How to install Middle Atlantic 550 CFM Fan Top with Controller
- Power down all equipment and disconnect from any power sources before starting installation.
- Identify a compatible rack enclosure and ensure the top surface is clean and prepared for mounting. The MW-10FT-FC is designed to mount as a top-of-rack cooling solution.
- Position the fan top onto the rack, aligning mounting points with the enclosure’s top surface. Secure the unit using the appropriate screws or hardware compatible with your rack model. Tighten mounting hardware evenly to avoid warping.
- Connect the fan top to a suitable power source according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. If applicable, connect any temperature sensor or controller leads to the control module and route cables to minimize interference with airflow.
- Set the thermostatic setpoint on the proportional speed controller to match your operating environment. Begin with a conservative low-temperature setting and adjust based on observed heat loads and equipment temperatures.
- Power on the system and verify proper operation. Check that the fan spins smoothly, guards are secure, and the controller responds to temperature changes. Confirm that airflow is unobstructed and that no cables impede fan movement.
- Test at load: power up your equipment and monitor temperatures during peak activity. If temperatures remain elevated, consider adjusting the setpoint or ensuring adequate intake and exhaust clearance around the rack.
- Document the installation for maintenance purposes and schedule periodic checks to ensure continued performance, dust control, and quiet operation over time.

Color: Classic Cherry, Size: L:29.80" x W:13.09" x H:71.26", Color: Classic Cherry, Size: L:29.80" x W:13.09" x H:71.26"
I used to work at big box store some twenty years ago and there were two selling points for Sauder furniture at the time. The furniture was 3/4 inch particle board and ease of construction. Well neither of those are the case any longer. I am putting this together and the L brackets that Sauder provides are of the adjustable variety. This lets one slide the two wooden pieces so to obtain a match on their edges. Well in theory, in reality one cannot slide them far enough so one has a 1/4 inch mismatched edge. On part H which is a horizontal trim piece. It is not long enough to cover the trim pieces edges that are below it in the vertical. Those edges are raw wood, but do not worry Sauder has been kind enough to include a brown magic marker so I will be able to cover up that raw wood. I included a photo of one side. To be fair this is the worst side the other side is about an eighth of an inch. And to be even more fair, there should not be any raw wood showing. It is not very sturdy either, the only thing that makes it from really wobbling is the fiber board backing at the rear of the bookcase. My expectations when I bought this piece of furniture was not that great. I wanted to buy a piece of furniture that was fairly easy to put together. I also wanted a piece of furniture that looked okay. This piece of furniture achieved neither one, I would have been better off going to a second hand furniture store and buying a bookcase there. Even if I had to refinish the second hand bookcase it would of been less hassle then this thing. Oh, Sauder I do not want to see a response saying please contact us at 1-800 whatever. When do most people put this furniture together? I would hazard to guess the weekend. When is Sauder customer service open? I can tell you it is not the weekend. If you are thinking of buying this, I would think twice.

Perfect buy
Color: Classic Cherry, Size: L:29.80" x W:12.99" x H:71.26"
I absolutely love this bookcase. It’s stable. It has the perfect color. It’s the perfect height not too tall, but definitely not short. And if it’s perfectly in the corner of my room, the only issue I had with this is the assembly process. Definitely don’t recommend you assembling it on your own. Definitely having someone there to help you assemble it. It’s definitely something I would do. It stores a lot of books, but definitely follow the weight capacity. I didn’t follow the weight capacity and now I have slightly bent shelves. It has good stability.The value is fair for how long it lasts because I still haven’t and it’s still standing.

Difficult to assemble, low quality, but looks nice
Color: Classic Cherry, Size: L:29.80" x W:13.09" x H:71.26"
It looks nice when finished, but it's a major pain to put together. I've assembled a lot of DIY furniture over the years, but this was one of the more frustrating ones, mainly because of the unnecessarily difficult way the finishing slats need to be attached. Also the frame was very unstable during assembly. This bookcase is also not exactly sturdy even when finished. It's a low-quality product in all respects, really, except the nice way it looks. Value for money? meh. Color is nice.

Excellent Customer Service. Follow instructions.
Color: Classic Cherry, Size: L:29.80" x W:13.09" x H:71.26"
I LOVE the color of this bookcase. The bookcases at the big chain store generally cost around $100, so this is about what I was expecting. It's a nicer quality with thicker shelves than the big chain store bookshelves and I really wanted the cherry color, which, on this bookcase, is gorgeous.
It was a bit difficult to assemble only because I asked for help from a male friend who insisted that we skip through the directions. We ended up getting a screw caught between two beams because he didn't want to sort out the screws like I ALWAYS do before assembling any furniture. Note: just breathe, relax and take your time and follow the directions, and if you ask for help from someone, give them a sedative, like a big dose of kava or something because it's going to take several hours. Once it's finished, though, it's really lovely. I filled it with books and so far, it's been fine.
It is particle board with a finish, so if you scratch it, it's going to show. But, it comes with a brown color-coordinated marker so you can cover up minor scratches or flaws in the finish. I was a little surprised that the top of the bookcase is unfinished, but maybe a lot of bookcases are not nowadays. I wouldn't put it in a location where the top of it shows - like next to a staircase. The backboard is cardboard folded in half with the same cherry finish, which for me really wasn't an issue because I always fill my bookcases completely with books so the back doesn't really show. There are weight restrictions for each shelf, so make sure you pay attention to those - some shelves hold more weight than others.
I plan to assemble the second one by myself now that I understand what's involved. I have to give five stars because customer service was so amazing. I didn't open the second bookcase for a long time, but despite the time that had passed, they still replaced a damaged beam very quickly, and even reshipped the beam a second time because I had given the wrong address. That was really amazing! Never had such a good experience with customer service before.
