2 Installation Preparation
Before installation, plan installation space, build telecommunications rooms, and determine
the installation mode according to requirements of the equipment for running environment.
This ensures that the equipment can be properly installed and commissioned, and then can run
stably. The equipment can run in various environment, and the running environment can be
classified into three types, that is, running environment A, B, and C. This section describes
the three types of environment.
For the requirements for running environment, see NE device Product Description Technical
Specifications and Environmental Requirements.
In environment A, B, and C, installation modes are different. For details on how to choose
equipment installation modes and references, see Table 2-1.

Area The equipment room should be able to house all the devices of the
terminal office at least.
Net height Minimum indoor height refers to the net height under the roof beam or
under the ventilation pipe. Normally it is no less than 3 m.
Item Requirements
Indoor floor The floor of the equipment room should be semi-conductive and not
dust-arousing. Generally, ESD raised floor is required. The floor boards
should be laid tightly and firmly. For each square meter of floor space,
the horizontal tolerance should not be greater than 2 mm. If no raised
floor is available, electrostatic conductive floor material with a volume
resistivity ranging 1.0x107 ohms·cm - 1.0x1010 ohms·cm should be
laid. The electrostatic conductive floor material or the ESD raised floor
should be grounded well. It can be connected to the grounding device
through a current limiting resistor and a connection wire. Resistance of
the current limiting resistor should be 1 megaohm.
NOTICE
If thermal insulation cotton is required under the support for the floor, or an ESD
raised floor is required, do not use the thermal insulation cotton and the ESD
raised floor containing sulfur to prevent devices from being corroded.
Doors and Doors are single-leaf, 2 m high and 1 m wide. All doors and windows
windows should be sealed with dust-proof rubber strips. Double-layer glass is
recommended for windows.
Wall The wall can be covered with wallpaper or lusterless paint, but not the
paint that is apt to get pulverized or peeled.
NOTICE
If organic materials such as soundproof cotton are required, use materials that do
not contain sulfur.
Indoor ducts Indoor ducts are used for cabling. The inside of the ducts should be
smooth and clean. The reserved length and width (margins) as well as
the number, position and size of the holes should comply with the
relevant requirements for placing the optical synchronous transmission
equipment.
Water supply The service pipes, drain pipes and rain pipes should not pass through
and drainage the equipment room. Fire hydrants should not be placed in the
equipment room, but in corridors or the place near the staircase where
they can be easily seen and accessed to.
Waterproof The equipment should be kept away from indoor places with water
requirement sources, such as the air conditioner external units, water pipes, and
ducts.
Internal partition The place where the equipment is installed is separated from the
wall equipment room door. The partition wall can hold back some dusts, as
be shown in Figure 2-2.
Installation The air conditioner should be installed in the place where the
position of the discharged air from the air conditioner shall not be directed to the
air conditioner equipment. The air conditioner must be away from a window to prevent
the air conditioner blowing moisture on the window to devices in the
equipment room when the window is not securely closed.
Item Requirements
Air conditioner
Equipment
Partition wall
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Item Parameter
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.
Table 2-6 shows the requirements for surge protection and grounding.
Item Description
On structure of Build the equipment room with steel and concrete. The equipment room
the equipment should be equipped with facilities such as surge protector to protect it
room against direct lightning strokes. Make sure the surge protection
grounding of the equipment room, or that of devices such as the surge
protector, shares the same grounding body with the protection
grounding of the building where the room is located in.
Item Description
Use TN-S for Equip the communication office with special electric transformers and
AC power metal-jacketed or insulation-jacketed power cable. The power cable is to
supply pass through a steel pipe and buried in the earth before entering the
office. Both ends of both the metal jacket and the steel pipe should be
grounded by proximate. Make sure the buried length is no less than 15
meters. Each of the three live cables at the low-voltage side of the AC
transformer should be equipped with a gapless zinc oxide arrester
respectively. The chassis, the AC neutral cable of the low-voltage side,
and the metal jacket of the cable connected to the chassis should all
proximately grounded.
Equip the Do not lead in or lead out the AC/DC power cables aerially for the
incoming power office. Equip the in-room low-voltage power cable with a surge
cable with a protector in the voltage regulator or in the AC panel. The arrester should
surge protector be grounded proximately. If the office is located in the city, it is
recommended to use an arrester with the nominal discharge current no
less than 20 kA. If it is located in the suburb of intermedial lightning
danger level or higher, an arrester with the surge current higher than 60
kA is recommended. If located in an isolated huge building in the city or
in the mountain area where lightning strokes occur often, please use an
arrester that has a surge current more than 100 kA. The ground cable
should be less than 1 meter in length.
DC power The working ground of the office, that is, the anode of a -48 V DC
supply power supply or the cathode of a 24 V power supply, should be led from
grounding the in-door grounding bus line by proximate. The ground cable should
satisfy the maximum load of the equipment. The power supply facilities
for the office are to possess a DC working neutral line, which is
introduced from the general grounding bus line or the protection ground
bar of the equipment room.
General The AC neutral line cannot be connected to the protection ground of any
requirements on communication equipment. Make sure there is no fuse, switch or other
grounding devices of the like on a grounding line. All grounding lines should be as
short and straightforward as possible. Make all efforts to avoid winding
of them.
Item Description
On the < 10 ohms. The upper end of the grounding body should be 0.7 meters
grounding or more underground. In cold areas, the grounding body should be
resistor buried in the frozen layer or lower. Make regular monitor efforts on the
grounding resistor to make sure the grounding is always valid.
On routing of Signal cables should be led into the communication office from
the signal cable underground. Aerial routing of signal cables is forbidden. The leadin or
leadout communication cable should be metal-jacketed. Otherwise, they
should be routed in metal pipes. The ground cable of the arrester should
be as short as possible. The empty pairs in the cable should be
connected to the protection ground in the equipment room.
On the The general grounding bus line can be grounding loop or bar. The
grounding bus ground cable should be not of aluminum material. If interconnection
line occurs between different metal connectors, take measures to avoid by
electric chemical corrosion. Generally, the cross-sectional area is a
copper bar of no less than 120 mm2 or zinc-plated flat steel of the same
resistance. The grounding bus line should be kept insulated from the
construction steel.
On the The grounding lead-in should be no longer than 30 meter. As for the
grounding lead- material, it is recommended to use zinc plated flat steel with the cross-
in wire sectional area being 40 mm x 4 mm or 50 mm x 5 mm.
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 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 The output noise voltage (measured with a psophometer, plus weighing factors) of the
primary power supply should meet the requirements shown in Table 2-8.
l The primary power supply should be able to automatically shut down the output at a low
voltage.
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.
100V
10V
1V
0.1V T
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Table 2-9 lists requirements for concentration of corrosive gas in installation environment.
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.
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.

