4 Installation
Following all construction work, both exterior and interior, the site and facility
shall be in a suitable condition for the installation of communications equipment.
In general, the following considerations need to be observed:
• Interior of facility shall be free of excessive dust.
• All refuse related to the installation tasks shall be removed.
Consideration should be exercised when laying out a site to allow primarily for all
code requirements for spacing, and then the most efficient use of space. Special
attention shall be given to future expansion with regard to cable runway heights,
electrical outlet
placement, and equipment placement.
The procedures described in this chapter assume the field technician or installer
has knowledge of the installation techniques contained in the Quality Standards
Fixed Network Equipment - Installation Manual (R56).
Prior to performing the installation procedures, prepare the site with all
associated antennas, phone lines, and other related site equipment. This
information is covered in the Pre-Installation chapter. The main rack may already
be installed, depending on the site configuration.
4.1 Main Rack and Supporting Hardware
This section provides installation instructions for a cabinet already containing the
iDEN Interface, RadioFrame Networks NCU and ACU, and the Power Plant. The
procedure listed here is for permanently mounting the equipment cabinet within a
site.
The following procedures describe how to mount non-wheeled cabinets in a
system site building. Be sure to read all of the procedures carefully to ensure a
quality installation.
4.1.1 Main Rack
The main rack must be secured to the floor for optimum stability. Since the main
rack is very heavy, this procedure is written so that the rack is moved only once.
Warning!
Always use two or more persons whenever moving a cabinet. A fully
configured equipment cabinet weighs approximately 800 lbs (360 kg).
