II. Drilling Holes

M 12 expansion bolts are used to fix the cabinet onto the ground, so you must use a 16 percussion drill to make holes for the expansion bolts. To drill holes on the floor, do as follows: 1) Keep the drilling bit vertical to the ground and hold tight the drillstock to drill holes 52 mm to 60 mm deep. The depth of the holes must be within 52 mm to 60 mm. Otherwise the expansion bolts cannot be tightened. If the ground is too hard or too smooth to settle the drill bit, use a chisel to punch a pit before drilling. 2) 3) Clean the dust inside the holes using a vacuum cleaner. Measure the depth of the holes to ensure that the depths are the same.
Note: Correct line drawing and hole drilling are essential to quality hardware installation.
III. Installing Expansion Bolts

To install an expansion bolt, do as follows: 1) 2) Check if the dust inside and around the holes are cleaned. Check the hole spacing. Relocate and drill new holes if necessary. 3) 4) 5) 6) Remove the expansion tube and nut from the expansion bolt. Put the guiding rib of nut in the guiding slot of the expansion tube. Put expansion nut and expansion tube in the hole vertically. Strike the expansion tube into the hole using a rubber hammer.
3.3.4 Fixing Cabinets
Caution: Use insulation plates between cabinets and supports, and insulation coverings on the expansion bolts. Install insulation parts correctly to ensure good insulation between the equipment and the ground.
To fix the cabinet, do as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Place the cabinet on the specified position, and align anchors of the cabinet with the mapping holes on the ground. Adjust anchors to raise the cabinet and put insulation washers under anchors until the truckles are 5 mm off the ground. Check the levelness of cabinet using a level bar on the cabinet top. Adjust the anchors to level the cabinet. Fit the insulation tubes on anchors, and the spring washers, big flat washers, and insulation washers on bolts M 12x80. Insert the bolts through anchors into the holes on the support vertically Screw the bolts to 45 N$m. Screw the bolts alternately to reduce stress between the bolt and the cabinet.

Chapter 4 Internal Component Installation

Internal components (ICs) configured for a cabinet depend on uses of the cabinet. This chapter presents the procedures of installing ICs.
4.2 Precautions
When installing ICs, comply with the following: Place each component gently onto corresponding guide rails in cabinets, and insert it slightly into cabinets. For cabinet stability and convenience in operation, install components from the bottom up. When fastening ICs and dummy panels, do as follows: 1) 2) Put bolts into the installation holes on the mount angles of each component. Screw the component on the mount angles at both sides of cabinets.
If you use more than four bolts for a component, first fasten the four bolts at the four corners in the diagonal direction, and then other bolts in turn. Fix dummy panels on the mount angles at both sides of cabinets using lockers. To pull out a dummy panel, first press down and loose lockers. Keep mount angles in a correct order. Keep even space between components, between dummy panels, and between components and dummy panels.
4.3 Installation Procedure

Note: The LAN Switches, fan boxes, boards, cable troughs, and dummy panels have been installed before delivery.
4.3.1 Installing iGWB and BAM Servers
Note: In common cases, guide rails for ICs are mounted before delivery. You do not need to use the guide rails delivered with the servers.
To install iGWB and BAM servers, proceed as follows: 1) 2) Put the iGWB and BAM servers in the integrated configuration cabinet. Fasten the servers in the cabinet with panel screws.
4.3.2 Installing Hard Disk Array

To install the hard disk array when the iGWB adopts the IBM server, proceed as follows: 1) 2) Put the hard disk array in the integrated configuration cabinet. Fasten the hard disk array in the cabinet with panel screws.
4.3.3 Installing LAN Switches:
Caution: Do not use the mount angles delivered with LAN Switches. Instead, use those packed alone, in purplish grey compatible with the color of the whole equipment.
To install a LAN Switch, proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) Fix mount angles at both sides of the front panel of LAN Switch. Insert the LAN Switch into corresponding guide rails. Fasten the mount angles at both sides of the LAN Switch front panel onto the mount angles on the side columns in the cabinet front using panel screws.
4.3.4 Installing KVMSs:

To install a KVMS, proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) Insert the KVMS into the corresponding position in an integrated configuration cabinet. Fasten the mount angles at both sides of the KVMS front panel onto the mount angles on the side columns in the cabinet front using panel screws. Install anti-tilt angles on the two rear sides of the KVMS and screw the anti-tilt angles onto the mount angles on the side columns at the cabinet back. Thus, you can avoid tilt of the rear part when the liquid crystal display (LCD) or keyboard is pulled out of the cabinet.
4.3.5 Installing Fan Boxes in Service Subracks

To install a fan box at the bottom of a service subrack, proceed as follows: 1) 2) Insert the fan box along the guide rails until the power plug on the fan box is inserted into the power socket of the subrack. Screw the fan box in the subrack.
4.3.6 Installing Boards in Service Subracks
Caution: Before installing boards in basic subrack and expansion subracks, ensure that cabinets are grounded reliably. For the methods about connecting protection ground cables, see Chapter 5 "Installation of Protection Ground Cables and Power Cables". Insert a board into a subrack only when the eject levers contact well with the upper and lower beams of the subrack. Forced insertion will wear the eject levers and may damage the slot pins on the subrack backplane.
I. Preparations for Installing Boards

Circuit boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). When handling boards, observe the following rules: Check that the equipment is securely grounded according to requirements. Always wear an ESD wrist strap during the operation. Tighten the writs strap around your wrist so that the metal tab makes good contact with your bare skin, and attach the ground core of the wrist strap to the designated grounding point, as shown in Figure 4-5.
Figure 4-5 Wearing an ESD wrist strap correctly
Check the validity and functionality of the wrist strap. Its resistance value must be within 0.75 M to 10 M. If the validity period (usually two years) of the wrist strap expires or the resistance value fails to meet requirements, use a functioning wrist strap. Avoid touching boards with your clothing, because the touching generates static electricity beyond the protection scope of the wrist strap. Wear antistatic gloves and place the board on an antistatic pad when replacing board software or chips. Use antistatic tweezers or extraction tools to replace chips. Do not tough chips, circuits, or pins with your bare hands. Keep the boards and other ESD sensitive parts to be installed in antistatic bags. Place removed boards and components on an antistatic pad or other antistatic materials. Do not use non-antistatic materials such as white foams, common plastic bags, or paper bags to pack boards or let them touch boards. Wear an ESD wrist strap when operating the ports of boards because they are also ESD-sensitive. Discharge the static electricity of cables and protective sleeves before connecting them to the ports. Reserve some materials for board installation (such as antistatic boxes and bags) in the room for future use.
II. Procedures to Install a Board

