Figure 16. Wall Mounting
Approved wall

template. Two of the holes are 16” apart on centers, to fa
cilitate mounting on standard walls with studs 16” apart on
centers. The vertical distance between the hole centers in
the installed top and bottom mounting brackets (when at
tached to the cabinet) is 39”. Westell recommends a
minimum of 3 mounting bolts in each mounting bracket.
In addition to allowing for a comfortable installer working
height (leave about 30” under the cabinet), leave adequate
space under Boxer‐16 for cable access, as stated in Para
graph 3.3, as well as in front of the mounting to allow the
door to open and at the sides in the event of any multiple
installations. With a marking utensil, mark the top mount
ing holes to be drilled, in a level horizontal line, at the
desired wall height.
5.
Drill top mounting holes.
Drill appropriately‐sized pilot
holes, slightly smaller than the width and depth of the
mounting bolts, screws or fasteners, at the marked loca
tions.
Do not drill the holes too large.
6.
Partially install bolts.
Partially install the bolts until only
1/2” remains.
7.
Lift cabinet, and align mounting holes.
Lift the cabinet to
the protruding bolts, align the top mounting bracket's key
holes with the bolts, then hang the cabinet from the bolts.
If using lift equipment, use two cables or straps of equal
length, one connected to each lift ear, for a balanced sym
metrical lift. The lift ears are provided at the top of the
cabinet, one at each side wall, and each lift ear has a 2” hole
in it.
8.
Fully install the top mounting bolts.
Verify the cabinet is
level. Finish driving the top mounting bolts until they are
snug and the cabinet is flush and tight against the wall.
Manually test the bolt tightness to verify the bolts will sup
port the cabinet weight before the next step. Correct any
level or mounting bolt discrepancies.
9.
Drill bottom mounting holes.
Drill appropriately‐sized pi
lot holes, slightly smaller than the width and depth of the
bolts, for the lower mounting bracket. Use a minimum of
three bolts.
Do not drill the holes too large.
10.
Install bottom mounting bolts.
Insert and drive all bottom
bolts completely in to their final seated position. Finish
the installation by verifying all bolts are firm and snug.
11.
Determine next step, or close up cabinet and clean the site.
Repeat Steps 6‐8 of Paragraph 3.6.1 to determine the next
step or finish the physical cabinet installation.
3.6.3
Mounting on a Pole or Post
Order the optional A90‐BXA‐PM02 pole mount kit (shown in
Figure 17 and listed in Table 4) for details and instructions on
pole‐mounting the Boxer‐16 cabinet. See Figure 18 for a brief
pole installation procedure.
3.6.4
Mounting on a Concrete Pad
The Boxer‐16 cabinet can be mounted on a concrete pad, typi
cally with an optional Boxer battery box or skirt. To facilitate the
concrete anchor bolt placement, order and use the optional
A90‐BXA19‐PT1 pad mount kit (listed in Table 4) for details on
pad‐mounting the Boxer‐16 cabinet.
‐ NOTE ‐
Always follow local safety precautions and standard operating
procedures for grounding the equipment when installing, up
grading, repairing or maintaining equipment. Any instructions or
information contained herein is subordinate to local codes, oper
ating procedures or practices.
3.7
Making Ground Connections
Eight sets of bond/ground posts, a ground lug, and an ESD jack
are provided on a ground plate on the interior floor of the cabi
net (see Figure 19). The posts are provided to bond both
network and customer equipment or communications cables.
An external earth ground rod or wire (#6 AWG) must enter the
cabinet and be connected to the ground lug located on the interi
or ground plate.
Make all ground connections prior to any
telecommunications cable connections.
Ground lug hardware
should be tightened to 20 inch‐pounds.
1.
Locate or establish an external earth ground.
Find or
create an external and appropriate earth ground, per com
pany practice and local codes.
2.
Remove a knock‐out for the earth ground wire.
Per compa
ny practice, determine which cabinet knock‐out hole
location should be used for earth ground wire entrance (a
small forward knock‐out is recommended). If not already
removed, remove the selected knock‐out.
3.
Install a rubber grommet or liquid‐tight fitting.
Install ei
ther conduit and an appropriate and liquid‐tight fitting or
a rubber grommet in the knock‐out hole.
4.
Route ground wire through knock‐out hole.
Run the ap
proved ground wire through the grommet or conduit to
the ground lug.
5.
Connect earth ground wire.
Connect the earth ground
wire to the #6 AWG ground lug on the ground plate, per
company practice.
6.
Seal the earth ground entrance hole.
Depending on the
type of fitting or grommet used, it may be necessary to seal
the ground wire entrance hole, as stated in the note below.
