Middle Atlantic DWR Series 35RU Pivoting Wall Mounted Rack – 22" Depth

The Middle Atlantic DWR Series Pivoting Wall Mounted Rack delivers a bold combination of capacity, accessibility, and flexible installation that professionals demand in high-demand AV, IT, and rack-mounted environments. Engineered for maximum mounting capability both on and off the rail, this 35RU, 22-inch-deep wall rack is built to streamline complex gear deployments while preserving a tidy, organized cabinet ecosystem. The forward rack rail introduces a new level of efficiency, enabling faster, tool-free configurations that reduce install times and physical strain for technicians. Whether you’re consolidating servers, patch panels, switches, or audio-visual equipment, the DWR rack is designed to handle dense equipment stacks with reliability, ease of access, and room for future expansion. Its rugged construction, thoughtful cable management, and compatibility with a broad range of 19-inch equipment make it an ideal solution for studios, control rooms, data centers, and compact deployment spaces where depth and usability matter most.

• High-density 35RU capacity with a generous 22-inch depth provides ample space for full-size racks, dense patch panels, switch gear, and audio/visual components. The expansive footprint supports not only current gear but also future upgrades, allowing you to consolidate equipment without sacrificing airflow or serviceability.
• Pivoting wall mount design for unmatched access—the DWR Series pivots smoothly, giving technicians easy front and rear access to ports, cables, and rear connections without wrestling gear out of a cabinet. This pivot action simplifies maintenance, diagnostics, and reconfigurations in tight spaces where traditional wall racks struggle to reach components comfortably.
• Forward rack rail and lever-lock compatibility deliver faster, tool-free installs and secure, reliable mounting. The forward rail system simplifies device insertion and removal, while lever-lock functionality ensures gear remains firmly seated during operation, reducing vibration and accidental disconnections in active environments.
• Tool-free accessories for rapid customization—the DWR features a suite of tool-free accessories that accelerate common tasks like cable management, component mounting, and modular add-ons. This capability translates to real-world time savings on busy project days and minimizes the need for specialized tools on-site.
• Robust, field-ready construction with standard 19" compatibility—engineered to hold a broad array of standard 19-inch equipment, the rack’s steel frame and quality finish resist wear from frequent use and environmental factors. The forward rail and off-rail mounting options provide flexibility for hybrid deployments, ensuring you can adapt as project scopes evolve.

How to install Middle Atlantic DWR Series 35RU Pivoting Wall Mounted Rack

• Choose a suitable wall location with solid structural support, ideally attaching to wall studs to maximize load-bearing capacity. Plan cable routes to minimize interference with the pivot mechanism and ensure clear access when the rack is opened.
• Unpack the DWR rack and verify you have all mounting brackets, hardware, and the forward rail assembly. Inspect for any shipping damage before installation begins.
• Mark the stud locations and attach the wall-mount brackets securely using appropriate fasteners rated for your wall type. Use a level to ensure the rack will pivot evenly and align with floor or adjacent structures to avoid unwanted contact during operation.
• Attach the forward rack rail and lever-lock elements according to the manufacturer’s guidance. The forward rail design enables tool-free insertion and removal of equipment; ensure these components are seated firmly and that the lever locks engage with objective tension to prevent gear shift during use.
• Install and arrange your equipment in the rack, starting with heavier items toward the bottom for stability. Use the supplied tool-free accessories to manage cables, secure patch panels, and create organized cable paths. Check clearances around the pivot point to ensure full motion without obstruction.
• Close and test the pivoting action to confirm smooth operation. Verify all connections, verify that equipment sits securely, and perform a brief power-on test to authenticate that gear is functioning correctly after mounting. Periodically inspect fasteners and cable management as part of routine maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What equipment can be mounted in the DWR Series 35RU Pivoting Wall Mounted Rack?
A: The rack is designed to accommodate standard 19-inch equipment, including servers, network switches, patch panels, audio/visual gear, and other modular components. Its 35U capacity provides ample space for a compact yet scalable deployment.

Q: How deep is the rack and why does depth matter?
A: The rack has a 22-inch (559 mm) depth, which supports deeper equipment footprints and ensures adequate rear clearance for cabling and airflow. Depth is crucial for compatibility with enclosures, heat dissipation, and avoiding interference with adjacent racks or walls.

Q: What are the advantages of the forward rail and lever-lock system?
A: The forward rail enables faster, tool-free installation and removal of gear, while lever-locks provide a secure hold on mounted components. Together, they reduce install time, improve serviceability, and help maintain a stable configuration in environments with routine equipment changes.

Q: Can I install this rack off the rail as well as on the rail?
A: Yes. The DWR Series is designed to maximize mounting capacity both on and off the rail, giving you flexible installation options depending on your gear mix and space constraints.

Q: Is professional installation required?
A: While the rack is designed for straightforward installation, professional installation is recommended to ensure the rack is securely mounted to structural studs, properly balanced, and optimized for safety and performance in high-demand settings.