Figure 4-6 shows how to install a board in a service subrack.
Figure 4-6 Installing a board Proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Make sure the slot where you install the board. Unscrew the dummy panel and remove it from this slot. Wear an ESD-preventive strap. Take out the board to be installed. Hold tight the ejector levers on the board with both hands, turn them outward, and then insert the board along the guide rails smoothly until the positioning pins on the front panel contact the positioning holes on the subrack.
6) 7)
Turn the ejector levers inward to let the positioning pins on the front panel go smoothly into the positioning holes on the base plate. Screw the board.
Chapter 5 Installation of Protection Ground Cables and Power Cables

Stable power supply system and grounding system are the basis of normal operation of the whole system. This chapter presents the procedures of installing PGND cables and power cables.
5.2 Introduction to Power Supply System and Protection Grounding System

5.2.1 Introduction to Power Supply System
I. Power Supply Path of Power Distribution Subrack
The MSOFTX3000 uses N68-22 cabinets. Generally, an MSOFTX3000 cabinet is powered by two independent 48V DC power supplies. The power of the components in the cabinet is controlled by the power distribution subrack on the top of the cabinet. See Figure 5-1 for the power supply path of the power distribution subrack.
-48V1 -48V2
Power distribution subrack
SW1
SW2
SW3 SW4
SW5
SW6
Figure 5-1 Power supply path of power distribution subrack To enhance the reliability of the power supply to internal components of the cabinet, the power distribution subrack combines two input power into one with a large-power diode, and exports to the six power switches (SW1SW6) on its panel through a power bus cable. Each of the six switches powers some of the components in the cabinet. When one of the input power supplies fails, the other can still power the internal components of the cabinet.
II. Power Supply Path in Cabinet

The MSOFTX3000 cabinets include integrated configuration cabinet and service processing cabinet. As each type of cabinet is installed with different components, the internal power supply paths (48V power supply system) are also different. Figure 5-2 shows the connection of power cables from power distribution subrack to internal components. Table 5-1 shows the relationships between cable numbers and cable names, and Table 5-2 shows the relationships between switches (SW1 to SW6) on the front panel of the power distribution subrack and the power supplies of the internal components.

To avoid misoperation, the maintenance staff should carefully check and confirm the relations between the power distribution subrack and the components before installation.
5.2.2 Introduction to Protection Grounding System

The MSOFTX3000 equipment adopts joint grounding mode. The protection grounding cables for each cabinet are connected to DC power distribution cabinet that conducts grounding, and all cabinets are connected by protection grounding cables as an equipotential system. The protection grounding cables of the internal components of a cabinet are interconnected through the grounding bars on the side columns of cabinets. Through the protection grounding cables of the cabinet, the grounding bars are connected to the PGND of the DC power distribution cabinet, which is connected with the protection grounding bus in equipment room.
The protection grounding cables of a cabinet include: Protection grounding cables for service subracks, Protection grounding cable for KVMS, Protection grounding cables for LAN Switches, Protection grounding cables for iGWB and BAM servers, Protection grounding cables for cabinet doors, Protection grounding cables for connecting grounding bars of adjacent cabinets. For details about the appearance, sizes, and specifications of protection grounding cables, see HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Mobile SoftSwitch Center Hardware Description Manual.
5.3 Installation Principles

Installation of PGND cables and power cables must conform to the following principles: Generally, DC power distribution cabinets are provided by the customer. The installation method of DC power distribution cabinets is similar to that of N68-22 cabinets. For details, see Chapter 3 "Cabinet Installation". The PGND bar of DC power distribution cabinet must be correctly connected to the nearest PGND bar offered by the customer through main PGND cables. PGND cables use green and yellow plastic insulation copper core wires whose core area is the same as that of power cables. Internal power cables of N68-22 cabinets are connected to connecting terminals on power distribution boxes (PDBs) before delivery. After installing internal components, connect the other end of power cables to the components. Before installation, mark or stick labels on both ends of each PGND cable and power cable, to indicate connected devices and ensure correct connection. For details, see Appendix D "Facture of Cable Labels".

Figure 5-3 shows the general procedure of installing PGND cables and power cables.

Similarly, use terminals for positive line banks and lightning protection ground one by one from left to right. However, if you lead power cables from power distribution cabinets, use terminals in a converse principle, that is, from bottom to top and from right to left.
To install PGND cables and power cables between a DC distribution cabinet and a MSOFTX3000 cabinet, proceed as follows: 1) Prepare cables. a) Measure the exact distance between the DC distribution cabinet and connecting terminals on the cabinet PDB. b) Prepare long enough cables. If you need a longer cable when routing cables, use a new long enough one and reroute it instead of splicing or soldering cables. 2) Mount connecting terminals for power cables. Mount OT terminals at the power cable ends connecting with the DC distribution cabinet in the following way: a) b) Mount heat shrinkable tubes. Apply soldering tin. For heavy-section power cables, you can skip over this step. c) Solder or crimp OT terminals firmly. Be sure that the heat shrinkable tubes fully cover bare wires and OT terminal shafts. For details about how to mount connecting terminals for power cables, see Appendix C "Assembly of Cable Connectors". 3) Route cables for the DC distribution cabinet. a) b) Lead cables in from the cable outlet on the cabinet top. Route them along the lateral columns of cabinet, and then along the cabinet beam to a bus bar. Figure 5-12 shows the upward cabling in a DC distribution cabinet.
Figure 5-12 Upward cabling in a DC distribution cabinet 4) Route cables for the MSOFTX3000 cabinet. Upward cabling a) b) Connect PGND cables to cable posts on the cabinet top. Connect 48 V power cables and RTN (or called BGND previously) cables to PDB terminals through the cable outlet on the cabinet top. Downward cabling a) Lead PGND cables and power cables into the cabinet through the rotten-proof net at the cabinet bottom. b) Route cables along cable troughs on lateral columns, and through the cable outlet to the cabinet top. c) The next steps are the same as those of upward cabling.
5)
Connect PGND cables (yellow or yellow and green). Rout the PGND cable (sourced from the GND copper bus bar of PDB) from the cabling rack to the top of the cabinet, and connect the PGND cable to the ground bolt on the top of the cabinet.
6)
Connect 48 V power cables (blue). Connect the cord end terminals to the connecting terminals marked with "48V1" and "48V2" on the cabinet PDB, and the other ends respectively to the 48V1 and 48V2 output terminals of DC distribution cabinet. Figure 5-13 shows connecting terminals in a DC distribution cabinet.

