How to install Middle Atlantic ERK-4420LRD

• Plan and level: Choose a stable, level location with adequate floor space. Verify the surrounding area allows for door clearance and ventilation, and confirm there is access to power and network connections as needed.

• Install rack rails: Attach the standard 19-inch rails at the desired mounting depth using the supplied hardware, ensuring rails are plumb, square, and secure to the cabinet frame for rigid support of mounted devices.
• Mount equipment: Begin with heavier items at the bottom to maintain a stable center of gravity. Align equipment with the rails, secure using appropriate rack screws, and distribute weight to optimize airflow and accessibility.

Label cords for easy identification, verify clearances for fans or venting, and reattach doors. If security is required, lock the doors to restrict access to authorized personnel.
