The engineering design in terms of construction, structure, heating, ventilation, power supply,
lighting and fire fighting should comply with the environment requirements for optical
synchronous transmission equipment. It should also comply with the international standards
and specifications related to industrial enterprise, environment protection, fire fighting, and
human protection, as well as the regulations and requirements for constructing and designing
buildings.
Site requirements are as follows:
l The altitude should be within the range of -60 m to 4000 m.
l The site should be kept away from (heavy, moderate, and light) pollution sources. If
these pollution sources cannot be avoided, select a site in the perennial upwind direction.
Use a high-quality equipment room or take high-level protective measures.
l The ventilation port for air exchange of the equipment room must be kept away from
sources of corrosive gas pollution. The equipment room should be kept in the positive
pressure state lest the corrosive gases enter the equipment room and erode components
and circuit boards.
l The equipment room should be kept away from heat sources. If this is unavoidable, using
a heat exchange cabinet or air conditioning cabinet is recommended.
l The equipment room should be located as high as possible. In general, it must be located
at least 600 mm above the maximum flood level in the local record.
l The historical livestock room or the chemical fertilizer warehouse cannot be used as the
equipment room.
l The equipment room should be solid enough to withstand wind and downpour.
l The equipment room should be kept away from the road or sand field with dusts flying
around. If this requirement cannot be satisfied, the windows and doors of the equipment
room should be kept away from the sources of pollution.
l The equipment room should not be placed near any water source. If this cannot be
avoided, the equipment room must be closed, with an air conditioning system installed.

2.1.2 Layout of Equipment Room


This section describes the principles of the overall layout of the equipment room.
The communication equipment room houses a complete set of communication transmission
equipment, for example, SPC switching equipment, power supply, and so on. They should be
arranged compactly for ease of maintenance and management. Figure 2-1 shows a typical

2.1.4 Cleanliness of the Equipment Room


This section describes the requirements for the cleanness of the equipment room.
Dust on the equipment may lead to electrostatic adherence, and consequently result in poor
connection between metal connectors or connecting points. This will reduce the service life of
the equipment, and even makes it faulty.
To ensure long-term and reliable equipment operating, reduce dust particles in the equipment
room.
Table 2-3 shows the specifications for the density and diameter of dust particles in the
equipment room.

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 9


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

Table 2-3 Mechanical active substance


Mechanical Active Substance Content

Suspended dust ≤ 0.4 mg/m3

Deposited dust ≤ 15 mg/(m2·h)

Gravel ≤ 300 mg/m3

The equipment room shall be guarded against dust and corrosion by harmful gases such as
SO2, H2S, NH3, NO2, and CL2. 2.1.6 Corrosive Gas Control Requirements shows the limits
for them.

To meet the above requirements, take the following measures:

l Keep the equipment room far away from pollution sources and do not smoke in the
equipment room.
l Seal the doors and windows.
l Use dustproof materials for the floor, walls, and roof.
l Install screen doors and screen windows. Ensure that the outer windows are dustproof.
l Clean the equipment room and air filter regularly.
l Always wear clean lab coat and protective footwear before getting into the equipment
room.
l Cover the ceiling and walls of the equipment room with wallpapers or lusterless paint
(pulverized paint prohibited) to prevent dust flake-off.

2.1.5 Temperature and Humidity


This section describes the requirements for the relative humidity and ambient temperature in
the equipment room.

Proper temperature and humidity should be maintained inside the equipment room for the
transmission equipment to work well constantly, as shown in NE device Product Description
Technical Specifications and Environmental Requirements.

Too high or low temperature or humidity will do harm to the transmission quality and service
life of the equipment. Too high relative humidity in the equipment room for a long period will
greatly jeopardize the equipment. It will cause poor insulation or even electrical leakage in
certain insulation materials. Sometimes, it can cause changes in the mechanical performance
of such materials. Moreover, the metal parts of the equipment are prone to rusting. But when
the relative humidity is too low, the captive screws will become loose as the insulation washer
may get dry and shrink. Meanwhile the static electricity generated in the dry climate may
damage the circuits of the equipment. Too high indoor temperature will greatly reduce the
reliability of the equipment. If the equipment runs in such a high temperature environment for
a long period, its life will be shortened because the over high temperature will accelerate
aging of the insulation materials.

2.1.6 Corrosive Gas Control Requirements


This topic describes the requirements for the corrosive gases in the equipment room.

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 10


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

Besides dust-proof efforts, measures should be taken to prevent the equipment room from
being corroded by harmful gases, for example, SO2, H2S, NH3 and so on. Table 2-4 shows the
content limit on corrosive gases.

Table 2-4 Corrosive gas content specification


Item Unit Monthly Average
Content

SO2 mg/m3 ≤ 0.30

H2S mg/m3 ≤ 0.10

NH3 mg/m3 ≤ 1.0

Cl2 mg/m3 ≤ 0.10

N02 mg/m3 ≤ 0.50

HF mg/m3 ≤ 0.01

O3 mg/m3 ≤ 0.05

To fulfill the above requirements, take the following measures for the equipment room:
l Build the equipment room away from places with high-density corrosive gases.
l The air intake of the equipment room should be at the opposite side to the pollution
source.
l Do not use sulfur-containing organic materials to decorate the equipment room. These
materials include ESD pads, thermal insulation cotton, and soundproof cotton that are
made up from sulfur-containing rubber.
l Do not store diesels or gasoline engines in the equipment room where devices are placed.
When an oil-fired engine is outside the equipment room, ensure that the exhaust of the
engine is in the downstream direction of the equipment room and the engine is far away
from the air intake vent of the air conditioner for the equipment room.
l Place storage batteries isolated from one another. You are suggested to put one battery in
a room.
l Make an agreement with a professional monitoring company to monitor the environment
regularly.

