Description, Installation, and Maintenance
Preparing the sites
When preparing a site, you must address environmental, structural, and
electrical factors. These factors must be considered for the entire system, that
is, Meridian 1 and MCR sites. This information is available in:
•
Installation Planning (553-3001-120)
•
System Engineering (553-3001-151)
•
Power Engineering (553-3001-152)
To prepare the system for MCR installation, you must first install and verify
the operation of Meridian 1, without linking Meridian 1 to the MCR sites.
Refer to System Installation Procedures (553-3001-210).
Unpacking and inspection
Unpack and inspect the equipment for damage. When unpacking, follow
general precautions recommended by computer and telephone equipment
manufacturers:
•
Remove items that generate static charge from the installation site.
•
Use antistatic spray if the site is carpeted.
•
Ground yourself using a wrist strap and an antistatic mat before handling
any equipment.
•
Remove equipment carefully from its packaging.
•
Visually inspect the equipment for obvious faults or damage. Any
damaged component must be reported to your sales representative and
the carrier who delivered the equipment.
•
Hold the plug-in cards by their nonconductor edges and keep them in
their antistatic bags until you are ready to install them.
•
Do not stack the plug-in cards on top of each other.
Taking inventory
After the equipment has been unpacked and visually inspected, verify that all
the equipment is at the site before the installation begins. Refer to Table 5,
“Mini-Carrier Remote-unique hardware list,” . Check equipment received
against the shipping documents. Note any shortages and report them to your
sales representative.
