Seismic Zone Installation
All RadioFrame Networks equipment is seismically rated to withstand vibrations of a Level 4
earthquake. The property owner is responsible for any damage to RFN equipment due to building
or cabinet structures that are not rated to withstand vibrations of a Level 4 earthquake, or not
secured to withstand vibrations of a Zone 4 earthquake.
earthquake. The property owner is responsible for any damage to RFN equipment due to building
or cabinet structures that are not rated to withstand vibrations of a Level 4 earthquake, or not
secured to withstand vibrations of a Zone 4 earthquake.
Ensure that a certified architect specializing in earthquake-resistant installation provides seismic
designs and recommendations in areas where the potential loss of the site may outweigh
associated costs of earthquake-resistant design. PE stamped drawings shall be provided before
the installation proceeds.

Cooling of Equipment
Ensure that the location provides sufficient cooling for the MC-Series System cabinet. Refer to
section 2.5.8 Heat Load for BTUs generated by the MC-Series System.

3.1.6 Power
Ensure that a DC power source is available that can supply full power requirements for both the
MC-Series System cabinet and all ancillary equipment for the installation. This power source may
be a bulk DC power source, an internally mounted DC powerplant, or an external DC powerplant.
For internal or external DC powerplants, backup batteries may or may not be required, depending
on whether or not the powerplant is driven from a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Refer to
Nextel standards for DC power design.

3.1.7 Grounding
The MC-Series System cabinet must be grounded to either a defined equipment grounding
system in a Nextel facility or to the building grounding electrode in a customer facility. Plan to
install a grounding system for the MC-Series System cabinet and ancillary hardware. Refer to
Chapter 7 and Appendix C of Motorola R56, as modified by Nextel, for grounding standards. The
Master Ground Bar (MGB) will be installed on the wall on the telco board. Plan to use termination
lugs. Required crimp tool is CT-1700.
