5 STEP GUIDE FOR EASY INSTALLATION OF AN IN-WALL SYSTEM
Installing an enclosure in-wall provides an enhanced appearance and occupies minimal space. The guidelines below show the basic steps for preparing to install an in-wall rack. For specific millwork dimensions, consult the appropriate A&E Specification Sheet, located at middleatlantic.com.
1. Cut rough opening one stud width from to in-wall stud
2. Cut interfering stud
✓ Refer to appropriate A&E Spec for required rough-in dimensions ✓ Ensure that rough-in opening is cut square ✓ When cutting flush opening, use one existing stud
✓ Remove interfering segment of stud when needed
HOT TIP! Frame outside of opening with matching jamb, casing or trim to cover rough drywall edge. To ensure proper opening size, take the width of the jamb, casing or trim into account.
Important Note: Please consult with an architect or engineer before beginning to determine if the wall is load bearing. Load bearing walls may require specific bracing to ensure that all work is structurally sound. Installer is responsible for conformance to local building standards.

3. Install supports
rear view
4. Build platform
✓ Brace opening with a new stud and supports connecting the sides at the top and bottom of the opening ✓ Ensure that studs are plumb
✓ Ensure that base is level ✓ Base must be built to hold weight of fully-loaded rack, and must be secured to the floor
HOT TIP! Frame outside of opening with matching jamb, casing or trim to cover rough drywall edge. To ensure proper opening size, take the width of the jamb, casing or trim into account.
Important Note: For SRSR, SRS, ASR-HD and ASR slide-out systems, the platform must hold the cantilevered weight of a fully-loaded rack in the extended position. The base must be secured to rear view the floor.

CABLE MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES
When care is given to the management and maintenance of cable entering the rack or enclosure system, the goals of providing customers with a neat, organized and effective system are easily attained. Having a system that is simple and quick to service and upgrade will additionally benefit both the installer and the customer. When care is given to planning the management of cable entering the rack or enclosure system and maintaining it neatly throughout that system, the goal of providing the end-user with a neat, organized, effective and reliable system is easily attained.
Methods of Bringing Cable Into Your Enclosure or Rack System Cable Entry: From Above Through Top of Rack Middle Atlantic Products enclosures come standard with wide-open tops for large cable bundles to enter the enclosures. Standard enclosure with MW-10FT top option shown – aluminum panel is removed to drop cable bundle into enclosure. Top can be replaced after cabinet has been cabled
Standard enclosure with wide-open top – cable is dropped in from above.
Cable Entry: From Below Through Bottom of Rack
The bottoms of Middle Atlantic Products enclosures are designed just as the tops with a wide-open set-up to accept large cable bundles. There is 75 mm of space in the bottom of the enclosure before reaching the rackspace area to allow for cable entry up into the enclosure. Each enclosure’s unique “upformed base” provides interior room for cable management and coiling unused wire.
Dressing Your Cable Internally Vertical Lacer Strips Vertical lacer strips are designed to mount to the rail brackets in all Middle Atlantic Products enclosures. Add as many lacer strips as necessary in order to bring the maximum amount of cable into the enclosure, as well as keeping power & signal separate. The vertical strips allow the installer to lace cable from the top to the bottom of the rack or vice-versa.
When to Use Hook and Loop Style Ties Hook and loop style cable fasteners like the TW12 should be used when installing cable that is sensitive to strain, when the wrap is so tight that it affects the performance,of the cable or when cable will be added to or removed from the bundle on a regular basis. These cable management straps can be opened and reused unlike wire ties.
TW12
LACE-P
LACE-44-1SP
Horizontal Lacer Bars Most of Middle Atlantic Products’ enclosures are furnished with a set of rear rackrail that can be used to mount the lacer bars at any height position. These lacer bars will address two common problems that occur: cable strain relief and running cables from one side of the rack to the other. Middle Atlantic Products offers different style lacer bars for different applications. Determine which lacer bar is appropriate for the application.
LACE-44LP LACE-37LP
Use lacer bars when running cables horizontally Use lacer bars as strain relief for connectors
Use LBP-LTF Horizontal Lacer Panel When
Use “L” Shape Offset LBP-2A, LBP-4A, LBP-6A Lacer Bar When
✓ Running large cable bundles horizontally ✓ Rear support for equipment is required ✓ More surface to mount wires is desired
✓ Positioning the lacer bar close to the rear of the unit for cable strain relief ✓ Managing multiple horizontal cable bundles at different depth positions
Use Round Shape LBP-1R Lacer Bar When
Use Round Shape Offset LBP-1.5, LBP-1R4 Lacer Bar When
✓ Running cable bundles vertically ✓ Running cable bundles horizontally that can be dressed then slid into position ✓ Using hook & loop fasteners ✓ Rear support for equipment is required
✓ Cable labels need to be seen (offset away from patch field or unit) ✓ Rear rail is set in one position and there are various equipment depths; allows placement of the lacer bar close to the rear of the unit for cable strain relief ✓ Managing multiple cable bundles horizontally at different depth positions ✓ Bend radius must be taken into consideration

