Middle Atlantic AXS Rack Frame

The Middle Atlantic AXS Rack Frame is a purpose-built solution for professional environments that demand fast access, reliable organization, and scalable mounting for a full bay of equipment. Designed to integrate with the AXS system, this rack frame lets you pull out an entire bay for rapid installation or service, then snap the components back into place with minimal downtime. Its telescoping service stand and detachable tracks offer effortless operation and hassle-free storage, while the bold black powder finish lends a sophisticated, professional look to any control room, studio, or data-center rack.

  • Full-bay pull-out design for rapid access: Retrieve an entire bay of gear in moments, simplifying service, updates, and routine maintenance without disassembling your rack.
  • Telescoping service stand with detachable tracks: Smooth extension, secure retraction, and easy storage—tracks disconnect so you can tuck the system away neatly when not in use.
  • Durable steel construction with a black powder coat: Built to handle frequent use in demanding environments while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
  • Optimized organization and versatile mounting: Supports varied equipment types—from AV gear and amps to power distributors—within the standard 19" rack framework of the AXS system.
  • Easy installation and future-proof design: Modular, tool-friendly assembly that reduces setup time and adapts to evolving rack configurations as your needs grow.

How to Install Middle Atlantic AXS Rack Frame

Installing the AXS Rack Frame is designed to be straightforward, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance of your rack environment. Follow these steps to ensure a secure, fully functional setup that takes full advantage of the AXS system’s modular design.

  • Step 1 — Gather and verify components: Check that you have the AXS Rack Frame, all tracks, telescoping service stand, and mounting hardware required for your rack size and bay configuration. Confirm compatibility with your existing AXS bays before beginning installation.
  • Step 2 — Position the frame in the rack: Slide the frame into the 19" rack opening, aligning mounting rails with the rack rails. Ensure there is unobstructed space for full extension of the pull-out bay and for cable management behind the equipment.
  • Step 3 — Secure the frame: Use standard 19" rack screws to fasten the frame securely to the rack sides. Tighten screws evenly to prevent misalignment and to maintain even load distribution across the rails.
  • Step 4 — Attach the tracks and service stand: Connect the telescoping tracks to the frame according to the included wiring and hardware instructions. Secure the tracks so the extension and retraction movement is smooth and stable. Verify that the service stand can extend without binding.
  • Step 5 — Load and test: Slip your equipment into the bay, balancing weight across the rack to maintain stability. Extend the bay to confirm smooth operation, back out the cables to allow adequate slack, and perform a full cycle to ensure reliable engagement and retraction.
  • Step 6 — Cable management and final adjustments: Route power and data cables neatly behind the equipment, using velcro ties or cable ducts to prevent tangling during extension. Make any necessary depth adjustments to avoid interference with adjacent gear.

Tip: If you’re upgrading from a non-AXS frame, consult Middle Atlantic documentation for compatibility notes to ensure that the bay dimensions and rail spacing align with your existing gear. Regular inspection of screws, tracks, and service components will extend the life of your rack frame and keep pull-out operation running smoothly.
