NOTE
The recommended installation clearance ensures normal running and provides an appropriate space for
Operation and Maintenance (O&M). If there is sufficient space, leave the recommended installation
clearance.
The minimum installation clearance ensures normal running and heat dissipation, but OM activities such
as checking indicator status and opening the maintenance cavity cannot be properly conducted. If the
installation space is restricted, leave the minimum installation clearance.
3.5.1 Installation Clearance for a Single RRU
This section describes the recommended and minimum installation clearance for a single RRU.