Cut a proper rubber cover to seal the left space of the cable outlet on the cabinet top. 9) Bind cables. a) b) c) Separate cables in different colors. Tidy them up. Bind them every 200 mm.
10) Stick labels on both ends of cables, 30 mm apart from cable roots. 11) Check that cabling conforms to the following principles: Outside cabinets, PGND cables and power cables are routed and bound separately from other cables. Inside cabinets, power cables and ground cables are bound along inside cable troughs, whereas, signal cables along outside cable troughs. The routed cables are smooth without cross, rounded off at turnings. Reserved cable margins are proper. Flat washers and spring washers are added orderly for connecting OT terminals to GND copper bus bars or 48 V cable post.
5.4.5 Installing Power Bus Cables Between DC Distribution Cabinets and DC Switchboards
Power bus cables between DC distribution cabinets and DC switchboards include 48 V cables (blue) and ground cables (black), provided by the customer. Their specifications depend on engineering survey results.
Note: For how to count the core areas of these power bus cables, see Appendix B "Core Area Calculation of Power Bus Cables". If the sectional area of one existing power bus cable fails to meet the design requirement, combine two or more.
A DC distribution cabinet uses two groups of primary power supplies through five power bus cables: one 48V1 cable, one 48V2 cable, two ground cables, and one PGND cable. To connect these cables, proceed as follows: 1) Prepare cables. a) Measure the exact distances: Between the DC distribution cabinet and DC switchboard or DC supply Between the DC distribution cabinet and PGND bridge
b)
Prepare long enough cables. If you need a longer cable when routing cables, use a new long enough one and reroute it instead of splicing or soldering cables.
2)
Mount connecting terminals for power bus cables. Mount OT terminals at the power bus cable ends connecting with the DC distribution cabinet in the following way: a) b) Mount heat shrinkable tubes. Apply soldering tin. For heavy-section power bus cables, you can skip over this step. c) Solder or crimp OT terminals firmly. Be sure that the heat shrinkable tubes fully cover bare wires and OT terminal shafts. For details about how to mount connecting terminals for power bus cables, see Appendix C "Assembly of Cable Connectors".
3)
Route cables for the DC distribution cabinet. a) b) Lead cables in from the cable outlet on the cabinet top. Route them along the lateral columns of cabinet, and then along the cabinet beam to a bus bar. For upward cabling in a DC distribution cabinet, see Figure 5-12.
4)
Route cables for the DC switchboard. See step 3).
5)
Connect PGND cables (yellow or yellow and green). Securely connect the PGND bar of DC distribution cabinet to the PGND bar in the equipment room through main PGND cables.
6)
Connect 48 V power bus cables (blue). Connect one end respectively to the 48V1 and 48V2 input terminals on the cabinet PDB, and the other ends respectively to the 48 V DC negative line banks of DC switchboard or DC supplies. For connecting terminals in a DC distribution cabinet, see Figure 5-13.
Note: For the equipment with single power supply, connect both 48V1 and 48V2 input terminals of DC distribution cabinet to the 48 V output terminals of DC switchboard or DC supply.
7)
Connect GND cables (black). Connect one end of the GND cable to the GND input terminal on the cabinet PDB, and the other end to the 48 V DC positive line bank of DC switchboard or DC supplies. For connecting terminals in a DC distribution cabinet, see Figure 5-13.
8)
Bind cables. a) b) c) Separate cables in different colors. Tidy them up. Bind them every 200 mm.
9)
Stick labels on both ends of cables, 30 mm apart from cable roots. Cables within cabinets are smooth without cross, bound in the same colors. Reserved cable margins are proper. As needed, cables are bound by ties of different types. The cable ties are in the same direction, sheared without sharp ends. Flat washers and spring washers are added for securely fixing OT terminals, as shown in Figure 5-14.

6.3 Installation Requirements

This section presents requirements and modes of cabling.
6.3.1 Cabling Requirements

Route signal cables in accordance with the following requirements: Before installing a cable, mark it or stick engineering labels to it at both ends to indicate connected devices and its sequence. For details, see Appendix D "Facture of Cable Labels". Separately route and bind cables of different types, such as power cables, signal cables, and ground cables. When routing cables inside a cabinet, bind power
cables and ground cables along inside cable troughs, whereas, bind signal cables along outside cable troughs. When routing cables vertically, route and bind them along left and right columns. When routing cables horizontally, route and bind them along bundling bars. If you route power cables and signal cables in a same groove, maintain at least 50 mm between them and bind them separately. Ensure that joint parts of connectors are secure and in good contact. Bind cables tidily and with proper tightness.
6.3.2 Cabling Modes

There is one rectangle cable hole at each of the four corners on the top and at the bottom of a cabinet, as shown in Figure 6-3. All the cable holes are equipped with plastic rodent-proof bags.
Figure 6-3 Positions of cable holes on a cabinet You must lead cables into or out of N68-22 cabinets from the back. With respect to actual conditions of an equipment room, you can route cables upward on cable racks or downward on the floor.
Caution: When routing cables through the cable holes equipped with plastic rodent-proof bags, lead cables through the bags. After cabling, tie the plastic rodent-proof bags and ensure no space left around the cables. Be sure to tidy up cables and bind them in coils. Leading cables into or out of cabinets only differ in directions.
Upward cabling Route cables as follows: 1) 2) Lead cables into the cabinet through the two back cable holes on the top of the cabinet. Route them down along the side columns of the cabinet to connected devices. Downward cabling Route cables as follows: 1) 2) Lead cables into the cabinet through the two back cable holes at the bottom of the cabinet. Route them up along the side columns of the cabinet to connected devices.
Downward cabling is fit for antistatic floors. You need to route external cables through cable troughs or racks. For detailed methods, see Appendix A "Cabling Rack Installation".

