This chapter describes the procedure to connect the AC power supply cables
to the side compartment cabinet.
According to the Alcatel SPP-33 document, the power cables and earth cables
are already supplied and installed before A9100 Outdoor installation.
Before making any electrical connections to the BTS, ensure that the safety
instructions are followed.
It is essential that :
The protective earth is connected to the equipment earth terminal
The electrical power supply is disconnected.
