How to install Middle Atlantic Front/Rear Door Extender

Installing the Front/Rear Door Extender is a straightforward process that enhances your rack’s depth while preserving the look and integrity of your existing setup. Follow these guidelines to achieve a secure, clean installation that minimizes downtime and preserves airflow and accessibility.

• Prepare your rack: Ensure the rack is powered down and cleared of loose equipment. Verify you have the correct extender model for your 41 RU BGR rack and that you have access to the mounting hardware required for installation.
• Detach or open doors as needed: Depending on your rack model and the extender configuration, you may need to temporarily remove or reposition the front or rear doors to access mounting points. Keep the doors in a safe place for reattachment.
• Align the extender: Position the extender so its mounting points align with the rack’s standard 19-inch rails. Confirm that the depth addition will fit with adjacent equipment and cabinet space, and verify clearances for cable routing.
• Attach securely: Use the rack’s existing hardware or the hardware provided with the extender to fasten the unit firmly to the front or rear frame. Ensure a level, snug fit to prevent any flex or misalignment during operation.
• Route cables and reinstall doors: Thread power and data cables through the included knockouts, organizing them neatly to maintain airflow. Reinstall the doors if applicable, or position them to maintain a uniform appearance. If more depth is required, repeat the process with additional extenders in sequence, ensuring proper alignment and clearance at every step.
