How to Install Middle Atlantic RSH Face Plate, 2 RU, Textured

Installing the RSH Face Plate is straightforward and quick, designed to integrate with existing RSH Series rackshelves. Follow these steps to achieve a secure, professional finish for your rack installation:

• Power down and unplug any equipment in the rack before beginning installation to ensure safety and prevent accidental damage.
• Verify that your RSH Series rackshelves are properly mounted in the rack and aligned with the 19" mounting rails for a precise fit.
• Position the 2U RSH Face Plate so that its mounting holes align with the front rails of the rack shelves. If your system requires, use the appropriate rack hardware that matches your rack’s screw size and thread (commonly 10‑32 or M6/M4 variants depending on your setup).
• Secure the face plate to the rack shelves with the chosen hardware, tightening evenly to ensure a flat, flush front profile without over‑tightening, which could distort the panel or affect mounting alignment.
• Double‑check that the face plate sits square against the rack front, with no gaps around the edges, and verify that any cables or components accessible on the front are not restricted by the panel.
