Macro Base Station Installation Procedures (NPM-1000)
P OPULATING THE S HELVES
These procedures describe how to install the CompactPCI power supplies and cards into the utility
and radio shelves.
NOTE: Your base station may arrive with the shelves already populated. If this is the
case, ensure that the cards are properly secured in the shelf and proceed to the next
section.
Depending on the configuration of your base station, the exact number, layout, model,
and faceplates of the cards may vary. See your field engineering package for the
specific layout.
Host Card Compatibility
The base station supports the use of both Concurrent 310 and Ziatech 5550 processor cards for the
utility bus controllers and radio sector controllers. However, the following guidelines must be
followed:
 Shelves must use the same type of card – The radio and utility shelves can use either card
type as a controller card. You cannot, however, use Concurrent and Ziatech cards in the same
shelf.
 Rear I/O cards must match processor card – You cannot use a rear I/O card with the other
type of processor card. Rear I/O cards must be of the same type.
