l Dispose of the used battery according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
l Do not dispose of the lithium battery in fire.
1.5 Radiation
Electromagnetic Field Exposure
CAUTION
High power radio-frequency signals are harmful to human body.
Before installing or maintaining an antenna on a steel tower or mast with a large number of
transmitter antennas, the operator should coordinate with all parties to ensure that the transmitter
antennas are shut down.
The base transceiver station (BTS) has RF radiation (radiation hazard). Suggestions for the
installation and operation of BTSs are given in the following section. Operators are also required
to comply with the related local regulations on erecting BTSs.
l The antenna should be located in an area that is inaccessible to the public where the RF
radiation exceeds the stipulated value.

l If the areas where RF radiation exceeds the stipulated value are accessible to workers,
ensure that workers know where these areas are. They can shut down the transmitters before
entering these areas. Such areas may not exist; but if they exist, the areas must be within a
range of less than 10 m around the antennas.
l Each forbidden zone should be indicated by a physical barrier and striking sign to warn the
public or workers.
Laser
CAUTION
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet with
unaided eyes.
Laser transceivers or transmitters are used in the optical transmission system and associated test
tools. Because the laser that is transmitted through the optical fiber produces a small beam of
light, it has a very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. If a beam of light enters
the eye, the retina may be damaged.
Normally, staring into the end of an unterminated optical fiber or broken optical fiber with the
unaided eyes from a distance of more than 150 mm [5.91 in.] will not cause eye injury. Eyes
may, however, be damaged if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass or eye
loupe is used to stare into the bare optical fiber end.
Read the following guidelines to prevent laser radiation:
l Only the trained and authorized personnel can perform the operation.
l Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or optical fibers.
l Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.
l Never look into the end of an exposed optical fiber or an open connector if you cannot
ensure that the optical source is switched off.
l To ensure that the optical source is switched off, use an optical power meter.
l Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, ensure that you are not
exposed to laser radiation.
l Never use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to look
into the optical fiber connector or end.
Read the following instructions before handling optical fibers:
l Only the trained personnel can cut and splice optical fibers.
l Before cutting or splicing an optical fiber, ensure that the optical fiber is disconnected from
the optical source. After disconnecting the optical fiber, use protecting caps to protect all
the optical connectors.

1.6 Working at Heights
CAUTION
When working at heights, ensure that the objects do not fall.
When working at heights, ensure that the following requirements must be met:
l The personnel who work at heights must be trained.
l The operating machines and tools should be carried and handled safely to prevent them
from falling.
l Safety measures, such as wearing a helmet and a safety belt, should be taken.
l In cold regions, warm clothes should be worn before working at heights.
l Ensure that the lifting appliances are well prepared for working at heights.
Lifting Weights
CAUTION
Do not access the areas under the arm of the crane and the goods in suspension when lifting
weights.
l Ensure that the operators have been trained and qualified.

l Check the weight lifting tools and ensure that they are intact.
l Lift the weight only when the weight lifting tools are firmly mounted onto the weight-
bearing object or the wall.
l Use a concise instruction to prevent incorrect operation.
l The angle between the two cables should be less than or equal to 90o in the lifting of weights
(See Figure 1-2).

Figure 1-2 Lifting a weight
Safety Guide on Ladder Use

Checking the Ladder
l Check the ladder before using it. Check the maximum weight that the ladder can support.
l Never overload the ladder.
Placing the Ladder
l The slant angle is preferred to be 75o. The slant can be measured with the angle square or
with arms, as shown in Figure 1-3. When using a ladder, place the wider end of the ladder
on the ground and take protective measures on the base of the ladder against slippage. Place
the ladder on a stable ground.
When climbing the ladder, ensure the following:
l The gravity of the body does not shift from the edge of the ladder.
l Keep balance on the ladder before performing any operation.
l Do not climb higher than the fourth highest step of the ladder.
If you tend to climb to the roof, the length of the ladder should be at least one meter higher than
the eave, as shown in Figure 1-4.

