Safety Precautions Table 2-1 : Safety Sumbols GENERAL WARNING ELECTRICAL HAZARD GROUND GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTION VOLTAGE: Care should be taken when servicing this area. Misuse or inappropriate contact with these areas could result in physical harm and property damage GROUND: Site for grounding equipment These cautionary signs are used on the equipment and within this manual. For safety of personnel and protection of equipment observe these precautions when installing, operating or servicing the equipment and surrounding areas. 3. General Warnings Electrical Power Supply – cord fitted for AC or DC. DO NOT adapt to a different configuration. Power supply circuits may carry high voltages. Remove rings, watches, and other jewellery before working with this type of equipment. Batteries – Certain installation of this equipment require working with lead acid batteries, batteries present chemical, electric and gaseous hazards. Batteries are not supplied by IPWireless for the Node B equipment although UPS systems may be coupled with the device in order to provide back up power in case of power outages. Physical Weight – The RF or Digital shelves of the Rack Node B can weigh up to 15kgs (33 pounds) each depending on configurations. Precautions should be taken, depending on the installation site conditions, in lifting and general handling the device. Environmental There are different precautions to take within each installation situation. Specific precautions are listed in the installation section for that situation. Site Location The NodeB Rack Mount basestation is designed to be installed in restricted access locations only. The site locations are accessible by suitably trained service/installation personnel only. Network Connections The NodeB Rack Mount basestation is NOT suitable for direct connection to Public Switched Networks. This means that the Node B is NOT suitable for direct connection to TNV circuits.

Node B Rack Mount Installation Guide Version 0.0.3 Page 7 of 39 4. Overview Node B is the European Technical Standards Institute’s (ETSI) name for the radio base station. The basic function of the Node B is to convert 100 Base T packet data into the UTRAN TD-CDMA air interface used between the Node B and the 3G Modem. The Node B can be configured to operate in configurations ranging from a single sector or omni mode, up to a 6 sector arrangement. One Node B is required for each sector of coverage, in the case of an omni configuration one Node B will be required. The Node B is controlled by an INC (Integrated network Controller) generally co-located at the site possibly in a separate cabinet. The Node B supports both 768 mega chips (10MHz) and 385 mega chips (5MHz) without any hardware modification. Scope This document covers the physical installation and mounting of the Node B Rack Mount in a rack installation. It contains the specific mounting requirements for installing within a rack ut does not contain specifications for the rack. Where the Node B Rack Mount is required to be installed in an outdoor configuration, the specific requirements for the outdoor enclosure are listed. The manual does not detail custom or specialised installations or applications. Additionally, antenna rigging/mounting, lightning protection, tower work, feeder installation / termination are all considered to be outside the scope of this document. If in any doubt about the suitability of this document to successfully install at the proposed location, then please consult IPWireless technical support for assistance.

Node B Rack Mount Installation Guide Version 0.0.3 Page 13 of 39 6. Installation This section describes the steps to be followed to physically install the Node B. Step 1 Pre-Installation The following are the initial checks that should be carried out to ensure that preparation for the installation is complete. For Installation Check Card please see Appendix A at the back of this manual. 1. Review site construction drawings to determine if site was constructed according to the drawings. 2. Review drawings and actual installation to determine location of Node B installation. 3. Check availability of electrical, grounding and antenna connections. 4. Complete site survey. 5. Check structural strength of mounting rack or frame including shelves/rails to support Node B total weight of 25Kgs (55lbs) or multiples if a multi-sector installation.

Node B Rack Mount Installation Guide Version 0.0.3 Page 18 of 39 Step 3 Site Preparations for Node B Installation The section specifies the facilities that need to be available at the site prior to installation. The table below is a site checklist that should be completed prior to installation. It is assumed that the site has already been selected from RF network planning and that site acquisition or permission has been granted. Table 6-4 : Site Preparation Checklist # Facility Complete Yes/No 1 Mains power supply –48Vdc 2 Availability of suitable Ethernet, E1, T1, E3 or T3 Interfaces 3 connections and trunking/conduits for interfaces 4 Suitable earth 5 Rack or cabinet suitable to mount the NodeB 6 Clearance around the NodeB for cable entry and cooling - see figure below Assumptions It is assumed that prior to Node B installation all civil, electrical distribution, structured cabling termination work has been completed. Additionally, all antenna rigging, feeder runs and terminations, associated lightning protection and earthing, has been done, with certification for safety / compliance issued as required by local regulations. It is also strongly recommended that all VSWR plots of the feeder / antenna installations should be available for inspection. Positioning the Node B with a rack or cabinet The digital and RF shelves of the rack mount may be mounted on a single shelf/shelf support as a pair (Figure 6-4) or can be mounted into the rack on separate shelves or shelf supports (Figure 6-5). The RF shelf needs to be on the top with the digital shelf beneath. The maximum vertical distance between the shelves shall be not more than 1U (44mm or 1 ¾”). Selection of a suitable position for the Node B shall be done by surveying possible sites with regard to the availability of facilities i.e. power, relative position to the INC and consulting the site plans. The Node B directly connected to the INC should be sited not more than 100m from the INC using Shielded Category 5 Ethernet cable as specified. Care should be taken to position the Node B for easy front and rear access. The Node B will need to be connected near the feeder terminations and earthing points as provided on site. Where the Node B is installed using a microwave link ensure that the microwave link can support the Ethernet requirements for the IUB interface i.e. 10 or 100 Mbps / full / half duplex as the Node B and INC may need to be configured manually in order to support this configuration.

Node B Rack Mount Installation Guide Version 0.0.3 Page 20 of 39 General Considerations The following consideration and checks are applicable to all mounting types :- The NodeB rack mount is designed for indoor use only refer to Table 5-1. Review the GPS installation guidelines (step 12) to ensure that the location will allow proper operation of the Node B GPS remote antenna. i.e. a Southern Exposure is required for outside installations (Northern Hemisphere), a GPS repeater may be necessary in areas where the active GPS antenna cannot reach. There should be a minimum clearance of 100mm in front and behind the Node B rack mount (Figure 5-1 & Figure 5-2) for cable routing, air intake/exhaust and access to fans at the rear. Ensure that the rack or cabinet is sufficiently strong to support the Node B or multiples. The Node B requires un-restricted airflow front for air inlet to the rear for air exhaust.
