 To decommission a base station

i Establish an SSH session with each card, as described in the SOMA SoftAir System Administration
Reference.
ii Shutdown each card by typing:
shutdown now ↵
2 Shutdown the application hosts using the procedure described in step 1.
3 Shutdown the standby utility bus controller using the procedure described in step 1.
A utility bus controller is in standby mode when the USR2 status light is off.
4 Shutdown the active utility bus controller using the procedure described in step 1.
A utility bus controller is in active mode when the USR2 status light is green.
5 Power off the base station by setting CB01 through CB14 to the OFF (down) position.
6 Power off the main power supply for the base station. With most power bays, circuit breakers control the
three +24V DC feeds to each rack. Ensure that the main power is removed for both the radio and RF
racks.
See the documentation that accompanies your main power supply for specific instructions on powering
off the +24V DC feeds to the base station.
After the main power supply is powered off, it is safe to prepare the racks for shipment or storage.
7 Package the racks according to the procedures specific to your site. If you remove the cards from their
shelves, ensure that the cards are stored in antistatic packaging and that the required documentation is
included.
WARNING: Ensure that the necessary requirements and procedures have been
reviewed prior to the start of any power-related activity. Refer to your power cut-over
MOP for procedures specific to your site.