2.1.7 Electromagnetic Requirements


This section describes the electromagnetic conditions and the measures for suppressing
electromagnetic interferences.
The electromagnetic requirements are showed in Table 2-5.

Equipment or the equipment room should be kept away from strong electromagnetic
interference sources. If this requirement is not met, take additional radiation protection
measures. For example, place the equipment in a radiation-resistant network cabinet or a
sealed cabinet.

2.1.8 ESD Protection


This section describes the requirements for the ESD prevention and the preventive measures
for the equipment room.

The absolute static voltage value should be less than 2000 V.

To fulfill this requirement, take the following measures:

l Train the operators on ESD prevention.


l Control the humidity in the room to reduce the impact from static electricity.
l Lay ESD floor in the room.
l Wear ESD shoes and uniforms before entering the room.

2.1.10 Power Supply


This section describes the DC power supply system.

The working power voltage for the equipment ranges from -38.4 V to -72 V. The transmission
equipment offers a transmission path for communication networks, so its interruption will
have a wide influence. Therefore, the DC power distribution system should be protected
against power failure and configured with storage batteries. To deal with a long-term power
outage, a diesel generator should be equipped as the standby AC power supply for the
backbone transmission equipment. The DC power supply system consists of storage battery,
primary power supply (rectifier), DC distributor and control panel.

Storage battery
Storage battery is an essential component of the DC power distribution system of NE
equipment. Functionally, it serves to:

l Stabilize the voltage for the transmission equipment to work reliably.


l Store energy. In the case of outage of mains, the storage battery can feed power for a
period of time, which depends on its capacity, so that the communication will not be
interrupted immediately.

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 14


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

l Filter for large capacitors. The storage batteries are useful for absorbing surge voltage
from rectifiers and preventing noise and power frequency interference from getting into
the communication equipment.
l Automatically shut down. When the voltage of the storage battery drops to below -43.2
V, the control circuit can automatically shut down the output.
The storage battery of NE equipment is charged and discharges under a low, constant voltage.
Table 2-7 shows the relevant requirements:

l Primary power supplies shall be able to operate in parallel, and there should be current
equalizing device between them.
l The primary power supplies should be equipped with a current limiting device.
l The output voltage of the primary power supply should meet the requirement for initial
charging of storage batteries, that is 2.35 x 24= 56.4 V DC (when the power supply is
-48 V DC)
l A DC voltmeter and an ammeter should be installed for the primary power supplies.
l The efficiency of the primary power supply should be more than 85% and its power
factor more than 0.8.
l Natural cooling is recommended for the primary power supply. The primary power
supply should be able to work continuously with full load within 0°C-40°C.

DC distributor and control panel


l The capacity of the primary power supply should be designed according to the power
consumption of the transmission equipment of the terminal office, and a certain margin
should be reserved. Generally, high frequency switching power supplies with a high
switching efficiency should be adopted, which should work in N+1 hot standby mode.
There should be an output current equalizer for each power module. The failure of a
single power module will not affect the normal operation of the whole DC power
distribution system.
l Each control panel can access a minimum of two groups of storage batteries. When one
of them fails, the other can supply power instead.
l Each control panel can access a minimum of 5 primary power supplies.
l The power supply equipment should be capable of automation, so as to satisfy the non-
attendant requirement.
l When the primary power supply charges the storage batteries in floating charge mode,
the number of primary power supplies put into operation depends on the load. When one
primary power supply becomes faulty, it will drop out automatically, while the standby
primary power supply will automatically go into operation.
l In the case of mains outage, storage batteries will discharge. When the mains resumes, it
will automatically recharge the discharged storage batteries with a current 0.1 to 0.15
times of the battery capacity. When the charging voltage reaches 56.4 V, it will
automatically change to constant-voltage charging.

l When the storage batteries are fully charged, they will automatically change to floating
charge.
NE equipment also has critical restriction on random transient noises, which include the
abnormal operation noise of the equipment caused by external magnetic interference and the
interference from the equipment itself and the ground cables. The shorter the duration of the
transient pulse, the larger values of such transient noises can be allowed. For the allowable
values, see Figure 2-3.

l When the power supply equipment fails or works abnormally, visual and audible alarms
should be given. Such alarm information should be sent to the operation and
maintenance center.
l In case short circuit occurs in a tributary of the power supply system, the whole power
distribution system should not be affected by the sharp voltage reduction.

2.1.11 Lighting in the Equipment Room


The OptiX transmission equipment room is equipped with three lighting systems.
l Active lighting system, which is powered by mains supply.
l Backup lighting system, which is powered by backup power supply (diesel electric
generator) of the office.
l Emergency lighting system, which is powered by storage batteries when the mains
supply has been interrupted but the backup power supply has not yet started to supply
power.

2.1.12 Protection System


This section describes the requirements for the protection system.

ESD protection
The equipment-affecting electrostatic induction comes from the external electric field such as
outdoor high voltage transmission line or lightning. It also comes from the internal system
such as indoor environment, floor materials or equipment structure.

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 17


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

Static electricity may damage the chips on integrated circuit boards and cause faults in
software and electronic switch. Statistics shows that 60 percent of the damaged circuit boards
are caused by static electricity. It is essential to take effective ESD protection measures.

The following measures are recommended:

l Ground the equipment well. While laying the raised floor covered with semiconductive
materials, copper foil should be used for grounding at a number of points on the floor
(the copper foil should be placed between the concrete floor and the semiconductive
floor and should be connected to the ground cable).
l Take dust-proof measure. Dust may do great harm to NE equipment. Dusts or other
particles getting into the equipment room may cause poor connection between
connectors or metal connecting points. When the humidity in the room is high, dust can
cause electrical leakage. It is found in maintenance that the equipment failure is often
caused by accumulated dusts. Especially, when the humidity in the room is very low,
electrostatic adherence is likely to occur.
l Keep proper temperature and humidity. Too high humidity may make the metal
components rusty, while too low humidity may induce static electricity.
l Always wear an ESD wrist strap and lab coat when touching a circuit board to prevent
electrostatic damage to the equipment.

