how to install Middle Atlantic Front & Rear Door

• Prepare your rack: power down all equipment and ensure the workspace is clean and free of obstructions. Have the appropriate mounting hardware and tools ready, and confirm you are working with the correct front and rear door components identified for your model.
• Identify the mounting points: locate the designated mounting holes or brackets on the 12-rackspace side bay rack where the front and rear doors will attach. Double-check alignment with the openings to ensure proper fit before securing.
• Align the doors: position each door so that its hinges, latches (if present), and mounting surfaces align with the corresponding points on the rack. Take care to ensure the smoked plexi panels sit flush and square with the enclosure edges for a professional finish.
• Secure the doors: install mounting hardware per your rack’s specifications, tightening screws or fasteners to the recommended torque. Avoid overtightening, which can warp panels or affect door operation, and verify that doors swing freely without rubbing against rack rails or cabling.
• Test fit and function: once mounted, check the front and rear door operation, ensuring smooth opening and closing and confirming that there is no interference with cable management or equipment behind the doors. If needed, make minor alignment adjustments to achieve optimal clearance and aesthetics.
