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).
