How to Install Middle Atlantic RFR Series 16RU Portable Rack

Begin by choosing a level, sturdy location that can accommodate the weight and size of the full rack with equipment installed. If you plan to move the rack frequently, ensure there is sufficient clearance for the casters to roll and for door openings to swing freely. Remove any doors or panels as needed to provide easier access during installation, then reattach them after setup.

Install the mounting rails first. Align the rails with the 19" mounting spacing and secure them at the top and bottom per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Double-check that the rails are plumb and level to prevent equipment mounting issues and to maintain proper airflow. When mounting equipment, distribute weight evenly across the 16U to avoid tipping and ensure stable operation during transport.

Secure all equipment with the appropriate screws into the rails, taking care to avoid over-tightening which could damage rack rails or equipment chassis. Route cables neatly along the sides or behind equipment using cable management provisions, leaving enough slack to permit insertion and removal without disconnecting devices. Reinstall the rack doors or panels, if removed, and verify that ventilation paths remain unobstructed to preserve the passive cooling design.

Finally, position the rack in its final location and engage the casters. If mobility is needed, unlock the casters and move the rack with controlled, slow movements to avoid jostling sensitive equipment. Once in place, lock the casters to prevent unintended movement, adjust the rack height if required, and perform a quick functionality check to ensure all devices power on correctly and that temperature remains within safe operating ranges. Regularly inspect cables and fittings to maintain a clean, efficient, and safe equipment environment.
