Chapter 4: Hardware Installation
Chapter 4
Hardware Installation
MTS hardware installation includes mounting the equipment, installing cables, and establishing
connections for the input power, antennas, and site link interfaces.
4.1
Installation Overview
The MTS cabinets can be mounted in two ways:
•
Directly to the floor using the mounting brackets
•
Using the mounting plate
MTS LiTE, MTS 2, MTS 4, and the Expansion Cabinet all have four mounting holes for leveling feet.
However, the position of the holes is not identical for the cabinets due to the stability of the different
size cabinets.
For maintenance procedures, use the front access. To connect the external service, use the top
access.
Perform the MTS installation procedures according to the techniques described in the Motorola
Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites, R56 manual.
NOTICE: In an MTS site, the term cabinet is a generic term referring to Fixed Network
Equipment (FNE) mounted in different types of frames. It does not refer in any way to building
electrical cabinets, outdoor utility cabinets, or some types of equipment shelters commonly
known as cabinets.
4.1.1
Installation Personnel
MTS site installation typically requires the following personnel:
•
Installation supervisor.
•
Minimum of two installers per MTS site. Two installers can include the supervisor, provided there
are a minimum of two persons on each MTS site at all times.
•
A commissioning engineer to attend only during the commissioning stage.
4.1.2
Receiving the MTS Equipment
After receiving the MTS equipment, inspect it as soon as all the equipment is unpacked.
CAUTION: To prevent electrostatic damage, observe guidelines for a safe handling of
electrostatic sensitive devices.
Prerequisites: Before unpacking the equipment, check if no obvious damage has occurred to the
shipping containers. If you notice such damage, contact the shipping agent and ask that a
representative of their company is present while the equipment is unpacked. Then inform your
Motorola Solutions representative.
Procedure:
