How to Install Middle Atlantic Rack Drawer
Installing the Middle Atlantic Rack Drawer is designed to be straightforward and time-efficient, so you can add organized storage to your rack without downtime or complicated steps. Follow these general guidelines to ensure a secure, long-lasting installation within your existing rack enclosure:
- Prepare the rack by powering down any equipment and freeing the mounting area where the drawer will sit. Remove any obstructions and verify you have access to the standard 19" mounting rails.
- Position the drawer at the desired depth in the rack, aligning its mounting holes with the vertical rails. If your rack uses swing-out or fixed rails, adapt the alignment accordingly to maintain full extension and clearance for cables and devices.
- Secure the drawer using the appropriate rack screws through the side or rear mounting points, ensuring a solid, level installation. Do not overtighten, as this can warp rails or affect drawer movement.
- Test the drawer’s function by extending it fully, loading a representative weight, and retracting it to verify smooth operation and unobstructed travel. Check that the front face remains flush with the rack and that the drawer glides without binding.
- Reorganize or load equipment gradually, ensuring that heavier items are distributed evenly and that cables do not pinch when the drawer is closed. Label or categorize contents to maximize the drawer’s organizational benefits.