Figure 1-3 Slant angle
Figure 1-4 One meter higher than the eave
1.7 Mechanical Safety

Drilling
CAUTION
Do not drill on the cabinet without permission. Inappropriate drilling on the cabinet may damage
the electromagnetic shielding and internal cables. Metal shavings from the drilling may result
in a short-circuit of the circuit board if they get into the cabinet.
l Before drilling a hole on the cabinet, remove the cables from the cabinet.

l During the drilling, wear blinkers to protect your eyes.

l During the drilling, wear the protective gloves.
l Prevent the metal shavings from getting into the cabinet. After drilling, clean the metal
shavings in time.
Handling Sharp Objects
CAUTION
When carrying the device by hand, wear the protective gloves to prevent injury by sharp objects.
Handling Fans
l When replacing a component, place the component, screw, and tool at a safe place to prevent
them from falling into the running fan.
l When replacing the ambient equipment around the fan, do not place the finger or board
into the running fan until the fan is switched off and stops running.
Moving Heavy Objects

Wear the protective gloves when moving heavy objects.
CAUTION
l Be careful when moving heavy objects.
l When moving the chassis outwards, be aware about the unfixed or heavy objects on the
chassis to prevent injury.
l Two persons should be available to move a chassis; one person must not move a heavy
chassis. When moving a chassis, keep your back straight and move stably to prevent a
sprain.
l When moving or lifting a chassis, hold the handle or bottom of the chassis. Do not hold the
handle of the installed modules in the chassis, such as the power module, fan module, or
board.
1.8 Others
Inserting and Removing a Board
CAUTION
When inserting a board, wear the ESD wrist strap or gloves. Insert the board gently to prevent
any bent pins on the backplane.

l Insert the board along the guide rail.

l Avoid contact of one board with another to prevent short-circuit or damage.
l Do not remove the active board before powering off.
l When holding a board in hand, do not touch the board circuit, components, connectors, or
connection slots.
Bundling Signal Cables
CAUTION
Bundle the signal cables separately from the strong current cables or high voltage cables.
Cabling Requirements
At a very low temperature, movement of the cable may damage the plastic skin of the cable. To
ensure the construction safety, comply with the following requirements:
l When installing cables, ensure that the environment temperature is above 0oC.
l If cables are stored in the place below 0oC, move the cables into a place at a room
temperature and store the cables for more than 24 hours before installation.
l Move the cables with care, especially at a low temperature. Do not drop the cables directly
from the vehicle.

based on the installation position of the cabinet.
You can use the marking template or tape measure to determine the positions of the holes for
the expansion bolt assemblies on the concrete floor. The marking template is made of paper and
is prone to deformation. Before using the marking template, check whether it is deformed based
on the dimensions of marking template specified in 5.2 Template Files for Installing the
N68E-22 Cabinet.
If... Then...
The marking template is one of the Use the marking plate to determine the
accessories delivered on site and is not positions of the holes for the expansion bolt
deformed, assemblies and then go to Step 4.
Other, Use the tape measure to determine the

positions of the holes for the expansion bolt
assemblies and then go to Step 5.
Step 4 Use the marking plate to determine the positions of the holes for the expansion bolt assemblies.
1. As shown in Figure 5-4 or Figure 5-5, use measuring and marking instruments to measure
and mark the start points for the front of a row of cabinets. From each start point, mark the
benchmark lines in the cabinet arrangement direction.
2. Place the marking template on the floor. Ensure that the semicircle notch of the template
indicates the front of the cabinet and the edges of the template align with the benchmark
lines.
3. Mark the positions of the holes (four holes for each cabinet) for expansion bolts on the floor
by using the template.
4. After all the hole positions are marked, measure the holes again to ensure that the
dimensions of the holes are correct.
5. Go to Step 6.
Step 5 If the marking template cannot be used on site, use the tape measure to determine the positions
of the holes for the expansion bolt assemblies.

bolt assembly on each of the straight lines. Taking the hole as the benchmark point, mark
the mounting holes for other expansion bolt assemblies in succession.
3. After all the hole positions are marked, measure the holes again to ensure that the
dimensions of the holes are correct.
Step 6 Drill the holes.

CAUTION
l The concrete floor should not be penetrated. Therefore, you should confirm the thickness of
the concrete floor before the drilling. For some types of concrete floors on which the drilling
is not suitable, you should consult the architectural engineers and get their permission before
drilling holes.
l Before drilling holes, you should take dustproof measures on the electronic equipment in the
equipment room. While drilling holes, you should clean the dust with a vacuum cleaner.
Before removing the dustproof cover from the electronic equipment, you should clean the
pieces of concrete which accumulate during the drilling.
l You must wear safety goggles during the drilling to protect your eyes from the harm of dust.
l While drilling holes, you must hold the drill stock firmly. You must keep the drilling bit
vertical to the floor lest the floor be damaged or the holes be slanting.
1. Dig a pit by using a chisel to help hold the drill bit to the floor, as shown in Figure 5-6.
Figure 5-6 Digging a pit
2. Use a percussion drill to drill holes at the marked places on the concrete floor. The depth
of each hole must range from 52 mm to 60 mm. All the holes must have the same depth.
Select a Ф16 drill bit in appropriate length. See Figure 5-7.
Figure 5-7 Drilling a hole

3. Check that the depth of each hole ranges from 52 mm to 60 mm and that the holes are not
slanting. If the depth of the hole is not appropriate or if the hole is slanting, re-drill the hole.
If the slanting hole cannot be corrected, discard the hole.
4. Clean the dust inside and outside the holes by using a vacuum cleaner.

