1.4.1.2 Powering Off a Base Station


This section describes how to power off a base station.
A base station can be powered off in either of the following ways:
● In scenarios such as an equipment swap or an anticipated regional blackout,
you must perform a normal power-off.
● In scenarios such as a fire, smoke, or water damage in the equipment room,
you must perform an emergency power-off.
The normal and emergency power-offs are performed with the procedures in the
following table.

Power-Off Method Procedure

Normal power-off Remove connectors from the output power cables for
all power components and then turn off the switch on
the external power equipment for the DBS5900.

Emergency power-off Turn off the switch on the external power equipment
for the DBS5900. If time permits, remove the
connectors from the output power cables for all power
components.
