How to install Middle Atlantic CFR Series 8RU Cabinet Frame

Installing the CFR Series 8RU Cabinet Frame is designed to be straightforward, with a focus on safety, ease of handling, and quick readiness for equipment. Begin by selecting a suitable location that can support the weight and provide adequate ventilation for all mounted equipment. Check that the space accommodates an open-frame, 16-inch-deep frame and allows clear access to both front and rear panels for wiring and service work.

Next, prepare the frame for pre-loading if you plan to assemble gear off-site. With the frame on a clean, stable surface, mount compatible 19-inch equipment to the front-to-rear mounting points according to the equipment’s weight and distribution requirements. Use the frame’s open design to arrange power components, media processors, and any other devices in a balanced configuration that minimizes cable tension and promotes airflow.

Utilize the included front-to-rear lacing bars to guide and secure cables. Route power, data, and video cables in separate channels where possible to reduce interference, and label cables for quick reference during future servicing. The lacing bars help maintain neat cable runs, which simplifies modifications and rework during upgrades or maintenance.

Once the equipment is pre-loaded and cables are organized, move the frame to its installation site. Confirm that all mounting points align with the installation surface, and secure the frame as required by the venue or cabinet specifications. If the frame is intended to be bolted to a floor, wall, or rack system, follow the appropriate mounting procedures and use compatible hardware to ensure a stable, vibration-free installation. Finally, power on the equipment and verify that all components are functioning correctly, with proper airflow and cable management verified through a final walkthrough.
