Vertiv GL48UEX-60140B-MS-SC Rack Enclosure

Overview

The Vertiv EX 48U 600 1400 Black Shock Crate, model GL48UEX-60140B-MS-SC, is a seismic-rated enclosure designed to protect sensitive IT and networking equipment in environments subject to vibration and shock, such as earthquake-prone regions or industrial facilities. Its robust construction ensures equipment stability and security, preventing damage from physical disturbances. This 48U rack provides substantial space for servers, network switches, and other rack-mount hardware, meeting the demands of data centers and enterprise IT rooms.

Compatibility

This 48U rack enclosure is designed to house standard 19-inch rack-mountable equipment. It is compatible with a wide range of servers, network switches, UPS systems, and other IT infrastructure components that adhere to EIA-310 standards. Specific compatibility extends to Vertiv's own rack-based power and cooling solutions, as well as third-party equipment commonly found in enterprise data centers and network closets.

Installation Notes

Installation requires careful attention to the seismic rating requirements. The enclosure must be securely anchored to the building's structure using appropriate mounting hardware (not included) as specified by local building codes and seismic zone standards. Ensure adequate clearance for airflow and access to equipment doors. The shock-crate design implies specific load-bearing capabilities and requires installation on a level, stable floor.
