ve release liners, if present, from the thermal pads on the RF Module prior to installing the module into
the Remote Unit chassis.
CAUTION! The thermal pads are very sensitive to mish
andling—do not nick, scratch, or ding them.
For Single- and Dual-Bay RF Modules, the thermal pads are locate
d as listed below and as shown in Figure 9,
which shows a Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Module.
• one
large pad on the back surface of each Linear Power Amplifier (LPA)
• up to two on the fro
nt surface (DARTs)
• one on the left side fo
r the (RDI)
• one on the vector mo
dulator board
