General Considerations
The following consideration and checks are applicable to all mounting types :-
 The V5 Node B is designed for indoor or weather-proof enclosure use only - refer to
Table 4-1.
 Review the GPS installation guidelines (step 12) to ensure that the location will allow
proper operation of the Node B GPS remote antenna. i.e. a Southern Exposure is
required for outside installations (Northern Hemisphere), a GPS repeater may be
necessary in areas where the active GPS antenna cannot reach.
 There should be a minimum clearance of 100mm in front and behind the Node B rack
mount (Figure 4-1 & Figure 5-2) for cable routing, air intake/exhaust and access to fans
at the rear.
 Ensure that the rack or cabinet is sufficiently strong to support the Node B and other
equipment that may be installed with it.
 The Node B requires un-restricted airflow at the front for air inlet and to the rear for air
exhaust (see figures 5-1 & 5-2).
 Air filtration for the Node B environment should be specified at the cabinet/enclosure or
building level see table 5-1 for specification.
