Placing The Fourth Module On A Column - Nortel Meridian 1 Manual

Placing the fourth module on a column

A four-module column is shipped in two segments. One shipping pallet
carries the pedestal and three modules. Another shipping pallet carries the
fourth module and top cap. Starting at the bottom of the column, modules are
numbered from zero to three in each column. Use this procedure to place the
fourth module (and top cap) on the column.
Never add a common equipment module in the third of the fourth tier
in an Meridian 1 column.
To add a module to a column that is already powered, see the procedures in
"Adding a module to a column" on page 361.
A fully loaded module weighs approximately 58.9 kg (130 lbs). More
than one person is required to place a module on a column.
1 Position and secure the fourth module:
• Locate the positioning guides on the third module (see Figure 10).
• Position the fourth module so it faces the same direction as the
column.
• Remove the front and rear module covers on the fourth module and
rear module cover on the third module.
• Place the fourth module on top of the column and adjust it until it is
seated securely on the positioning guides.
