4.2 Connections of Power Cables and PGND Cables

This section describes the connections of power cables and PGND cables between a BSC6900
cabinet and the PDF and the connections of inter-cabinet PGND cables.
Figure 4-1 shows the connections of cabinet power cables and PGND cables.
Figure 4-1 Connections of power cables and PGND cables
NOTE
In each cabinet, A1 and B1 form a pair of active and standby power supply ports, as do A3 and B3. As
shown in the preceding figure, to create a hot backup, connect ports A1 and A3 to one power supply group
in the PDF, and ports B1 and B3 to a different power supply group.
Connect the PGND cables for a cabinet to the nearest ground bar. If the PDF is located a great distance
from the cabinet (for example, they are not in the same equipment room), connect the PGND cables to the
nearest ground bar that is co-grounded with the PDF instead of connecting them directly to the PDF. In
this case, the methods of installing and routing PGND cables are the same as those of connecting PGND
cables directly to the PDF. In practice, PGND cables must be connected based on customer requirements.
4.3 Principles for Installing Power Cables and PGND

Cables
This section describes the principles for installing power cables and PGND cables. When you
install power cables and PGND cables, follow the routing and binding principles.
Minimum Bending Radius of Power Cables

Table 4-2 lists the requirements for bending radius of power cables.

Installation Guide
Table 4-2 Bending radius of power cables

Cross-Sectional Area (mm2)
Radius
25
50 mm or larger
35
55 mm or larger
Cable Layout Requirements

l
Lay out power cables and PGND cables with future capacity expansion in mind.
When laying out power cables and PGND cables, separate them from signal cables. Lay
out power cables along outer columns. When you lay out power cables and PGND cables
parallel to signal cables, the space between them must be at least 30 mm.
The bending radius of a cable must be five times larger than the diameter of the cable.
When using the underfloor cabling mode, reserve a surplus length of power cable outside
the cable inlet of the power distribution box on the top of the cabinet. This facilitates the
installation of terminals. In addition, lay out cables flat on the top of the cabinet.
When connecting power cables to the terminals on the power distribution box, lay out the
cables straightly and smoothly.
Cable Binding Requirements

l
When binding power cables and PGND cables, separate them from signal cables.
Keep a 200 mm space between cable ties.
When using the underfloor cabling mode, route the power cables and PGND cables along
the middle standing pillar on the front right side of the cabinet.
Select the appropriate cable ties, either 150 mm or 300 mm according to the diameter and
number of cables.
Bind the cable ties in the same direction. Cut any excess from the cable ties, cutting surfaces
smoothly without sharp edges.
4.4 Installing Power Cables and PGND Cables Between a

BSC6900 Cabinet and the PDF
This section describes how to install power cables and PGND cables for BSC6900 cabinets in
both overhead cabling and underfloor cabling modes.
4.4.1 Installing Power Cables and PGND cable Between the

BSC6900 and the PDF in Overhead Cabling Mode
This section describes how to install power cables and PGND cable between a cabinet and the
PDF in overhead cabling mode.
Issue 01 (2015-03-25)

Installation Guide
Prerequisites
l
The cabinet to be connected with power cables and PGND cable has been installed.
On the PDF, the power distribution switches for the relevant output terminals have been
set to OFF.
All power distribution switches on the power distribution box have been set to OFF.
Power cables and PGND cable are available.
The materials required for the installation are available. The materials include cable ties,
wax strings, and PVC insulation tape.
The tools required for the installation are available. These tools include a handsaw, a cable
cutter, a wrench, a Phillips screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, an electric Phillips
screwdriver (> 5 Nm = 44.25 lbfin.), diagonal pliers, and hydraulic pliers.
Context
If you are using the overhead cabling mode, route the cables from the PDF through the upper
cable hole into the cable tray and then to the top of each cabinet along the cable tray. Figure
4-2 shows how to install power cables and PGND cable between a cabinet and the PDF in
overhead cabling mode.
Figure 4-2 Installing power cables and PGND cable in overhead cabling mode
Procedure
Step 1 Determine the length of each power cable and PGND cable by referring to the related engineering
design documents or by measuring the actual cabling route.
Step 2 Uncoil the power cable roll and the PGND cable roll onsite. Measure an appropriate length of
cables with a measuring tape or other measuring tools. Then, cut the cables with a cable cutter
(KT35) or a handsaw with 0.8 mm of teeth space. When cutting the cables, leave sufficient slack.
Issue 01 (2015-03-25)

