How to install Middle Atlantic Custom McIntosh Shelf

Preparing for installation begins with a clean, accessible 19" rack. Verify that your rack is properly grounded and that the rails are aligned to the standard 19" spacing. With the shelf transported in its protective packaging, remove any fasteners or protective covers only as needed to access the mounting points. Align the shelf’s RSH mounting chassis with the rack rails, ensuring the face opening will align with the front of the component you intend to mount. Slide the shelf gently into the rack until the front edge sits flush with the rack face, taking care to preserve a straight, level alignment across all rails. Secure the shelf to the rack rails using the appropriate hardware for your enclosure—typically the same hardware used for other 19" components in your system. Once fastened, verify that the component’s face aligns cleanly with the rack front, creating a seamless, integrated appearance. Power and signal connections can then be routed behind the shelf, using proper cable management techniques to minimize clutter and maximize airflow. Finally, perform a functional check by powering the inserted component and confirming that all connections remain secure and that there is no excessive heat buildup around the shelf area. The design emphasizes a no-modification installation process, so you can install the component with confidence and confidence in a precise, professional fit.
