Procedure Steps
Carefully mark the mounting holes with a pencil, as indicated on the appropriate cabinet or rack footprint.
1
2 Drill the marked mounting holes to the appropriate depth of the mounting hardware with a hammer drill and bit.
Insert an anchor into the drilled hole. If necessary, tap the anchor into place using a hammer.
3
4 For cabinets, remove the four screws securing the bottom kick panel to the front and back of the cabinet.
Remove the kick panel and set aside during installation.
Carefully move the cabinet or rack into the position indicated by the holes in the floor.
5
Equipment cabinets and racks are heavy and may tip. Use extreme caution when moving. Lift from
top eyenuts with appropriate apparatus or secure the cabinet or rack from tipping if lifting from
bottom. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury or equipment damage.
Adjust and level the cabinet or rack as necessary to position the cabinet mounting holes with the pre-drilled
6
holes.
7 Secure the cabinet or rack to the site floor with the locally procured mounting hardware.
If the cabinet or rack is to be secured to a concrete floor, 1/2-inch grade 8 bolts with anchors are
recommended.

3.3.6 General Bonding and Grounding Requirements

Cabinets and racks include a rack grounding bar (RGB) with the capacity to terminate numerous ground wires.
Equipment added to the cabinet or rack should be attached to the ground bar using solid or stranded 6 AWG
copper wire.
The RGB uses dual-hole lugs to terminate ground wires. The minimum number of dual-hole attachments is system
dependent and is specified by the customer. This bar provides electrical continuity between all bonds and ground
wire with a current carrying capacity equal to or exceeding that of a 6 AWG copper wire.
See the Motorola Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites manual for more information on proper
bonding and ground at a site.

3.3.7 General Cabling Requirements

Diagrams for cabling are typically included in the System-specific configuration documentation provided by
Motorola. Also see the Motorola Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites manual for cabling standards.
