high-density rooms and complex wall structures, such as schools, hotels, hospitals, and office
meeting rooms. Huawei R250D-E uses an 86 mm plate in compliance with international
standards and can be easily installed into an 86–type box in a room. It is equipped with a
built-in antenna and a hidden indicator; therefore, installation of the R250D-E does not affect
indoor decorations or designs. It also has an IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ac Wave 2 wireless
module and can work on both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands. It supports PoE power
supply, and can be directly connected to a central AP and deployed in a room. The central AP
and the R250D-E are connected through network cables, which greatly extends the coverage
range, enhances flexibility in AP deployment and planning, and reduces the engineering
construction costs.

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.

NOTE
The letter d indicates the diameter of a cable or fiber.
Precautions for Installation
lHold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables themselves when installing or
removing cable components.
lDo not insert a connector forcibly when the connector is blocked. Use a dedicated tool to
pull out the connector
inserted properly.
lBefore 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.
lWhen removing densely aligned cables or fiber connectors, use dedicated pliers such as
cable-pulling pliers and fiber-pulling pliers.
lDo not twist, bend, stretch, or extrude fibers during installation.
lCover the idle fiber connectors with dust caps. Remove the dust caps before using the
fiber connectors.

Requirements for Cable Routing
lTo protect cables, remove the burrs in the cable through-holes or install protective rings
in the holes.
lTo 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.
lBind or clean cables gently because cable distortion affects signal quality.
lKeep cables away from moveable components such as doors.
lSharp objects must not touch cable wiring to prevent damage to cables.
lTo protect power cables, route power cables of the active and standby power modules
separately.

Engineering Labels for DC Power Cables
5 Appendix
These labels are af
fixed 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
ContentMeaning
MN(BC)B--48Vn
MN(BC)-BBGND
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.

Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
5 Appendix
The meaning of the label in Figur
e 5-93 is as follows:
lOn 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.
lOn 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 dif
ference 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.
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
ContentMeaning
MN-(B)-ACnMN: serial number of the cabinet or the socket where the power is led
in
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

Common Faults of an Optical Module
NOTE
The system may fail to obtain information about non-Huawei-certified optical modules or obtain incorrect
information. Y
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.
ou are advised to use Huawei-certified optical modules. Obtain the electronic label of the
