Generic Site Requirements
The following specifications are standard telephony industry requirements for equipment installation.
Building Requirements
The building requirements for this system are standard telephony industry requirements for equipment
installation.
The building must provide a clear, uncluttered route between the loading/receiving dock and the
planned system location. In order to move the equipment to the proper location, recommended hall
clearance is at least 4.5 feet (1.4 meters) wide by 8.5 feet (2.6 meters) tall.
Four foot, (1.2 meter) side aisles should be used to allow maneuvering frames into place and provide
ample work space around the equipment.
The room selected for system installation should be large enough so the system frames can be at least
2.5 feet (76 cm) from the walls for front and rear access and at least 12 inches (31 cm) for side access.
Earthquake Resistance
All Tekelec system configurations are designed to assure that the system remains operational during
and after an earthquake, even when the system is located on the upper floors of a zone 4 central office.
Elevation
Operating: 60 m below sea level at ambient temperature of 30° C to +4000 m above sea level at ambient
temperature of 40° C.
Fire Protection
Local fire protection codes must be satisfied in the equipment room where the system is to be located.
Floor Loading
It is recommended the floor or raised sub-flooring have a distributed load capacity of no less than 100
pounds per square foot (453 kg/m2). The floor loading is determined by using the following equation:
Total equipment weight/floor area = distributed floor capacity.
HVAC Requirements
To maintain the required temperature range, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
equipment should have the capacity to compensate for the site engineering recommendations.
