In addition, when planning the installation, be sure to take into account spare hardware storage,
modems, terminals, printers, cross connect panels, and all other items that might require space in
a system.
Floor Loading
Tekelec products installed in heavy-duty frames are designed for installation on raised or solid
floors, which are recommended to have a distributed load capacity of no less than 100 pounds
per square foot (504 kg/m2). Following are the maximum weights of Tekelec frames:
Maximum weight of EAGLE 5 ISS Control or Extension frames: 850 lbs (386 kg).
Maximum weight of a two T1100 server frame (for example, the MPS frame), including AC
and DC LSMS frames: 600 lbs (273 kg).
Maximum weight of the EOAP frame: 450 lbs (205 kg).
Maximum weight of an application frame with up to six T1100 servers: 925 lbs (421 kg).
Use the following equation to calculate the floor loading:
Distributed floor capacity = Total equipment weight/floor area

Grounding and Power Requirements

Before installing a T1100 AS hardware system, refer to the application documentation to determine
whether it is to be installed in an Alternating Current (AC) or Direct Current (DC) environment.
Then, ensure that the grounding and power requirements in the appropriate following sections
have been met.
