optical module is powered off.
lTo ensure the heat dissipation of the RRU and waterproofing of the ports at the bottom of
the RRU, the vertical deviation angle of an RRU must be less than or equal to 10 degrees,
as shown in Figure 3-8.
lOn a tower, an RRU can be installed on a pole, angle steel, or U-steel. U-steel and angle
steel support the standard or reverse installation of a single RRU only.