7.2 Connections of RNC Power Cables and PGND Cables

This describes how the power cables and the PGND cables connect the RNC to the power
distribution frame (PDF) and how the PGND cables interconnect the RNC cabinets.
Figure 7-7 shows the connections of the power cables and PGND cables.
Figure 7-7 Cable connections

NOTE
l Each RNC cabinet is configured with nine cables, that is four -48 V power cables, four RTN power
cables, and one PGND cable.
l It is recommended that the PGND cables of the RNC cabinets be connected to the closest grounding
bar. When the PDF is far from the RNC cabinets, for example, the PDF is not in the same equipment
room as the RNC cabinets, connect the PGND cables of the RNC cabinets to the closest grounding
bar co-grounded with the PDF rather than connect the PGND cables directly with the PDF.
7.3 Installation Specifications for RNC Power Cables and

PGND Cables
When installing the RNC power cables and PGND cables, ensure that the requirements for
routing and binding the cables are met.
Requirements for Routing Cables

l Before routing the cables, wrap the connectors by using the insulating tapes to prevent the
connectors from contacting the terminals connected to the PDF.
l While routing cables, take the capacity expansion into consideration.
l Separate the power cables and PGND cables from the signal cables.
l When power cables or PGND cables are laid parallel to signal cables, leave at least 10 mm
between the power cables or PGND cables and the signal cables inside the cabinet and at
least 100 mm between them outside the cabinet.
l Ensure that the bend radius of the power cables and PGND cables is five times longer than
the diameter of the cable.
l In the underfloor cabling mode, reserve extra length of the power cables outside the cable
holes of the power distribution box on top of the cabinet. The purpose is to help plug in
and pull out the cables. In addition, flush the cables at the top of the cabinet.
l When connecting power cables to the terminals of the power distribution box, route them
in a straight manner and ensure that The cables are routed smoothly without any tangling.
Requirements for Binding Cables

l Bind the power cables and PGND cables separately from the signal cables.
l Bind the power cables and PGND cables every 200 mm.
l Determine the types of cable ties (100 mm, 150 mm, 300 mm, or 295 mm) based on the
number of cables.
l Orient the cable ties to the same direction.
l Bind the cables tightly. Then cut off the surplus parts completely for indoor cable ties and
leave 3 mm to 5 mm for outdoor cable ties. Trim the tails of the cable ties.
7.4 Installing Power Cables and PGND Cables Between the

N68E-22 Cabinet and the PDF
and the PDF. The installation methods include two types: overhead cabling and underfloor
cabling. Select either of them according to the actual scenario.

(Overhead Cabling)
This describes how to install power cables and PGND cables between the N68E-22 cabinet and
the PDF by overhead cabling.
7.4.3 Installing Power Cables and PGND Cables Between the N68E-22 Cabinet and the PDF
(Underfloor Cabling)
the PDF by underfloor cabling.
7.4.1 Overhead and Underfloor Cabling Modes

The cables can be connected to the RNC cabinet in either overhead cabling mode or underfloor
cabling mode.
Based on actual scenarios, the cabling can be of either overhead or underfloor cabling mode.
For overhead cabling mode, the cables are led upward out of the cabinet through the upper cable
hole or other channels; for underfloor cabling mode, the cables are led downward out of the
cabinet through the lower cable hole or other channels. Here shows an example of overhead/
underfloor cabling mode through the upper/lower cable hole.
External cables can be connected to the RNC cabinet either through the upper cable hole or the
lower cable hole. Each corner on the top and the bottom of the cabinet provides a rectangular
cabling hole, as shown in Figure 7-8.

