How to install Middle Atlantic Essex PIVOT-MMR-12 Mounting Panel

• Plan and verify mounting location: Select a sturdy wall surface capable of supporting the Essex MMR rack and any connected equipment. Confirm clearance around the pivot range to ensure unobstructed movement and access to rear connections.
• Unpack and inspect components: Remove the Pivot-MMR-12 from its packaging and verify that the backpan, mounting rails, and all supplied fasteners are present. Inspect for any shipping damage before proceeding.
• Attach the pivot backpan assembly to the wall: Use the provided fasteners to secure the pivot-backpan to the wall at the designated mounting points, ensuring a level orientation. Double-check that the wall anchors or screws are appropriate for the wall type (stud, concrete, or other) and tighten to specification to prevent movement.
• Mount the Essex MMR rack to the panel: Align the Essex MMR rack’s mounting interface with the backpan, then secure the rack to the pivot panel per the rack manufacturer’s installation guidelines. Confirm that the rack seating is stable and that the pivot mechanism remains unobstructed.
• Route cables and test the pivot function: Organize rear cables, power leads, and interconnections with cable management in mind. With the panel in the service position, verify that rear access is unhindered and that pivot action operates smoothly without binding or interference. Re-check all fasteners after initial movement.
• Finalize and clean up: Tidy cable runs with ties or clips, ensuring proper strain relief and airflow around the equipment. Perform a functional check of all connections, and label cables as needed for future maintenance. Close the panel into the service or locked position as required by your installation standards.
