How to Install Middle Atlantic DWR Series 35RU Pivoting Wall Mounted Rack

• Plan the installation: Determine the wall location that provides clear access to rear cabling, power, and network connections. Verify wall integrity and ensure sufficient support for a 26-inch deep cabinet. Prepare a layout that accommodates venting, cable management, and future expansion.
• Gather components: Assemble the DWR Series rack, required forward rails, lever-lock hardware, and any tool-free accessories included with the system. Have tape measure, level, and basic hand tools on hand for precise mounting and alignment.
• Mark and locate mounting points: Identify stud lines or reinforced backing behind the chosen wall surface. Mark the locations for mounting brackets or rails that will anchor the cabinet securely to the wall while supporting the full 35RU load and dynamic access when pivoted.
• Attach mounting rails and pivot mechanism: Install the forward rail and pivot hardware according to the product’s guidance, ensuring smooth pivot action and unobstructed clearance when the door or panels swing open. Use the lever-lock components where applicable to secure rails and equipment during operation and maintenance.
• Mount equipment and route cables: Place equipment into the 35RU space, using any tool-free accessories to secure gear as needed. Route power, data, and control cables along integrated cable management paths to minimize interference and maximize airflow. Ensure rear cabling is accessible for maintenance when the rack is pivoted.
• Test operation and secure the enclosure: Pivot the rack to confirm full range of motion, then secure any locking mechanisms (such as lever locks) and verify that doors or panels close without binding. Re-check all fasteners for snugness and confirm that equipment remains stable during movement.
• Finalize labeling and documentation: Document the configuration, including rack unit mappings, cable routes, and any lever-lock positions. Label power and network ports for quick identification during service calls or future upgrades.