6.4.2 Installing Straight Through Cables Between LAN Switches

Through straight through cables, the active and standby LAN Switches in an integrated configuration cabinet can: Detect heartbeat signals. Work in redundancy mechanism. Ensure data security. To install a straight through cable between an active and a standby LAN Switch, proceed as follows:
1) 2) 3) 4)
Insert the RJ-45 connectors at both cable ends respectively into the Ethernet ports on the FE modules in the front of the LAN Switches. Tidy up the cable and bind it along cable troughs. Make and stick labels. Check that the cable is correctly connected.
6.4.3 Installing Straight Through Cables Between LAN Switches and iGWB/BAM Servers
An integrated configuration cabinet is configured with two iGWB servers and one BAM server. Two straight through cables connect a server respectively with the active and standby LAN Switches. Because the ports of LAN Switches are arranged on the front panels, while the ports of the servers are arranged on the back panels, it is required to lay the network cables which connect the servers and LAN Switches through cabling trough to the back.
Note: BAM is configured with four network adapters before delivery: network adapters 0 to 3. (The numbering principle is from left to right and from bottom to top.)
I. When HP Servers Are Used as iGWBs/BAM

The port configuration scheme is as follows: The network port of network adapter 1 (position: upper left) is connected to LAN Switch 0, and the network port of network adapter 2 (position: on the left of the rightmost network adapter) is connected to LAN Switch 1, as shown in Figure 6-1. To install the cables, proceed as follows: 1) In accord with the port configuration scheme, insert the RJ-45 connectors at one end of the cables into the associated Ethernet ports on the front panels of LAN Switches. 2) Route the cables along the cable tray under each LAN Switch to the cabinet rear. Separate the cables and route them down along the vertical cable troughs at the sides. 3) 4) 5) 6) Evenly bind the cables, with some margins reserved at turnings. Insert the RJ-45 connectors at the other end of cables into associated ports of servers, as shown in Figure 6-5. Make and stick labels. Check that the cables are correctly connected.
Figure 6-5 Connection positions of straight through cables on HP server
Note: Straight through cables also connect the BAM server and emergency workstations with hubs. In this way, emergency workstations can periodically back up BAM data. Install two straight through cables between an emergency workstation and the active and standby LAN Switches. When the BAM server works normally, the two cables are disconnected. In case of BAM failure, connect the two cables for the emergency workstation to assume the functions of BAM server.
II. When IBM Servers Are Used as iGWBs/BAM

The port configuration scheme is as follows: The network port of network adapter 1 (position: upper left) is connected to LAN Switch 0, and the network port of network adapter 2 (position: lower right) is connected to LAN Switch 1, as shown in Figure 6-2. To install the cables, proceed as follows: 1) In accord with the port configuration scheme, insert the RJ-45 connectors at one end of the cables into the associated Ethernet ports on the front panels of LAN Switches. 2) Route the cables along the cable tray under each LAN Switch to the cabinet rear. Separate the cables and route them down along the vertical cable troughs at the sides. 3) 4) Evenly bind the cables, with some margins reserved at turnings. Insert the RJ-45 connectors at the other end of cables into associated ports of servers, as shown in Figure 6-6.
5) 6)
Make and stick labels. Check that the cables are correctly connected.
Figure 6-6 Connection positions of straight through cables on IBM server
Note: Straight through cables also connect the BAM server and emergency workstations with hubs. In this way, emergency workstations can periodically back up BAM data. Install two straight through cables between an emergency workstation and the active and standby LAN Switches. When the BAM server works normally, the two cables are disconnected. In case of BAM failure, connect the two cables for the emergency workstation to assume the functions of BAM server.
6.4.4 Installing Straight Through Cables Between LAN Switches and WHSCs
Each of the active and standby WHSCs in a basic or an extension subrack has six 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet ports. By using straight through cables, the ports marked "10/100BT6" at the uppermost of the active and standby WHSCs are connected to the active and standby LAN Switches respectively. Thus, the service processing subsystem can communicate with the BAM, and service processing subracks can interconnect with each other. To install straight through cables between LAN Switches and WHSCs, proceed as follows: 1) 2) Insert the RJ-45 connectors at one end of two cables respectively into the uppermost ports 10/100BT6 of the active and standby WHSCs. Route the cables in the following ways:
If the active and standby WHSCs reside in an integrated configuration cabinet, route the cables along their subrack beams, then down along the vertical cable troughs at the sides, and along the cable trough under each LAN Switch to the front panels of LAN Switches. If the active and standby WHSCs reside in a service processing cabinet, lead the cables connecting WHSCs with the LAN Switches in the integrated configuration cabinet out of the service processing cabinet. For the methods of leading cables into or out of cabinets, see section 6.3.2 "Cabling Modes". 3) 4) 5) 6) Evenly bind the cables, with some margins reserved at turnings. Following the port configuration scheme, insert the RJ-45 connectors at the other end of the cables into the Ethernet ports on the front panels of LAN Switches. Make and stick labels. Check that the cables are correctly connected. That is, the WHSC in slot 7 connects with the LAN Switch in slot 1 and the WHSC in slot 9 with the LAN Switch in slot 0.
6.4.5 Installing Straight Through Cables Between WHSCs and WSIUs

To install a straight through cable between a WHSC and a WSIU, proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) Insert the RJ-45 connectors at the ends of the cable respectively into the Ethernet ports of the WHSC and WSIU, as shown in Figure 6-7. Tidy up the cable and bind it along cable troughs. Make and stick labels. Check that the cable is correctly connected.

To install a serial cable between iGWB servers, proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) Connect the two ends of the cable respectively to the RS232 serial ports at the back of the iGWB servers. Tidy up the cables and bind them along cable troughs. Make and stick labels. Check that the cables are correctly connected.
Note: The active and standby iGWB servers are connected with the bill console or network management devices through a hub. The external network cable connecting with the hub also serves as the first transfer path of heartbeat signal for the dual backup of iGWB servers. An RS232 serial port resides on the right of the KVMS port at the back of an iGWB server, as shown in Figure 6-5.

