2.1.3 CHASSIS REQUIREMENTS
Before installing the picoBTS, ensure that adequate clearance space is allowed around the unit.
Enough clearance should be provided from the back of the chassis to allow adequate cooling
and cable connections to the distributed antenna system.
This requires at least 7.9 inches (20.0 cm) from the rear panel. The minimum clearance
required from the front and on either side of the chassis is 3.9 inches (10.0 cm). This unit is
designed to be rack mount and there is no minimum clearance required above or below the
chassis.
These mounting clearances should provide ample clearance for the RF and Ethernet cables to
be attached to the connectors at the front and rear of the chassis.
The picoBTS should be installed indoors away from salt spray and in an area where there are
minimal vibrations.
Table 2-4 lists the weight and dimensions of the picoBTS chasiss.
