5 Appendix

5.1.1 Cable Assembly Precautions

Checking the Appearance of Cables

l If the cable jacket or insulation is visibly dirty, clean it before assembly.

l If the jacket or insulation of a cable has visible damage, irreparable scuffing, or other

defects, do not use the cable.

l If the shield layer of a cable is damaged, do not use the cable.

l If the cable jacket or insulation cracks after the cable is bent or twisted, discard this cable

and check whether other cables have the same problem. If other cables have the same problem, replace these cables.

Checking the Appearance of Connectors

l Do not use connectors with visible defects, damage, rust or scuffing.

l Do not use connectors if their shells or pins have exposed part or uneven plating, or their

pins are lost, broken, or bent.

l Do not use connectors that have dirt on their pins or in their jacks or if there are

conductors between pins or between pins and the shell.

Precautions for Assembly

l Use dedicated tools or tools delivered by Huawei and follow the methods given here

during assembly.

l Hold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables themselves when installing or

removing cable components.

l Take the following precautions when cutting or stripping cables:

– Make cables slightly longer than necessary.

– Coil cables longer than 2 m (6.56 ft) after cutting. Bind and fasten the coils using

bundling ropes. The inner diameters of the coils should be larger than 20 times the outer diameters of the cables.

Issue 01 (2015-12-12) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

R230D Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide

– When stripping the jackets of cables, avoid damaging the shield layers (braid or

aluminum foil), insulation, core conductors, and other jackets that do not need to be stripped.

– After assembling cables, cut all visible cross sections of jackets to ensure that the

cross sections are arranged neatly.

– Do not touch the core conductors of cables with your hands. Terminate exposed

conductors in a timely way after stripping off insulation so that the surface of the conductors does not become oxidized.

l Take the following precautions when crimping and connecting cables or connectors:

– The terminals and conductors should be connected tightly after they are crimped.

They should not be moved or turned.

– Cut all the exposed copper wires.

– Try to avoid a second crimping of sleeves.

– Keep all the conductors clean and aligned.

NOTE

The connectors, cables, and tools provided by different vendors may be different. The figures in this document are for your reference only.

Checking the Appearance of Contact Strips

Context

l To ensure proper contact between the crimped wires and the wire conductors, the heights

and sizes of the contact strips must be standard and the same.

l The contact strips must be parallel to each other, with an offset of less than ± 5°. The top

margin of a strip must be parallel to the axis of the connector, with an offset of less than ± 10°.

l To ensure conductivity, the surface of the contact strips must be clean.

l The contact strips must be in good contact with the RJ45 socket. The plastic separators

must remain intact and be aligned.

l The contact strip blade must extend beyond the ends of the wires. The ends of the wires

must be in contact with the edge of the RJ45. The distance between them must be less than 0.5 mm (0.02 in.).

Procedure

5 Appendix

Step 1 Hold the crimped connector, with the front side facing you, and check whether the contact

strips are of the same height. The height should be 6.02 ± 0.13 mm (0.237 ± 0.005). If a measuring tool is not available, you can compare the connector with a standard connector.

Figure 5-32 shows an unqualified piece, and Figure 5-33 shows a qualified piece.

NOTE

Procedure

Step 1 Feed both connectors of the cable into the ports of the cable tester.

Step 2 After the connectors are properly inserted, turn on the tester. If the indicators from 1 to G turn

on simultaneously, you can infer that the pins work normally and the wires are correctly connected.

NOTE

Turn the switch to the S position to slow down lighting of the indicators so that you can see the indicators more clearly, as shown in Figure 5-39.

Figure 5-39 Testing the conduction and connections of wires

5 Appendix

Step 3 Gently shake the connector and repeat Step 2 to check whether the metal contact strips are in

good contact with the core wires and Ethernet ports, as shown in Figure 5-40.

Figure 5-40 Checking the reliability

Issue 01 (2015-12-12) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

R230D Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide

The procedure for testing a crossover cable is the same as that for testing a straight-through cable except for the sequence in which the indicators turn on, which depends on the wire connections of a crossover cable.

The Ethernet cable is qualified if the indicators turn on in the following sequence:

At the master (left) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 1-8-G. At the slave (right) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 3-6-1-4-5-2-7-8-G.

If the indicators do not come on in this sequence, the Ethernet cable is unqualified.

NOTE

If a tester is not available, you can use a multimeter to perform a simple test, as shown in Figure 5-41.

