Macro Base Station Installation Procedures (NPM-2500)
Attach the Base Station Components
The following base station components are designed to be rack-mounted on a standard 19-inch
telecommunications rack:
 NPM-2500 chassis
 Radio module shelf
 PDP
The components typically use four M5 screws (two on each side) to attach to the rack. The
recommended torque for each screw is 3 N•m (27 inch-pounds).
The edge router for the site is typically installed on the same rack as the base station equipment.
 To attach the rack components
1 Attach the radio module shelf to the bottom of the rack. If the rack is shared with other equipment, install
the radio module to the bottom-most location.
2 Attach the chassis directly above the radio module shelf.
3 If possible, attach the edge router directly above the chassis. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation
for specific information about installation.
4 Attach the PDP to the top-most location in the rack to be used for base station components.
