Procedure
Step 1 Build a concrete pad.
NOTE

l The height of the concrete pad must meet the heat dissipation and waterproofing requirements of the cabinet.
l The concrete pad must be at least 200 mm above the floor.
l The horizontal error of the built concrete pad must be less than 5 mm.

Step 2 Determine the position for installing a base.


1.

Determine the position for installing the cabinet according to the engineering design and
Installation Clearance Requirements for the BTS3900A.

2.

Mark the anchor points on the concrete pad to determine the position for installing the base,
as shown by the red circles in Figure 7-1.

7 Installing a Base

Use a hammer drill with bit 16 to drill holes at the anchor points and confirm that the depth
of each hole ranges from 52 mm to 60 mm.

NOTICE
l Do not use the base as a positioning tool when drilling. Otherwise, the paint on the base
may be scratched.
l To prevent inhalation or eye contact with dust, take adequate preventive measures when
drilling holes.
2.

Use a vacuum cleaner to clear the dust inside and around the holes. if the inter-hole spacing
is too wide or too narrow, locate and drill holes again.

3.

Tighten the expansion bolts slightly and place one vertically into each hole.

4.

Use a rubber mallet to hammer the expansion bolt until the expansion tube is buried into
the hole, and then tighten the bolt.

5.

Remove the bolts, spring washers, and flat washers by turning them counterclockwise.

NOTICE
After dismantling an expansion bolt, ensure that the top of the expansion tube is on the
same level as the concrete floor. Otherwise, the cabinet cannot be installed on the concrete
floor evenly and securely.
Step 4 Place the base in the correct position, and then install the bolt with the spring washer and flat
washer, as shown in Figure 7-3.
Figure 7-3 Installing the base in the correct position

Step 5 Use a level to check whether the base is level with the horizontal plane. If the base is not level,
use spacers to adjust the base, as shown in Figure 7-4.

11.5 Installing CPRI Electrical Cables


CPRI electrical cables connect the RFUs to the BBU and transmits the CPRI signals between
the RFUs and BBU.

Context
If boards and modules are installed in a cabinet before delivery, the CPRI electrical cables are
also installed in the cabinet before delivery. The CPRI electrical cables between cabinets must
be installed onsite.
NOTE

CPRI electrical cables are connected in different ways depending on site configurations, and this section only
provides the procedures of how to install the CPRI electrical cables as an example. For details, see section "CPRI
Cable Connections" in the related hardware description.

Procedure
Step 1 Remove the dustproof bag from the connector at each end of the CPRI electrical cable.
Step 2 Insert the SFP connectors at one end of CPRI electrical cables into the CPRI port on the BBU
panel.
Step 3 Lay out the cables according to Figure 11-18 and Figure 11-19.

13.2 Installing Power Cables


This chapter describes the procedure and precautions for installing the input power cables and
other power cables for the added cabinets.

13.2.1 Installing IBBS200D/IBBS200T Power Cables


IBBS200D/IBBS200T power cables include the power cable for the batteries, power cable for
the fan in the IBBS200D, heating-film power cable in the IBBS200D, and power cable for the
TEC in the IBBS200T. The power cables feed power from an APM30, APM30H (Ver.A),
APM30H (Ver.B), or APM30H (Ver.C) into an IBBS200D (Ver.D) or IBBS200T (Ver.D). The
power cables are delivered with the IBBS200D (Ver.D) or IBBS200T (Ver.D).

Prerequisites
l

A Phillips screwdriver, a cable cutter, and a multi-purpose crimping tool are available.

The equipotential cable has been installed.

Context

Procedure
Step 1 Prepare the cables.
1.

Determine the power cables to be prepared and installed according to the type of the battery
cabinet (IBBS200D or IBBS200T) in a base station and based on Table 13-8.

2.

Cut the cables to a length suitable for the cable route.

3.

Install the connectors at both ends of the cables according to the instructions in the following
sections:
l Assembling the Tool-Less Female Connector (Pressfit Type) and the Power Cable(1)
l Assembling the OT Terminal and the Power Cable
l Assembling the EPC4 Connector and the Power Cable

Step 2 Install power cables for the batteries.


1.

Ensure that the circuit breaker BAT for the batteries on the EPU in the APM30H (Ver.D)
is set to OFF.

2.

Ensure that the circuit breaker for the batteries in the BBC, IBBS200T (Ver.A), IBBS200D
(Ver.B), IBBS200T (Ver.B), IBBS200D (Ver.C), or IBBS200T (Ver.C) is set to OFF.

3.

Ensure that the circuit breaker BAT for the batteries on the power distribution box in the
IBBS200D (Ver.D) is set to OFF.

4.

