2.2 Before Starting Installation
This section provides general installation considerations, unpacking and
inspection procedures, and lists the tools and materials required for cabinet
installation. Installation Overview: Installation of MSO All-In-One Cabinet
involves the following main tasks: 2.2.1 Installing a Support Base: The
cabinet must be mounted on a suitable support base. The following two mounting
options are available: · Fiberglass Mounting Sleeve (FMS) The FMS is a
rectangular sleeve that mounts in the ground. The FMS provides a
stable mounting platform plus storage space under the cabinet for OSP cable
slack. The FMS may also be used as a splicing vault for OSP cables. · Poured
Concrete Pad Concrete slab with Pad Mounting Frame (PMF). The PMF is a
stainless-steel frame that is embedded in the concrete during installation of
the slab. The cabinet attaches to the PMF which holds it securely to the slab.
2.2.2 Mounting the Cabinet: After the support base is installed, the cabinet
must be secured to the support base. The OSP feeder and distribution cables
must be uncoiled and routed to a separate splice enclosure (not provided)
before the cabinet is secured to the support base. 2.2.3 Splitter
Installation: The cabinet is fully populated with 1:64 optical splitters. If
additional splitters are required, they must be ordered separately. All
splitter modules that are ordered separately must be installed in the splitter
compartment and the input connectors must be mated with the terminated feeder
cable fibers. 2.2.4 Splitter Output Fiber Connections: Service is enabled by
connecting the splitter output fiber connectors to the subscriber distribution
ports. Unused output fibers are temporarily “parked” in the storage panel
until they are needed for service.

Installation Recommendations: · The site chosen for the installation must
conform to all local codes and any permits required must be obtained prior to
the start of installation. · The location must be accessible and provide
adequate parking for worker and vehicle safety. · Situate the concrete pad
close to the trench that was used for routing the OSP fiber cables for the
network distribution
system. · The installed cabinet must not create a visual or physical
obstruction to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. · Ensure that there is
sufficient space on all sides to facilitate cabinet installation. · Depending
on the landscaping requirements, the top surface of the concrete pad may be
located from 0 to 3 inches (7.6
cm) above the surrounding grade.
Base Construction and Conduit Installation: · Prepare a base for the concrete
pad that meets all local code requirements. · The base must have a footing of
4 to 6 inches (10.2 to 15.2 cm) of sand or gravel (per local practice) on
firmly compacted
soil. · Refer to the construction diagram in Figure 17 for details. · Install
the cable conduit from below and position it so that the top of each upward
bend will be located within the PMF
opening at the indicated point. · When installed, the top of the conduit
should be located 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 cm) below the top of the
finished
concrete pad. · Install the conduit before pouring the pad.

Concrete Pad Construction: Use the following procedure to construct the
concrete pad: 1. Build a wood form for the concrete pad using 2 x 6 framing
lumber as shown in Figure 19. 2. Locate the PMF as shown in the construction
diagram (see Figure 17). When installed, the top surface of the PMF must be
flush and level with the top of the concrete pad. Note: Use temporary top
framing to keep the top surface of the PMF flush and level with the top of the
concrete pad (see Figure 19). 3. Place reinforcing material inside the form
but outside of the PMF. 4. Verify that the PMF and form are level. Depending
on the landscaping requirements, the top surface of the concrete pad
may be 0 to 3 inches (0 to 7.6 cm) above the final grade. The weld nuts are
covered with plugs which must be left in place until the enclosure is mounted.
Figure 19. Concrete Pad Framing 5. Pour the concrete to form the pad but do
not pour concrete into the center area of the PMF. Note: Allow some concrete
to flow under the flanges on the bottom of the PMF so the PMF will be locked
in place when the concrete hardens. However, do not allow concrete to fill the
center of the PMF. If necessary, partially fill the center of the PMF with
sand or gravel to prevent an inflow of concrete. 6. Remove the top framing and
the temporary support wires when the concrete is ready to be finished. 7.
Allow concrete to cure before proceeding with the installation. Grounding
System Installation: Install a grounding system (not provided) that meets all
local electrical codes. Check local codes for grounding system installation,
use of clamps, wire size, and any other grounding requirements. Typically, #6
AWG copper wire is used for the ground wire. If the grounding system includes
a ground rod, install the rod (see Figure 17) within the PMF opening at the
indicated point. When installed, the top of the rod should be located 1 to 2
inches (2.54 to 5.08 cm) below the top of the finished concrete pad. Leave
sufficient slack in the grounding wire to allow it to be routed into the
cabinet after the cabinet is mounted on the pad.

Placement of the FMS:
Danger: Use adequate lifting equipment when installing the FMS. Do not stand
in the hole while placing the FMS in position. An unexpected shift of the FMS
could result in personal injury.
Use the following procedure to place the FMS into the excavation: 1. Fill the
bottom of the hole with stone aggregate, tamping it as it is filled to build a
12-inch (30.5 cm) layer with a level
surface. The stone aggregate will provide a stable base to support the FMS.
Note: Use crushed rock 3/8-inch or less in size mixed with stone dust (per
local practice) to fill the hole. The name of the material may differ in
different geographical areas. Possible names are Class 5, stone dust, aughts
(0s) and ones (1s), or stone aggregate
2. Use appropriate lifting equipment to place the FMS into the center of the
hole. Lifting bolts are provided 3. Use a carpenter’s level to verify that the
FMS is level. If it is necessary to add or remove fill for leveling, tamp any
added
fill to maintain the base stability.
Cable Conduit Installation: Select the conduit entrance holes (see Figure 20)
for the OSP feeder and distribution cables. If necessary, additional conduit
entrance holes may be cut using a power drill and hole saw. Place and route
the conduit into the entrance hole(s). If preferred, the FMS may be installed
without conduit. OSP cables may be routed into the FMS at any point that is
convenient. Cut the cable entrance hole to match the size of the cable.
Grounding System Installation: Install a grounding system (not provided) that
meets all local electrical codes. Check local codes for grounding system
installation, use of clamps, wire size, and any other grounding requirements.
Typically, #6 AWG copper wire is used for the grounding wire. Install the
grounding system inside the FMS where it will not interfere with the conduit
or cables. Leave sufficient slack in the grounding wire to allow it to be
routed into the cabinet after the cabinet is mounted on the sleeve.
Back Fill: If installing conduit, hand shovel stone aggregate under the
conduit to avoid damage from the power tamper.
Complete the back fill as follows: 1. Add stone aggregate evenly around the
FMS and tamp. Fill to approximately 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the top of the
excavation. 2. Complete the back-fill with crushed rock or topsoil depending
on the landscaping requirements. The top surface of the
mounting sleeve may be located from 0 to 4 inches (10.2 cm) above the
surrounding grade (see Figure 17).
