How to install On-Q VWM-PIV-4RU Mounting Rail Kit for Patch Panel

• Identify the frame size (4RU or 8RU) and prepare a clean, secure mounting area on the wall or inside the cabinet where vertical mounting is desired.
• Position the VWM-PIV-4RU rails so the pivoting mechanism aligns with the intended patch panel, ensuring that any rear connections will be accessible when the rails are pivoted open.
• Attach the rails to the frame or wall using standard mounting hardware compatible with the rails (10-32 screws or the appropriate cage nuts for alternate thread sizes). Ensure both rails are level and securely fastened to support the weight of the patch panel.
• If using alternate thread sizes, install cage nuts as needed and reverse the rails according to the installation environment, then re-check alignment and firmness of all connections.
• Slide the patch panel onto the rails, align the mounting holes, and secure it with the appropriate hardware. Use the pivot function to access front and rear panels during termination and testing, then lock the rails in the closed position once cabling is complete.
