3.6 Thunderstorm

Danger:

Never work on high-voltage and AC or work on steel towers and masts in


thunderstorms.

Thunderstorms generate powerful electromagnetic fields in air. Ground the equipment


properly to avoid thunder stroke.

3.7 Static Electricity

Caution:

Static electricity generated on human body may damage the electrostatic-sensitive


parts on the circuit board, such as large-scale integrated circuit (IC).

z In dry climate, the electrostatic charge carried by the human body may be up to
30 kV. The charge may remain on the human body for rather a long period.
When an operator with electrostatic charge contacts a part, the electric discharge
may damage the part.
z Before contacting any equipment, hand-held plug-in boards, circuit boards or IC
chips, put on an anti-static wrist strap with one end well grounded to protect
sensitive parts from static electricity on your body.
z Before touching any board or module, discharge the static electricity in your body
by wearing an anti-static wrist strap.
z Add a resistance over 1M between the strap and the grounding point to protect
yourself from electric shock. The resistance over 1M is reliable in terms of
electrostatic voltage discharging. Check the anti-static wrist strap regularly.
Never replace the cable of the anti-static wrist strap with other cables.
z Prevent electrostatic-sensitive boards or modules from touching the object with
static electricity or the object that may easily generate static electricity. For

BBU3806 WCDMA Base Band Unit Safety Precautions

example, when rubbing on an object of insulating materials such as packing and


conveyer, an electrostatic-sensitive part takes electric charge. When touching a
human body or connect to the ground, the discharge may damage the part.
z Electrostatic-sensitive boards or modules can only contact good conductors,
such as anti-static packing bags. Pack the board with an anti-static bag for stock
or transport.
z Before connecting any measurement device to boards or modules, ground it to
discharge its static electricity.
z Do not place boards or modules near strong DC magnetic field, for example, the
cathode ray tube of a scope. Keep the distance at 10 cm at least.
z The damage caused by static electricity is accumulative in effect. If the damage
is slight, the part does not fail. However, as the damage occurs repeatedly, the
part may suddenly fail. The electrostatic discharging damage on the part may be
explicit or implicit. The implicit damage is not visible. However, it makes the part
vulnerable to over-voltage and high-temperature.

Smoke alarm The system monitors smoke and fire inside the equipment
room in real time.
Control over the z Automatic charge: When the battery monitoring circuit
power supply and detects that the battery runs low, the system charges
standby power supply the battery automatically.
z Charge protection: When the power supply is
abnormal or the charging current is too large, the
system protects the battery.
z Discharge protection: The system cuts off battery load
when the battery voltage decreases to an extent that
might harm the service life of the battery.
Upon mains failure, NodeB switches to battery for power
supply. When mains supply recovers, it can switch back
to mains for power supply and charge the battery to fill the
released electric energy.

6.5.2 Connecting E1/T1 Cable

The DB9 male connector connects to the E1/T1 port of BBU3806, and the SMB
female connector to the peer end.

Connect the E1/T1 cable by following the principles below:


z The TX end of the trunk cable from BBU3806 must connect to the RX end of the
cable from the peer end.
z The RX end of the trunk cable from BBU3806 must connect to the TX end of the
cable from the peer end.
z Connections between E1 cables from BBU3806 and its peer end depend on
specific data configurations.
z If the trunk cable from BBU3806 is coaxial at 75 ohm and the cable from the peer
end of BBU3806 is a 120-ohm twisted pair one, you must connect the two types
of cables through an adapter or a transit cable.

6.5.3 Wiring Principles for E1/T1 Cable

Route the E1/T1 cable by following the principles below:


z Do not rout the E1/T1 cable overhead outside the equipment room.
z If the E1/T1 cable has to go outside the equipment room, route them
underground through a metal pipe. Ground both ends of the pipe securely.
z If the E1/T1 cable has to go outside the equipment room and fails to be routed
underground, you shall:
z Shield the cable through a metal tube. Ground both ends of the tube
securely. For the section of the cable led into the equipment room, connect it to
the protection grounding bar for sound grounding.
z Choose the cable with an outer metal layer. Ground both ends of the metal
layer securely. For the section of the cable led into the equipment room, connect
it to the protection grounding bar for sound grounding.
z Ground the idle wire pairs of the E1/T1 cable inside the equipment room. For
example, you may connect the idle core wires and shielding layer of the E1/T1
cable to a small metal plate, lead a grounding cable from the plate, and then
connects it to the protection grounding bar inside the equipment room.
z Do not cross the E1/T1 cable with the power cable, grounding cable, and feeder.
z When routing the E1/T1 cable in parallel with the above three types of cable,
keep it at least 30 mm away from any of the cables.
z Route the cable nicely and neatly, and secure it with cable ties.
z Make sure the radius of any bent is 20 times larger than the diameter of the
cable.

