Installation Overview

This chapter provides the basic setup involved in the installation process of an IPSeries High Speed Base

Station. For backhaul requirements, refer to Appendix A of this document.

S Standard considerations such as air flow clearance above the base station for heat dissipation

and ensuring adequate space exists behind the base station for the routing of cables are of

primary importance.

A minimum clearance of 1 rack space is recommended for natural convection cooling. Coax,

power, and interface cabling service lengths with neat routing will make the removal and

replacement of the base station easier for functional testing and maintenance purposes.

To prevent injury and damage to the base station, exercise extreme caution throughout the

installation process and follow the reminders listed below.

 Follow safety precautions for handling rack unit installations.

 Do not

alter the components listed in the Installation Requirements section, unless

substituions are noted within this chapter.
