How to install Middle Atlantic Vented Rear Door

• Prepare your rack enclosure: Confirm that your rack is a standard 19" system and that the 54U height is suitable for the equipment you intend to mount. Clear the rear opening and ensure surrounding clearances for door opening and cable management.
• Remove the existing rear panel or door: If you are upgrading an existing enclosure, carefully detach the current rear access panel, preserving mounting hardware or using the new hardware provided with the vented door as required.
• Position the vented rear door: Align the door with the rack’s rear opening, ensuring that mounting points line up with the rack rails or brackets. The split design should allow one side to swing or open independently as needed for service access.
• Secure the door to the rack: Use the appropriate screws or mounting hardware specified by Middle Atlantic for your rack model. Tighten evenly to avoid warping or misalignment, checking that the door sits flush against the frame and that the vented area lines up with the interior airflow path.
• Test operation and airflow: Open and close the door to verify smooth operation without binding. Confirm that rear cable management is accessible and that the 64% open area is unobstructed, allowing adequate airflow across the equipment.
• Perform a system check: With equipment installed, power on the rack and monitor temperature readings or cooling performance. Ensure that the vented design yields improved airflow as intended and that no cables interfere with door movement.
