l When a single RRU is installed, the wall has a capacity of bearing at least four times the

weight of the RRU.

l Expansion bolts must be tightened to 30 N·m (265.52 lbf·in.) to ensure the bolts work

properly and the wall remains intact without cracks in it.

3.5 Installation Clearance Requirements of an RRU

This section describes the requirements for the installation clearance of a single RRU and multiple RRUs and the requirements for the installation spacing between RRUs.

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.
