SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The AisleLok® Rack Top Baffle Assembly attaches to the tops of IT rack cabinets using strong rare earth magnets. Use extreme
caution when handling the powerful magnets. Make sure to keep fingers clear of the contact area between the magnets and
the metal mounting surface.
For proper mounting, the AisleLok® Rack Top Baffle magnets must make direct contact with a steel or other ferrous metal
surface, e.g. rack top panel, rack frame, etc. Any obstruction that prevents the magnets from making direct metal contact will
reduce the holding force of the magnets and may cause the AisleLok® Rack Top Baffle to fall. Installation will likely require the
use of a ladder or moveable stairs, caution should be exercised when climbing up and down ladders/stairs. When standing on
the ladder/stairs, be careful of overhead lighting or cabling.
Installation Instructions:
AisleLok® Rack Top Baffle Assembly
1. Determine the best attachment position for the Magnet Tails
The tail assembly can be mounted in a number of different
positions. The outer most positions often work best on many
cabinets. Before attaching the tails to the extrusion base, make
sure to inspect the top surface of the cabinet the AisleLok® Rack
Top Baffle Assembly will be mounted to. Many cabinets have cable
cutouts, or other potential interference issues that must be avoided.
2. Attach the Tail Assemblies to the Extrusion
The magnet comes preassembled to the magnet tail with a
thumbscrew. The magnet position is adjustable on the tail,
but movement of the magnet is rarely needed.
a. With the most optimum mounting location identified, remove
the thumbscrew from the tail assembly, which is NOT attached
to the magnet.
b. Position the tail assembly beneath the desired hole on the
extrusion base flange. Insert the thumb screw thru the required
hole on the extrusion base and thread into the receiving
threaded hole on the tail assembly. Tighten by hand. Repeat for
the 2nd tail assembly.

3. Position the AisleLok® Rack Top Baffle Assembly on
top of the rack
a. To simplify full front to back and side to side
adjustability, the key is to keep the magnets elevated,
free from making any contact, until proper positioning
has been established.
b. Starting at the end of the aisle, rest the front contact
edge of the AisleLok® Rack Top Baffle Assembly
extrusion base as close to the front of the cabinet frame
(not the door) as allowable.
c. Maintain the AisleLok® Rack Top Baffle Assembly with
the magnet tails in the air, at approx a 15 – 30° angle to
the top of the rack, and then center the AisleLok
®
Rack
Top Baffle Assembly left to right.
d. When proper positioning has been established allow
the magnet tails to rotate downwards until the magnets
make contact with the sheetmetal with an audible ‘click’.
Note: To reposition the baffle, grab the middle top of the
clear panel and push up or in, in a continuous manner, such
that the action lifts the front edge of the extrusion base off
the cabinet and peels off the magnets from contact.
Important: Do not attempt remove Rack Top Baffle
Assembly by pulling down or forward.

4. Continue placing the AisleLok® Rack Top Baffle
Assembly on top of each rack in the aisle
a. Continue to populate the aisle by placing the AisleLok®
Rack Top Baffle Assembly on top of each rack in the
row. It is best to manage both sides of the aisle, as you
move down the rows.
b. Keep the gap between the plastic panels at a minimum
and align the Rack Top Baffle Assemblies evenly across
the top of the racks.
c. An optional alignment clip is provided to address any
baffle misalignment.
Use of the clips will help straighten out the alignment of the
baffles. Simply slide the clip to the top edge, across the
gap, of two adjacent panels.
Instructions for Cleaning
a. To clean clear plastic panels, mix warm water with a
small amount of liquid household detergent.
b. Using a micro fiber towel, lightly apply mixture to the
clear plastic. It is not recommended to use abrasive
cleaning items (i.e. scratch pads), as these items have
the potential to damage the product.
c. Wipe dry with a clean microfiber towel.