Interference prevention
With the development of technologies and social economy, more and more electromagnetic
signals are transmitted in the air. They may affect the communication quality by causing
cross-talk and stray noise, and even result in communication interruption. The
electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources include:

l The corona discharge of the electric transmission line


l The transformer
l Switches
l Waveform distortion of the power supply network caused during the operation of large
equipment
l Radio frequency (RF) interference
l Natural interference sources such as terrestrial magnetic field and external radiation

The interference, from either inside or outside the equipment or the application system, affects
the equipment through conductive modes such as capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,
electromagnetic wave radiation, common impedance (including grounding system) and cable
(power and signal cables). In terms of external relationships of the equipment, interference is
from the signal cable, power cable, grounding system and spatial electromagnetic wave.

Integrated circuits (ICs) have the interference resistance capability to a degree. However when
the external noises go beyond their anti-interference tolerance, corrupted signals and even
system malfunction will be caused. It is impossible to eliminate or shield all the interference
sources, but the following measures can be taken to suppress the interference signals:

l High frequency interference in the power supply network is generated when the primary
coil of the power supply transformer is coupled to the secondary coil through distributed
capacitors. To suppress such interference, we can use an appropriate transformer, and
install a low-pass filter at the inlet of the power supply cable.

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 18


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

l The interference of the transient voltage in the power supply network can be reduced by
inputting power directly from the primary transformer with a filter capacitor for NE
equipment.
l When NE equipment works in the 50 Hz mains power supply network with the above
interference, the surge voltage caused by the power supply network and the over-voltage
generated by lightening will be passed to the power supply of the optical synchronous
transmission equipment, which leads to computing errors of the processors. Therefore,
before directly using the mains supply, effective measures against interference from
power supply network should be taken.
l The key to eliminate the interference from the grounding system is to avoid loops among
various grounds, such as the signal ground (including analog and digital grounds),
BGND, PGND and shield ground, or loops formed by large distributed capacitors.
Otherwise, the common impedance interference from the grounding system may affect
the operation of the equipment. In buildings other than high-rises, the working ground of
NE equipment should be separated as far as possible from the ground for electricity
equipment and surge protection device.
l Prevent electromagnetic radiation interference from the surroundings to the equipment.
In some integrated communication buildings, if there is a high frequency transmitter
there, its influence on NE equipment should meet the relevant requirements. Independent
power supplies are recommended for them.
l EMI from the telecommunications line should be restrained. Influenced by high
frequency electromagnetic field (external interference), high longitudinal voltage will
occur in the core and sheath of the communication cable. Because of the asymmetry of
cores in the cables, the longitudinal voltage will generate a horizontal noise voltage at
the ends of the cores. When both ends of the cable sheath are grounded, the sheath will
function as a shield layer, greatly reducing the longitudinal voltage and reducing the
interference voltage. Other effective methods include: reduce the voltage or current of
the interference source; reduce the line length and the spacing of the conducting wires to
reduce the area of the affected loop; directly place the insulated conducting wires on the
grounded floor; use a special grounding feedback cable to avoid co-impedance; or twist
the signal cable and the feedback cable together to offset partial peripheral
electromagnetic interference, and so on.

Fire protection
For small equipment rooms, a certain number of portable fire extinguishers should be
equipped in each room for an initial fire control. In large equipment rooms, fire extinguishing
facilities should be equipped. An automatic fire alarm system should also be equipped in the
equipment room. All telecom buildings with fire alarm system should have fire emergency
lighting system and evacuation instruction marks at important places, paths and gateways.

Anti-earthquake demand
The designed anti-earthquake intensity of the telecom equipment room must be one degree
(Richter scale) higher than that for the common buildings. The equipment room building that
cannot meet the requirement should be reinforced. When installing NE equipment, the
following anti-earthquake measures should be taken.

l Use steel framework for the cabinet of the equipment. There are locking devices to fix
the boards in the cabinet.
l The cabinet is reinforced with guide rail on the top and supports at the bottom.

surge protection
Chimneys, antennas or other things that are over 15 m tall on the top of the equipment room
building should be designed according to the surge protection requirements for civil buildings.
Measures should be taken against direct flash and intrusion of lightning current. In the main
high-rise transmission building, protective measures should be taken to prevent side lightning
strokes, especially in frequent lightning areas. Therefore designers should take actual
conditions into consideration and take appropriate measures. For example, connect the metal
external window frame to the surge protection wire; along the height of the building, place the
surge protection metal bands at a definite spacing on the outside wall, and so on.
The main equipment-room building should be provided with the following surge protection
measures:
l The building should have surge protector nets or bands installed at the positions
susceptible to lightning strokes. Lightning prevention wires or lightning rods should be
installed on the top of chimneys and antennas that are protruding from the building. The
cross-sectional area of the grounding wire of the surge protection device should not be
smaller than 120 mm2, while the space between the wires not larger than 30 m.
l The earth resistance of the earthing/grounding system is recommended to be less than 10
ohms, and the equipment grounding should be in accordance with national and local
electrical codes as well.
l Outdoor cables and metal pipes should be grounded before entering the building, and the
outdoor overhead cables should be equipped with lightening protection devices at the
inlet of the building.
l It is suggested to use roof plates, beams and pillars made of reinforced concrete and the
reinforcement bar as the ground cables of lightening arresters.
In the past surge protection grounding of the building was separate from the grounding for
telecom system and power supply system, and a large distance was required between the
grounding objects. However, the distance requirement is not satisfied due to small space of
the building. In fact, they cannot be separated in most cases, so joint grounding system is
recommended for the lightening protection grounding of the building. The joint grounding
system shall connect the telecom BGND, PGND, surge protection grounding of the building,
and grounding of the power frequency AC power supply system. A high earth resistance of
the joint grounding system is required. The earth resistance required by telecommunication is
far lower than 10 ohms, and the grounding requirements for different telecom devices vary, so
the resistance of the joint grounding system should be determined according to the minimum
resistance required for the grounding device.
It is recommended to use steel bars in the walls and pillars of the building as ground cables
for lightening protection. These wires should be electrically connected so as to equalize the
electric potential in the building.

