Middle Atlantic 1 Bay Riser Base for 42" Deep SNE Racks — 24" Wide Floor-Standing Open Frame

Engineered for professional AV and data-center installations, the Middle Atlantic 1 Bay Riser Base for 42 Inch Deep SNE Racks and 24 Inch Wide Racks delivers a robust, floor-standing foundation that keeps equipment elevated, protected, and easy to service. Designed to integrate with Middle Atlantic’s SNE open-frame rack ecosystem, this riser base is a modular solution that enhances airflow, simplifies cable management, and creates a clean, professional footprint in control rooms, broadcast suites, and server environments. With a 42" depth, it provides ample rear clearance for power distribution, cable bundles, and rear-access components while preserving front-access usability. The 24" width aligns with standard 1-bay rack footprints, ensuring a seamless, cohesive appearance that looks as good as it performs. Finished in a durable black powder coat, the base resists wear in busy installation spaces, and its adjustable options accommodate custom sizes and heights to fit your exact room layout and equipment stack. This riser base is the right choice for installers seeking reliability, modularity, and a neat, professional presentation for 1-bay SNE racks.

• Designed to pair with 24" wide, 1-bay SNE racks, the base provides a stable, precisely aligned platform that ensures clean front-facing cabling and easy service access. The footprint mirrors the rack’s dimensions to deliver a consistent, professional look across the installation.
• 42" deep compatibility delivers generous rear clearance for power strips, rear cable bundles, and cooling pathways. This depth helps minimize heat buildup and makes maintenance tasks more straightforward without sacrificing front-end accessibility.
• Floor-standing open frame construction with a black powder coat finish promotes durability in high-traffic environments such as studios, control rooms, and data centers. The rugged finish resists scuffs and scratches while maintaining a polished, professional appearance over years of use.
• Cable management is enhanced by an integrated pass-through beneath the rack, allowing cables to run under the base for a tidy, uninterrupted front presentation. Optional floor tiles or tiles-compatible configurations can be used to create a seamless floor integration around the rack.
• Custom sizes and heights are available to match unique room constraints or specialized rack configurations. This flexibility ensures a precise fit and a seamless aesthetic, even in installations that require non-standard dimensions or layered equipment stacks.

How to Install Middle Atlantic 1 Bay Riser Base

• Prepare the installation area by ensuring the floor is level, clean, and free of debris. Confirm that the chosen location can accommodate the 24" width and 42" depth footprint with room for service and cabling behind the rack.
• Place the riser base in the intended position under the 1-bay SNE rack. Align the base with the rack’s footprint so that the front edge of the base coincides with the rack’s front face and the rear clearance aligns with the intended cable routes.
• If using support angles or floor tiles, install these components first to create a flush, integrated platform. Ensure any tile interfaces do not obstruct the base’s pass-through area or the rack’s ventilation zones.
• Route rear cabling through the space beneath the base as needed. Confirm that cables have ample clearance to avoid pinch points and that airflow pathways remain unobstructed for proper cooling.
• Elevate and position the rack on the base, verifying vertical alignment. Secure the rack to the base per the manufacturer’s guidance or your site’s mounting protocol, then perform a functional cable run to verify that all connections reach without strain or interference.
• Perform a final inspection to ensure stability, verify levelness across the base, and check that front, rear, and bottom clearances meet your installation requirements. Document any custom configurations or adjustments for future maintenance or upgrades.
