How to install Middle Atlantic Split Vented Rear Door, 44 RU DRK Racks

Installing the split vented rear door is a straightforward process designed for compatibility with Middle Atlantic 44U DRK rack systems. Follow these steps to ensure a secure fit, optimal airflow, and easy access to cable bundles.

  • Power down all equipment and disconnect power sources before handling the rack enclosure. Safety first ensures you won’t damage components during installation.
  • Remove the existing rear door panels or existing door hardware if replacing an older enclosure feature. Verify that mounting points and hardware match the new split rear door’s attachment points.
  • Align the split door with the rear opening of the DRK rack. The door is designed to fit the 44U DRK frame, so position it so hinges align with the rack’s side channels for smooth operation.
  • Secure the door using the provided screws or mounting hardware. Tighten evenly to avoid warping the door or misalignment of the perforated panel. Check that the door opens and closes freely without obstructing any mounted devices or cables.
  • Test airflow and clearance around cables. Ensure the 76% open area is unobstructed by large cables or ties. Adjust cable management as needed to maximize ventilation and reduce hot spots near power supplies or heat‑generating devices.
  • Close the door and verify it remains securely in place during normal operation. Confirm that the door does not interfere with rack rails, shelves, or other accessories installed on the DRK rack.
  • Label and organize cables as you finalize the setup. A clean rear area improves serviceability, reduces maintenance time, and helps with future upgrades or reconfigurations.
