HPE 42U 600mm x 1200mm G2 Enterprise Shock Rack

The HPE 42U 600mm x 1200mm G2 Enterprise Shock Rack (P9K10A) is a purpose-built, ruggedized enclosure engineered to protect high-density server and storage infrastructure during transportation and in environments subject to seismic activity or mechanical shock. Constructed to meet GR-63-CORE Zone 4 seismic standards, the rack incorporates an integrated shock pallet and isolation mounting system that absorbs and dissipates dynamic forces before they reach installed equipment, making it particularly well-suited for factory-integrated, pre-racked solutions that must survive ground freight and air shipment without requiring post-transit reconfiguration.

With 42U of usable rack space within a 600mm wide by 1200mm deep footprint, the G2 Shock Rack accommodates the full portfolio of HPE ProLiant rack-mount servers, HPE Synergy composable infrastructure frames, HPE Nimble and MSA storage arrays, and associated networking components. The enclosure supports a maximum static load of 1,360 kg (3,000 lb), enabling full population with dense compute and storage nodes. A removable shock pallet base integrates directly with standard pallet jacks and forklifts, streamlining data center floor placement without the need for specialized lifting equipment.

Designed for enterprise data center and edge deployments requiring pre-integrated factory builds, the G2 Shock Rack ships as a complete, populated solution from HPE Integration Centers, reducing on-site installation labor and accelerating time to operation. The enclosure is compatible with HPE's full range of G2 power distribution units, cable management arms, and blanking panels, preserving consistent airflow and thermal management across mixed workload environments. Its robust steel construction, lockable front and rear doors, and side panels maintain physical security compliance requirements in regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, and government.

Ideal for

• Factory-integrated ProLiant server deployments shipped as fully populated, pre-cabled racks directly from HPE Integration Centers to enterprise data centers
• HPE Synergy composable infrastructure rollouts requiring shock-protected transit across multi-site enterprise or colocation environments
• Seismic-zone data center installations in geographic regions mandating GR-63-CORE Zone 4 compliance for critical infrastructure
• Edge computing deployments where racks must endure road or air freight to remote or branch locations before final installation
• High-density HPC and AI/ML compute clusters demanding maximum usable U-space and structural load capacity within a standard rack footprint
• Regulated-industry infrastructure builds in financial services, government, or healthcare facilities where physical security and transit integrity are procurement requirements
