Installing the Base Station Chassis and
Modules
The indoor equipment should be installed as close as possible to the
location where the IF cable(s) enters the building. The location of the
indoor equipment should take into account its connection to the power
source(s) and to the base station networking equipment.
To install the Base Station chassis and modules:
1. Attach the Cable Guide to the top panel of the chassis using the
screws and washers supplied with the Cable Guide.
2. Install the chassis in a 19 inch cabinet. For installation in a 21"
cabinet, attach suitable ETSI rack adaptors to the chassis. To
provide a sufficient space for the Cable Guide and to allow air flow
for preventing over-heating, leave a free space of at least 1U between
the upper covers of the chassis and other units in the cabinet.
3. Connect one end of a grounding cable to the ground terminal
located on the back panel of the chassis and firmly tighten the
ground screw. Connect the opposite end of the ground cable to a
ground connection or to the cabinet, if applicable.
4. Carefully insert the modules into the relevant slots. Secure the
modules in their intended locations (refer to
page 2-25 for instructions on modules' insertion).
5. Place blank covers over all of the unused slots.
6. Connect the DATA port of the NPU to the backbone data equipment
(use a straight Ethernet cable to connect to a hub/switch/router).
The maximum length of the Ethernet cable is 100m when operating
at 100Mbps and 70m when operating at 1Gbps.
7. If the MGMT port will be used for remote management, connect it to
the appropriate data equipment (use a straight Ethernet cable to
connect to a hub/switch/router). The maximum length of the
Ethernet cable is 100m.
