Node B Installation Guide Version 5.0.0 Page 13 of 15 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, T11, E3 or T3 Interfaces 3 connections and trunking/conduits for interfaces 4 Suitable earth 5 Structure 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 Depending on the flatness of the wall the bracket can either be mounting directly to the wall or can be mounted offset from the wall using 'Unistrut'. 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 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 where it can be easily accessed via the front access cover. The Node B will need to be connected near the feeder terminations and earthing points as provided on site. Note: 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 Installation Guide Version 5.0.0 Page 14 of 15 General Considerations The following consideration and checks are applicable to all mounting types :- Ø Consider the earthquake zone requirements for the given site being considered and ensure that the mounting arrangement and location complies. Ø Review the GPS installation guidelines (Step 7) 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. Ø Depending on the installation it may be required to fit the cable conduit to the cable glands prior to mounting Node B to the bracket. Ø There should be a minimum clearance of 1m above and below the Node B. Ø Ensure that the wall or mounting surface is sufficiently strong to support the Node B and structure. Ø The Node B should be upright to permit adequate heat dissipation. Figure 6-2 : Node B - Positioning Clearance Min 1m Min 1m

Node B Installation Guide Version 5.0.0 Page 15 of 15 Step 4 Mounting Bracket Installations There are three ways of installing the Node B:- Ø Wall, Ø Pole Ø Rack Mounts.