BSC6900 UMTS
Installation Guide
NOTICE
If you find the slack insufficient, replace the cables. Do not make connectors or solder joints.
Step 3 Attach temporary labels to both ends of the cables. The contents on these temporary labels are
not necessarily the same as those on the formal labels because they are only for easy
identification.
Step 4 Lay out power cables and PGND cable between a cabinet and the PDF. Routed the power cables
from the PDF through the upper cable hole into the cable tray and then to the top of each
cabinet along the cable tray.
NOTE
l If the space between a cable tray and the top of a cabinet exceeds 800 mm, use a cable ladder to facilitate
the cable layout.
l The bending radius of a cable must be five times larger than the diameter of the cable.
Step 5 Connect the power cables and PGND cable for the cabinet.

subrack, do not insert a board into or remove a board from the subrack to avoid static damage
to boards.
Procedure
Step 1 Set the corresponding output switches on the PDF and all the output switches on the power
distribution box to OFF.
Step 2 Use the multimeter to measure the resistance at the power output terminal for the PDF and at
the input and output terminals for the power distribution box. Ensure that short-circuiting does
not occur either between the -48 V working power and the RTN working ground or between the
-48 V working power and the PGND protection ground.
Issue 01 (2015-03-25)

22
BSC6900 UMTS
Installation Guide
Step 3 Set the output switches on the PDF to ON and all the output switches on the power distribution
box to OFF.
Then, the power distribution box starts self-check. (The RUN and ALM indicators on the power
distribution box are on and the buzzer sounds.) After the self-check, the power distribution box
requests registering at the SCUb board (the RUN indicator on the power distribution box blinks
at 2 Hz) until the registration is successful (the RUN indicator blinks at 0.5 Hz). For details about
the indicators on the power distribution box, see Indicators on the Power Distribution Box.
Step 4 Set the multimeter to the voltage scale. Use the multimeter to measure the output voltage of the
PDF or the input voltage of the power distribution box. Ensure that the voltages range from -40
V to -57 V.
Step 5 Set the corresponding two switches on the power distribution box to ON.
Step 6 Set the multimeter to the voltage scale. Use the multimeter to check whether the output power
provided by the power distribution box for each subrack ranges from -40 V to -57 V. Check
whether the fan assembly in the subrack can be normally started and whether the power supply
to the boards in the subrack is normal.
l If a subrack is powered on and started normally, the green STATUS indicator on the panel
of the fan assembly blinks. If exceptions occur, turn off the switches on the power distribution
box and the PDF immediately. Check whether the output voltage of the power distribution
box is normal and the power cables are installed correctly. For details about the indicators
on the fan assembly, see Indicators on the Fan Assembly.
l If a subrack is powered on and started normally, the RUN indicator on the board panel is ON
or blinks. If all the indicators on a board are OFF, the board or its slot may be faulty. Contact
Huawei technical support to resolve this problem.
l If indicators on all the boards in a subrack are OFF, turn off the switches on the power
distribution box and the PDF immediately. Check whether the output voltage of the power
distribution box is normal and the power cables are installed correctly.
Step 7 Repeat Step 5 to Step 6 to check the power supply to all the subracks in one cabinet.
Step 8 Repeat Step 1 to Step 7 to measure the power supply to each cabinet.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
Record the power-on check results in 12 Installation Records. Set the corresponding output
switches on the PDF and all the output switches on the power distribution box to OFF.

