Middle Atlantic FM-DS-6675FS-D8W Free-Standing Deskside Rack Frame
Overview
The Middle Atlantic FM-DS-6675FS-D8W is a free-standing deskside rack frame sized at 66 inches wide by 75 inches tall with a D8 depth panel configuration, finished in white. It is purpose-built for integrators who need an open-frame, floor-supported rack solution without a full enclosed cabinet — common in AV equipment rooms, security head-end closets, and structured wiring installations where airflow and front/rear access take priority over dust containment. The white finish suits environments where aesthetics matter, such as visible server rooms, broadcast facilities, or clean-room installations. The FM-DS-6675FS-D8W ships as a free-standing unit, meaning no wall anchoring is required for basic installation, though local seismic or tipping-hazard codes may require additional restraint in some jurisdictions.
Compatibility
This frame is designed for use within Middle Atlantic's FM (Free-Standing Mount) and DS (Deskside) product family. It accepts standard EIA-310 rack-mount equipment and is compatible with Middle Atlantic's panel accessories, blanking panels, cable management products, and power distribution units sized to the frame's interior width and depth. The D8 depth panel accommodates Middle Atlantic D8-series horizontal lacing panels and cable management accessories. Confirm interior usable rack unit (RU) count and rail spacing against your specific equipment before ordering — Middle Atlantic's 75H frames typically yield between 38U and 42U of usable space depending on top/bottom panel configuration, but verify against current Middle Atlantic documentation for this SKU.
Installation Notes
Free-standing installation requires a level floor surface. The white powder-coat finish is standard for this configuration — do not substitute painted field modifications, as this voids surface warranty. Verify doorway and aisle clearance before delivery: at 66 inches wide, this frame exceeds standard 36-inch door openings and will require double-door or freight access. Leveling feet or casters (sold separately) are typically required for final positioning on finished floors.