Figure 2-5 Recommended air ducts for a network cabinet with natural heat dissipation
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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 shows the 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.
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

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.
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.
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.

This chapter describes the general installation guidelines on unpacking and inspecting
equipment, installing boards, checking optical fiber connections, equipment grounding
regulations, engineering labels, cable routing and bundling, and making and testing cable
connectors.
3.1 Unpacking Inspection
When a project starts, the project supervisor should work with the customer to unpack and
inspect the delivered equipment.
3.2 Installing chassis
The installation modes for chassis vary with installation environment.
3.3 Installing Boards
Generally, the chassis for delivery is installed with boards. If boards need to be delivered
separately, install the boards by following guidelines stated in this chapter.
3.4 Checking Tail Fiber Connection
This section describes how to check the fiber connection by using an optical interface board.
3.5 Grounding Specifications
Suitable grounding helps to avoid accidental personal injury and guarantee the safe running of
the equipment, and provide EMC shielding to improve the quality of service (QoS).
3.6 Engineering Labels

Step 5 Open the carton and take out the chassis box from the carton.
Step 6 Open the chassis box and take out the chassis. Then, check whether the chassis is damaged.
----End
Prerequisites
None
Background Information
Generally, the board has been installed in the chassis properly before delivery and is shipped
together with the chassis. If a carton is used to pack boards for shipping, unpacking and
checking are necessary when the boards arrive at the destination. (Generally, a carton is used
when boards are required for capacity expansion.) The boards are put into shielding bags for
transportation. Take ESD protection measures when you unpack the boards to prevent damage
to them.
Precautions
Electronic circuits and components are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
When handling circuit boards, make sure that you wear a securely grounded ESD wrist strap
or ESD gloves, and only hold the edge of boards during operation.
Procedure
Step 1 Wear a securely grounded ESD wrist strap (or ESD gloves) and make sure that it is securely
grounded. Check the packing box of the board and make sure it is intact without any damage.
Step 2 Cut the straps with diagonal pliers and use a paper knife to split the tape along the seam
between the cover and the box body. See Figure 3-1.

Prerequisites
The fiber must be installed and routed from the optical interface to the ODF.
On the power supply device side, the power switch must be turned on.
Short fiber
Precautions
Avoid direct eye exposure to laser beams when connecting the fiber.
Procedure
Step 1 On the chassis side, remove the fiber that connects to the OUT port of an optical interface
board.
Step 2 Connect the optical power meter to the OUT port of the optical interface through the fiber.
Step 3 Turn on the optical power switch and set the working wavelength according to the optical
interface type. The optical power meter reads that the launched optical power of the optical
interface board is A.
Step 5 On the ODF side, remove the fiber that connects to the OUT port. Connect the fiber to the
optical power meter. The tested optical power is B.
Step 6 Remove the fiber from the corresponding OUT port of the optical interface board. The optical
power meter reads the LO state and receives no optical signals.
l If the deviation between A and B is less than 1 dB, it indicates that the fiber is correctly
connected and the attenuation of the fiber is within the normal range.
l If the deviation between A and B is more than 1 dB, make sure the fiber is fine and
correctly routed, and then check whether the fiber terminal is clean.
If the fiber is connected through a flange, the deviation between A and B should be less than 2
dB. Otherwise, it indicates that the fiber is incorrectly connected and the attenuation of the
fiber is not within the normal range. Make sure that the fiber is fine and correctly routed, and
then check whether the fiber terminal is clean.

