How to Install Middle Atlantic SNE24-PRO-RR45

• Prepare your SNE Series rack by ensuring it is clear, clean, and structurally sound. Identify the vertical position where you plan to mount the rail pair and verify that there is enough clearance for all equipment you intend to mount, including any back-plane modules or cabling management accessories.
• Align the SNE24-PRO-RR45 with the rack’s mounting rails. Make sure the front edges of the rails align with the front face of the rack frame, and that the rails are perfectly level to prevent misalignment of equipment and potential interference with door closures or cable management.
• Secure the rails using the appropriate mounting hardware suited to your rack and installation environment. Use the standard mounting holes provided on the rails and on the rack posts, ensuring fasteners are appropriate for your rack material and weight load. Tighten securely to minimize movement without over-tightening, which could strip threads or deform components.
• Repeat the process for the opposite rail to complete the front-to-back support. Verify that both rails are parallel, level, and firmly anchored to the rack structure. A stable, level rail pair is essential for proper equipment alignment and safe handling during maintenance or upgrades.
• Install your 19" equipment into the 45U space, starting from the bottom and working upward as needed. Route cables cleanly along the rail faces or adjacent cable management provisions, ensuring that airflow is not obstructed and that weight distribution remains balanced across the rack to prevent racktip or instability under load.
