and mark the start points for the front of a row of cabinets. From each start point, mark the
benchmark lines in the cabinet arrangement direction.
2. Place the marking template on the floor. Ensure that the semicircle notch of the template
indicates the front of the cabinet and the edges of the template align with the benchmark
lines.
3. Mark the positions of the holes (four holes for each cabinet) for expansion bolts on the floor
by using the template.
4. After all the hole positions are marked, ensure that the distance between the holes is
accurate.
5. Go to Step 6.
Step 5 If the marking template cannot be used on site, use the tape measure to determine the positions
of the holes for the expansion bolt assemblies.
1. As shown in Figure 5-4 or Figure 5-5, use measuring and marking instruments to measure
and mark two straight lines with 687 mm wide spacing, and ensure that the lines are parallel
with the front of the cabinet.
2. As shown in Figure 5-4 or Figure 5-5, determine the position of hole for the first expansion
bolt assembly on each of the straight lines. Taking the hole as the benchmark point, mark
the installation holes for other expansion bolt assemblies in succession.
3. After all the hole positions are marked, ensure that the distance between the holes is
accurate.
Step 6 Drill the holes.
CAUTION
l The concrete floor should not be penetrated. Therefore, you should confirm the thickness of
the concrete floor before drilling holes. For some types of concrete floors on which the drilling
is not suitable, you should consult the architectural engineers and get their permission before
drilling holes.
l Before drilling holes, you should take dustproof measures on the electronic equipment in the
equipment room. You should use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust during the drilling.
Before removing the dustproof cover from the electronic equipment, you should clean up the
pieces of concrete that have accumulated during the drilling.
l You must wear safety goggles during the drilling to protect your eyes from the dust.
l While drilling holes, you must hold the drill stock firmly. You must keep the drill bit vertical
to the floor to protect the floor from being damaged or the holes from being slanted.
1. Dig a pit by using a chisel to help hold the drill bit to the floor, as shown in Figure 5-6.
2. Use a percussion drill to drill holes at the marked places on the concrete floor. The depth
of each hole must range from 52 mm to 60 mm. All the holes must have the same depth.
Select a Ф16 drill bit in appropriate length. See Figure 5-7.
3. Ensure that the depth of each hole ranges from 52 mm to 60 mm and that the holes are not
slanting. If the depth of the hole is not appropriate or if the hole is slanting, re-drill the hole.
If the slanting hole cannot be corrected, stop using the hole.
4. Remove the dust inside and outside the holes by using a vacuum cleaner.
Step 7 Install the expansion bolt assemblies.
Figure 5-8 shows an expansion bolt assembly.
1. Measure the distance between the holes. If the distance does not meet the specifications,
reposition and drill new holes.
2. Insert the guiding rib on the nut into the guiding slot on the expansion tube, and then screw
the bolt slightly to ensure that the guiding rib does not move out from the guiding slot. See
Figure 5-9 ①.
3. Insert the expansion tube and the nut into the hole vertically, and then use a rubber hammer
to strike the expansion tube until it is completely buried in the hole, as shown in Figure
5-9 ②.
4. Pre-tighten the expansion bolt clockwise so that the nut and the expansion tube do not get
loose easily. See Figure 5-10 ①.
5. Unscrew the expansion bolt counterclockwise and then remove the spring washer and flat
washer. Keep them for future use. See Figure 5-10 ②.

Step 7 Use the marking plate to determine the positions of the holes for the expansion bolt assemblies.
1. As shown in Figure 6-7 or Figure 6-8, use measuring and marking instruments to measure
and mark the start points for the front of a row of cabinets. From each start point, mark the
benchmark lines in the cabinet arrangement direction.
2. Place the marking template on the floor. Ensure that the semicircle notch of the template
indicates the front of the cabinet and the edges of the template align with the benchmark
lines.
3. Mark the positions of the holes (four holes for each cabinet) for expansion bolts on the floor
by using the template.
4. After all the hole positions are marked, ensure that the distance between the holes is
accurate.
5. Go to Step 9.
Step 8 Use the tape measure to determine the positions of the holes for the expansion bolt assemblies.
