1.4 Installation Guidelines
The following installation assumes that site survey and installation planning (including power requirements) have been
completed. This includes planning the distribution of antennas to provide the required coverage, as well as planning the layout
of the devices and cables in the telecom closet or shaft.
1.4.1 Rack Mount Procedure
These guidelines are relevant to the system components which are installed in 19-in communication racks:
• RF Path components: HEU, OIU and ICU
• Digital Coverage components: CEU
1.4.1.1 General Instructions
Verify that the rack height can support all the units to be installed, where you may also want to consider future installations. The
figure below illustrates the recommended physical location of the headend elements in the rack, so as to facilitate and simplify
the cabling connections.
NOTE: The configuration is for a single operator. If the site is serviced by more than one operator, each operator often installs
their equipment in a separate rack.
