How to Install Middle Atlantic EWR Series 12RU Pivoting Wall Mounted Enclosure

• Plan your layout and mounting location: Choose a wall with solid framing capable of supporting the weight of populated rack gear. Consider proximity to power sources, network outlets, and cooling paths to maintain airflow and minimize cable runs.
• Prepare the wall and mounting surface: Locate wall studs or structural backing and verify the wall is plumb. Ensure there is clear access space for the 22" depth and the pivoting swing of the enclosure.
• Attach wall anchors or backing plates: Depending on your wall type, install appropriate anchors or backing plates rated for the anticipated load. Use a level to ensure the mounting surface is perfectly vertical to avoid misalignment during installation.
• Mount the enclosure frame: With the pivoting mechanism ready, secure the enclosure to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Verify that the frame sits firmly and can support the intended gear weight with minimal flex.
• Utilize the Tool Free Quick-Mount center section: If you’re configuring modular components, attach the center section using the Tool Free Quick-Mount system. This enables rapid assembly and future reconfigurations without tools.
• Route cables and install equipment: Begin with essential power and network cabling, then install patch panels, switches, and small servers as needed. Plan cable management channels and Velcro ties to keep cables organized and accessible when the door is closed.
• Close and test the pivoting enclosure: Gently swing the enclosure back into position, verify full range of motion, and test door latching if applicable. Power up equipment and confirm connectivity to ensure proper cabling and ventilation paths.
• Finalize with security and airflow considerations: If security is critical, ensure access panels and doors engage properly. Confirm that intake and exhaust paths remain unobstructed to promote cooling efficiency across the 12RU stack.
