2. Install
1) Locate existing RAX board. Shown in Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1 2) Remove adjacent Blank board using a T8 Torx screwdriver. An example is shown in Figure 2.2. Not all Torx screwdrivers will fit the small recess of the Ericsson board. This one is a Craftsman T8 x 2-1/2 in. Screwdriver. Sears item# 00941653000
Figure 2.2 3) Plug in the board immediately to the left of the existing one, and wait for it to normalize (all lights green).

4) You will have to unlock the newly installed RAX. Once plugged in, it will show up as locked, From OSS, open RAN Explorer, Locate the Node B, then Right Click for Tools Node Status Analyzer (NSA), then launch Tools Cabinet Viewer Application and Unlock the new RAX from the button on top of application. Figure 2.3.
3) Save a new C

3. Test
1) Lock the first original RAX (it could be done from element manager or cabinet viewer in OSS). This will force all calls onto the new Rax in order to test it. 2) Do the call test. (1) one CS (Voice) and (1) one PS (Data) call for the whole site). 3) Unlock the first RAX board.

4. Verify
1) Open Cabinet Viewer; ensure RAX boards operational 2) Open Alarm List, Alarm Matrix or Node Status Analyzer to verify no alarms. 3) Check Channel Element Utilization after the install as pictured in Figure 4.1. The Utilization should go down. RAX board install

5. Modify
1) The RF Performance Engineer will modify the Cell Channel configurations as applicable. For detailed instructions on changing Cell Level Parameters, see Appendix 1. 1 RAX board => sf16AdmUl set to 16 (128kBit per RAB for each User allowed) 2 RAX boards => sf16AdmUl set to 32 (Still 128kBit per RAB for each User allowed due to second board added) 3 or more RAX boards => sf16AdmUl set to 50 (which is the maximum value)
