Cabinet Dimensions and Installation Clearance Requirements

A 220 V AC cabinet consists of a -48 V DC cab binet and an EPU. When
installing a 220 V AC cabinet, ensure that a cle
earance of 100 mm or more is
reserved at the rear of the cabinet, whereas noo clearance needs to be
reserved at the rear of a -48 V DC cabinet. Thee following figure shows a 220

Installing the Base on the ESD Floor
There are two types of ESD floor supports: Tyype 1 and Type 2. Type 1 applies to versions earlier than
V100R009C00, GBTS V100R016C00, NodeB B V200R016C00, and eNodeB V100R006C00.Type 2 applies to
V100R009C00, GBTS V100R016C00, NodeB B V200R016C00, and eNodeB V100R006C00 as well as later
versions.

installation position. The following shows a -48 V DC cabinet as
a an example.
z If the inter-RFU RF signal cables are installed before the ca
abinet is delivered, only the cables on the
ANT_TX/RXA ports need to be installed, as shown in figure 1.

Install the cables sequentially from the top to bottom

and from both sides to the middle, as shown in Figure 2.