5.1.4 Installing Cable Accessories

Precautions for Installing Cable Accessories

Tools

NOTE

The illustrations in this document may differ from actual situations, but the installation methods are the same. For example, in this document, the adapters of cable connectors have separate interfaces. In the actual situation, the adapters may have interfaces fixed on equipment.

Use dedicated tools provided or specified by Huawei and follow the installation procedure described here.

Issue 01 (2015-12-12) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

R230D Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide

Bending Radius

Unless otherwise specified, bending radius (R) of cables or fibers must meet the requirements listed in Table 5-9.

Table 5-9 Bending radius of cables or fibers

5 Appendix

Cable or Fiber

Ordinary cable In normal cases, R ≥ 2d. When the cable is

Fiber R ≥ 40 mm (1.57 in.); Bending angle > 90°

NOTE

The letter d indicates the diameter of a cable or fiber.

Precautions for Installation

l Hold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables themselves when installing or

removing cable components.

l Do not insert a connector forcibly when the connector is blocked. Use a dedicated tool to

pull out the connector. Install the connector again after you check that the pins are inserted properly.

l Before tightening screws on cable connectors, ensure that the connectors are properly

connected to their adapters. Tighten the screw with appropriate force using a flat-head or Phillips screwdriver instead of bare hands or an electric screwdriver. If the screw cannot be screwed into the tapped hole, determine the reason and try again. Do not apply too much force, or the screw or adapter may be damaged.

Bending Radius (R)

connected with a connector, R ≥ 5d.

l When removing densely aligned cables or fiber connectors, use dedicated pliers such as

cable-pulling pliers and fiber-pulling pliers.

l Do not twist, bend, stretch, or extrude fibers during installation.

l Cover the idle fiber connectors with dust caps. Remove the dust caps before using the

fiber connectors.

Requirements for Cable Routing

l To protect cables, remove the burrs in the cable through-holes or install protective rings

in the holes.

l To ease the connection and to avoid stress, keep cable joints slack. After connecting

multiple cables to a connector that has multiple interfaces, keep the cables slack to avoid generating stress.

l Bind or clean cables gently because cable distortion affects signal quality.

l Keep cables away from moveable components such as doors.

l Sharp objects must not touch cable wiring to prevent damage to cables.

l To protect power cables, route power cables of the active and standby power modules

separately.

5.2.1 Environmental Requirements for an Equipment Room

Requirements for Selecting a Site for an Equipment Room

When designing a project, consider the communication network planning and technical requirements of the equipment. Also consider hydrographic, geological, seismic, power supply, and transportation factors.

Construction, structure, heating and ventilation, power supply, lighting and fire-proof construction of the equipment room should be designed by specialized construction designers to suit the environmental requirements of devices. The equipment room should also follow local regulations concerning the industrial construction, environmental protection, fire safety, and civil air defense. Construction must conform to government standards, regulations, and other requirements.

R230D Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide

The equipment room should be located in a place free from high temperature, dust, toxic gases, explosive materials, or unstable voltage. Keep the equipment room away from significant vibrations or loud noises, as well as power transformer stations.

The specific requirements for selecting a site for an equipment room are as follows:

l The room should be located at a distance of at least 5 km (3.11 mi.) from heavy pollution

sources such as smelting and coal mines. It should be located at a distance of at least 3.7 km (2.30 mi.) from moderate pollution sources such as chemical, rubber, and galvanization factories. It should be located at a distance of at least 2 km (1.24 mi.) from light pollution sources such as packinghouses and tanyards. If these pollution sources cannot be avoided, ensure that the equipment room is upwind of the pollution sources. In addition, use a high-quality equipment room or protection products.

l The room should be located away from livestock farms, or be upwind of the livestock

farms. Do not use an old livestock room or fertilizer warehouse as the equipment room.

l The equipment room must be far away from residential areas. An equipment room that is

not far away from residential areas must comply with equipment room construction standards to avoid noise pollution.

l The room should be located far away from industrial and heating boilers.

l The room should be at least 3.7 km (2.30 mi.) away from the seaside or salt lake.