C.2.4 Printing Labels

You can print or write labels. Printing is advisable for high efficiency and eye-pleasant
layout.

I. Template for Printing

The Word-form template is available for label printout:


z Download the template from http://tech-support.huawei.com/asp/comm/index.asp
(path: //support/technical document/project management/installation and
maintenance/document/others).
z Get the template from Huawei local office.
When using the template, you can directly modify the contents on the template. Be sure
to observe the following rules:
z Do not change the settings of centered characters, direction, and fonts.
z When there are too many characters to fill in, zoom out the characters, but make
sure that the printouts are clear and legible.

II. Cells Merging on the Template

The procedure is as follows:


1) Recover the table structure (if gridlines are displayed, you can start from Step 3)
directly).
2) Click [Edit/Select All].
3) Click [Format/Borders and Shading/Borders]. Select Box and click <OK>.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

C-3
Installation Manual Hardware Installation
BBU3806 WCDMA Base Band Unit Appendix C Engineering Labels for Cables

4) Select the cells to merge and click [Table/Merge Cells].


If two merged cells are still not large enough, use multiple lines.

III. Requirements for Printer

Use a laser printer to print labels.

Before printing a label, set up the page and try the printing on ordinary blank paper
(both sides are blank):
1) Cover the blank paper onto the whole page of label paper. Check that the page
setup conforms to the requirement.
2) Make sure the printer properties, such as "paper size" and direction, have been
set correctly.
3) If the warning prompt as shown in Figure C-3 appears before printing, click
<Ignore> to continue the printing.

Figure C-3 Warning prompt before printing

If the printout conforms to the requirement, print it to label paper. If not, adjust the page
setup and try the printing again until the printout is satisfactory.

Adjust the page setup as follows:


1) Click [File/Page Setup].
2) Select the [Margins] tab page.
3) Select Left for [Gutter Position].
4) Set [Header] and [Footer] as 0. Adjust the values of [Top], [Bottom], [Left], and
[Right].
When the page setup is correct, save it for future use. The page setup is only necessary
for the first time you use the template to print the labels.

IV. Requirements for Feeding Printer

No matter what model of printer you are using, feed in paper pieces one after another
by hand. Never use the auto-feed mode to avoid jamming the labels. The reason is that
the label paper is different from the ordinary paper. It is composed of two pages and
processed through many stages.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

C-4
Installation Manual Hardware Installation
BBU3806 WCDMA Base Band Unit Appendix C Engineering Labels for Cables

Different models of printers entail different feeding modes. Be sure to feed in the paper
pieces correctly.

V. Requirements for Printed Labels

Make sure that the printed labels satisfy the following requirements:
z All the printout is on the label. Nothing should be printed on the bottom page of the
label.
z Contents in the cells are aligned in the center. In a single-line printout, the dividing
lines and the mark TO: are not covered by the printed characters.
z Avoid overwriting the mark TO: with contents in merged cells or multiple-line
printing. Use the space bar to move the contents to the next line.

C.2.5 Writing Labels

Use the black oiliness markers delivered together with the device to write the labels.

If have to, you may use black ball-pens instead. In that case, take care not to leave the
oil on the label. Note that the oil contaminates the label and blurs the words.

Note:
The delivered marker has two nebs. Be sure to use the smaller neb to write the labels.

For easy recognition and good looking, write close to the standard typeface. Table C-1
shows the standard typeface.

C.2.6 Affixing Labels

After printing or writing the label, remove the labels from the bottom page. Affix them to
signal cables or the ID plates of the power cables.

I. Affixing Label to Signal Cable

1) Decide where to affix the label.


Affix the label 20 mm from the connector on the signal cable. To avoid bending the
cable or affecting other cables, you may affix the label at other positions.

For the vertical cable, affix the label with the text area to the right. For the horizontal
cable, affix the label with the text area downward. Figure C-5 shows how to affix a label
to a vertical signal cable. The method is similar for affixing a label to a horizontal cable
except the cable is 90 clockwise.

