Understanding indoor installation
For indoor installation, you can follow the outdoor installation process, but you must adhere to the following
requirements.
Loading
The building and floor must be able to support the load of the cabinet when fully populated with all optional
equipment. The loading is a function of the weight and the footprint dimensions.
• A fully populated cabinet weighs about 630 pounds.
• The footprint dimensions are: width: 30.5 inches; depth 39: inches.
Lifting - overhead space
There must be sufficient space above the cabinet to lift it into place. The cabinet is 59.5 inches in height.
Once the cabinet is disconnected from its shipping palette, it can only be moved by attaching a sling to the
lifting hooks on the top and using a crane (or other lifting device capable of handling the cabinet’s unloaded
weight of 500 pounds). There must be sufficient headroom above the cabinet to attach a sling and a crane
and then to lift the cabinet into place. The sling must allow five feet between the crane hook and the cabinet
top. See Placing the cabinet on the concrete pad
on page 58.
Earthquakes
The building/structure in which the cabinet is installed must able to withstand local earthquakes. The
building/structure must be constructed according to local earthquake codes to withstand seismic events of
the local seismic zone (seismic zone 1, 2, 3, or 4).
Mounting
You must supply the mounting hardware:
• Four anchor bolts — 1/2 inch bolts that comply with the ASTM specification with a minimum
protrusion above the floor of 1 1/8 inches
• Four flat washers, lock washers, and nuts
Airvana supplies a cardboard template that indicates the position of the anchor bolts. This template is
included in the cabinet’s shipping crate.