Otherwise, the equipment room should be airtight with cooling facilities. In addition, alkalized soil cannot be used as the construction material. Otherwise, equipment suitable for wet conditions must be used.

l The doors and windows of the equipment room must be kept closed to maintain an

airtight room.

l Using steel doors to ensure sound insulation is recommended.

l No cracks or openings are allowed on the walls or floors. The outlet holes on the walls or

windows must be sealed. Walls must be constructed such that they are smooth, wearresistant, dustproof, flame retardant, sound insulated, heat absorptive, and have electromagnetic shielding.

l The air vent of the room should be far from the exhaust of city waste pipes, big cesspools

and sewage treatment tanks. The room should be in the positive pressure state to prevent corrosive gases from entering the equipment room and corroding components and circuit boards.

l It is recommended that the room be on or above the second floor. If this requirement

cannot be met, the ground for equipment installation in the room should be at least 600 mm (23.62 in,) above the maximum flood level.

l The equipment room should be strong enough to resist winds and downpours.

l The room should be located away from dusty roads or sand. If this is unavoidable, the

doors and windows of the equipment room must not face pollution sources.

l Do not place air conditioning vents near the equipment so that they blow directly on the

equipment because condensation may be blown into the equipment.

l Do not use decorative materials that contain sulfur in the equipment room.

5.2.2 Requirements for Power Supply

Requirements for AC Power Supply

An AC power supply system consists of power mains, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), and self-supplied electric generators. In addition to meeting the requirements of the server load, the AC power supply must have a simple connection line, safe operation, flexible scheduling, and easy maintenance.

The low-voltage power supply should be 3-phase, 5-wire mode or monophase 3-wire mode. This AC power supply should be 110 V/220 V, with a frequency of 50 Hz.

The UPS should supply the same power and operate at the same phase as the power mains. The switching time between the UPS and mains should be less than 10 ms; otherwise, the networking devices will reboot or reset.

For power distribution capacity in the equipment room, both the working current and fault current of the devices should be considered. Ensure that independent AC power supplies

comply with local regulations. Low-voltage power distribution rooms should comply with local regulations.

Recommendations for AC Power Supply

The following are recommendations for the AC power supply.

l If the voltage of the power mains that supply power directly to devices exceeds the rated

voltage by -10% to 5%, or exceeds the voltage range that devices can support, a voltage regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.

l If the mains do not supply power for the device directly, or if the mains voltage exceeds

the rated voltage by -15% to 10% or exceeds the input voltage range of the DC power supply, a voltage regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.

l A UPS or inverter power supply system is required to provide uninterrupted AC power

to support the telecommunication load.

l If abnormalities occur on the mains, telecommunication servers should be equipped with

a self-supplied electric generator to support the key telecommunication load. The capacity should be not less than 150% to 200% of the total uninterruptible power supply.

l Storage batteries are usually installed in a parallel connection of two groups. UPS

storage batteries are generally installed in one group. The redundancy required for the UPS can rely on concatenation or parallel connection. When an inverter or a UPS is used, the active inverter is determined by the maximum power and a backup inverter is required.

1. Try printing on ordinary paper with both sides blank. Place the blank paper over the whole page of the label paper, and check whether the page setup conforms to the label layout.

5 Appendix

2. Make sure the printer properties, such as "paper size" and "direction", have been set correctly.

– If the printout conforms to the sheet of labels, print the labels on the label paper.

– If the printout does not conform, adjust the page setup and try printing again until

the correct printout is produced.

The method for adjusting the page setup is as follows.

1. Select File/Page Setup.

2. Select Layout and set Header and Footer as 0.

3. Select the Margins tab page. Select Left for Gutter Position and adjust the values of Top, Bottom, Left, and Right.

Requirements for Feeding the Printer

The label paper consists of two layers and has undergone multiple processing procedures such as printing and cutting. No matter what model of printer you use, feed in the labels one page at a time. To avoid jamming the labels, never use the auto-feed mode.

Feed in the label paper in the correct direction to ensure that the text is printed in a correct position.

Requirements for the Printed Label

Make sure that the printed labels satisfy the following requirements:

l All the printouts must be on the label, and nothing should be printed on the backing layer

of the label page.

l Contents in the cells should be aligned in the center. In a single-line printout, the

dividing lines and the word "TO:" should not be covered by printed characters.

l When the cells are merged and the printouts are made in multiple lines, avoid covering

the word "TO:" when printing the text. Use the space bar to move the text to the next line.

5 Appendix

Writing Labels

Writing Tools

Font

To make sure the printouts are clear and legible, use black markers instead of ball-point pens to write the labels.

If no marker is available, black ball-point pens are allowed, although not recommended. Compared with ball-point pens, water-proof markers are better. When writing with a ballpoint pen, do not leave the oil on the label, which may contaminate the label and blur the words.

NOTE

The delivered marker has two nibs. Use the smaller nib to write the labels.

For the sake of legibility, use standard block letters and numbers as shown in Table 5-21 (Times New Roman).

