RACK ASSEMBLY
1) Align the (4) pre-installed mounting studs on each rackrail with mounting holes in top and bottom
frames. (FIGURE A)
2) Loosely secure each rackrail to top and bottom frame using (2) 5/16” flange nuts per frame.

3) Install (4) 10-32 Hex Head screws through top and bottom frames into each rackrail. (FIGURE B)
4) Install (2) squaring panels on front and rear of assembly using (4) 10-32 x 1/4” screws. Locate
squaring panels at the mid-point of rackrail assembly. (FIGURE B)
5) If supplied, install (2) support brackets on pre-installed rackrail mounting studs using (2) 10-32 hex
head screws per bracket. (FIGURE B)
6) Lay assembly on a flat, level surface and square frame on all four corners. (FIGURE C)
7) Tighten all flange nuts.

EQUIPMENT LOADING AND SQUARING PANELS
To eliminate the possibility of a center bow in the
frame, Middle Atlantic Products suggests that the
squaring panels be left in place until some of your
components have been mounted.

RACK ASSEMBLY (Continued)
8) Install top trim panel using (2) 10-32 x 1/4” screws. (FIGURE E)
NOTE: Top trim panel contains only two screw holes.
9) If equipped, align the edge of the lacer bars with the
outside edge of the rackrail and ensure that the flat
side of the lacer bar is on top. Install the lacer bars
as shown using 10-32 Phillips head screws. (FIGURE F)
NOTE: The lacer bars should not be placed in the
bottom 8 rackspaces. The lacer bars on
the rack should be 2 rackspace above or below
the corresponding lacer bars on the rough-in pan.
TIP: When installing the lacer bars on the rough-in
pan, place the rack with the roller base on the
Screws (2)
10-32 x 1/4”
rough-in pan and mount the equipment in the rack
and position the lacer bars as needed. This will
simplify cable management once the rough-in pan
is mounted into the millwork. (FIGURE G)

SERVICE STAND / SERVICE TRACK ASSEMBLY
1) Assemble service stand as per instructions
included with unit.
2) Adjust stand to approximate height of
rough-in pan. (FIGURE H)
3) Position notched end of each service track on
service stand saddles. (FIGURE H)
CAUTION! Be sure notched ends are
!
fully seated in service stand saddles
to prevent tracks from falling out.

RACK INSTALLATION / CABLE MANAGEMENT
1) Place rack on service track assembly (observe proper front/rear orientation). (FIGURE K)
CAUTION! Do not allow the frame to roll off end of tracks.
NOTE: Determine which direction the rack will rotate before beginning cable management.
2) Select one side of the rack for signal cables, and the opposite side for power cables. Extend the
rack and rotate 60º as shown. Lace the cables as shown, ensuring that the cables are taut. This
ensures that the service loop will be the correct length and not be pinched when closing the rack.

SECURING RACK ASSEMBLY IN MILLWORK
1) Roll loaded rack into millwork.
2) Install bottom trim panel using (4) 10-32 Phillips head screws (included in hardware kit). (FIGURE M)
WARNING! The trim panel is integral to the safe operation of this product and is required to
prevent the rack from sliding out. Failure to install trim panel can result in serious damage to
equipment and/or risk of injury.
3) Remove tracks and service stand.
