How to Install Middle Atlantic Riser Base

Installing the Middle Atlantic Riser Base is a straightforward process that helps you prepare a reliable foundation for your BGR racks. Follow these general guidelines to maximize stability and cable-management efficiency during rough-in:

• Verify compatibility: Confirm that your rack configuration uses BGR racks and that the space accommodates a 32" deep base with a 2-1/2" rise. Ensure the floor area is level to prevent wobble over time.
• Prepare the layout: Clear the installation area and plan cable routing paths before placing the base. Decide whether cables will pass under the base from back to front or vice versa to minimize bends and friction.
• Position the base: Place the riser base in the intended location, aligning it with the rack’s footprint. Maintain a level orientation to prevent uneven load distribution.
• Secure the base: Use the manufacturer’s recommended fasteners or hardware to anchor the base securely to the floor or podium surface as required by your installation guidelines. Tighten bolts to the specified torque to avoid over-tightening or under-tightening.
• Route cables and position rack: Thread cables underneath the rack area as planned, then position the rack onto the riser base. Ensure there is ample clearance for air flow and that cables are not pinched during rack installation.
• Final checks: Inspect for levelness, verify that all bays are properly aligned, and confirm that cables have smooth bends without sharp corners. Test movement and stability of the rack setup before loading equipment.

Note: Always refer to Middle Atlantic installation guides for specific fastener types and torque specifications. If you are integrating with other components or accessories, verify compatibility and any required adapters prior to installation to ensure optimal performance and warranty coverage.
