Middle Atlantic C5-2731-62-UPKIT Rack Upright Kit for 27–31" Deep Enclosures
Overview
The C5-2731-62-UPKIT is a replacement or supplemental upright kit designed to fit Middle Atlantic C5-series rack enclosures with a depth in the 27–31 inch range. If you're configuring a C5 enclosure for a deeper equipment load — think full-depth servers, UPS units, or dense patch runs — this kit provides the structural uprights that establish the correct internal depth and mounting rail position. The model number C5-2731-62-UPKIT identifies the depth band (27–31") and rail height (62U equivalent spacing) this kit addresses, keeping your enclosure build matched to Middle Atlantic's factory specifications rather than improvised hardware.
Compatibility
This upright kit is designed for Middle Atlantic C5-series rack enclosures configured in the 27–31 inch depth range. Verify your enclosure's model designation and current depth configuration before ordering — Middle Atlantic's C5 line spans multiple depth options, and uprights are not interchangeable across depth bands. If your enclosure falls outside the 27–31" window, a different upright kit from the C5 family will be required. Consult the enclosure's build documentation to confirm the correct kit for your specific chassis.
Installation Notes
Upright kits of this type slot into the enclosure's base and top mounting channels and typically require no specialized tooling beyond standard rack-assembly hardware. Ensure the enclosure frame is on a stable, level surface before installing uprights to avoid racking (lateral distortion) that can misalign mounting holes. Confirm rail spacing aligns with the equipment you plan to mount — EIA-standard 19" rail spacing is standard on C5 builds, but depth adjustment affects front-to-rear equipment clearance. Do not exceed the enclosure's rated load capacity after upright installation.