2.2 Requirements for Running Environment B and


Installation Planning
This section describes the requirements for equipment location selection, dustproof and
waterproof, surge protection and grounding, heat dissipation, cooperation between air ducts,
power supply of equipment, cabling space, selection of network cabinets and outdoor
cabinets, and corrosion protection when equipment is installed in running environment B.

Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

2.2.1 Requirements for Selecting a Site for Equipment


To ensure that equipment operates stably over a long term, the site of equipment in
environment of class B must satisfy requirements with respect to communication network
design, communication technologies, hydrographic, geology, and transportation.

When selecting a site for equipment, make sure that the site satisfies the following
requirements:

l Equipment is kept as far as possible from the presence of harmful gases, dust, noise, and
excessive vibration. To achieve this level of protection, ensure that the equipment is
installed in a fully sealed enclosure or cabinet.
l Equipment is kept away from strong electromagnetic interference sources to ensure that
its electric field strength is less than 3 V/m, and the power frequency magnetic field is
below 3 A/m. For sites that cannot avoid strong interference, it is recommended that you
use the shielded chassis or cabinet to ensure that the equipment works properly. If used
in an electrical power substation or a similar environment, ensure that the
electromagnetic environment of the equipment meets power industry standards.
l Equipment is kept away from a tree or other plants. Otherwise, insects may be absorbed
by fans, resulting in damage to fans.
l Equipment is installed at least 500 m away from the seashore. If the network cabinet or
outdoor cabinet is configured with fans, ensure that the air intake vents do not face the
direction in which the sea wind blows.
l In an area prone to snow or rain, the vents of the network cabinet or outdoor cabinet are
at least one meter higher than the position with accumulated water or snow.
l Equipment is installed in a position away from water drips (outdoor part of an air
conditioner and dripping eave).
l The AC power system feeds power stably and no other devices with high power
consumption are operating. The rated voltage of the AC power system is 220 V and the
voltage on the power grid fluctuates within ±10%. After equipment is installed, the
voltage between L and N is 220 V, the voltage between L and PE is lower than 220 V,
and the voltage between N and PE is lower than 5 V. Otherwise, electrical leakage may
occur on the equipment and the user may fall victim to electric shock.
l Equipment does not face directly to windows of residential buildings. A network cabinet
is at least 5 m away from windows and an outdoor cabinet is at least 10 m away from
windows.
l Equipment is not directly exposed to rainwater or near windows or doors through which
rain water may enter.
l Equipment doors do not face residents or stand parallel with residents.
l When equipment is installed on a wall, the equipment is at least one meter above the
ground. This distance keeps equipment beyond the reach of residents.
l The air intake vents on equipment are far away fromsources of corrosive gas pollution.
Equipment is under positive pressure, which helps block aggressive gas. Aggressive gas
may erode electronic components or PCBs.
l When installed in a basement, a network cabinet should be installed in a place unable to
be flooded. In this scenario, the municipal drainage system of the building needs to be
taken into consideration.
l If the first floor of the building is low-lying, do not install the equipment in the weak-
current well on the first floor or ground-mount the equipment in the corridor.

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 21


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

l Do not lead the cables or optical cables on the top of the network cabinet and then
downwards into the network cabinet from the side or top. In addition, take water-proof
measures for all cables led into the network cabinet so that rainwater will not enter the
network cabinet along the cables.
l Cabinets have special protective equipment, such as rat guards. Ensure that these
facilities have been installed.
l Cabinets have access control and environmental monitoring equipment. Ensure that these
facilities have been installed and used.
l A filler panel is installed in each empty slot.
l Natural cooling equipment has enough space for heat dissipation.
l To prevent the air duct from being blocked, do not place any object around the air intake
or exhaust vent.

2.2.2 Dust Resistance and Water Resistance


The protection rating of the equipment is IP20. A network cabinet installed outdoors or in a
corridor that is exposed to rain must meet the requirements of IP55 rating protection at least.
A network cabinet installed indoors or in a corridor that is free from rain must meet the
requirements of IP31 rating protection at least.

Dustproof and Waterproof Capability of the Device


The protection rating of the equipment is IP20. (The first number "2" indicates that the
equipment can prevent a solid foreign object with the diameter larger than 5 mm from
entering the equipment. The second number "0" indicates that the waterproof function is not
provided.)
Install the device in a place that is free from flooding and prevent foreign objects such as
screw and cable end from entering the heat-dissipation hole of the device. Otherwise, the
device may be burnt due to short circuit.

Outdoor Dustproof and Waterproof Requirement


If the network cabinet is installed outdoors or in a corridor that is exposed to rain, the network
cabinet must meet the requirements of IP55 rating protection at least. ("IP" indicates
International Protection Rating. The first number "5" refers to the rating for preventing the
solid particle from entering the network cabinet. That is, ingress of dust is not totally
prevented, but dust shall not penetrate in a quantity to interfere with satisfactory operation of
apparatus or to impair safety. The second number "5" refers to the rating for preventing water
from entering the network cabinet. That is, water projected in jets against the enclosure from
any direction shall have no harmful effects.)
In regions with heavy dust, it is recommended that customers add air filters to their
customized network cabinets to improve the reliability of the network cabinet.

