Installing the PFD-40 front door is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and preserve the integrity of your rack setup. Follow these general steps to attach the Plexi front door to compatible ERK, MRK, or WRK racks:

• Step 1: Power down and secure all equipment in the rack. Ensure the rack is stable and accessible for maintenance work, following your facility’s safety protocols.
