How to install Middle Atlantic SPN Series 45RU Side Panel

Installing the BSPN-45-32 side panels on your BGR rack is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and preserve the integrity of your equipment. Follow these guidelines to ensure a secure, clean fit that supports optimal airflow and service access:

• Prepare your workspace: Power down equipment, unplug devices as needed, and clear the area around the rack to provide unobstructed access to the sides where the panels will mount.
• Verify rack compatibility: Confirm that your rack is a gangable 45RU, 32-inch deep BGR Series rack, as these panels are specifically designed for that configuration.
• Position the panel set: Align each side panel with the corresponding side of the rack, ensuring that the handles are oriented for convenient removal from the front or back as required by your workflow.
• Attach using appropriate hardware: Use the rack-mounting hardware you already employ for your BGR rack. Secure the panels to the rack’s vertical members or existing mounting rails, taking care to avoid overtightening which could distort the panel or rails.
• Test fit and function: After mounting, check that the panels sit flush against the frame, doors open freely if applicable, and that there is no interference with cables, power strips, or rear access. Reconnect and power up devices to verify proper operation and clearance.
