BBU in triple-mode base

stations. It is recommended

that this space be reserved

even when only one BBU is

installed.

9 Remaining space Optional - This 2 U space can house the

GATM or transmission

equipment. The GATM is

preferentially installed in this

space and is supplied with

power by the DCDU-01. If

there is no GATM, the

transmission equipment is

installed in this space.

NOTE

The transmission equipment is preferentially installed outside the cabinet. However it can be installed at

the bottom of the cabinet under some special condition (e.g.: space constraint). The following requirements

must be satisfied:

l The transmission equipment must be able to work properly at a temperature equal to or higher than

55°C.

l The transmission equipment is fed with external power supply since DCDU-11A does not support

power supply to transmission equipment.