Indoor Dustproof and Waterproof Requirement


If the network cabinet is installed indoors or in a corridor that is free from rain, the network
cabinet must meet the requirements of IP31 rating protection at least. (The first number "3"
indicates that the network cabinet can prevent a solid object with the diameter equal to or
larger than 2.5 mm from entering the network cabinet. The second number "1" indicates that
vertically falling drops shall have no harmful effects.)

In regions with heavy dust, it is recommended that customers add air filters to their
customized network cabinets to improve the reliability of the network cabinet.

2.2.3 Corrosion Protection


To ensure normal running of the equipment installed in environment B, concentration of
corrosive gas must satisfy relevant requirements.

Table 2-9 lists requirements for concentration of corrosive gas in installation environment.

Table 2-9 Requirements for concentration of corrosive gas

Chemical Active Unit Content


Substance

SO2 mg/m3 ≤ 0.30

H2S mg/m3 ≤ 0.10

NH3 mg/m3 ≤ 1.00

Cl2 mg/m3 ≤ 0.10

The equipment installation environment cannot be surrounded with pollution sources. If this
condition cannot be met, it is recommended that the equipment be installed in a heat exchange
cabinet or an air conditioning cabinet.

2.2.4 Principle for Heat Dissipation of a Network Cabinet


The NE equipment needs to be installed in a standard network cabinet that complies with heat
dissipation requirements of the NE equipment.

1. When the NE equipment is installed in a network cabinet, the temperature at the air
intake vent cannot exceed the maximum temperature permitted by the equipment to run
normally, and the network cabinet must be capable of dissipating the heat generated by
all the equipment installed in the network cabinet.
2. Fans need to have the backup function. After a fan fails, the other fans can still work
normally. A failed fan needs to be replaced in time. For more information about the air
volume of fans, see the air volume of an indoor cabinet.
3. The heat dissipation capability of a network cabinet without fans is greater than the
maximum total heat dissipation consumption of the equipment in the network cabinet,
and the internal temperature of the network cabinet is lower than the maximum working
temperature of the equipment.

Thermal Design of a Network Cabinet with Natural Heat Dissipation


When the equipment is installed in a network cabinet with natural heat dissipation, the air
duct direction of the equipment needs to be consistent with the air duct direction of the
network cabinet. The equipment can be installed horizontally or vertically.

2.2.5 Cooperation Between Air Ducts


When selecting a network cabinet, make sure that the air ducts for the network cabinet match
those for equipment.

Recommended Air Ducts for Equipment


Figure 2-4 shows the recommended air ducts for equipment installed horizontally.

Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

Recommended Air Ducts for a Network Cabinet


In the case of a network cabinet with natural heat dissipation, make sure that air intake vents
are kept as far away from air exhaust vents as possible, to achieve a better chimney effect. Air
intake vents must be in the lower part of the network cabinet and close to the bottom panel;
air exhaust vents must be on the top panel of the network cabinet.
A network cabinet with natural heat dissipation enables air to flow in three typical modes, that
is, bottom in top out, bottom in side out, and side in side out, as shown in Figure 2-5.

Figure 2-5 Recommended air ducts for a network cabinet with natural heat dissipation

Bottom in side out Side in side out

In the case of a network cabinet with fan cooling, arrange air intake vents and fans properly so
that air flows evenly without forming an air reflow zone.
A network cabinet with fan cooling also enables air to flow in three typical modes, that is,
bottom in top out, bottom in side out, and side in side out, as shown in Figure 2-6.

Figure 2-6 Recommended air ducts for a network cabinet with fan cooling

Bottom in side out Side in side out

The fan tray assembly must match the design of vents on a network cabinet and generate
sufficient air volume.
A general rule to design vents is to determine the area of vents based on the size of the fan
tray assembly. This ensures a minimum of 30% of the maximum air volume generated by
fans.

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 30


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

For example, a fan tray assembly with dimensions of 120 mm x 120 mm x 25 mm generates
144 CFM air volume to the maximum. In this case, when the area of vents is 14400 mm 2 (40
mm x 360 mm or 120 mm x 120 mm), the system can obtain 57.6 CFM air volume at least.

2.2.6 Cabling Space


When installing the NE equipment in environment B, you need to consider the cabling space
in front of the equipment.

l When installing the NE equipment in a network cabinet, you need to follow the standard
of installing the equipment in a 19-inch cabinet. The cabling space in front of the
equipment must be no less than 75 mm.
l When installing the NE equipment in an outdoor cabinet, you also need to follow the
standard of installing the equipment in a 19-inch cabinet. The cabling space in front of
the equipment must be no less than 75 mm.
l When a network cabinet is installed on a wall, sufficient space must be left around the
cabinet.
– At least 800 mm space must be left in front of the network cabinet.
– At least 200 mm space must be left at the rear of the network cabinet.
– At least 200 mm space must be left on the top of the network cabinet.
– At least 300 mm space must be left below the network cabinet.

2.2.7 Power Supply for Equipment


The NE equipment supports DC power supply and AC power supply.

Requirements for Power Supply


For details, see NE device Product Description Technical Specifications and Environmental
Requirements.

2.2.8 General Requirements on surge protection and Grounding


Telecommunications devices have stricter requirements on surge protection and grounding
than other devices. Taking proper surge protection and grounding measures is the major
requirement to ensure that the device works normally.

When routing power cables or service cables connected to equipment to the outdoor area, do
not route them overhead.

1. Ground the equipment in compliance with national regulations, industry standards, and
carrier regulations.
NOTE

l When the device is installed inside the building, and the subscriber cable and power cable are
routed in the overhead cabling mode, install an elementary surge protection device on the input side
of the AC power system and ensure that the surge protection rating is not smaller than 5 kA (8/20
μs).

