How to install Middle Atlantic 12 Space Outboard Rack HM

• Unpack and inspect: Remove the cabinet from its packaging, verify that all components are present, and check for any shipping damage. Since the unit ships fully assembled, ensure the area around the cabinet is clear for placement and operation of the casters.
• Choose a location: Position the rack on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation around the cabinet. Ensure access to the front and rear rails for mounting equipment and to any power outlets or network connections needed for your devices.