6.5.3 Installing Trunk Cables Between the MSOFTX3000 and DDF

Route trunk cables in conformity to the following principles: Before cabling, measure the exact length needed. If cables are not long enough during actual cabling, reroute proper cables. If you need to lengthen cables, do not solder cables. Instead, splice cables using dedicated coaxial cable connector. In an equipment room with the antistatic floor, downward cabling is preferred. Bend cables at cabinet bottoms or tops and reserve some margins. Lead them into the cabinet, and lay them along both sides of the cabinet. Distribute them to the subracks one by one. Other cabling positions or directions are not allowed. For upward cabling, lay cable racks over cabinets for routing cables.
When cables go out of cable racks, lead them from the side of racks rather than between rack rungs. If the distance between cable racks and cable troughs on cabinet tops is within 0.8 m, cables can directly go from cable racks to cable troughs. If the distance between cable racks and cable troughs on cabinet tops is over 0.8 m, use downward cable ladders to fix cables.
Note: The WEPI is configured in the active-standby mode. However, only the active WEPI connects with trunk cables.
To install a trunk cable, proceed as follows: 1) Connect the DB50 connector of trunk cable to the 50-pin socket on the active WEPI, as shown in Figure 6-15.
WEPI
(1) 50-pin socket
(2) DB50 connector
(3) E1 cable
Figure 6-15 Connection of a trunk cable and a WEPI 2) Route the cable in the following way: a) b) c) Lead the cable out of the WEPI panel. Route it up or down along the left side column at the cabinet rear and then out of the cabinet. Route it along cable racks or troughs to the distribution frame in the equipment room. For the methods of upward or downward cabling, see section 6.3.2 "Cabling Modes". 3) 4) Tidy up the cable and bind it. Connect the other end of the cable to a digital distribution frame (DDF). If the cable is a 75-ohm coaxial cable, insert its SMB connector.
If the cable is a 120-ohm twisted pair, use a dedicated cable fixture to fix the cable on the cable distribution box of DDF. 5) 6) Make and stick labels. Check that the cable is correctly connected.
6.5.4 Installing External Ethernet Cables

External Ethernet cables connect external networking devices to external Ethernet ports on back interface boards of the MSOFTX3000 devices. Table 6-3 provides the port connecting information of the WBFI (single port, double ports) Table 6-3 Network port connecting information of the WBFI (single network port, double network ports) Pairing relation of boards WBFI (double network ports) + WIFM (750C board series) WBFI (single network port) + WIFM (750C board series) Port to Connect on the WBFI 10/100BT2 10/100BT
Note: For the differences between 750C board series and 750B board series, refer to Appendix A of MSOFTX3000 Hardware Description.
To install an external Ethernet cable for a MSOFTX3000 device, proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Locate the external device and connect the cable to it. Route the cable in the same way as routing trunk cables. For details, see 6.5.3 2). Tidy up the cable and bind it. Make and stick labels. Check that the cable is correctly connected.
6.5.5 Installing Optical Fibers

I. Connecting Optical Fibers
The WBAI is the optical interface board of MSOFT3000, and it has two optical interface subboards. Each subboard provides one 155 Mbit/s port. One the front panel of optical interface subboard, "TX" indicates transmitting and "RX" indicates receiving. Generally, the optical fibers are marked "1" and "2" or "A" and "B" on one end. "1" or "A" is connected to the transmitting port on optical interface subboard, and "2" or "B" is connected to the receiving port of optical interface subboard. The other end of the optical fiber is connected to the optical distribution frame (ODF).
II. Laying Optical Fibers

To install the optical fibers, use corrugated tube delivered with the equipment to cover them. For the optical fibers from the ODF to MSOFTX3000, lead the optical fibers into the cabinet from the top or bottom of the cabinet according to the specific cabling mode on site. The fibers inside the cabinet do not need to be covered with corrugated tube. Pay attention to the following items when you lay optical fibers: Do not fold, stretch or press the optical fibers. Never fold the optical fiber to right angle. If necessary, make circular arc to curve the fiber. The diameter of the circular arc must not be less than 80 mm, and fibers in pair must be bound neatly. To lay the optical fibers, use curves as few as possible, and do not tighten cable ties. If fibers are laid between rows and columns, lay the fibers through cabling bridge and use corrugated plastic tubes when cabling bridge is adopted. Lay the optical fibers conforming to their nature. Do not force to pull or stretch the fibers. The fibers on horizontal lever must be bound every 150 mm with proper strength. The labels at both ends of an optical fiber must be clear indicating the corresponding numbers and relations between cabinets and between cabinet rows.
Caution: Be careful to insert and pull out optical fiber. Use a little strength to insert the fiber until the fiber snaps in the place. To pull fibers out, do not force to pull them. First, pinch the handle of the connector, push it in softly and then pull it out. Direct pulling might damage the optical connector. Take care of laser components and end surface of optical connector. Use absorbent cotton with alcohol to clean them when necessary. Do not look at the end surface of the fiber powered on. Cover the optical fiber with a dust-proof cover when the fiber is not in use.

A.3 Installing Indoor Cabling Rack

The cabling rack can be installed in three ways: Ceiling Installing or Floor Installing Wall Installing Over-Cabinet Installing
Caution: The cabling rack shall be insulated from the floor, ceiling, or wall.
A.3.1 Ceiling Installing or Floor Installing

I. Cautions
Note the following cautions for the ceiling or floor installing: The spacing between suspending lever and support lever must be an integral multiple of 50 mm. The recommended value is 1250 mm, that is, each cabling segment is supported by two suspending levers or two support levers. For ceiling installing or floor installing, be sure to install the suspending lever or supporting lever outside the cabling ladder for easy installation of cabling trough. Add the insulating pad and insulating washer during installing. When fixing the bracket angle to the ceiling or floor with the expansion bolts, replace the flat washer on the expansion bolt with the large flat washer 8. Use the bolt M6 x 20 to connect the bracket angle with the suspending lever. If the cabling trough is selected, install the bolt as top as possible, and space the bolt at least 40 mm from the cabling ladder, as shown in Figure A-2.
II. Concepts
When the cabling rack is not installed against the wall, you can select the ceiling installing or floor installing. For ceiling installing, use the suspending lever to connect to the ceiling. For floor installing, use the support lever to connect to the floor.
III. Procedure
Ceiling installing and floor installing are similar. The following takes the ceiling installing for example to describe the installing procedure.
To install the cabling rack to the ceiling, proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Determine the position for installing the cabling rack according to the engineering files. Determine and mark the position for installing the suspending lever according to the cabling rack position. Select a 10 bit to drill holes at the marked positions, with the hole depth of 60 mm to 65 mm. Screw on the nut M8 anticlockwise to the top of the expansion bolt M8 x 80, and put them into the holes vertically. Knock the expansion bolt with a claw hammer until the tube is knocked completely into the ceiling. Take off the flat washer, spring washer and nut from the expansion bolt. Cut the U-steel with a proper length as the suspending lever according to the height of the cabling rack and equipment room.
Note: When the required length exceeds 2.5 m, you can connect two U-steels together. For the connection method, refer to section A.4.1 Remember to paint the cut area. "Assembling Cabling Ladders."