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 31


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

2. If the building has installation environment with a dedicated grounding system, use the
grounding system of the building directly to ground the device. Do not use the downlead
of the lightning belt or lightning rod of the building to ground the device.
3. If the building does not have installation environment with a dedicated grounding
system, it is recommended that you use the protective earthing (PE) of the AC power
distribution system of the building to ground the device.
4. If the building does not have any dedicated installation environment for grounding
devices or the PE of the AC power distribution system, construct a new grounding
system. It is recommended that you install the network cabinet on a lower floor of the
building to reduce the grounding cost.
5. Routing the aerial open wire into the network cabinet is prohibited. Use the cable with
metallic jacket and route the cable underground into the network cabinet.
6. After the power supply enters the network cabinet, use a surge protection bar.
7. Connect all devices and metal parts in the network cabinet to the ground bar in the
network cabinet in an equipotential manner. Connect the ground bar in the network
cabinet to the external ground device by using a ground cable.

2.2.9 Grounding Without Dedicated Grounding Environment


The equipment is generally installed in harsh environmental conditions. Even if in the
installation scenario without dedicated grounding environment, you also need to ground the
equipment properly if possible.

TN-C-S/TN-S AC Power System (N Wire and PE Wire Are Combined into One
Wire on the surge protection Bar or N Wire and PE Wire Are Provided
Separately)
It is recommended that you use the PE wire of the AC power cable to ground the equipment.
The prerequisite is that the PE wire of the AC power cable for the corridor of the building is
already grounded properly.

The PE wire of the AC power cable must be grounded. Otherwise, electrical leakage may
occur on the device and cause personnel injury.

Figure 2-7 shows the grounding connections of the TN-C-S AC power system.

Figure 2-8 Grounding connections of the TN-S AC power system

Use a ground cable (the cross-sectional area of the ground cable must be at least 6 mm2) to
connect all devices in the network cabinet to the ground bar of the network cabinet. Connect
the ground bar to the network cabinet in an equipotential manner through a metallic structure.
Use a ground cable to connect the grounding point of the reinforcing rib of the optical fiber to
the ground bar. You can also connect this grounding point to the network cabinet in an
equipotential manner through a metallic structure.

Use a ground cable (the cross-sectional area of the ground cable must be at least 16 mm2) to
connect the ground bar of the network cabinet to the PE wire of the corridor AC power
supply.

TT AC Power System (Provide Only L Line and N Line and Directly Ground the
Device)
It is recommended that an external ground device be adopted. For example, use the dedicated
ground device (such as the ground flat steel sheet, ground post, and ground bar) of the
building or the base concrete bar of the reinforcement concrete of the building, or deploy a
new earth screen.
Figure 2-9 shows the grounding connections of the TT AC power system.

Figure 2-9 Grounding connections of the TT AC power system

Use a ground cable (the cross-sectional area of the ground cable must be at least 6 mm2) to
connect all devices in the network cabinet to the ground bar of the network cabinet. Connect
the ground bar to the network cabinet in an equipotential manner through a metallic structure.
Use the ground cable to connect the grounding point of the reinforcing rib of the optical fiber
to the ground bar. You can also connect this grounding point to the network cabinet in an
equipotential manner through a metallic structure.

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 33


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

Use a ground cable (the cross-sectional area of the ground cable must be at least 16 mm2) to
connect the ground bar of the network cabinet to an external ground device.

NOTE

l In an installation environment with dedicated ground devices, the corridor ground device is
recommended for grounding.
l In an installation environment without dedicated ground devices, it is recommended that the base
concrete bar of the reinforcement concrete of the building be used or a new earth screen be deployed
for grounding.

2.2.10 Selection of the Network Cabinet


When selecting a network cabinet, mainly consider the factors such as capacity, parts
performance, protection performance, engineering installation performance, ventilation, and
heat dissipation. These factors help to select a reliable network cabinet at the initial stage of
network device deployment to ensure that the device runs reliably.
The network cabinet is generally installed in a basement or corridor. The network cabinet
needs to support the wall-installation mode and AC power distribution, and must be capable
of obtaining power from the power system inside the building. Its EMC and noise must
comply with standards. When an ONU is running, the network cabinet must ensure that the
noise is lower than 5 dB to avoid disturbing residents.

Space of the Network Cabinet


The space of the network cabinet in different configurations must meet the requirements of
terminal block layout and the space for routing FE network cables, power cables, E1 cables,
and optical fibers. For the requirements of the cable routing space, see 2.2.6 Cabling Space.

surge protection and Grounding of the Network Cabinet


l The electrical continuity between parts of the network cabinet must be satisfactory to
provide reliable grounding, safety, and protection performance. Ensure that the resistance
between any two connected points is less than 0.1 ohm. You can use a multimeter to
measure the resistance.
l For the AC-powered cabinet, it is recommended that you reserve a surge protection bar
and ensure that the surge protection rating is not smaller than 5 kA (8/20 μs).
l The network cabinet must provide a ground bar for grounding all devices in the cabinet
in a unified way. The resistance of the PGND cable must be smaller than 10 ohms.

Protection Performance of the Network Cabinet


The device is not waterproof. Therefore, when the device is installed indoors, install it in the
network cabinet that is free from splashing water.
In regions with heavy dust, it is recommended that customers add air filters to their
customized network cabinets to improve the reliability of the network cabinet.
Ensure that all cable apertures for external cables are sealed properly.
If the network cabinet is installed indoors or in a corridor that is free from rain, the network
cabinet must meet the requirements of IP31 rating protection. (The first number "3" indicates
that the network cabinet can prevent a solid particle with the diameter equal to or larger than
2.5 mm from entering the network cabinet. The second number "1" indicates that vertically
falling drops shall have no harmful effects.)

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 34


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 2 Installation Preparation

Test conditions/parameters of IP X1: drippage: 1 mm/minute; duration: 10 minutes.

Eligible adjudging criterion for protection:

l No water enters the cabinet.


l The water that enters the cabinet must be within the amount that may affect the normal
operation and safety performance of the cabinet. Water must not accumulate on the
insulating parts that may cause electrical leakage within the creepage distance. Water
must not enter the electrical parts or enter the winding (resistance) that cannot be used in
the damp state. No water accumulates around the cable head or enters the cable.

