SWING-OUT RACK
4
The Swing-Out Rack is a great tool that eases the tedious task of installing and maintaining your site
wiring. Because it has unique spring-loaded hinges and release pins, you can easily unlatch and
swing open the front part of the Rack frame in order to mount, dismount, and cable devices. And
yet the Rack is simple to assemble. It comes in three different heights: 38" (96 cm, our product
code RM069A), with 20 rack units of space, 24" (61 cm, our product code RM070A), with 12 rack
units of space, and 47" (119.4 cm, our product code RM080A), with 25 rack units of space.
Some of the Swing-Out Rack’s other useful features:
• Can open to the left or right.
• 18" (45.7 cm) deep to accomodate even large devices.
• Made of 12-gauge steel to support up to 100 lb. (45.5 kg).
• Holes tapped 12-24 front and rear.
• Hole spacing complies with EIA-310-D.
• Wide key-hole spacing and 16" stud-mounting centers
so that one person can wallmount the Rack.
2. Introduction
CHAPTER 3: Assembly
To assemble the Swing-Out Rack, you’ll need a 3/8" socket or wrench and a level or carpenter’s
square. Once you have these ready, take these steps:
1. Lay the vertical fixed frame members on the ground, parallel to each other (see Figure 3-1
below). Leave enough space between them for the moldings you’ll be attaching in the next
step (see Figure 3-2 below).
Figure 3-1. Laying out the fixed frame members.
2. Attach the side moldings by aligning their bolt holes with those on the vertical fixed frame
members (see Figure 3-2 below); the pin guides—the holes where the swing frame’s release
pins will go—should be facing each other. Place the eight included hex bolts—four per
molding—in the bolt holes and tighten them.
Figure 3-2. Attaching the moldings.

3. Attach the swing frame by inserting its bottom release pins into the corresponding pin guides
(see Figure 3-3 below). While pulling down on the top release pins, slide the swing frame into
position. Make sure the top pins are also properly inserted in their corresponding pin guides.
Figure 3-3. Attaching the swing frame.
That’s all there is to it: Your Swing-Out Rack is now fully assembled. If you need to wallmount
the Rack, you can do so (see Section 4.1); otherwise, the Rack is ready for equipment installation
and operation.

CHAPTER 4: Installation and Use
4.1 Wallmounting the Rack
To mount the Swing-Out Rack on a wall, you will need to drive bolts (not included) through the
four main holes in the back corners of the vertical fixed frame members, shown in Figure 4-1
below. The left and right holes are 16" (40.6 cm) apart, so the Rack can be mounted on a pair
of studs.

4.2 Cabling the Rack
When you mount electronic hardware in the Swing-Out Rack, leave enough slack in the cables
to let the rack swing open, as shown in Figure 4-2 below.
Figure 4-2. Cable slack for the swing mechanism (top view of Rack shown).
You can secure cables to the Rack’s integrated cable-management tie slots with nylon ties
or Velcro®style straps, as shown in Figure 4-3 below.

CHAPTER 4: Installation and Use
4.3 Opening the Rack
To open the Swing-Out Rack, first make sure that the Rack’s release pins are secured in their pin
guides. (If either pin on the side you aren’t opening isn’t secure, the Rack’s swing frame could
come off when you try to open it.) Using both hands, gently move the pair of quick-release levers
at the top and bottom of either side of the Rack—one of these levers is shown in Figure 4-4 below—
toward each other to unlatch the swing frame, then pull the frame open as shown in Figure 4-5
below.

4.4 Closing the Rack
To close the Swing-Out Rack, use both hands to gently press the Rack’s free release pins in (toward
each other), or move the pair of quick-release levers at the top and bottom of either side of the
Rack toward each other, and swing the front of the Rack closed until it touches the Rack’s stopper
(shown in Figure 4-6 below). Then let go of the levers or the release pins and make sure the pins
go into their matching pin guides.