Connect one end of the power cables to the corresponding ports on the BBC, IBBS200T
(Ver.A), IBBS200D (Ver.B), IBBS200T (Ver.B), IBBS200D (Ver.C), or IBBS200T
(Ver.C).
l When the BBC is stacked on the IBBS200D (Ver.D), connect one end of the power
cables to the input power wiring terminal of the positive and negative pole of the battery
group in the BBC, as shown Figure 13-13.
l When the IBBS200T (Ver.D) is stacked on the IBBS200T (Ver.A), connect one end of
the power cables to the positive and negative wiring copper bars on the junction box in
the IBBS200T (Ver.A), as shown in Figure 13-14.
l When the IBBS200D (Ver.D) or IBBS200T (Ver.D) is stacked on the IBBS200D
(Ver.B) or IBBS200T (Ver.B), connect one end of the power cables to the RTN(+) and
NEG(-) ports near the BAT silkscreen on the power distribution box in the IBBS200D
(Ver.B) or IBBS200T (Ver.B), as shown in Figure 13-15.
l When the IBBS200D (Ver.D) or IBBS200T (Ver.D) is stacked on the IBBS200D
(Ver.C) or IBBS200T (Ver.C), connect one end of the power cables to the RTN(+) and
NEG(-) ports near the BAT silkscreen on the power distribution box in the IBBS200D
(Ver.C) or IBBS200T (Ver.C), as shown in Figure 13-15.
NOTE

Before installing the power cables, remove the protection hood from the DC input wiring terminal
block in the power distribution box. After the cables are installed, reinstall the protection hood.

NOTE

l Lay out the cables according to the figure corresponding to the onsite scenario. Ensure that the CPRI electrical
cables are routed to RFUs through cable trays between the RFCs.
l When laying out the cables, use cable ties to bind the cables from the upper cabling teeth to the lower cabling
teeth on the binding bracket and ensure that the heads of the cable ties face outwards, as shown in Figure
13-42.

Context

DANGER
l During the installation, avoid any contact between the exposed metal conductors in the power
cables and the metal housing of the cabinet.
l During the installation, avoid short circuits or reverse connections between the positive and
negative poles of the batteries.
l All tools used for installation must be insulated to avoid burning of batteries and to ensure
personal safety.
This section describes the procedure and precautions for installing batteries in an IBBS200D or
IBBS200T. For the procedure for installing batteries in an IBBS700D/IBBS700T, see Installing
Storage Batteries in the IBBS700D or IBBS700T in IBBS700D&IBBS700T User Guide.

Procedure
Step 1 Check that the power input and output switches for the batteries are turned off to avoid
overcurrent. The correct positions of the switches are shown by 1 and 2 in Figure 13-43.
Figure 13-43 Power switches for a storage battery

(1) BAT circuit breaker on the panel of the EPU in the (2) BAT_SW0 and BAT_SW1 circuit breakers on the
APM30H
power distribution box in the battery cabinet

Step 2 Install the storage batteries from bottom to top and from left to right, as shown in Figure
13-44.
NOTE

Slide the storage batteries along the guide rails into the cabinet so that some spacing remains between them.

14.2 Installing Power Cables


This chapter describes the procedure and precautions for installing the input power cables and
other power cables for the added cabinets.

14.2.1 Installing an APM30H Input Power Cable


An APM30H input power cable connects the external power equipment and input wiring
terminals on the EPU, feeding external power into the cabinet in a BTS3900A.

Prerequisites
l

The following tools are available: a Phillips screwdriver, a torque screwdriver, a cable
cutter, and a multi-purpose crimping tool.

The PGND cable has been installed.

Before the cabinets in a BTS3900A are delivered, boards and power cables inside the
cabinets have been installed. The external input power cables need to be installed onsite.

Colors and structures of cables vary in different regions. If cables are purchased at local
markets, they must comply with local rules and regulations.

Contact Huawei engineers when any of the following situations occurs:

Context

The cable and connectors prepared by customers are used.


The fixed-length cable is cut into proper length.
The power supply to the BTS3900A cabinet (AC) can be 220 V AC three-phase, 220 V AC
single-phase, or 110 V dual-live-wire power. Table 14-8 lists the specifications of the APM30H
input power cable delivered by default in different power supply scenarios.

according to the instructions in Table 16-1.
Table 16-1 Troubleshooting
Failure Type

Handling Measures

Power supply failure in


all internal components
of the cabinet

Check whether the input power cables for the battery cabinet are
connected properly.
l If the cables are not connected correctly, set all the power
switches to OFF, and then reconnect the power cables.
l If the cables are connected correctly, replace the EPU.

Failure in the power


supply to a board in the
cabinet

Check as follows:
1. Remove the board, and check whether any pin of the slot on
the backplane is bent, broken, or missing. Replace the subrack
if necessary.
2. Insert the board into the subrack again, and check the status of
indicators on the board.
3. If the indicators indicate an exception, remove the board, insert
it into a vacant slot holding the boards of the same type, and
check the status of the indicators again.
l If the board works properly, the original slot is faulty. In
this case, replace the subrack.
l If the fault persists, the board is faulty. In this case, replace
the board.

Handling Measures

Failure in the power


supply to other
components in the
cabinet

Check as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block that
connects power supply to the component is on. (Skip this step
and go to 2 if this component does not use any fuse terminal
block.)
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the fuse is
faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according to the
instructions in Replacing a Fuse.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go to 2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the component.
l If the input power is normal, replace the component.
l If the input power is abnormal, check whether the power
cable for the component is connected securely. If the power
cable is not connected securely, turn off the power switch
for the component (if there is no power switch for the
component, remove the connector on the power cable) and
reconnect the power cable. If the power cable is connected
securely, the power switch or fuse for the component may
be faulty. In this case, replace the power switch or fuse.
