How to install Middle Atlantic Z-Rail Adapter, WMRK Series
Preparing for installation ensures a secure, stable setup. Begin by inspecting both rackrails and confirming they are clean, level, and unobstructed. Gather the necessary mounting hardware compatible with your rack system. Position the Z-Rail adapters so that the Z-style rails align with the intended side-mounted equipment, ensuring symmetry on both sides of the rack if applicable.
1. Align the adapters with the existing rackrails. Make sure the adapters sit flush against the rail surface and that the Z-channel orientation matches the plan for side-mounted devices.
2. Secure the adapters to the rackrails using the appropriate fasteners. Tighten to snug, even torque, taking care not to overtighten and risk damaging the rails or adapters.
3. Verify alignment and clearance. Check that the converted Z-rail surfaces are level and that there is sufficient space for the side-mounted equipment and any cable management features you plan to implement.
4. Mount side-mounted equipment. Attach your devices, panels, or accessories to the Z-rail adapters following the equipment manufacturer’s installation guidelines. Ensure weight is evenly distributed and that mounting points are secure.
5. Final inspection and testing. Confirm that rails glide or slide (if applicable) without obstruction, equipment is firmly secured, and there is adequate clearance for cables and airflow. If your setup includes hot-swappable components or power connections, perform a functional check to verify proper operation.
