how to install Middle Atlantic DWR Series 40RU Rack Rail - 10-32 Threaded - 2 Pack
- Identify the correct side and alignment for each rail by checking your rack’s vertical channels and ensuring the mounting holes correspond with your chosen hardware (10-32 screws or cage nuts).
- Prepare the rack by inserting cage nuts into the front and rear mounting rails where you plan to attach the rails. This provides a secure captive thread for the 10-32 screws.
- Position the rails at the desired depth within the rack, aligning the front rail holes with the rack’s front chassis and ensuring the rear rail aligns with the back panel or structural members as needed for stability.
- Secure the rails to the rack using the appropriate 10-32 screws or compatible fasteners. Tighten evenly to eliminate gaps and prevent misalignment, then verify straightness and levelness across both rails.
- Once the rails are firmly attached, mount your equipment by sliding it into the rack and securing using the rack’s standard hardware. Check that all mounting points are snug and that the equipment operates without binding or interference.