8.2 Principles of Installing Signal Cables

This section describes principles of installing signal cables. The principles involve minimum
bending radius, cable layout, cable routing, and cable binding.
Principles of Installing Signal Cables

When installing signal cables, take the following precautions:
l
Optical cables should not be stretched roughly or stepped on, and heavy objects should not
be placed on the cable to avoid damage.
Optical connectors not in use must be covered with a dustproof cap.
If connectors of signal cables are made before delivery, pack the connectors with soft and
durable materials such as a packing bag during cabling.
Protect jackets of signal cables from being damaged during the routing.
When coiling the extra length of optical cables on the fiber management tray, apply proper
force to avoid damaging the optical.
The actual installation positions must meet the requirements of site survey and data
configuration.
When installing the signal cables, you should route the extra length of the interconnection
cables on both sides of the cabinet according to the requirement for the bending radius of
the cables.
The related operation guide is intended for only the installation method. The actual
installation position of cables should meet the requirements of site survey and should be
consistent with the data configuration scheme.
Minimum Bending Radius

The bending radius of the signal cable meets the requirements of all types of cables. Table
8-2 lists the bending radius of the signal cables.

NOTE
The port does not require a signal cable

system runs properly. Therefore,
equipment security is not affected.
Signal cable of the alarm box
Not less than 25 mm
Principles of Routing the Signal Cables

To facilitate maintenance and capacity expansion, follow these principles when routing cables.
The layout sequence in overhead and underfloor cabling modes must be the same.
l
The cables can be routed either on the front side first or on the rear side first. The cables
meant for the front of the cabinet must be laid only in the front side of the cabinet. Follow
the same principle for the cables meant for the rear of the cabinet.
whereas routing the cables at the back of the cabinet, you should route the E1/T1 cables
before routing the optical cables.
Requirements of Routing the Signal Cables

The requirements for routing signal cables are as follows:
l
Protect the jackets of the signal cables from being damaged during the routing.
Hold the connector when plugging out the signal cables to protect the signal cable from
damage.
When installing the signal cables, you should route the extra length of the interconnection
cables on both sides of the cabinet according to the requirement for the bending radius of
the cables.
For combined cabinets, the extra signal cable in front of the cabinet should be routed along
the cable ladder or at one side of the cabinet. It should not be placed in the gap between the
combined cabinets.
The signal cables must be separated from the power cables.
The bending radius of the signal cable satisfies the requirements of all kinds of cables.
Table 8-2 lists the bending radius of the signal cables.
Extra length of the signal cable should be reserved near the connector.
The signal cables must be neatly laid in the rack, according to the engineering design.
If the height difference between the cable tray and the top of the cabinet exceeds 800 mm,
a vertical cable ladder must be used. The signal cables and the lower part of the downward
cable ladder must be bound together.
The routing should be in accordance with the engineering design.
The cabling is clear, proper, and smooth at the bends. The cables are laid in parallel.
The signal cables layout facilitates maintenance and future expansion.

Requirements of Binding the Signal Cables

The requirements of binding the signal cables are as follows:
l
The signal cables and power cables must be bound separately. The spacing between cable
ties must be at least 150 mm.
The twine for binding the cables must be coated with wax.
The signal cables must be bound at the entrance and exit of the cable trough and at the
turning points, as shown in Figure 8-1.
Figure 8-1 Bending and binding signal cables
The optical cables must be neatly bound in pairs.
The cables on the cable tray must be bound neatly.
The cable ties must face the same direction and be tied with proper tightness.
The cable ties must be placed at regular intervals, 200 mm for E1/T1 cables , and 150 mm
for optical cables.
The extra length of the cable ties must be cut and the cut surface must be smooth.
8.3 Installing the Clock Signal Cables

The clock signal cables refer to the Y-shaped clock signal cable, line clock signal cable and the
BITS clock signal cable.
8.3.1 Installing the Y-Shaped Clock Cables

This section describes how to install the Y-shaped clock cables between the GCUa/GCUb/
GCGa/GCGb board in the MPS and the SCUa/SCUb board in the EPS. When a new site is
deployed, the Y-shaped clock cables are already installed on the MPR cabinet configured with
two or three subracks. When the capacity of a site is expanded, the Y-shaped clock cables need
to be installed on site.
