How to install Middle Atlantic Curved Door Plexi

• Power down and unplug equipment inside the enclosure, then remove any existing front door or panel if required to accommodate the curved Plexi door.
• Inspect the enclosure to confirm compatibility with a 38U configuration and verify the 69.5" height and 21.9" width dimensions align with your cabinet.
• Align the curved Plexi door with the hinge mounting points on the enclosure’s frame. Ensure the top and bottom hinges sit squarely within the mounting brackets to prevent binding.
• Insert and tighten the door-hinge fasteners using the included hardware. Apply even torque to avoid misalignment and to preserve smooth operation over time.
• Test the door: open and close several times to confirm a clean swing, unimpeded clearance for cables, and secure latching behavior. If the door feels tight, recheck alignment and adjust mounting screws as necessary.
• Route cables neatly inside the enclosure to minimize obstruction near the door edge, allowing full range of motion when opening or closing without undue pressure on cables.
• Perform a basic airflow check after installation to ensure that the curved design does not impede front-to-back ventilation and that intake vents remain unobstructed.
• Label the door as needed for facility standards and verify that indicators on the front panels remain visible through the Plexiglas window.