Figure C-5 Affixing a label to a signal cable

2) Fold the narrow part of the label to the right, as shown in Figure C-5-a.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

C-6
Installation Manual Hardware Installation
BBU3806 WCDMA Base Band Unit Appendix C Engineering Labels for Cables

The length of the narrow part is designed for 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.
3) Fold the printed part along the dotted line according to the directions shown in
Figure C-5-b.
Figure C-5-c shows the finished label.

II. Affixing Label to Power Cable

Remove the label from the bottom page. Affix it to the rectangular flute on the ID plate
on the cable tie. Be sure to affix the labels on the same side of the ID plates. Bind the
cables with cable ties 20 mm from the connectors. You can change the position to suite
actual needs.

Bind the cables with cable ties at both ends. After the bundling, the finished ID plate
should be on top of the cable in horizontal cabling, or on the right side of the cable in
vertical cabling. Make sure that the label is facing out, as shown in Figure C-6.

C.2.7 Information Carried on Labels

I. For Power Cables

Affix labels for power cables on one side of the ID plates. On the labels, there is
information (the part after the mark TO:) about the location of the device at the other
end of the cable, such as the location of the control cabinet, distribution box or power
socket.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

Installation Manual Hardware Installation
BBU3806 WCDMA Base Band Unit Appendix C Engineering Labels for Cables

II. 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, as shown in Figure C-7.

The information is given like this:


z Area 1 contains the location information of this end of the cable.
z Area 2 (with the mark "TO:") contains the location information of the other end of
the cable.
z Area 3 has been folded up inside the label.

Area 1 Area 3

Area 2 TO:

Figure C-7 Printed parts on the label for signal cables

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. 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. In other words, the local information at one end is the
opposite information at the other end.

C.2.8 Points for Attention

z When printing/writing and affixing labels, keep the labels clean.


z Because the label paper is made of moisture-proof and waterproof material, do not
use ink-jet printers or ink pens to print or write labels.
z Affix labels neatly.
z Cable ties bundle power cables in the same position, with ID plates on the same
side.
z The positions of up, down, right or left are all based on the viewpoint of the
one working on the label.

protection grounding cables, including the -48V, PGND, and BGND cables. The labels
for DC power cables are on one side of the ID plates on cable ties.

I. Meaning of the Label

Table C-6 shows the information carried on the labels for the DC power cables:

Table C-6 Information on labels affixed to the DC power cables

Content Meaning

MN(BC)--48V1 MN (BC): BC is right under MN.

MN(BC)--48V2 On the load cabinet side, MN alone can identify the cabinet.

MN(BC)-BGND On the power cabinet side, MN identifies the row and


column number of the power distribution equipment such as
MN(BC)-PGND the control cabinet and distribution box. BC identifies the row
and column number of the -48V connector (if there is no row
number or column number, or the connector can be
identified without them, BC can be omitted). BGND and
PGND have no row and column number for identification.

The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment, the control
cabinet or the distribution box. The information of the local end is not necessary. Table

Note:
z In the power distribution box (or the first power cabinet of a row in the transmission
equipment room), every terminal block on the -48V 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.
z PGND and BGND are two copper bars. On each bar, the terminal blocks are
short-circuited. Therefore, which terminal is connected makes no difference. You
only need give the row number and column number 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 load cabinet side is A01-BGND, it means that the
power cable is a BGND that connects BGND copper bar in the power distribution
box on Row A, Column 01 in the equipment room. The information on the labels for
PGND cables is similar.

2) Insert the optical fiber connector immediately into the corresponding optical
sub-board or flange after cleaning it lest the corresponding port on the sub-board
or flange becomes dirty.
3) Do not touch the end face of the optical fiber connector after cleaning it. Cover it
with a protective cap if it is not in use for the moment.
4) Clean the flange on the optical subboard and the optical port in the board only
when:
z The detected optical power performance of the subboard supporting optical
power detection is greatly different from the actual measured optical power.
z The subboard that does not support optical power detection reports alarms or the
transmit optical power of the subboard is greatly different from the typical optical
power even if the receive optical power is within its working range.
5) Examine the optical port surface using a fiber microscope. Make sure that the
optical port is clean.
z When the Raman amplifier applies to the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
system, examine the surfaces of all optical ports before the input ports using a
fiber microscope.
z Examine the surfaces of all optical ports on the link of long-distance transmission
(over 120 km) of WDM equipment and 10G MADM equipment.

D.4 Precautions
