Installation
Refer to Figure 4-1, for general information.
4.2.1
Tools and Equipment Required
Refer to Table 4-1. Equipment listed by brand name may be substituted with equivalent.
For installation, only common hand tools are necessary if at all, since installation is usually
completed at the factory.
4.2.2
Rack Positioning
Cooling and cabling restraints require that equipment pieces be racked so that there is
adequate ventilation for exhaust air. The front and back of the rack should have at least ten
inches of free space. The cabinet should be placed as close as possible to the transmitting
antenna, and to the primary power source as a secondary consideration. To gain reasonable
access to the back, 30 inches (75 cm) of free space should be allowed..
Caution
Never place the rack where moisture, steam,
condensation, or standing water, can come in
contact with it. The host room may need to be air
conditioned or additionally ventilated to remove
excess heat generated by this equipment.
4.2.3
Rack Grounding
The rack cabinet must be connected to a reliable earth ground. Connect the earth ground
point to the ground stud provided in the bottom of the cabinet; use four gauge or larger
copper conductor.
