5 Installation
This chapter provides information on the site requirements for your
TB7300 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 TB7300 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,
ventilated cabinet to prevent unauthorized access.
5.1.2 Grounding and Lightning Protection
Electrical Ground A threaded grounding connector is provided on the rear of the tray for
permanent connection to the site protective ground point (refer to for more
details). The minimum wire gauge for this connection is 1.35mm²/16AWG.
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.
