How to Use this Document
This document consists of a number of parts. Each part is designed to help
you install a particular type of equipment or to perform a specific installation
task. Figures are provided with the step-by-step procedures.
A Summary of System Installation
The system is easily installed. The system cabinets are shipped fully
assembled with all necessary components built in, except for the modular
shared resource units (SRUs). Cable connections are fully connectorized or
can be connectorized in the field at the customer's option.
Installation involves unpacking and positioning the cabinets, then
interconnecting and leveling them. The SRUs are then inserted into their
preassigned positions. Finally, the various cabling connections are made.
Most cabling connections are made to a standardized office cross-connect
panel. It is assumed that the panel has been ordered and installed prior to
system installation day. If not, ensure that it is installed according to Part 7.
(Further pre-installation wiring instructions are available in NTP
555-3001-215, which can be ordered with the office cross-connect panel or
separately.)
The pre-installation wiring contractor should have already made all wiring
changes and additions, including jumpering between the cross-connect panel
and the main distribution frame.
Some equipment, such as modem pools, may require special installation
procedures. In such cases, refer to the manufacturer's documentation for
special instructions. Also, there may be special environmental, electrical, or
space requirements for equipment not supplied by Northern Telecom. Again,
refer to the manufacturer's documentation for details.
The installation process follows this sequence, of which each step is detailed
in a subsequent part of this installation guide:

Prepare the floor area for the cabinets.
Unpack the cabinets and position them in the designated area.
Line up the cabinets, leveling and interconnecting them.
Unpack and install the SRUs in their assigned positions according to the
cabinet provisioning worksheet in the Site Records, 450-1011-152.
Make cable connections as outlined in the wiring logs in the Site
Records, 450-1011-152. This worksheet is located in the section titled
'Wiring Log'. If applicable to your system, install the Alarm Interface
Unit (per Part 15), connectorize cables for nonstandard cable lengths
(per Part 16), and install the -48 V power system (per Part 17).
