how to install Middle Atlantic Trim Kit, AXS Series
To install the Middle Atlantic Trim Kit for the AXS Series, begin by ensuring you have a compatible rack and standard mounting hardware. Power down any equipment in the rack and disconnect cables as a precaution. Plan the trim kit placement so the edges align with the rack face for a flush, uniform look. Then follow these steps:
Step 1: Inspect the rack for any protrusions or irregularities along the edges where the trim will mount. If necessary, remove adjacent panels to gain full access and ensure a clean installation area.
Step 2: Align the trim kit with the top edge (or bottom edge, depending on your preferred orientation) of the rack. Make sure pre-drilled holes or mounting points line up with the rack rails to avoid misalignment during installation.
Step 3: Begin securing the trim kit using the standard rack screws appropriate for your system. Start at one corner and work methodically toward the opposite edge to maintain even pressure and alignment. Avoid overtightening, which could distort the trim or rails.
Step 4: Check for flush fit along all edges once the trim kit is attached. Confirm that no cables or equipment impede the trim’s seating and that the finish presents a consistent, uninterrupted line across the rack face.
Step 5: Reconnect any cables and power, and perform a quick functional check of the equipment inside the rack. Look for clearance around front panels, ventilation openings, and any mounted devices to ensure there is no contact or obstruction.
Step 6: If needed, make minor adjustments by loosening the mounting screws slightly, realigning, and retightening to achieve perfection. Clean off any fingerprints or smudges to preserve the trim kit’s premium appearance.
Pro tips: Work with a partner for hands-on alignment, especially on wider racks. Use a level to confirm horizontal alignment and maintain a consistent edge throughout the installation. If your installation environment demands additional protection or finishes, consider pairing the trim kit with compatible accessories to extend the professional look and rack integrity.
