For every hand, the dead wall always starts with the very same arrangement.  The [[kan]] draws are always the four tiles clockwise to the dora indicator.  These are the '''rinshanpai''' {{kana|嶺上牌}}, which are only accessible via [[naki|calls]] for kan.  Not necessary but recommended, the first kan draw can be placed to the side of the second kan draw, like in the image to the right.  This is to prevent accidental revealing of that first tile, in case it gets knocked off.

For every kan call, a player gains access to the dead wall and draws one rinshanpai.  If the rinshanpai produces a winning tile. then this draw invokes the yaku, [[rinshan kaihou]].  Under most cases, players make a discard afterwards.  After that discard, one tile from the end of the regular wall is added to the dead wall to the back end.  These tiles are the [[haiteihai]].  This is to retain the count of 14-tiles.  Unlike the original dead wall tiles, the added tiles can serve no function, other than as replacement tiles.

The dead wall is always responsible for indicating the dora.  Ten of the fourteen original dead wall tiles are used to indicate dora.  The first one is always revealed at the start of the hand.  This tile is assigned as the '''dorahyouji''' {{kana|ドラ表示}}, or "dora indicator".  It is always the third tile on the top row from the initial wall break.  Tiles marked as dora are indicated as the next tile in the sequence, as noted in the "[[Dora#Dora order|dora order]]".  Additional dora may be revealed by calls for kan; and any tile underneath the revealed dora may be used in the event of winning riichi hands.  Rarely, all ten dora tiles are revealed for a single hand; but it is possible.

=== Haiteihai ==
{{main|Haiteihai}}
The tile immediately before the dead wall is called the '''haiteihai'' {{kana|海底牌}}.  When a kan is made, the current haiteihai will be moved into the dead wall and the tile before it will become the new haiteihai.
