How to Install Middle Atlantic VWM Series Split Door Back Pan
Note: For best results, follow all local electrical and building codes and consult your facility’s installation guidelines. The steps below provide a general installation workflow aligned with standard practices for mounting platforms in the VWM Series ecosystem.
Step 1: Plan the layout. Assess the wall space where the VWM Series back pan will be installed and verify structural support. Confirm that the 36" height and 10" depth fit within the overall cabinet system and that there is adequate clearance for ventilation and accessibility. Prepare the mounting area by locating studs or suitable anchor points and ensuring a clean, debris-free workspace.
Step 2: Prepare the back pan and surrounding components. Inspect the back pan to ensure all panels, hinges (for the split doors), and mounting points are present and undamaged. If your installation includes additional accessories or adapters from the VWM Series family, gather them for a seamless integration. Clean any protective films or packaging residues before beginning assembly.
Step 3: Position and align. With a colleague or appropriate support, position the back pan against the wall or within the enclosing cabinet frame. Carefully align mounting holes with studs or approved anchors. Check that the split doors align flush with adjacent panels to avoid interference with door operation or cable routing.
Step 4: Fasten securely. Use the recommended mounting hardware appropriate for your wall type and the VWM Series back pan. Tighten all fasteners to ensure a solid, vibration-free installation. Double-check that the back pan remains level and square as you tighten to prevent door misalignment or future service issues.
Step 5: Manage cables and install equipment. Begin routing power, data, and signal cables through the back pan’s designated channels or cable management features. Arrange cables to minimize strain on connectors and to maintain clear airflow paths. Install equipment inside the back pan area, ensuring weight distribution is balanced and within the back pan’s tolerances. Leave enough slack for connectivity and future upgrades while maintaining a clean front profile.
Step 6: Finalize the split doors. Attach or adjust doors for smooth operation, ensuring the split mechanism opens and closes without obstruction. Confirm that door clearance allows easy access to rear connections and that the hinge motion does not contact installed equipment. Perform a final check of alignment, airflow, and cable management. power on equipment to verify functional integration and temperature stability.
