The Base Station Unit (BSU) is a rack-mountable control unit that links up to six
radios and their antennas to the core network through a WAN backhaul channel. It
must be mounted indoors, protected from precipitation and temperature extremes.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the room in which Base Station Units are installed
has temperature and humidity controls necessary to maintain the
temperature between 32 and 104 °F (0 and 40 °C) and the humid-
ity between 10% and 90% noncondensing.

OUNTING
The Base Station Unit occupies two vertical rack units (3.5 inches) in a standard
19-inch equipment rack. It includes integral mounting ears as part of the front panel,
handles on the front panel near the mounting ears, and drawer slides on the sides of
the unit. Air flow holes are located on the sides of the enclosure, with a pair of cooling
fans on the rear panel.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the equipment is mounted so that adequate air
flow around the BSU—particularly near the ventilation holes and
fans—is not blocked.
Secure the front panel to the equipment rack using the appropriate hardware.
