VR Rack model and the desired dual-tenant configuration. Ensure you have the appropriate mounting rails and hardware for your installation scenario.
• Prepare the installation site by powering down equipment as required and verifying that the rack mounting space meets clearance, ventilation, and safety guidelines for dual-tenant operation.
• Remove or relocate any existing front or rear doors as needed according to your upgrade plan. This ensures a clean install for the dual front and rear door configuration included with the VRA9045.
• Install the dual front and rear doors, ensuring secure alignment with the rack frame and proper latch operation. Verify door seals and uninterrupted access from both sides for maintenance and tenant access.
• Attach the dividing panels and secure the integrated cable management system. Route cables for each tenant separately, using the designated channels to minimize cross-cable interference and optimize airflow around the equipment.
• Consolidate power, data, and network cabling within the secure management paths, re-seat any equipment as needed, and perform a functional check to confirm that each tenant area remains isolated and accessible for service while maintaining proper cooling airflow.
• Close all doors, re-verify alignment, and power up equipment. Monitor temperatures and airflow to ensure the dual-tenant configuration delivers balanced cooling and reliable performance across the rack footprint.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the Vertiv VR Rack Accessory VRA9045 designed for? A: The VRA9045 is a colocation kit that converts a single Vertiv VR Rack into a dual-tenant configuration, maximizing data center floor space while preserving security, cable management, and access control for two separate workloads.
• Q: What are the key dimensions and capacity? A: The accessory supports a 600 x 1200 mm footprint with a 48U rack height, allowing two tenants to share a robust, standardized rack footprint without compromising density or serviceability.
• Q: Does the kit include doors? A: Yes. All colocation kits in this line include dual front and rear doors to facilitate tenant access, security, and flexible maintenance workflows from either side of the rack.
