This section provides pre-installation information for a RadioFrame System at a customer
site. A pre-installation site review and evaluation helps prevent potential equipment
installation problems. Consider every subject discussed in this section before installing
the GSM/802.11b/g RFS.
3.1 Receipt of Equipment
RadioFrame Networks equipment is shipped as follows: the BCU, and each ACU and
RFU are each shipped in its own box. The GSM RadioBlades and iRAPs are shipped
several to a box and individually wrapped in antistatic packaging. Unpack each unit only
at the time of installation—leave items in their shipping containers until ready for use.
3.1.1 Equipment Inspection
Inspect the RadioFrame Networks equipment immediately upon receipt. If obvious
damage has occurred to shipping containers before unpacking, contact the shipping
agent. Ask that a representative of the shipping company be present while the equipment
is unpacked. Observe guidelines for safe handling of electrostatic sensitive devices or
equipment to prevent damage due to electrostatic discharge. A conductive wrist strap is
provided with each RFU and should always be worn when handling any electrical
component, including GSM RadioBlades.
Check for the following:
• loose or damaged equipment in the pre-installed main rack
• dents, scratches, or other damage on all sides of each component
• physical damage to GSM RadioBlade or iRAP antennas or connectors
If any equipment is damaged, contact the shipping company immediately, then your
customer representative.
3.1.2 Equipment Inventory
Check all the RadioFrame System equipment against the itemized packing list to ensure
receipt of all equipment. If available, check the sales order with the packing list to account
for all equipment ordered. Contact your customer representative to report missing items
and for additional information.
