General Equipment Inspection and Inventory Recommendations
Motorola recommends that an inventory of all equipment is taken with a Motorola
representative to ensure that the order is complete. Carefully inspect all equipment and
accessories to verify they are in good condition. Promptly report any damaged or missing items
to a Motorola representative.
WARNING
Do not tamper with factory configuration settings for these devices.
This includes software configuration, firmware release, password, and
physical connections. Motorola has configured and connected these
devices to meet very specific performance requirements. Tampering
with these devices may result in unpredictable system performance or
catastrophic failure.
General Placement and Spacing Recommendations
The following are recommendations for placing equipment at a site:
•
Place each rack on a firm, level, and stable surface and bolt the racks together.
•
Use correct mounting hardware and shims to prevent rack movement.
•
Use strain relief when installing and positioning cables and cords to help ensure that no
interruption of service occurs.
•
Provide an appropriate amount of space around all components to allow for proper air
flow, cooling, and safe access to equipment.
•
Locate the site racks and other equipment with enough spacing to allow access for service.

Proper spacing of equipment is essential for ease of maintenance, and safety of
personnel. Spacing requirements have been established to meet the National Fire
Protection Associations (NFPA) Code, and the American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards. Also adhere
to any local regulations that apply to the installation.
•
Locate the system in an area that is free of dust, smoke, and electrostatic discharge (ESD).
•
See the Motorola R56 manual
Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites
for
details on these space requirements.
General Cabinet Bracing Recommendations
Use all supplied bracing hardware when installing a rack or cabinet and secure all equipment
within a rack or cabinet.