THERMAL MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES
Maintaining the temperature inside racks and enclosures is critical to the proper functioning and survival of the circuits operating within. Most studies have shown that for every 5.5oC rise over 29.5oC, digital equipment life is reduced by approximately 40%. It is essential to ensure the heated air within the enclosure remains at a temperature of no more than 29.5oC to help protect the sensitive equipment mounted within. There are two approaches to securing an adequate internal enclosure temperature for the successful operation of the components enclosed: passive and active thermal management. Passive makes use of the ability of a properly configured system to ventilate through natural convection. In certain cases, however, the use of fans to force air through an enclosure (active) is necessary to maintain the desired internal temperature. Please refer to the nomograph located on the following page to determine whether your system will require passive or active thermal management. In addition to the proper configuration of your rack system, room design is critically important to the success of rack and enclosure thermal management. It is essential that not only does the equipment room have the ability to remove the heat generated by the racks, but also that racks are placed strategically within the room to ensure no re-circulation of air occurs.
Thermal Technique: Passive Thermal Management The passive approach to thermal management involves capitalizing on natural airflow. Adequate vent openings in the top and bottom portions of an enclosure, as well as an unimpeded airflow, and placing hotter equipment lower in the rack will enhance the natural flow of air, as heat naturally rises. There is a wrong and right way to approach passive thermal management: PROPER PASSIVE CONVECTION WITH FRONT-INTAKES ON EQUIPMENT

Thermal Technique: Active Thermal Management In many instances, equipment located within an enclosure will produce too much heat for passive thermal management (convection) to properly ventilate the enclosure. In this event, the use of forced air (fans) is instrumental to maintaining the optimal 29.5oC temperature recommended. Keys to the successful implementation of active thermal design include the use of top-mount fan(s) and no venting in the upper 6 rackspaces, upper sides, upper front or upper rear door, to prevent short-circuiting of air at the top of the rack. There is a wrong and right way to approach active thermal management: WRONG! FORCED AIR WITH FRONT-INTAKES ON EQUIPMENT FAN

DO: KEEP INLET AND EXHAUST AIR FAR APART. AVOID VENTED RACK PANELS IN UPPER 6 SPACES OF RACK
The key to successful active thermal management is ensuring there are no open vents at the top of the rack. The laws of static pressure dictate that fans will pull air from the easiest path (closest opening). This will create an undesirable recirculation of air, forming a stratification zone if upper vents are not blocked.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES How to Calculate Ventilation Required to Provide an Interior Rack Temperature of 29.5oC
To calculate total waste heat (column B): 1. Obtain total waste heat output by combining the published waste heat BTU/Hr. of all amplifiers in the rack. 2. Add up total measured amperage draw from all other equipment and multiply by 800 (total amperage x 800 = total BTU/Hr. @220v.) 3. Combine BTU/Hr. totals from steps 1 and 2 to obtain total for all equipment. Mark total in column B.
NOMOGRAPH Calculate ventilation required to provide an interior rack temperature of 29.5oC. A MINIMUM VENTILATION (ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) REQUIRED
* When voltage doubles, amperage draw is cut in half. To obtain minimum ventilation requirements: 1. Mark ambient room temperature in column C and connect points in B and C with a straight edge. 2. The minimum cooling required providing an interior rack temperature of 29.5oC will be shown on column A, where the straight edge intersects the minimum cooling requirements column.

