Step 1: Prior to Cabinet Installation

Important! When wiring optical fiber cable for the RRCU (remote cabinet), make sure the cable bends at >1.18 inches (30mm) radius.

Step 1A: Assemble Rack

Follow the rack manufacturer’s safety instructions when assembling the rack. The rack must be secured to the floor.

CAUTION! Never move a rack by yourself. Due to the weight and height of the rack, at least two people should perform the task.

WARNING! Before installation of the cabinets, make sure that the rack is both level and stable.

Step 1B: Move Flange Position (Optional)

The unit ships with the flange in the front position but it can be moved to a center position (shown below).

Step 2: Install First Cabinet

WARNING! To prevent bodily injury when installing or maintaining these cabinet(s):

Because of the weight of the cabinet(s), it is recommended that two people load the rack from the bottom up.

If the rack has stabilizing devices, make sure to install them before installing or servicing the rack mount cabinets.

Do not step or stand on any cabinet when servicing other cabinets in the rack.

It is recommended you start mounting the bottom cabinet first and then mount the remaining cabinets above the bottom cabinet. The base cabinet can be either the top or bottom cabinet.

You need to plan for any future cabinet additions when you mount the initial configuration. If cabinets will be added in the future they can be added above or below the mounted cabinets.

The following procedures cover both top-down and bottom-up installation.