Contents of Labels for Power Cables

Labels for power cables are affixed on only one side of the identification plates. On the labels, there is information (the part after the word "TO:") about the location of the device on the other end of the cable, like the location of control cabinet, distribution box or power socket.

Contents of Labels for Signal Cables

The two sides of the label affixed on the signal cable carry information about the location of the ports connected to both ends of the cable. Figure 5-88 shows the information on both sides of the labels affixed to the signal cables.

l Area 1 contains the location information of the local end of the cable.

l Area 2 (with the word "TO:") contains the location information of the opposite end of the

cable.

l Area 3 has been folded up inside the label.

Figure 5-88 Printed parts on the label for signal cables

Issue 01 (2015-12-12) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

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.

R230D Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide

In other words, the information in Area 1 at one end is the same as the information in Area 2 at the other end of the cable.

Precautions for Using Engineering Labels

When using labels, pay attention to the following points:

l When printing, writing, or attaching labels, keep the labels clean.

l Since the label paper is made of moistureproof material, ink-jet printers and ink pens

cannot be used to print and write labels.

l Labels should be attached neatly. New-type labels are L-shaped. If they are pasted at

incorrect locations or in the incorrect direction, the appearance of the device is affected.

l Power cable ties should be attached in the same positions on power cables, with

identification plates on the same side.

l The positions of "up", "down", "left" or "right" are all based on the viewpoint of the

engineering person who is working on the label.

Engineering Labels for DC Power Cables

These labels are affixed to the DC power cables that provide power supply for cabinets, including the -48 V, PGND, and BGND cables. Here, the DC power cables also include power cables and PGND cables.

The labels for DC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties. For details of the labels, see Table 5-26.

Table 5-26 Contents of the label

5 Appendix

Content

MN(BC)B--48Vn

MN(BC)-BBGND

Meaning

MN(BC): BC is written right under MN.

B: chassis number, numbered in bottom-up order with two digits, for example, 01.

N: power socket number, numbered as 1 to 3 in the bottom-up and leftto-right orders.

MN(BC)-BPGND

On the loaded cabinet side, only MN is used to identify the cabinet.

On the power cabinet side, MN identifies the row and column number of the power distribution equipment like a control cabinet and distribution box, and BC identifies the row and column number of the

-48 V connector. If there is no row number or column number, or the connector can be identified without them, BC can be omitted. It is unnecessary to identify the row and column number for BGND and PGND.

The label only carries location information about the destination direction of the power cable whereas information about the local end is unnecessary. That is, the label only carries location information about the opposite equipment, the control cabinet, or the distribution box. Table

5-26 lists the information on two -48 V power supplies on the label. The information on other

DC voltages, such as 24 V and 60 V should be given in similar methods.

Make sure that labels are affixed in the 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. For details, see Figure 5-93.

Figure 5-93 Example of the labels for DC power cables

Issue 01 (2015-12-12) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

R230D Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide

The meaning of the label in Figure 5-93 is as follows:

l On the loaded cabinet side, the label "A01/B08--48V2" on the cable indicates that the

cable is -48 V DC supply, which is from the eighth connector in row B of -48 V bus bar in the cabinet in row A, and column 1 in the equipment room.

l On the distribution box side, the label "B03--48V2" indicates that the cable is -48 V DC

supply, connected to DC power socket 2 in row B, column 03 in the equipment room.

NOTE

In the power distribution box or the first power cabinet of a row in a transmission equipment room, every terminal block on the -48 V 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.

PGND and BGND are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are short-circuited. Therefore, it makes no difference which terminal is connected to them. It is only necessary to give the row and column of the power distribution box, 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 box in row A, column 01 in the machine room. Information on the labels for PGND cables should be given in a similar way.

5 Appendix

Engineering Labels for AC Power Cables

These labels are affixed to both ends of an AC power cable that provides AC power supply to cabinets, including 110/220 V, PGND, and BGND cables. The 110/220 V AC cables and related PGND and BGND cables are covered with an insulating sheath, so the labels need to contain only the word "AC" and the cabinet numbers.

The labels for AC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties. For details, see Table 5-27.

Table 5-27 Label content

Content

MN-(B)-ACn MN: serial number of the cabinet or the socket where the power is led

Meaning

B: chassis number, numbered in bottom-up order with two digits, for example, 01.

n: power port number, numbered as 1 to 3 in bottom-up and left-to-right order.

