Precautions

NOTE

This document provides simple and distinctive guidelines for quick hardware installation of the ATN
910&910I&910B&950&950B.

Based on the height of a device, the ATN 910&910I&910B are considered 1 U devices, and the ATN
950&950B are considered 2 U devices. 1 U = 44.45 mm (1.75 in.)
As the installation methods are similar, the fixed ATN 910I is used as an example for the 1 U device,
and the card-inserted ATN 950B is used as an example for the 2 U device. The installation
differences are specially described in this document.

This document does not describe pre-delivery assembly. This document only describes procedures
for onsite installation.

CAUTION

Electrostatic Discharge
Wear ESD gloves or Antistatic Wrist Strap prior to
contact with the equipment or before handling the
plug-boards, boards, and IC chips to prevent damage
to sensitive components caused by electrostatic
discharge from the human body.

CAUTION

Bundling cables

Binding intervals between cable ties or optical fiber binding straps inside the cabinet cannot
exceed 250 mm.

CAUTION

Pre-Installation Check

Verify that the equipment room, power supply, ground cables and optical cables are ready for
installation. Start the installation according to the engineering design documents after confirming
that conditions are met. Refer to the Installation Guide for information about specific operational
requirements and technical specifications.

3 Connecting the E1 Cable

NOTE
When installing and routing cables, refer to the engineering document on site to install and connect the E1
cable, service network cable, and fiber at the opposite end.
CAUTION

•The ATN 910I must use the matching E1 cables. The 75-ohm 16 x E1 cable of other types of ATN
equipment cannot be used for the ATN 910I. Otherwise, the device cannot correctly identify the impedance.
•The DB44 connector is used for one end of the E1 cable on the ATN 910B. Other ATN devices use the
Anea 96 connector. The installation methods are the same. The E1 cable on other devices is used as an
example here.

4 Connecting the Ethernet Service Network Cable

NOTE
•It is recommended to connect the service cables of the same type to network interfaces from the left to right.
•As the Ethernet service interfaces support the adaptive function, the network cable can be either crossover
cable or straight through cable. The straight through cable is recommended.

5 Connecting Fibers

WARNING

Laser
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to or look into the optical fiber outlet directly
with naked eyes.

NOTE

•It is recommended to connect the fibers

to optical interfaces from the left to right.

• Optical modules can be delivered with

the device or separately. Optical modules
that are delivered separately must be
installed on the device on site.

NOTE

•Cut the bellow to a proper length according to cabling distance from the chassis to the ODF.

•When routing fibers through the cable guiding frame, make sure that the fibers are not pressed by other
cables. Otherwise, the fibers may be damaged.

•When routing fibers, make sure that the bending radius of the fibers exceeds the minimum curvature radius.
The minimum curvature radius of a 2 mm fiber is 40 mm.

When routing fibers outside the cabinet, use a bellow or

After routing fibers into the bellow, use a strap to wound tube. The bellow should be routed to the cabinet

 Checking Cable Connectivity
a Checking Connectivity of E1 Cables

NM center

Loopback
Transmission
network

1. An hardware installation engineer powers on the device, sets up optical paths, and informs a
software commissioning engineer in the network management (NM) center that the device is
powered on and optical paths are set up.

2. The software commissioning engineer searches for and creates NEs to ensure that the device
can be managed remotely. Then, the software commissioning engineer configures data for the site
to ensure that the device is functioning properly and alarm and performance data can be reported.

3. The software commissioning engineer sets outloops for E1 ports on the NMS, and instructs the
hardware installation engineer to test the bit error rate (BER) using a BER tester.
• If no bit errors occur or loss of signal (LOS) signals are displayed, the E1 cables are normal.
• If bit errors occur or LOS signals are displayed, check whether the 2 Mbit/s cables are
incorrectly connected or poor soldering occurs.

NOTE
To check the connectivity of the network cable, you can also adopt the approach of looping back the data
ports (applicable to the data ports on two sets of equipment that is powered on). That is, connect the two
data ports with the network cable. If the LINK indicator is on, it indicates that the network cable is normal.

 Installation Checklist

No. Item

1 The chassis are positioned in the proper place as prescribed by the engineering design specific to the site.
When the chassis is installed in a 19-inch cabinet, make sure that the chassis does not come into contact
the front door and that the cables are not pressed against the front door when it is closed.

2 Each chassis component does not have any paint drop, damage, or stain. Otherwise, re-paint or clean the
component.

3 When a board is inserted into the chassis, the screws on the front panel of the board are tightened.

4 Vacant slots in the chassis are covered with filler panels.

5 Cables are routed according to the engineering design, facilitating future maintenance and expansion.

6 Cables are not damaged or broken, and there are not any joints on the cable.

7 Cables are tested for connectivity.

8 Cables are bundled closely with proper force. The spacing between the cable ties is even. After the cable
ties are fixed, the remaining part is trimmed with no burrs.

9 Signal cables are routed correctly.

10 Cables outside the cabinet are routed as follows:

• Cables are laid neatly without crossing.
• If a cabling ladder is used, the cables should be bound onto the ladder beam neatly. If the cabling frame
is 0.8 m (31.5 in.) or higher than the cabinet top, a cabling ladder must be available on the cabinet top to
support the cables and to ease stress.

11 The cable turns are smooth and have a big bending radius.

12 Cable labels are marked correctly and firmly attached. They are aligned and face to the same direction.
The labels need to be placed two centimeters away from the connectors.

13 The power cable and grounding cable are routed separately from the signal cables.

14 Protective caps are placed on unused cable connectors for protection.

15 The protective tube for fiber jumpers is led into the cabinet and the tube inside the cabinet is about 10 cm
(3.94 in.). If the cut end of the tube has sharp edges, wrap it using insulation tape.

16 The cut end of the protective tube for fiber jumpers is smooth and without sharp edges. If the cut end is
not smooth, wrap it using insulation tape.

17 The fiber jumpers are not tightly bound and are able to moved freely in the cable tie.

18 The connecting points of fiber jumpers are free from dust. The unused fiber connectors and optical
interfaces are protected by protective caps or plugs.

NOTE
•To check tail fiber connection, you need to check the deviation of the optical power between an optical interface on
the board and the peer interface on the ODF. If the optical power meter reads a value less than or equal to 1 dB, it
indicates that the tail fiber connection is correct. Otherwise, check the fiber.

•If the fiber is connected through a flange, the deviation should be less than 2 dB.

•When using an optical power meter during a test, you are recommended to record the launched optical power of
each optical interface and check whether the launched optical power is normal.

•Consult the project supervisor or software engineer and determine whether it is necessary to test the received
optical power by using an optical power meter, with an intention to check whether the received optical power is
normal.