In addition to the proper configuration of the rack system, room design is critically important to the success of rack and enclosure thermal management. It is essential that not only does the equipment room have the ability to remove the heat generated by the racks, but also that racks are placed strategically within the room to ensure no-recirculation of air occurs.
The best start for thermal management is during the planning stages of new construction, by coordinating with architectural plans, building contractors HVAC plans and millwork specialists. However, regardless of whether planning is for a new or retrofit installation, there are several effective methods for thermal management that depend greatly on where the residential electronics system is being installed. A common residential installation features a visible rack face when it is mounted in millwork or a cabinet For a complete guide to thermal management and controlling the temperature inside equipment racks, visit middleatlantic.com to download the Thermal Management White Paper.
Consideration to a rack’s internal airflow is equally important to ensure effective thermal management. Simulations and real-world testing show that moving air through a cabinet from bottom to top results in the lowest internal cabinet temperatures for equipment with front intakes.

Vent Blockers VBK Series Vent Blockers are used to promote active thermal management. Designed to prevent the re-circulation of hot air between top-mount fans and nearby vent openings, Vent Blockers should be placed over the enclosure’s vents located on the upper front of the enclosure, upper sides, and upper rear door (depending on enclosure). This will ensure that heated enclosure air will be forced out through the top-mounted exhaust fans instead of re-circulating, keeping equipment cool.

GLOSSARY Definition
A & E Spec:
An A & E Spec, or Architect’s and Engineer’s Specification Sheet, is a document that contains all of the information, including dimensions, materials, and weight capacities, in the format needed when specifying products. Our Architect’s and Engineer’s Specification Sheets are available on our website at middleatlantic.com, on our catalog CD, or in printed form upon request.
Anodize:
A finishing process used on aluminum. This process, when used on our products, includes ‘brushing’ to give an aesthetically-pleasing grained finish.
Bonding:
The permanent joining of metallic parts, likely to be energized, forming an electrically conductive path to a grounded conductor.
E-coat:
An electroplating process that, when used on our rackrail, guarantees that the threads do not become clogged.
EIA Compliant:
EIA is the ‘Electronic Industries Alliance’. ‘EIA compliant’ states that the rack and accessories conform to the 310-D standards regarding the rackrail, panel sizes, dimensions, etc.
Ganging:
When two or more racks are connected together, side-by-side. This is done in installations when multiple racks are permanently installed, facilitating cabling between racks. Also referred to as a multi-bay installation.
Grounding:
The intentional connection of electrical equipment to a grounded conductor for safety.
Isolated Ground:
Type of ground that segregates the technical equipment ground from the local building safety ground, to reduce electrical noise from entering audio/video equipment.
KD:
KD is short for knock-down, signifies a product ships flat-packed and unassembled.
KO:
KO is short for ‘Knockout’, and applies to the knockouts that have been provided in most of our racks for electrical connections, and also for UHF/VHF antennas. One type of knockout consists of punched indentations in equipment cabinets, which can be easily knocked out using a screwdriver or other similar tool to create one of two different sized openings for running low-voltage cable, electrical conduit, connectors, etc. Another type of knockout is produced by a laser and produces smooth edges that are friendly to cables and contractors.
Powder Coat:
Powder coat is an epoxy based finish that is applied electrostatically and then baked to cure the finish. Powder coating is an environmentally friendly process that does not release any harsh chemicals into the water or air. Powder coat is scratch-resistant and protects the materials from corrosion.
GLOSSARY
TERM
Rackspace A rackspace is a 44 mm vertical increment based on EIA/TIA standards and is how all 19" wide rackmount components (Rack unit, RU, space): are measured in terms of height. It is the only measure common to the metric and English systems. Applies also to 584 mm mounting widths. RackTools®:
RackTools® is a free layout and specification software package produced by Middle Atlantic Products. Containing our complete product line, RackTools™ is user-friendly and does not require any third party software to generate drawings, purchase orders and quotes quickly and easily. Please visit racktools.com for more information and to download your copy.
Stand-Alone:
Racks modules that are used alone, i.e. ERK Series stand-alone enclosures.
TIA Compliant:
TIA is the ‘Telecommunications Industry Association’. TIA compliant states that the rack and accessories conform to standards regarding the rackrail, panel sizes, dimensions, etc.
Useable Depth:
On racks the useable depth is based on the maximum front to rear rail depth, with the exception of wall racks, where the open space in the backpan is considered part of the useable depth. On a rackshelf, the useable depth is the maximum depth of the component that can fit on the shelf.
