Installation overview
This section provides an overview of the tasks you will perform when installing RMBs.
To install the RMBs:
1 Install the mounting brackets to the cabinet, then attach the cabinet to the rack.
Note: Do not operate the system before you have securely mounted the cabinet to a standard
19" rack that can handle the weight of the total system. To calculate the weight of your
system, note that the housing weighs 43 pounds, each base station weighs 18 pounds, and
each filter weighs 3.5 pounds.
So, if you have one cabinet, one RMB, and one filter, the weight of the total system is 64.5
pounds. Adjust this figure according to the number of RMBs and filters that you are using.
2 Attach the power supply and switch to the rack.
3 Insert the pre-configured RMBs into the cabinet.
4 Connect the cabinet to the following components:
•Switch
•Power supply
• Antennas or antenna filters, if filters are required.
•GPS
5 Follow your company’s good grounding practices. Typically, you will ground the cabinet
bus bar and the power supply.
6 Power on the base stations.
