How to install Middle Atlantic Essex PIVOT-MMR-16 Mounting Panel for Rack
Installing the Pivot-MMR-16 is straightforward when you follow the sequence below. This guide emphasizes secure mounting, proper clearance for pivot operation, and careful planning for rear cabling. Always ensure your wall structure can bear the combined weight of the rack and mounted equipment, and use appropriate anchors for your wall type. The result is a stable, service-friendly installation that keeps equipment accessible and cables neatly organized.
- Step 1: Verify compatibility and prepare the installation area. Confirm the Essex MMR rack is compatible with the Pivot-MMR-16 backpan and identify the wall location that provides sufficient space for pivoting and rear cable access.
- Step 2: Mark mounting points and install wall anchors. Use a level to ensure the backpan will mount squarely, then secure anchors suitable for the wall material (drywall, concrete, or masonry) to support the expected load.
- Step 3: Attach the pivoting backpan to the wall. Align the backpan with the installed anchors and fasten it securely, checking that the pivot mechanism moves freely without obstruction.
- Step 4: Mount the Essex MMR rack onto the backpan. Use the provided hardware to attach the rack to the backpan, ensuring rails and mounting holes align properly for stable support and unobstructed rear access to ports and connectors.
- Step 5: Route cables and test pivot operation. Arrange cables to minimize strain on ports, verify that rear connections are accessible when pivoted, and test the pivot action to confirm smooth operation and reliable service access.
