NOTE: EMEA version: all parts are factory installed.
Assemble the Vertiv™ VRC-S as detailed in documentation for the Vertiv™ VR solution and Vertiv™ VRC. This
documentation shipped inside the rack. However, assembly will be eased by performing these steps before sliding the
cooling unit into the rack:
• Attach the condensate pump and the transition piece to the Vertiv VRC (perform Section 4.3 in the Vertiv VRC
manual before Section 4.1). The pump installation includes attaching the 25-foot (7.5 m) drain tubing if the
shorter, factory-attached piece is not adequate. The drain tube used should be checked for kinks before
attachment. After attaching the tubing, push about half an inch through the outlet hole in the pump shroud.
IMPORTANT! When installing the brass condensate fitting, do not use a wrench. Using a wrench may
cause overtightening and damage internal components. Hand-tighten the fitting only. The tube is a
gravity drain only and is not pressurized.
• For Vertiv VRC Self-Containted, attach the transition piece to the cooling unit (perform Section 4.2 in the Vertiv
VRC manual before Section 4.1). The transition piece is attached to the rear of the cooling unit with six screws.
The lower screws will be easier to manipulate before the cooling unit is inside the rack.
• Attach the condensate pump and bracket (perform Section 4.3 in the Vertiv VRC manual before Section 4.1).
• Install the filter in the Vertiv VRC. The cooling unit has a filter on the top rear that collects particulates from the
return air going back into the Vertiv VRC. The brackets holding the filter in place may need to be loosened
before the filter can be inserted. This is done more easily before the Vertiv VRC is inserted into the cabinet.
Note that the filter has an arrow to indicate the airflow direction.
NOTE: Do not discard the handles removed from the Vertiv VRC cooling unit after sliding it into the
Vertiv VR. Retain the handles and the bolts for use in handling the cooling unit should it need to be
removed from the cabinet.
4.1 Prepare the Rack to Receive the Rack Cooling Unit
(Vertiv™ VRC-S Self-Contained)
Inserting cage nuts into the proper slots in the rack's rails before sliding the Vertiv VRC into the rack will also ease
assembly. The cage nuts may be inserted after the cooling unit is in the rack, but tighter quarters with the cooling unit
inside the rack means there will be less room to manipulate the cage nuts.
The cage nuts are used to attach the rack cooling unit to the rack's rails and to attach air baffles in the front of the rack even
with the top of the Vertiv VRC. Cage nuts are supplied with the rack. They may be found in the bag attached with the
manuals inside the rack.
Install cage nuts at these positions, except the 10U positions, on each of the cabinet's four rails. Insert cage nuts at the 10U
positions, 6U for split in the front rails only.