Engineering Installation of the Network Cabinet


The engineering installation performance of the network cabinet must meet the requirements
of installing the cabinet on a wall in the main indoor application scenarios of the network
cabinet, such as a basement or corridor.

l The network cabinet can be adaptively installed on different walls.


l When the wall is not flat, the network cabinet can be leveled so as to be installed reliably
(the recommended adjustable scope is 10 mm at least).

The space for routing power cables, optical fibers, and subscriber cables are planned properly
in the network cabinet. Various types of cables are routed separately and the cables do not
cross over each other. The positions of the MDF and the ODF are proper to ensure that the
cable length is proper after the device is installed.

Ventilation and Heat Dissipation Performance of the Network Cabinet


Requirements on the ventilation and heat dissipation performance of the network cabinet:
Obvious air intake vent and air exhaust vent are distributed in the air duct of the network
cabinet after the device is installed. Due to the difference between internal and external
network cabinet temperatures, the temperature of the air intake vent must be 10 °C lower than
the maximum ambient temperature of the NE device when it is operating. This ensures that
each board on the NE equipment satisfies requirements for heat dissipation.

2.3 Requirements for Running Environment C and


Installation Planning
In environment C, you need to install equipment in an outdoor cabinet with an air conditioner
or heat exchanger.

When NE equipment is installed in an outdoor cabinet, do not install other type of equipment
in the cabinet. If other type of equipment and NE equipment have to be installed in the same
outdoor cabinet, make sure that the equipment satisfies requirements for heat dissipation and
anti-erosion.

When installed in environment C, the equipment needs to be installed in an outdoor cabinet


with an air conditioner or heat exchanger, which keeps the equipment fully isolated from the
outside environment. Environment C involves the following cases:

l Outdoor area close to a pollution source


l Environment with only simple shields such as awnings

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 35

conform, adjust the page setup and try the printing again, until the correct printout is
produced. The method of adjusting the page setup is as follows:

1. Select the menu item File > Page Setup.


2. Select the Margins tab page.
3. Select Left for Gutter Position.
4. Set Header and Footer to 0, and adjust the values of Top, Bottom, Left, and Right.

After the page setup has been made correct, save it for future use. This page setup is only
necessary the first time you use the template to print the labels.

Requirements on the Printed Label


After you print the labels, check whether they comply with the template specifications:

l All the printouts must be on the label, and nothing should be printed on the bottom page
of the label.
l Contents in the cells should be aligned in the center. In a single-line printout, the
dividing lines and the mark "TO:" should not be covered by the printed characters.
l When the cells are merged and the printouts are made in multiple lines, avoid covering
the mark "TO:" when printing the texts by using the space bar to move the printing
contents to the next line.

Different from the ordinary paper, the label paper is composed of two pages. No matter what
model of printer you are using, feed in the labels one after another by hand. Never use the
auto-feed mode in order to avoid jamming the labels. Different models of printers may have
different feeding modes, make sure to feed in the labels correctly.

Table 3-9 Information on labels attached to the DC power cables


Content Meaning

MN(BC) - -1 MN (BC): BC is written right under MN. On the loaded cabinet


side, MN identifies the row and column number of the power
MN(BC) - -2 distribution equipment like the control cabinet and distribution
MN(BC) - BGND box, BC identifies the row and column number of the -48 V
connector (if there is no row number or column number, or the
MN(BC) - PGND connector can be identified without them, BC can be omitted).
BGND and PGND have no row and column number for
identification. On the power cabinet side, only MN is used to
identify the cabinet.

The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment, the control cabinet
or the distribution box, while information of the local end is not necessary. Table 3-9 lists the
information of two -48 V power supplies on the label. The information for other DC voltages
(such as 24 V, 60 V) should be given in similar methods. Make sure that labels are attached in
correct direction. That is, after the cable ties are bundled onto the cable, the identification
plates with the labels should face up, and the text on the labels in the same cabinet should be
in the same direction, as shown in Figure 3-15.

NOTE

l In the power distribution unit (or the first power cabinet of a row in the transmission equipment
room), every terminal block on the - connector bar has a numeric identification. For example, in
the above label of "A01/B08--48V2", "08" (or sometimes "8") is the numeric identification of the
terminal block.
l PGND and BGND are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are connected, therefore
which terminal is connected makes no difference. It is only necessary to give the row and column
of the power distribution unit, instead of giving the specific serial number of the terminal block on
the copper bar. For example, if the label on the loaded cabinet side is "A01-BGND", it means that
the power cable is a BGND that connects BGND copper bar in the power distribution unit on Row
A, Column 01 in the equipment room. Information on the labels for PGND cables should be given
in the similar way.

3.6.5.2 Engineering Labels for External Cables of Alarm Box


The external cables of alarm box are connected to the first subscriber cabinet of each row
(used for power distribution). Labels posted on the first cabinet of each row should indicate
which equipment is using the access terminal.
Labels are not needed on the equipment side unless there is special requirement. In this case,
only Area 2 of the label should be filled in.
Table 3-10 shows the information on the labels of alarm box external cables.

Table 3-10 Information on labels attached to the external cables of alarm box

3.7 The Requirements of Cabling and Bundling


Introduces the requirements of cabling and bundling the cables.

3.7.1 The Requirements of Cabling


Describes the method and requirements of cable routing.

l For equipment room installed with supports and ESD protection floor, cables can be
arranged in downward mode. That is, all cables can be routed through the interlayer of
the floor or the cable trough. If the overhead cabling mode is adopted, cable tray is
required above the cabinet for holding cables.
l The specifications and cross-sectional area of the cable, and the route and position for
cabling should be designed beforehand.
l All cables should be arranged neatly, with their sheaths remaining intact.
l Communication cables, such as alarm cables, network cables and clock cables, should be
arranged separately with the power cable and optical fibers.
l Turnings of the cable should be smooth, with the bend radius reaching 60mm or above.
l Any damage to the insulation layer of the conducting line is not allowed.
l The cable arrangement should take the future maintenance and capacity expansion into
consideration.

