5.8 Installing the Base Station System
Caution A TB8100 subrack complete with modules can 
weigh up to 28kg (62lb), or up to 30kg (66lb) com-
plete with packaging.  We recommend that, once 
the equipment is out of the carton, you remove the 
modules from the subrack before moving the equip-
ment again.  Otherwise, have another person help 
you with the lifting.  In all cases follow safe lifting 
practices.
5.8.1 Unpacking the Equipment
Unpacking the 
TB8100 BSS
The TB8100 BSS is packed in a strong corrugated cardboard carton with 
top and bottom foam cushions.  To prevent personal injury and damage to 
the equipment, we recommend that two people unpack the BSS.
1. Cut the tape securing the flaps at the top of the carton and fold them 
flat against the sides 
b.
2. Rotate the carton carefully onto its side 
c and then onto its top d, 
ensuring that none of the flaps is trapped underneath.