Figure 7-8 Cable holes of the RNC cabinet
If the cable hole is covered with the rodent-proof cover, you need to remove the cover before
the cabling. Then, lead the cables through the cable hole and bind the cables. Replace the rodent-
proof cover on the cable hole, and mark the area to be cut based on the cross section of the bound
cables. Then, use the scissors to cut the area. At last, replace the rodent-proof cover. Ensure that
the bound cables fit in well with the cover, that is, the cables are fully engaged and no side
clearance is left.
Overhead Cabling
The cables are fixed through the cable holes of the two sides at the top of the cabinet. Route the
cables along both sides of the cabinet in the downward way to the related devices. The overhead
cabling mode is suitable for the equipment room with the cement floor, as shown in Figure
7-9.

Figure 7-9 Overhead cabling mode
Underfloor Cabling
The cables are fixed through the cable holes of the two sides at the bottom of the cabinet. Lay
the cables along the both sides of the cabinet in the upward way to the related devices. The
underfloor cabling mode is suitable for the equipment room with the ESD floor, as shown in
Figure 7-10. When the underfloor cabling mode is applied, ensure that the height of the piled
cables cannot exceed the 3/4 height of the space under the ESD floor.

power supplies to the subracks, fan box, and boards are all working properly.
Prerequisite
l The RNC cabinet is connected to the PDF by power cables and PGND cables.
l All the internal power cables and PGND cables are installed.
l All subracks within the cabinet, the fan box within the subrack, and boards are installed.
l The multimeter is ready.
Context
The RNC cabinet uses the DC power supply. For the requirements of the cabinet power supply,
refer to Technical Specifications for the RNC Power Distribution Box.

CAUTION
Correctly put on the ESD wrist strap and ensure that the ESD wrist strap is properly connected
to the ESD connector on the cabinet.
Procedure
Step 1 On the PDF, set the status of the corresponding output switch to be OFF.On the power
distribution box of the RNC cabinet, set the status of the corresponding output switch to be
OFF.
Step 2 Set the multimeter to the state of resistance measurement. Use the multimeter to measure the
output terminal on the PDF and the input and output terminals of the power distribution box on
the RNC cabinet. Check that no short circuit exists between the working power supply of
-48V and the working location RTN or between the working power supply of -48V and the
PGND.
Step 3 On the PDF, set the status of the corresponding output switch to be ON. On the power distribution
box of the RNC cabinet, set the status of the corresponding output switch to be OFF.
At this time, the power distribution box turns to the self-test mode. The RUN and ALM LEDs
are on at the same time and the buzzer buzzes. After the self-test is complete, the power
distribution box requests the SCUa board for registry until the registry succeeds. During the
request process, the RUN LED on the power distribution box blinks at 2 Hz. When the request
for registry succeeds, the RUN LED blinks at 0.5 Hz. For the description about the LED status
on the power distribution box, refer to LEDs on the Front Panel of the RNC Power
Distribution Box.
Step 4 Set the multimeter to the state of voltage measurement. Use the multimeter to measure the output
voltage of the PDF or the input voltage of the power distribution box within the cabinet. Ensure
that the voltage ranges from -57 V to -40 V before you proceed the next test item.
Step 5 Take a subrack as a unit and set the corresponding switch of the power distribution box within
the RNC cabinet to ON.
Step 6 Set the multimeter to the state of voltage measurement. Use the multimeter to measure the voltage
range. Check whether the output power range of the subrack is within the allowed voltage range,
that is, from -57 V to -40 V. At the same time, check whether the fan box within the subrack
and the power supply of the boards within the subrack can work properly.
l After the subrack is powered on, the green STATUS LED on the panel of the fan box blinks.
In case of abnormality, turn off the corresponding switch of the power distribution box
immediately, turn off the switch of the PDF, and check whether the output voltage of the
power distribution box is abnormal and whether the power cables are wrongly installed. For
the description about the LED status of the fan box, refer to LED on the Fan Box.
l After the subrack is powered on, the RUN LED on the panel of the board is on steady or
blinks. If none of the LEDs for a board is on after the subrack is powered on, the slot or the
board itself might be faulty. Then, contact Huawei for technical support. For the description
about the LEDs on boards, refer to RNC LEDs.
l In case of abnormality, that is, when all of the LEDs for all boards within a subrack is off,
turn off the corresponding switch of the power distribution box immediately, and then turn
off the switch of the PDF. Check whether the output voltage of the power distribution box
is abnormal and whether the power cables are wrongly installed.

Step 7 Repeat Step 5 through Step 6 until the tests for the power-on status of the three subracks within
one RNC cabinet are complete.
Step 8 Repeat Step 1 through Step 7 to measure the power supply for other RNC cabinets.
