How to Install Vertiv VR Caster Kit

Installing the Vertiv VR Caster Kit is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize reliability. Follow these steps to ensure a secure, level setup that preserves rack integrity and cabling while enabling smooth movement:

• Prepare your VR Rack: Ensure the rack is fully assembled, stable, and free of any obstructions around the installation area. Verify that the floor surface is clean and level to prevent uneven movement.
• Remove or retrofit if needed: If your VR Rack currently sits on stationary feet, you may need to remove them as directed by the installation guide. Keep any mounting hardware for later use if recommended by Vertiv documentation.
• Attach caster assemblies: Position the caster frames at the designated mounting points on the rack chassis. Align holes, insert fasteners, and tighten to the recommended torque using the supplied hardware. Ensure all four casters are securely attached and evenly seated.
• Engage brakes and test mobility: With the caster kit installed, test by gently moving the rack. Engage the brakes to confirm they hold the rack in place when stationary, and release to verify smooth, controlled movement in all directions.
• Verify alignment and clearances: Re-check wheel alignment, leveling adjustments, and clearance around doors, power cords, and airflow vents. Make any needed tweaks to the leveling feet to ensure the rack sits perfectly level and stable.