3.7.2 The Requirements of Bundling


Describes the method and requirements of cable binding.

l Bundling of the cable should be tidy, clear and elegant. As a general rule, cables are
grouped by types, or grouped as needed when they are in a large number. Bind them with
cable ties and route them in either upward or underfloor cabling mode in the cabling area
at the two sides of the cabinet.
l Cables must be bundled when arranged in ducts. Bind the cables closely with appropriate
tightness. The space between the cable ties should be even and the overall appearance of
the cabling nice.
l You may not bind the cables when arranged in cable troughs. But they should be placed
tidy and straight in the trough with no crossover. Moreover, the cables can not overflow
the trough. At two ends and turnings of the trough, use a plastic clip for the cables.
l Cables both inside and outside the cabinet must be bundled. Keep the cables bundled
closely and neatly.
l Use cable ties of different specifications for cables according to actual circumstances.

Issue 01 (2018-12-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 72


NE05E&NE08E Mid-End Router
Installation Guide 3 General Installation Guidelines

l Do not connect two cable ties in bundling. Otherwise, the binding strength will be
weakened.
l After the bundling, cut the remaining part of the cable tie smoothly, removing all burrs.
l The space between the cable ties is even and is three or four times the size of the bundle
diameter.
l When making turning for the bundled cable, keep the bend radius as big as possible to
avoid breaking the cable cores at the turning.
Figure 3-22 shows the specific operation of bundling.

Checking the Physical View of the Metal Contact Slices


The checking standards are listed as follows:
l The metal contact slices should be of the same height and are of the required sizes. The
crimp part should properly contact the core conductor.
l The metal contact slices should be basically parallel with a deviation of not more than
five degrees. The top edges should be basically parallel with the axes of the RJ45
connector with a deviation of not more than 10 degrees. This ensures reliable contact.
l No perceptible object, dirt or rust should be present on the surface of the metal contact
slice. Otherwise, the conductivity is affected.
l The metal contact slices should reliably contact the RJ45 connector socket. The plastic
spacers should remain the same before and after the crimping, and should have the same
spacing between each other. Each of them should be straight and intact.
l The crimping blade of the metal contact slice should exceed the core end. The core end
should tightly contact the trunking side of the RJ45 connector. The contact spacing
should not exceed 0.5 mm.

Procedure
Step 1 Hold the crimped RJ45 connector and observe the side from the front. Check the height of
each metal contact slice. The standard height is 6.02 mm ± 0.13 mm. If no special test
instrument is available on site, compare the RJ45 connector with another well crimped RJ45
connector. Figure 3-75 and Figure 3-76 show an unqualified RJ45 connector and a qualified
RJ45 connector respectively.

NOTE
If the RJ45 connector does not meet the requirement, crimp the RJ45 connector again and make sure the
RJ45 connector meets the requirement.

Step 2 Hold the RJ45 connector and slant it to a 45-degree angle. Side-glance the top edge of each
metal contact slice. Figure 3-77 an unqualified RJ45 connector.

Step 3 Hold the RJ45 connector. Observe the side and front of the metal contact slice, and check for
any perceptible object, dirt or rust. Remove the perceptible object, dirt or rust, if there is any.
If the removal fails, replace RJ45 connector and assemble the connector again. Otherwise, the
connector is unqualified. See Figure 3-78.

Step 4 Hold the RJ45 connector. Observe the side and front of the metal contact slices, and observe
the plastic spacers. Make sure they are intact and do not tilt. If they tilt or are not intact,
rectify the RJ45 connector. If the rectification fails, replace the RJ45 connector and assemble
the connector again. Otherwise, the connector is unqualified. See Figure 3-79.

Step 5 Hold the RJ45 connector and observe the side to check whether you can see the core section.
Make sure that the end of the cable core is close to the face of the cable trough of the
connector. The metal contact should be higher than the end of the cable core, and be properly
crimped to the cable core. If the RJ45 connector does not meet this requirement, replace the
RJ45 connector and assemble the connector again. Otherwise, the RJ45 connector is intact.

3.9.2.5 Testing Cable Connectivity


This section describes how to test the connectivity of the Ethernet cable by using the network
cable tester.

Prerequisites
During the process of routing or bundling cables, and assembling the connectors, the circuit
on the cable may become open or broken. Hence, after the preceding procedures are
completed, test the connectivity of the cable.

Background Information
You can also use a multimeter to test the connectivity of the network cable according to the
core connections. For details, see 3.9.1.4 Testing Cable Connectivity.

Procedure
Step 1 Insert the RJ45 connectors at the two ends of the assembled network cable into the RJ-45
female ports of the network cable tester in sequence.
Step 2 Make sure the RJ45 connectors are inserted properly. Turn on the network cable tester and
start the test. In the case of the crossover cable and straight through network cable, the test
procedures are the same but the indicators at the two ends turn on in different sequences. Test
the crossover cable according to the core connections.
l In the case of the straight through network cable, the indicators at points 1, 8 and G turn
on in sequence. This indicates that the connectivity is fine and core connections are
correct.
l In the case of the crossover cable, the indicators at points 1, 8 and G of the main end turn
on in sequence, and the indicators at points 3, 6, 1, 4, ,5 2, 7, 8 and G of the subsidiary
end turns on in sequence. This indicates that the connectivity of the crossover cable is
proper.
NOTE
Turn the switch to position S to extend the interval for indicators to turn on. In this way, you can observe the
change more accurately. See Figure 3-81.
