Vertiv VRA3004 1U Depth Adjustable Equipment Support Rails

Overview

The Vertiv VRA3004 provides 1U depth-adjustable equipment support rails designed for securely mounting heavier rack-mount equipment within standard 19-inch server or network racks. This accessory is crucial for ensuring stability and proper weight distribution for components that do not have their own integrated rack ears or require additional support. The VRA3004 is specifically engineered for scenarios where you need to install equipment that exceeds the weight capacity of standard fixed shelves or requires a more robust mounting solution. Its adjustable depth feature allows for installation in racks with varying cabinet depths, accommodating a wide range of server and network hardware. The rails are rated to support up to 100 lbs, making them suitable for many types of network switches, patch panels, or specialized IT equipment.

Compatibility

These support rails are designed for use with standard 19-inch rack systems. The adjustable depth mechanism allows them to be fitted into racks with different cabinet depths, providing flexibility for various deployment environments. They are part of the Vertiv VRA accessory line, intended to complement their range of rack and cabinet solutions.

Installation Notes

Installation requires mounting the rails to the front and rear rack uprights using appropriate cage nuts and screws (not included). The depth adjustment allows the rails to be positioned to match the specific depth of the equipment being installed, ensuring a secure fit. Ensure the rack is properly grounded before installation. The 100 lb weight capacity must not be exceeded to maintain structural integrity and prevent equipment damage.
