Inspect exterior surfaces
Items to check outside the cabinet include the following:
Inspect the exterior of the cabinet for signs of damage to the metal work or paint.
Repair damage to the paint using approved type touch-up paint after cleaning the surface
and removing rust.
Note damage to the metal work. If the damaged area interferes with operation of the
cabinet or electronics, contact Calix support for assistance with a resolution.
Clean all surfaces so that they are free of dirt, dust, and foreign material.
Remove all material from air intake screens and louvers (i.e. spider webs, leaves, etc.).
Clean the air vents on the heat exchangers and the battery compartment with a dry, soft
brush to ensure optimal airflow.
Checking Cable Connections
Check external cable connections at least once a year. External cables are any cable that
enters the cabinet from the outside plant.
Visually inspect all cables for signs of physical damage. If damage is present, cables
should be repaired or replaced per local practice.
Check all outside plant copper connections for complete and secure connection.
Ensure that all cable management accessories provide a clean appearance. Replace any
fastening devices (i.e. cable ties) so that they include all cables being secured.
Check all fiber optic connectors to ensure that they are securely fastened.
Check all connections on the cabinet ground bar for a tight and secure fit.
Check all protector modules to ensure that all devices are securely seated.
Check all conduits to ensure that any material used to seal between the cable and the
conduit is still present and providing a complete seal.
