Middle Atlantic Inner Base, BGR Series

Designed to optimize stability and organization within Middle Atlantic’s BGR Series racks, the Inner Base is a rugged, rack-mountable platform that enhances how bottom-mounted equipment is supported and serviced. Crafted from sturdy steel and finished in a black powder coat, this two-part inner base delivers dependable strength for heavy components while maintaining clean lines and professional aesthetics in any studio, post, or facility rack. The innovative two-part design is built to fit all BGR rack depths, allowing for flexible installations across a range of cabinet sizes. By providing a dedicated inner platform at the base of the rack, it confidently supports power supplies, amplifiers, servers, and other bulky hardware, reducing strain on rails and improving overall rack reliability. Whether you’re upgrading an existing installation or building a new rack from the ground up, the Inner Base adds a stable foundation that stays out of the way while facilitating airflow and efficient cable management.

• Engineered as a two-part design that integrates with BGR racks to maximize stability and serviceability. The inner base creates a secure bottom footing for heavy equipment, minimizing movement and vibration that can affect performance. This approach also simplifies retrofits and maintenance, as components can be swapped or upgraded without disturbing upper portions of the rack. With robust steel construction, the base maintains rigidity over years of daily use, ensuring long-term reliability even in demanding environments.
• Fits all BGR rack depths for universal compatibility. This means you don’t need multiple base pieces for different configurations; you gain a consistent foundation whether you’re outfitting a compact studio cabinet or a full-height rack. The universal depth compatibility helps optimize weight distribution, improves cable routing behind devices, and supports future growth or reconfiguration without additional parts or hardware. The design aligns with the BGR system’s rails and panels for a seamless, clean installation.
• Sturdy steel construction with a durable black powder coat finish. The heavy-gauge steel provides a solid platform for bottom-mounted equipment, while the powder coat offers superior resistance to wear, scratching, and fingerprints — ideal for busy production rooms and racks that see frequent access. The finish also contributes to a professional, low-maintenance appearance that remains attractive after years of service, even in environments with dust or occasional moisture exposure.
• Rack-mountable design for quick, predictable installation. The Inner Base is built to slip into BGR enclosures with minimal fuss, allowing you to complete rack builds faster and with greater confidence. Its bottom-platform approach helps distribute weight efficiently and reduces stress on rails, which can translate to quieter operation and longer component life. By keeping the base stable and aligned, it also simplifies future upgrades and changes, saving time during service windows.
• Low-profile footprint with improved cable management potential. The base sits neatly at the rack’s bottom, freeing vertical space for cabling, power strips, and other peripherals behind the mounted equipment. This design promotes cleaner cable routes, better airflow around devices, and easier access for servicing rear connections. The result is a tidier, safer rack environment that supports reliable cooling and straightforward maintenance.

How to install Middle Atlantic Inner Base, BGR Series

• Prepare your BGR rack by inspecting the interior for any obstructions and ensuring rails are clean and aligned. Confirm the rack depth matches the intended placement of the inner base so installation proceeds smoothly.
• Position the inner base inside the rack, aligning its mounting points with the rack’s support posts or rails. Gently slide the base into place until it sits evenly and is flush with the front and rear rails for secure seating.
• Secure the inner base using the appropriate mounting hardware recommended by Middle Atlantic for BGR-series racks. Tighten hardware evenly to maintain precise alignment and prevent any tilt or shift that could affect equipment stability.
• Place your bottom-mounted equipment on the inner platform base, ensuring weight is distributed evenly and the unit sits firmly without rocking. Check for levelness and confirm that all devices remain stable during gentle vibration or slight rack movement.
• Route cables and manage airflow to maximize cooling efficiency. Keep power, data, and front-and-rear connections organized behind devices to avoid obstruction and to facilitate safe maintenance access in the future.