1. As shown in Figure 6-7 or Figure 6-8, use measuring and marking instruments to measure
and mark two straight lines with 704 mm wide spacing, and ensure that the lines are parallel
with the front of the cabinet.
2. As shown in Figure 6-7 or Figure 6-8, determine the position of hole for the first expansion
bolt assembly on each of the straight lines. Taking the hole as the benchmark point, mark
the installation holes for other expansion bolt assemblies in succession.
3. After all the hole positions are marked, ensure that the distance between the holes is
accurate.
Step 9 Drill the holes.
CAUTION
l The concrete floor should not be penetrated. Therefore, you should confirm the thickness of
the concrete floor before drilling holes. For some types of concrete floors on which the drilling
is not suitable, you should consult the architectural engineers and get their permission before
drilling holes.
l Before drilling holes, you should take dustproof measures on the electronic equipment in the
equipment room. You should use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust during the drilling.
Before removing the dustproof cover from the electronic equipment, you should clean up the
pieces of concrete that have accumulated during the drilling.
l You must wear safety goggles during the drilling to protect your eyes from the dust.
l While drilling holes, you must hold the drill stock firmly. You must keep the drill bit vertical
to the floor to protect the floor from being damaged or the holes from being slanted.
1. Dig a pit by using a chisel to help hold the drill bit to the floor, as shown in Figure 6-9.
2. Use a percussion drill to drill holes at the marked places on the concrete floor. The depth
of each hole must range from 52 mm to 60 mm. All the holes must have the same depth.
Select a φ16 drill bit. See Figure 6-10.
3. Ensure that the depth of each hole ranges from 52 mm to 60 mm and that the holes are not
slanting. If the depth of the hole is not appropriate or if the hole is slanting, re-drill the hole.
If the slanting hole cannot be corrected, stop using the hole.
4. Remove the dust inside and outside the holes by using a vacuum cleaner.
Step 10 Install the expansion bolt assemblies.
Figure 6-11 shows an expansion bolt assembly.
1. Remove the dust inside and outside the holes by using the vacuum cleaner. Measure the
distance between the holes. If the position of a hole is not correct, re-position and drill a
new hole.
2. Insert the guiding rib on the nut into the guiding slot on the expansion tube, and then screw
the bolt slightly to ensure that the guiding rib does not move out from the guiding slot. See
Figure 6-12 ①.
3. Insert the expansion tube and the nut into the hole vertically, and then use a rubber hammer
to strike the expansion tube until it is completely buried in the hole, as shown in Figure
6-12 ②.
4. Pre-tighten the expansion bolt clockwise so that the nut and the expansion tube do not get
loose easily. See Figure 6-13 ①.
5. Unscrew the expansion bolt counterclockwise and then remove the spring washer and flat
washer. Keep them for future use. See Figure 6-13 ②.

insulating tapes to prevent the connectors from contacting the wiring terminals of the PDF.
l The layout of power cables and PGND cables should facilitate future expansion.
l The power cables and PGND cables should be routed separately from the signal cables.
l When power cables (or PGND cables) are laid parallel to signal cables, you should leave
at least 10 mm between the power cables (or PGND cables) and the signal cables inside
the cabinet and at least 100 mm outside the cabinet.
l When bending the power cables and PGND cables, you should ensure that the bending
radius is five times longer than the diameter of the cable.
l When adopting the underfloor cabling mode, you should reserve extra length of the power
cables at the cable inlet of the power distribution box on top of the cabinet. The purpose is
to help plug in and pull out the cables. In addition, the cables must be laid neatly at the top
of the cabinet.
l When connecting power cables to the wiring terminals of the power distribution box, you
should route them in a straight manner and ensure that the cables are curved smoothly at
the bent, without crossings.
Binding Principles
l The power cables and PGND cables are bound separately from the signal cables.
l The space between the cable ties should be 200 mm.
l The types (100 mm, 150 mm, 300 mm, and 295 mm) of cable ties should be determined
on the basis of the number of cables.
l The cable ties should face the same direction.
l After binding the cables tightly, you should cut off the surplus parts completely for indoor
cable ties and leave 3 mm to 5 mm for outdoor cable ties. The tails of the cable ties should
be trimmed.
