How to install Middle Atlantic VWM Series Back Pan

Installing the VWM Series Back Pan is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize the reliability of your system. Follow these steps to ensure a secure and professional installation:

• Prepare the cabinet: Ensure the VWM wall cabinet is mounted securely to the wall or supporting structure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Confirm there is access to the back mounting area for the back pan.
• Align the back pan: With the back pan components within reach, align the back pan’s mounting holes or attachment features with the corresponding locations on the cabinet’s back plane. Check for proper alignment to avoid misfit during seating.
• Secure the back pan: Use the appropriate fasteners supplied or recommended by Middle Atlantic to attach the back pan to the cabinet. Tighten hardware evenly to prevent warping and to maintain a flat, level back surface for equipment mounting and cable management.
• Route cabling and equipment: Once seated, route power, network, audio/video, and other cabling along the back surface or internal channels as designed to keep front access clean. Use any provided grommets, channels, or clips to maintain organization and reduce strain on cables.
