how to install Panduit PR2VD1296 Dual Sided Manager
- Prepare the rack and workspace. Ensure the rack rails are accessible, clean, and properly grounded. Confirm that the surrounding area can accommodate dual-sided access for side panels and cabling routes.
- Unpack and inspect the unit. Check for any shipping damage and verify that the PR2VD1296 is complete and ready for mounting as a single, pre-assembled frame. Keep hardware organized to simplify installation.
- Position and align. Place the dual-sided vertical manager into the rack bay, aligning mounting holes with the 19-inch rack rails. Ensure there is ample clearance for cable routing on both sides and that the frame sits plumb and secure.
- Secure the frame. Use the appropriate rack screws or hardware compatible with your rack system to fasten the unit firmly to the rails. Confirm all fasteners are tight and that the frame cannot shift or tilt during cable management tasks.
- Route and organize cables. Begin by routing primary power and data cables on each side, keeping pathways neat and separated by function (e.g., different sides for different network segments). Use Velcro straps or cable ties to maintain orderly bundles and leave sufficient slack for maintenance and future changes.
- Label and test. Apply clear cable labels for quick identification and perform a quick run-through of the connected equipment to verify proper connectivity. Check airflow around the manager to ensure there are no obstructions and that cooling paths remain clear.