Serial number of the socket where the power is led in: the location of the socket is marked according to the actual situation. If the sockets can be identified by row numbers and column numbers, they can be numbered following the same rule for the cabinets. If the sockets cannot be identified by rows and columns, specify the detailed locations to avoid confusion with other sockets.

The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment and the power socket; information about the local end is unnecessary.

5.5 Guide to Using Optical Modules

Common Faults of an Optical Module

NOTE

The system may fail to obtain information about non-Huawei-certified optical modules or obtain incorrect information. You are advised to use Huawei-certified optical modules. Obtain the electronic label of the optical module and contact technical support personnel to confirm whether it is a Huawei-certified optical module.

1. An optical module is not completely installed in position.

If the optical module is not completely installed in position and the latch boss is not secured, the device cannot identify the optical module. After the optical module works for a long time, it will be ejected under external stress.

2. The optical receptacle on an optical module is contaminated.

If an optical module is not cleaned or protected properly, contaminants may accumulate on the fiber pin in the optical module. As a result, the coupling efficiency is reduced, optical signals are cut off, or even worse, the surface of the fiber pin is damaged permanently.

3. An optical module is burnt.

If high-power optical signals (caused by an optical time domain reflectometer or selfloop test) are transmitted through an optical module that is used for long-distance transmission but no optical attenuator is used, the optical power will exceed the overload power of the avalanche photodiode (APD). Then the optical module is burnt.

R230D Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide

The preceding faults lead to temporary or long-term cut-off of optical signals; or even cause permanent damages to the optical module, affecting communication services.

Measures to Prevent a Loosened Optical Module

1. When installing an optical module, insert it in position. If you hear a click or feel a slight shake, it indicates that the latch boss is secured.

If the latch boss is not secured, the gold finger of the optical module is not in good contact with the connector on the board. In this case, the link may be connected but optical signals will be cut off or the optical module will be loosened when the optical module is shaken or hit.

2. Figure 5-95 shows the release handle on an optical module when it is open and closed. When inserting the optical module, make sure that the release handle is closed. At this time, the latch boss locks the optical module. After the optical module is inserted, try pulling it out to see if it is installed in position. If the optical module cannot be pulled out, it is secured.

Measures to Prevent Receptacle Contamination

1. Cleaning tissues must be prepared on site. You need to clean the optical connector before inserting it in the receptacle. This protects the receptacle against contamination on the surface of the optical connector.

Figure 5-96 Cleaning optical fibers with special cleaning tissues

Issue 01 (2015-12-12) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

NOTE

Place at least three cleaning tissues on the work bench. As shown in Figure 5-96, wipe the end of an optical connector from left to right or from right to left on a cleaning tissue, and then move the connector end to the unused part of the cleaning tissue to continue.

2. Cover an unused optical module with a protective cap to prevent dust, as shown in

Figure 5-97.

Figure 5-97 Installing a protective cap

If no protective cap is available, use fibers to protect the optical module, as shown in

Figure 5-98.

5 Appendix

Figure 5-98 Using fibers to protect an optical module

3. Cover unused optical connectors with protective caps, as shown in Figure 5-99, and then lay out fibers on the fiber rack or coil them in a fiber management tray to prevent fibers from being squeezed.

Figure 5-99 Installing a protective cap on a fiber

4. If a receptacle or an optical connector has not been used for a long time and is not covered with a protective cap, you need to clean it before using it. Clean a receptacle with a cotton swab, as shown in Figure 5-100. Clean an optical connector with cleaning

R230D Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide

Figure 5-100 Cleaning a receptacle with a cotton swab

NOTICE

When cleaning a receptacle, insert the cotton swab and turn it slowly in the receptacle. Do not use too much strength because the receptacle may be damaged.

5 Appendix

5. If optical signals are lost during the operation of a device, use the preceding method to clean the receptacle or the optical connector. In this manner, the possibility of contamination can be excluded.

Measures to Prevent an Optical Module from Being Burnt

1. Before using an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) to test the connectivity or the attenuation of optical signals, disconnect the optical fibers from the optical module. Otherwise, the optical module will be burnt.

2. When performing a self-loop test, use an optical attenuator. Do not loosen the optical connector instead of the optical attenuator.

Precautions

1. The optical connector should be vertically inserted in the receptacle to avoid damages to the receptacle.

2. Fibers must be inserted into optical modules of the corresponding type. That is, multimode fibers must be inserted into multimode optical modules, and single mode fibers must be inserted into single mode optical modules. If a fiber is inserted into an optical module of a different mode, faults may occur. For example, optical signals will be lost.