A.3.2 Wall Installing

You can install the cabling rack against the wall if necessary.
I. Cautions
Note the following when using the triangular support for wall installing: When fixing the triangular support to the wall, be sure to add insulating pad and insulating washer for insulation between support and wall. When using the expansion bolt to fix the support to the wall, you need to use large flat washer 8 instead of the washer of the expansion bolt. The spacing between two adjacent triangular supports must be an integer multiple of 50 mm. Otherwise, the cabling ladder and the support cannot be fixed. The recommended value is 1250 mm, that is, each cabling segment is supported by two triangular supports.
II. Procedure
To install the cabling rack to the wall, proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) Determine the position for installing the cabling rack according to the engineering files. Determine and mark the position for installing the triangle support. Mark the positions for drilling holes on the wall through the triangle support. Install two triangle supports for each cabling ladder segment and keep the distance of 1250 mm between every two supports. Select a 10 bit to drill holes at the marked positions, with the hole depth of 60 mm to 65 mm. Screw on the nut M8 x 80 anticlockwise to the top of the expansion bolt, and put them into the holes. Knock the expansion bolt with a claw hammer until the tube is knocked completely into the wall. Take off the flat washer, spring washer and nut from the expansion bolt, while put on the insulating pad. Put the triangle support through its holes on to the expansion bolt, and add the insulating washer, large flat washer 8, spring washer 8 and nut M8 on to the expansion bolt. 10) Screw on the nut M8 to fasten the triangle support against the wall, as shown in Figure A-4.

Appendix B Core Area Calculation for Power Bus Cables

B.1 Introduction to the Appendix
Power bus cables with standard core areas ensure the quality and stability of the power supply. This appendix briefs the formula and method of computing core areas of power bus cables.
B.2 Computing Core Areas of Power Bus Cables

The core area (mm2) of a power bus cable is given by the following formula: S = I x L / ( x K) Where, I (unit: A): total current through a cable L (unit: m): length of cable loop, that is, the distance between the power distribution cabinet and the equipment multiplied by 2 (unit: V): allowable voltage drop, generally less than 1 V K: conductive coefficient (Kcopper = 57 and Kaluminium = 34)
B.3 Computing Core Areas of Battery Bus Cables

Computing the core area of a battery bus cable involves such factors as: Load current Distance between battery and power distribution cabinet Allowable voltage drop between battery and power distribution cabinet Battery capacity The core area (mm2) of a battery bus cable is also given by the formula: S = I x L / ( x K) The allowable lowest voltage for MSOFTX3000 is 40 V, and the battery protection voltage of power supply specified by Huawei is 43.2 V. Thus the allowable maximum voltage drop is 0.8 V for the power bus cable between the power supply and the device. Generally, the voltage drop is 3.2 V.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary B-1
Note: In terms of design, the total current through a cable is computed when the equipment is in full configuration. If the distance is short, a very small voltage drop is acceptable.
B.4 Giving an Example

If the total current is 200 A, and the loop between the power distribution cabinet and the equipment is 10 multiplied by 2 m, the sectional area of the copper cable is: S = (200 x 10 x 2) / (57 x 0.8) = 88 (mm2) Power bus cables include the following types: 4 mm2, 16 mm2, 25 mm2, 35 mm2, 50 mm2, 70 mm2, 95 mm2, 120 mm2, and 150 mm2. In this case, you can select 95 mm2 copper cables.

Appendix C Assembly of Cable Connectors

C.1 Introduction to the Appendix
This appendix details the methods and procedures of mounting cable connectors.
C.2 Mounting Power Cable Connectors

This section introduces the methods of mounting naked crimping connectors for 50 mm2 to 240 mm2 power cables.
C.2.1 Using and Maintaining Crimping Tools

The methods of using crimping tools vary with tool types. Figure C-1 shows a common crimping tool SS-325 for heavy-section power cable connectors.

(3) Hand level
Figure C-1 SS-325 parts
I. Crimping Cables
Caution: Improper pressure pieces, stressed pieces, or fixed levers will shorten the service life of a crimping tool.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary C-1
To crimp a cable, proceed as follows: 1) Select crimping parts as needed. If bad contact, or core wire distort or damage happens during cable crimping, reselect proper crimping parts. 2) 3) Fit the pressure piece, stressed piece, and fixed handle together. Make the following preparations for cable crimping: Loosen the fixed handle and put the crimping tool at a place good for operation. Open the hydraulic selector and push the manual lever. 4) 5) Put in the cable to be crimped. Crimp the cable using the manual lever. If a black line is displayed at the hydraulic selector, cable crimping ends. 6) Close the hydraulic selector. After crimping cables, close the hydraulic selector and remove the crimping parts.
Note: If no black line is displayed after you crimp a cable, you need to have the tool repaired. The SS0325 tool does not show such a black line. After using the tool, place it in a cool and ventilated place unreachable for children. Meanwhile, avoid direct sunshine.
II. Maintaining Crimping Tools

You must regularly oil the crimping components, hydraulic switch and the tool body, and replace oil in tools every two years. To add or replace oil for a tool, proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) Close the hydraulic selector. Remove the fixed lever to show up the oil embolus. Place the oil embolus upward and unscrew the oil plug. Add oil using a small oil can. a) After pouring oil into the can for a while, tap the tool against something hard to expel the air inside it. b) c) Continue pouring oil. Repeat steps a and b until the pot is full.
Caution: Wear gloves when filling oil. Eye contact or skin contact of the oil may cause inflammation. The oil is inedible. Put it in the place unreachable for children. In the case of eye contact, wash eyes with clean water within 15 minutes and seek medical assistance as soon as possible. In the case of skin contact, wash the area thoroughly with clean water. Dispose it according to the requirements of the related law for environmental protection.

