Installing Subracks and PSUs in an Equipment Rack

Connect the RFD Cards

1 Followthestepsin"InstalltheCANandTENCards”onpage27toinstalltheRFDCardsintotheWCS

SubrackSlotsR1-R8,asneededforaCANconfiguration.

2 ConnectRFcablesfromtheBTS/eNodeBore-POItotheduplexQMAconnectorsoftheRFDcards.

• SISOservicessuchasCDMA,UMTS,GSM,andLTESISOcanbeconnectedtoanyactiveport.

• LTEMIMOpairsmustbeconnectedonthesameRFDCard,asapairto:Port1andPort2ortoPort3

andPort4.

3 IfthesignallevelsoftheBTSexceedthemaximuminputlevelof+27dBm,ane-POIRFcardorother

suitableattenuatormustbeusedtoattenuatethesignal.ForoptimumPIMperformance,thecomposite

levelintoaDonor(RFDCard)portshouldbelessthan16dBm.Ifonlyonecarrierisinaband,PIMis

probablynotaconcern.Forthecaseoftwoormorecarriersinaband,spuriousintermodsduetoPIM

couldlandintheULcausinginterference.WhetherornotPIMwillcauseinterferencedependsonthe

spacingbetweenULandDLandthefrequenciesofactivecarriers.

TENs do not support RFD Cards.
