h1. Hardware 

 h2. h1. Physical Setup / Board Stacking 

 The hardware consists of two circuit boards: 

 * Top board: AC/DC power supply and Ethernet switch 
 * Bottom board: Actual Femtocell mainboard 

 The two boards are sandwiched together by the following connections: 
 * 6-pin fine-pitch connector (most likely for DC power) 
 * flexible printed circuit cable (most likely for Ethernet MII/RMII) 
 * two large sheet metal parts for ground and/or thermal connection 

 It is thus not very straight forward to operate the opened device in a safe way (i.e. without live AC line voltage present). 

 We will be working on a way to operate it with injected safe low DC voltage, but that is still TBD.