(1) Rolling direction
Figure C-3 Measuring cables 2) 3) Measure the cable according to the cable layout of the project design. Cut off the cable.
Note: A power cable comprises many fairly fine and soft core wires. Therefore, use a denticulate arm saw with a denticulate diameter of 0.8 mm or use a wire clipper of model KT35 to cut power cables.
II. Mounting a Heat Shrinkable Tube

Mount a required heat shrinkable tube through the stripped end onto the cable.
III. Stripping the Cable
Caution: When stripping a cable, cut off any oxidized or corroded part of its core wires.
Use a special cable stripper, or an electrical knife, or an AM35 round cable stripper to strip cables. Proceed as follows: 1) Count the cable length to be stripped. The length depends on the crimping sleeve length behind the naked crimping connector. Figure C-4 shows a stripped cable with a JG naked crimping connector commonly used by Huawei. The length is computed using the formula: L1 = L2 + (2 mm to 3 mm) Where, L1: length of the stripped cable L2: length of the effective crimping area of JG connector

III. Crimping the Cable

Use a pair of RJ-45 crimping pliers to crimp connectors. Figure C-16 shows a mounted RJ-45 connector.
Figure C-16 A mounted RJ-45 connector Crimping an RJ-45 connector must conform to the following principles: Before crimping the connector, place it right in the slot of the crimping pliers. Be sure to crimp the connector fully. That is, after the crimping, the metal cutter must be below the plane of the connector head.
In addition, if you crimp a shielded RJ-45 connector for a shielded cable, you must also ensure that the built-in shielding plate of the connector securely connects with the folded shielding layer of the cable.
IV. Checking the Connector

Proceed as follows: 1) Check the appearance carefully. Check that: The connector is intact. The cable is inserted into the right position. 2) Check the wire sequence. The wire sequence must meet the design requirements. 3) Test the cable continuity. The continuity ratio must be 100%. No short circuit arises between the core wires.
Note: For shielded cables mounted with shielded RJ-45 connectors, you must test the continuity between shielding shells of connectors and shielding layers of cables.

Measure the cable using a multimeter to make sure that no short circuit occurs to the inner and outer conductors. 3) Test the cable continuity. Measure the cable using the multimeter to make sure the following continuity: Between the connector pin and the inner conductor of the coaxial cable Between the connector surface and the shielding lay of the coaxial cable 4) Check the tensile strength. Draw the inner pin with proper force (about 60 N). The pin must hold the line.
Appendix D Facture of Cable Labels

D.1 Introduction to the Appendix
The engineering label is a kind of equipment identification for correct and orderly onsite installation and convenient future maintenance.
Note: The power cables involved in this appendix exclude power bus cables. You can fill labels at the request of the customer to ensure the consistency of all labels in an equipment room. In this case, you must state it in the self-check report. The orientations described in this appendix are with respect to the positions of onsite engineers, other than the descriptions about printer setup.
This appendix consists of the following parts: Introduction to Labels Precautions Deciding Label Contents Deciding Information Places on Labels Printing or Writing Labels Sticking or Binding Labels Checking Labels
D.2 Introduction to Labels

This section introduces labels from their features, types, and structures.
D.2.1 Label Materials and Features

Required labels feature the following: They are 0.09 mm thick. Their color is white. They use polyester (PET) as materials, certificated by Underwriter Laboratories Incorporation (UL) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). They are applicable to the temperature from 29C to +149C. They can be used for laser printing and written by oil markers.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary D-1
D.2.2 Label Types and Structures

Engineering labels fall into signal cable labels and power cable labels.
I. Signal Cable Labels

Signal cable labels are in the flap-type structure of fixed size (unit: mm), as shown in Figure D-1.

For example, a dividing line lies between a cabinet number and a subrack number, and another one between the subrack number and a slot number. A dividing line is 1.5 mm x 0.6 mm in size, with the color of Pantone 656c (light blue). A cut dotted line helps fold a label when sticking the label. The line is 1.0 mm x 2.0 mm in size.
Note: There is a mark TO: (upside down in the figure) at the lower right corner of the label. The mark is used to identify the opposite end of the cable on which the label is affixed.
II. Power Cable Labels

A power cable label is symmetric on both sides. It is stuck on the middle area of the identification plate on a cable tie. Around the label is an embossment (0.2 mm x 0.6 mm). Figure D-2 shows the label paper for power cables.

D.5 Deciding Label Contents

Before making labels, you must decide label contents according to cable types and cable routing.
D.5.1 Labels for External Cables of Alarm Box

The external cables of alarm box are connected with the first subscriber cabinet of each row (used for power distribution). Labels pasted on the first cabinet of each row shows which equipment is using the access terminal. Labels are not needed on the equipment side unless there is special requirement. In this case, only Area 2 of the label is filled in, as shown in Figure D-12. Table D-1 shows the information on the labels of alarm box external cables.
Table D-1 Information on labels affixed to the external cables of alarm box Content Meaning Example M: The cabinet rows from front to back are numbered from A to Z. N: The cabinet columns from left to right are numbered from 01 to 99. For example, A01 indicates a cabinet at Row A, Column 01.
MN
MN: serial number of the cabinet in the equipment room
Note: Generally, the above numbering method is enough to identify the position of a specific cabinet. If cabinets are installed in a back-to-back manner, the facing direction of the cabinet must be specified, the numbering method like MNO is used. Here, O means the direction of the cabinet, which can be A or B. On the cable labels described below, this numbering method is used, unless otherwise stated.
Figure D-4 shows a label on the alarm cable, on which A01 shows that the alarm cable is connected from the first cabinet to the cabinet at Row A, Column 01 in the equipment room.
Figure D-4 Example of the label on the alarm cable
Note: The label on the alarm cable carries simple information, and only part of the text area needs to be filled in. It is recommended to keep the whole length of the label instead of cutting out the blank area.
D.5.2 Labels for Ethernet Cables

Labels of this type apply to Ethernet cables connecting such devices as boards, LAN Switches, servers, and routers.
TO: A01
I. Facture Principles
For Ethernet cables between LAN Switches and servers, between LAN Switches and routers, or between other devices, their label contents depend on actual environment. For an Ethernet cable between a LAN Switch and a server

D.7 Printing or Writing Labels

You can print or write information on labels. Printing is more efficient and more pleasing to eyes.
D.7.1 Printing Labels

The following describes how to print labels.
I. Obtaining the Print Template

You must use the print template to print labels. By the following means, you can obtain the print template: Download it from http://support.huawei.com/default.asp. Ask Huaweis local office for it.
II. Setting the Print Template

When setting the print template, conform to the following principles: Directly change the contents on the template in accord with the actual cable locations. However, be sure not to change template specifications such as the settings of centered characters, directions, or fonts. Zoom out characters only when they are too many to be held. Make sure that the printouts are clear and legible.
III. Setting Printer Properties
Caution: If a prompt box is displayed as shown in Figure D-13, click <Ignore> to continue printing. You must set printer properties as above mentioned for the first use of the print template. After setup, you can save the settings and invoke them when needed. Labels are made up of special materials. Auto paper feeding may cause paper jam. Therefore, you must manually feed paper one piece after another.
Figure D-13 Prompting overstepped margins in the process of printing

