How to install Middle Atlantic DWR Series 18RU Pivoting Wall Mounted Rack - 22in Depth

• Position the DWR rack against the wall where you want the mounting location. Use a stud finder and level to identify solid anchoring points and ensure the wall can bear the load of the rack and attached equipment.
• Mount the wall brackets or rails included with the DWR system according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. The Forward rail interface should be aligned so that front-to-back insertion is unimpeded, and the pivoting mechanism will operate smoothly.
• Attach the rails securely to the wall, verifying level alignment and ensuring fasteners engage solid structural members. Use the supplied hardware and, if required, compatible wall anchors for your wall type.
• With rails in place, slide your equipment onto the rack using the Forward rail system. Leverage the lever-lock mechanism to secure each device once properly seated, and avoid over-tightening to preserve rack rails.
• Route cables neatly using integrated cable management features and the tool-free accessories provided. Close and test the pivoting action to confirm full front and rear accessibility, then perform a functional check of power and signal connectivity.