Seen from the cabling end of the equipment, the text part of the label is on the right side of the
cable. The side with "TO:" that is facing outside carries the location information of the
opposite end, and the other side carries the location information of the local end. Therefore,
the information in Area 1 at one end is the same as the information in Area 2 at the other end
of the cable, and vice versa. In other words, the local information at one end is called the
opposite information at the other end.
3.6.2.3 Remarks
To use labels, focus on the following points.
l When printing/writing and attaching labels, pay attention to keep the labels clean.
l Since the label paper is made of moistureproof and waterproof material, ink-jet printers
and ink pens are forbidden for printing and writing labels.
l Labels should be attached with good order in alignment.
l Cable ties should be bundled in the same position of power cables, with identification
plates on the same side.
l The positions of "up", "down", "right" or "left" are all based on the viewpoint of the
engineering person who is working on the label.

3. If the warning prompt as shown in Figure 3-11 appears before printing, click Ignore to
continue the printing.
If the printout conforms to the requirement, print it to label paper. If the printout does not
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:
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.
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.
Writing pen
Use the black oiliness markers delivered together with the device to write the labels.
In special cases, black ball-pens are allowed, although not recommended. When writing with
the ball-pen, take care not to leave the oil on the label, which may contaminate the label and
blur the words.
NOTE
The delivered marker has two nibs. Make sure to use the smaller nib to write the labels.
Handwriting
For the sake of easy recognition and good looking, the font in handwriting should be close to
the standard typeface as much as possible.Table 3-8 shows the standard typeface.
9 A B C D E F G H
I J K L M N O P Q
R S T U V W X Y Z
The font size depends on the number of figures and letters. The words must be medium-sized,
legible, tidy and good-looking.
Writing direction
Write the characters in proper size, and the direction is shown in Figure 3-12.

NOTE
In special cases, for example, to avoid cable bent or affecting other cables, other positions are allowed to
attach the labels.
The steps to attach the label to the cable are shown in Figure 3-13 The finished labels should
be on the right or top of the cables, according to different cabling methods. The left part of the
figures shows the method to attach the label when the cable is laid vertically, while the right
part of the figures shows the method to attach the label when the cable is laid horizontally.

The length of the narrow part is based on an external cable diameter of 2.6 mm, after this part
has been stuck to the back of the label, it may not overlap the entire printed part.
After the printed part of the label has been folded, the narrow part of the label should be
covered completely, as shown in Figure 3-13.
Remove the label from the bottom page, then attach it to the identification plate on the cable
tie. The label should be stuck to the rectangular flute, and should be stuck to only one side of
the identification plate. Make sure to attach the labels on the same side of the identification
plates. The cable ties are bundled 2 cm from the connectors, and other positions are allowed
in special circumstances.
Cable ties should be bundled on both ends of a cable. After the bundling, the finished
identification plate should be on top of the cable in horizontal cabling, or on the right side of
the cable in vertical cabling. Make sure the label is facing out, as shown in Figure 3-14.

Table 3-9 shows the information carried on the labels for the DC power cables.
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.
The label on the loaded cabinet The label on the distribution unit
side, which carries the information side, which carries the information
about the position of the cable on about the position of the cable on
the power distribution unit. the loaded cabinet side.
On the loaded cabinet side, the label marked with "A01/B08- -2" on the cable indicates that
the cable is -2 DC supply, which is from the eighth connector on the second row of -48V bus
bar in the cabinet on Row A, and Column 1 in the equipment room.
On the distribution unit side, the label marked with "B03- -2" indicates that the cable is -2 DC
supply, which is from the loaded cabinet on Row B, Column 03 in the equipment room.
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.

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.
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.
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.
To avoid any human-caused accidents, read this chapter carefully before bundling the fiber
jumpers.
3.8.1.1 Architecture

None
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.
Figure 3-78 Metal contact slices with perceptible object, dirt or rust on the surface
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.
See Figure 3-80.

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.
Step 3 Slightly shake the RJ45 connector of the assembled network interface and repeat Step 2.
Make sure that each metal contact slice of the RJ45 connector reliably contacts the core and
contacts the contact point of the female network port of the network cable tester.
