Chapter 4: Base Station Installation Procedures
Cover Empty Radio Bays
Depending on the configuration of your base station, there may be empty bays on the radio rack. Your
base station may arrive with the unused radio bays already occupied with filler shelves. If this is not the
case or if the configuration of your base station has changed, you need to add filler shelves to any
empty bays to ensure the required airflow to the occupied bays.
 To cover the empty radio bays
1 Slide the filler shelf into the lowest empty radio shelf bay in the radio rack. If the bay is too tight to
accommodate the filler shelf, loosen the 5/16-inch screws that hold the cable troughs to the rack. This
should provide enough space for you to slide in the filler shelf.
2 Puncture a hole in the grounding tape for each filler shelf screw location.
3 Secure the filler shelf to the rack using eight 5/16-inch screws. Torque each screw to 50 inch-pounds.
4 Retighten the 5/16-inch screws on any loosened cable troughs.
5 Repeat steps 1 to 4 for any remaining empty bays in the radio rack.
