Middle Atlantic DWR Series Pivoting Wall Rack - 24 RU

The Middle Atlantic DWR Series Pivoting Wall Rack in the 24 RU configuration is engineered for professional environments where space, accessibility, and reliability matter. This wall-mounted rack delivers maximum mounting capacity while keeping gear organized, cool, and serviceable. The pivoting design enables technicians to swing the rack away from the wall for unobstructed rear access, dramatically simplifying wiring, testing, and maintenance. With a forward rack rail integrated into the system, you gain the ability to mount equipment on or off the rail with ease, minimizing downtime during installs and upgrades. The DWR series also embraces Lever Lock compatibility, giving you secure, tool-free operation that accelerates setups and changes on busy job sites. Its 32-inch depth provides generous clearance for cabling, power distribution units, cooling paths, and cable management behind equipment, ensuring you don’t force cables into tight bends or adjacent gear. For integrators, IT professionals, and installers who demand scalability and speed, the DWR 24 RU wall rack combines rugged construction with a flexible accessory ecosystem that makes rack deployments up to five times faster than conventional fixed racks. From initial planning to long-term maintenance, this rack is designed to streamline workflows, increase uptime, and keep systems neat and compliant with industry standards.

How to install Middle Atlantic DWR Series Pivoting Wall Rack

• Plan your layout by identifying a sturdy wall location that can support the weight of full equipment loads. Verify wall studs or suitable anchors and confirm access for rear cabling and cooling clearance. Gather the required mounting hardware, including screws or anchors compatible with the wall material, and any additional brackets or rails specified for the DWR series.
• Prepare the mounting surface by marking drill points for the wall brackets or mounting plates. Ensure the anchor pattern aligns with the rack’s mounting rails and that the installation will sit plumb and level when closed. Tighten hardware to secure the mounting base but avoid overtightening, which can damage the rack or wall.
• Attach the DWR rack to the wall brackets, ensuring the forward rail alignment is correct to support on-rail and off-rail equipment installation. Use a level to confirm that the rack is straight, then firmly fasten all points according to the manufacturer's torque guidelines or instruction sheet.
• Install the pivoting mechanism and verify smooth operation. The pivot function should allow the rack to swing away from the wall with stable support, while the Lever Lock compatibility feature should enable secure engagement of accessories and components without tools. Route cabling through built-in channels or cable management features to prevent tangling during operation.
• Mount your equipment inside the 24 RU space, starting with heavier items at the bottom for stability. Use the forward rack rail to place gear on or off the rail as needed, and secure each device with appropriate straps or fasteners. Complete cable management by bundling, labeling, and routing power and data lines to minimize heat buildup and improve serviceability. Periodically test the pivot and lock mechanisms to ensure continued reliability in your installed environment.
• Perform a final system check by powering devices, verifying airflow and clearance behind the rack, and ensuring that all equipment remains accessible when the rack is in both closed and pivoted positions. Document the installation for future maintenance and updates, including hardware references and cable routing diagrams.
