Airvana ipBTS C30 Installation and Commissioning, Release 4.0 3-3
Installing the chassis
The ipBTS consists of the chassis, ADCC and RF modules, and cables. Each chassis supports
three radio sectors. The chassis is a 2U configuration that can be used as a table top unit or can
be mounted in any cabinet or rack that supports standard 19 in. EIA mounting rails.

Unpacking the chassis
Use a box cutter or blade to carefully open the chassis shipping container. Remove the packing
material. Store the shipping container and packing material in the event that the chassis needs
to be shipped back to manufacturing for replacement or repair.
CAUTION
Each chassis weighs approximately 35 lbs. (15.8 kg) as shipped and should be moved with
care to prevent damage to the equipment or personal injury.
Verifying shipping contents
As you unpack each component, match the contents with the packing list to verify that you
have all of the parts before proceeding.
Visually inspect each component for damage that may have occurred during shipment. Look
for evidence of water damage, bent or dented chassis, loose screws or nuts or foreign material
in the connectors.
CAUTION
Inspect each electronic component carefully to look for damage caused by rough handling
during shipping.
