5 Installation
This chapter provides information on the site requirements for your TB9400
equipment and also describes how to install the base station in a standard
19 inch rack or cabinet.
If this is your first time installing a TB9400 base station, we recommend that
you read the entire chapter before beginning the actual installation.
5.1 Before You Begin
5.1.1 Equipment Security
The security of your base station equipment is a high priority. If the site is
not fully secure, the base station should at least be locked in a secure cabinet
to prevent unauthorized access.
5.1.2 Grounding and Lightning Protection
Electrical Ground The base station modules are grounded by physical contact between the
module case and the subrack. To ensure a good ground connection you must
tighten each module retaining clamp securely (refer to “Final Reassembly”
on page 107 for the correct torque).
A threaded grounding connector is provided on the rear of the subrack for
connection to the site ground point (refer to “Connecting Up the Base
Station” on page 80 for more details).
Lightning Ground It is extremely important for the security of the site and its equipment that
you take adequate precautions against lightning strike. Because it is outside
the scope of this manual to provide comprehensive information on this
subject, we recommend that you conform to your country’s standards
organization or regulatory body.
