How to install Middle Atlantic VWM Series Split Door Back Pan

Installing the VWM Series Split Door Back Pan is a straightforward process designed for professional installers and trusted technicians. Follow these general steps to achieve a secure, clean, and serviceable installation. Always refer to your facility’s safety guidelines and relevant building codes before beginning any work.

• Plan your layout: Assess the wall space where the back pan will be mounted, noting stud locations, available clearance, and the height that will provide convenient access for future maintenance. Confirm that the 42" height and 10" depth fit within the intended wall cavity and that there is sufficient room for cable management paths behind the split doors.
• Prepare the mounting surface: Verify the wall structure is suitable for supporting the weight of mounted equipment plus the back pan itself. Mark and verify anchor points aligned with the back pan’s mounting pattern. Gather the appropriate fasteners for wall studs or solid backing, in accordance with local building standards.
• Attach mounting hardware: Secure the back pan’s mounting rails or enclosure frame to the wall using the recommended hardware. Ensure the assembly is level and square, as improper alignment can hinder door operation and rear-access functionality. Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specifications to prevent movement over time.
• Route and manage cables: Before loading equipment, plan cable runs for power, data, and AV lines. Use clean, orderly pathways to the rear access panel, maintaining separation where necessary to comply with safety and electromagnetic compatibility guidelines. Consider adding cable management accessories if required to maintain a tidy presentation and robust airflow.
• Load equipment and finalize access: Install racks, shelves, or mount adapters as appropriate for your gear. Use the Split Door Back Pan to organize and secure cables behind the front panel, then verify door operation and rear-access functionality. Perform a final check to ensure that all equipment is mounted securely and that there is no interference with the door mechanism or with cable routing.