Before printing labels, set up pages, and adjust page settings by trial printing. Proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Use a laser printer of any model. Check that the settings of printer properties such as "Paper size" and "Direction" are correct. Print on blank ordinary print paper. Put the printed paper on a piece of standard label paper. Check whether they match. If yes, print property setup ends. If no, go on with step 6. 6) 7) 8) Select [File/Page Setup]. Change the specifications under the tab [Margins]. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until the printout matches a standard label.
IV. Checking Print Effects

Check that printed labels meet the following requirements: All printouts are within writable cells on labels. Center the contents in each cell. In a single line printout, avoid printing characters on dividing lines and the typeface "TO:". If you must merge several cells and print a piece of information in several lines, adjust the positions of printed contents to avoid overlapping characters on labels.
D.7.2 Writing Labels

When writing information on labels, conform to the following principles: Use black oil markers delivered with the device. Write labels with the smaller nib of a black oil marker. Write labels in accord with the standard typefaces as listed in Table D-9. Table D-9 Standard typefaces 0 9 I R 1 A J S 2 B K T 3 C L U 4 D M V 5 E N W 6 F O X 7 G P Y 8 H Q Z

E.3 Requirements for Power Supply

E.3.1 Requirements for AC Power Supply
I. Generic Requirements on AC Power Supply
Adopt the centralized AC power supply model of mains, uninterrupted power supply (UPS), and a reserved diesel generator. Ensure simplicity in cable connection, security in operation, flexibility in scheduling, and convenience in maintenance. Adopt three-phase and five-wire, or monophase three-wire AC power for low-voltage power supply system. Table E-7 lists the nominal voltage and rated frequency of low-voltage power supply system. Table E-7 Specifications of AC voltage and frequency Nominal voltage 110/127/220/380 V 50 Hz Rate frequency
Adopt UPS for the backup AC power supply. Keep it the same phase with mains. Set the switching time between mains and UPS less than 10 ms; otherwise, the product will reboot or reset itself.
Ensure that the equipment runs well below nominal current; never in the threshold of failure. For the AC power supply for the equipment room, consider the current when the devices are working or at fault. Use a separate AC power supply protection unit for a piece of separate device. The rated current to trigger the protection should be greater than the sum of the rated current for all the lower lever devices. When designing the DC power supply system, consider the maximum static and dynamic load of the system. Always keep sufficient room for the two thresholds. Choose the model of the power cables by the maximum load of power supply. The diesel generator set of the office automatically functions in case of power failure, automatically supply when the mains is insufficient, and automatically stops functioning when power restores. It can be tested and controlled remotely in standard interface and communication protocols.
II. Power Supply Specifications of AC-Powered Equipment

Here are the power supply specifications of AC-powered equipment: Voltage fluctuation of communications equipment: 10% +5% of rated voltage. Voltage fluctuation of power supply equipment and important buildings:15% +10% of rated voltage. Frequency fluctuation:4% +4%. Aberration rate of voltage sine wave: 5%.
III. Specifications of Power Cables

Here are the specifications of the power cables: Use the neutral line of the same cross-sectional area as the live line. Select the DC power feeder according to the long-term payload. If the cross section exceeds 95 mm2, use the hard bus cable. If there is a great difference between the recent and long-term payload, make the cabling by stages. Use fire-resistant AC cables. Route cables according to the local regulations, and set the low-voltage power distribution room according to the local regulations.
E.3.2 Suggestions on AC Power Supply

When the voltage of mains power supply is not stable, use the voltage regulator in any of the following conditions: Powered by mains, the voltage fluctuation of communications equipment exceeds the rated threshold (10% +5% of rated voltage). Powered by mains, the voltage exceeds the rated voltage fluctuation of communications equipment. Not directly powered by mains, the voltage fluctuation exceeds the rated threshold (15% +10% of rated voltage).
The voltage exceeds the rated AC voltage fluctuation of DC power supply equipment. Use UPS or inverter to prevent interruption or surge of power supply. Use a diesel generator set when the mains is faulty. The capacity of the generator set should 1.5 to 2 times of the capacity of UPS. Use two groups of storage batteries in parallel. Use one group of UPS storage batteries. The batteries can be working in parallel or serial connection. Use main inverter based on the maximum power. Keep a backup one.
E.3.3 Requirements for DC Power Supply

Ensure stable power supply. Close the power supply equipment to the communications equipment to minimize the feeder line. The voltage level between battery and the equipment should be less than 3.2 V. When there are more than two switching systems, use two or multiple independent power supply systems. Set up multiple independent power supply systems for important communication centers, each of which powers a separate equipment room. For ordinary offices, adopt the model of a centralized power supply room plus a battery room. For small-capacity offices, adopt the centralized power supply model. Always prevent the boards from the erosive chemicals given out from batteries. Table E-8 specifies the requirements on DC power supply. Table E-8 DC power supply specifications Item Voltage fluctuation of 48-V input end Anti-surge current capability 40 V 57 V Should be 1.5 times greater than the rated load current capability. When the AC input voltage range is from 85% to 110% of the rated value, and the load current is from 5% to 100% of the rated value, the output voltage of the current stabilizer is an integral value between 56.4 and 46.0 V. The variance is less than equal to 1%. Less than equal to the integral value of DC output value 5% 200mV The recovery time is less than 200 ms. The exceeding amount should not be more or less than 5% of the rated DC output voltage. Specifications

Voltage surge at power-on and power-off Peek-to-peek noise voltage Dynamic response
E.3.4 Suggestions on DC Power Supply

Use the distributed power supply model. Scatter the power supply systems to multiple sites. Adopt standard DC power supply system. The output voltage of the power supply equipment should meet the requirement of the communications equipment. Enhance the reliability of the power supply system. Optimize the capacity of the storage batteries. In small-capacity offices, when it is difficult to maintain the reliability of the power supply system, expand the capacity of the storage batteries. The total configuration of high-frequency switch rectifier should meet the load power of communication and the recharging power of the storage batteries. Adopt the redundant configuration model for the rectifier module. Use a standby rectifier for less than ten active ones; and add one rectifier for every additional ten active ones. Equip the storage batteries in two or multiple groups. The total capacity is determined by the power feeding duration. Ensure at least one hour of power supply capability for the storage battery group.
