Frequently Asked Questions - NS1D12F Chief

How do I install the NS1D12F door on an S1 rack?

First, remove the four screws from the top and bottom front of the rack. Then, attach the top and bottom door supports (C and D) using those screws. Rotate the spring handles on the door, align them with the support holes, and push to latch. Finally, install the door catch (B) on the rack rail with the provided screws and lock nuts.

Can I mount the door with the handle on the right side?

Yes. If you want the pulling handle on the right, you must remove the two nuts and the grounding wire from the door and reinstall them on the opposite end (left). The grounding wire must be at the bottom of the installed door.

What is the purpose of the grounding wire?

The grounding wire is required for safety to prevent electrical shock. It must be connected to the rack's grounding lug using a UL Recognized 12 AWG green/yellow wire. Improper wiring can lead to death or severe injury.

What tools do I need to install this door?

You will need a 7/16" open-end wrench and a Phillips screwdriver.

Is the NS1D12F compatible with all S1 rack sizes?

The manual indicates it is designed for S1 racks. The model number includes sizes (e.g., NS1D12-20-28-36-41) suggesting compatibility with various rack heights. Refer to the manual for specific rack compatibility.

What is the difference between NS1D12F, NS1D12S, and NS1D12P?

The NS1D12F has a perforated front for airflow, NS1D12S has a solid front for privacy/noise reduction, and NS1D12P has a plexiglass window for visibility.

Can I install side panels before the door?

No. The manual states that if installing both doors and side panels, the doors must be installed first.

How do I clean the door?

Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the perforated surface.

Are replacement parts available?

Yes, individual parts such as the door, door catch, and supports are available. Contact Milestone AV Technologies for spare parts.
