How to install Middle Atlantic RRF27 Mounting Rail
- Prepare the rack: Confirm your enclosure uses the standard 19" rack format and that the available rough opening is approximately 19 1/8" wide. Ensure the rack frame is clean and free of obstructions where the rails will be mounted.
- Align the rails: With the pair of RRF27 rails, position each rail so that the threaded holes align with the rack’s mounting points. Maintain a level orientation across the front and back of the rack to avoid skewed equipment placement.
- Secure with 10-32 screws: Use standard 10-32 rack screws to attach the rails to the rack frame. Begin at one end and gradually tighten toward the opposite end to maintain even tension and alignment. Do not over-tighten, as this can strip the threads or distort the rail.
- Verify alignment and depth: After initial mounting, verify that the rails are parallel and level. If your equipment requires a specific depth, adjust the rails to ensure the faceplates and connectors align properly with the rack doors or panels.
- Mount equipment and test: Slide your rack-mount hardware onto the rails, aligning it with the rail holes. Secure the equipment with 10-32 screws, and check that all components sit squarely without binding. Perform a gentle test to ensure the assembly remains stable under light pressure, then tighten any remaining screws as needed.
