ADCP-75-163SDR • Issue 1 • September 2004 Warning: To prevent electrical shock, never install equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm. When installing or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines at the network interface before working with uninsulated lines or terminals. Disconnect all power feeds before working with uninsulated lines or terminals. Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation can seriously damage the retina of the eye.

ADCP-75-163SDR • Issue 1 • September 2004 protocol often differs from country to country. A single SDR set with an all-inclusive software repertoire can be used in any mode, anywhere in the world. Changing the service type, the mode, and/or the modulation protocol involves simply selecting and launching the requisite computer program. A SDR PCIx Host Card is shown in Figure 1. PIN 1 19307-A Figure 1.

The SDR PCIx host card is installed in a server and cabled to the LRCS remote (radio head) units and the GPS receiver. Power is provided by the server with configuration and software management through the server communications interface. Communications with the network is through the server and associated hardware and software. 2 2.

ADCP-75-163SDR • Issue 1 • September 2004 2.4 Remove PCI Riser Cage Caution: To prevent damage to the server or expansion boards, power down the server and remove all AC or DC power cords before removing or installing the PCI riser cage. 1. If necessary, disconnect any internal or external cables connected to all expansion boards. 2. Lift the PCI riser cage thumbscrews and turn them counter-clockwise. 3. Remove the PCI riser cage. 2.

ADCP-75-163SDR • Issue 1 • September 2004 2.8 Install Access Panel 1. Place the access panel on top of the server with the hood latch open. 2. Push down on the hood latch. The access panel slides to a closed position. 2.9 Slide Server Into Rack After performing the SDR PCIx Host card installation procedure, slide server back into the rack: 1. Press the server rail-release latches and slide the server fully into rack. 2. Secure the server by tightening the thumbscrews. 3 3.

ADCP-75-163SDR • Issue 1 • September 2004 2. Route the timing input/output coaxial cables (if not already routed) between the SDR PCIx Host card and the GPS interface device (per system design) and cut to the required length. Allow sufficient slack for dressing and organizing cables at the SDR PCIx Host card. 3. Terminate each cable end with the appropriate male connector following the connector supplier’s recommendations. 4.

ADCP-75-163SDR • Issue 1 • September 2004 fibers must be terminated with duplex LC connectors for connection with the SDR card. Remote unit has SC connectors. The maximum length of the optical links is dependent on the loss specifications of the optical fiber and the losses imposed by the various connectors and splices. The system provides an optical budget of 20dB (typical) when used with 9/125 single-mode fiber.

Optical Ports (Transceiver Sockets) Use the following procedure to install the forward and reverse path optical fibers and to connect them to the SDR PCIx Host card: 1. Obtain the required lengths of single-mode fiber optic cable. 2. Route the fiber optic cable between the SDR PCIx Host card and the remote (radio head) unit (if not already routed) and cut to required length.

ADCP-75-163SDR • Issue 1 • September 2004 1. Slip on an Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) wrist strap and connect the ground wire to an earth ground source. Wear the ESD wrist strap while completing the optical transceiver installation procedure. Warning: Electronic components can be damaged by static electrical discharge. To prevent ESD damage, always wear an ESD wrist strap when handling electronic components. 2.

ADCP-75-163SDR • Issue 1 • September 2004 4. Remove transceiver from anti-static packaging and orient for installation. See Figure 5. 5. Insert the optical transceiver into the socket until it locks into place. 6. Replace the optical transceiver dust cap if it was removed for installation. 7. Repeat procedure for each optical transceiver that requires installation. 4 POWERING UP THE SERVER To power up the server, connect power cord and move the start/on button to the ON position.
