About This Chapter
3.1 Reading the Safety Precautions

3.2 Checking the Installation Site
3.3 Checking the Cabinet/Rack
3.4 Checking the Power Distribution Environment
3.5 Preparing Installation Tools and Accessories

3.1 Reading the Safety Precautions

Read and follow all the safety cautions and instructions on the chassis or described in this
document to ensure personal and equipment safety during installation, operation, and
maintenance.
NOTICE, CAUTION, and DANGER items in this document do not cover all the safety
precautions and are only supplementary to general safety precautions.
Installation and maintenance personnel must be trained to perform operations correctly and
safely.
General Safety Guidelines
DANGER
In case of fire, immediately leave the building or equipment deployment site and press the fire
alarm button or call the fire department. Never enter the building on fire again in any
situation.
CAUTION
l Before performing any operation on a switch, wear ESD clothing and ESD gloves or an
ESD wrist strap. Remove conductive objects like jewelry and watch to avoid electric
shock or burn.
l After installing the switch on a cabinet/rack, connect the ground cable to the chassis before
any operations on the chassis and remove the ground cable only after you remove all the
other components and cables from the chassis.
Environmental Safety
DANGER
Do not place or operate the switch in an environment with flammable or explosive gases or
smoke.
CAUTION
l Keep the switch away from water or dampness to prevent damages to circuits.
l The switch heats up during operation. The installation site must be well ventilated to
ensure normal operation of the switch.

Electrical Safety
DANGER
l Direct contact with a high-voltage power source or indirect contact through damp objects
can be fatal. Misoperations on high-voltage facilities may result in fire, electric shock, or
other accidents.
l Never install or remove the switch or power cables while the power is on. The electric arc
or spark generated between a power cable and conductor may cause fire or eye damage.
l To protect personal and equipment safety, ground the switch before powering it on.
Laser Safety
CAUTION
l Invisible laser beams will cause eye damage. Do not look into open optical ports without
eye protection.
l After unplugging an optical fiber, cover the fiber connectors with dust caps.
Mechanical Safety
CAUTION
l Wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges when you are moving the chassis.
l Before carrying a heavy object, use appropriate tools to protect yourself from bruises or
sprains.
l Before pulling the chassis out of the cabinet/rack, check whether there are any unstable or
heavy objects on the cabinet. Be careful not to make the objects fall, which may cause
bodily injury.
l Do not drill holes on a cabinet without permission. Unqualified holes on a cabinet affect
the electromagnetic filter performance of the cabinet and cause damages to the cables in
the cabinet. In addition, metal scraps may fall into the cabinet when you are drilling holes,
causing short circuits on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
3.2 Checking the Installation Site
Checking the Site Temperature, Humidity, and Altitude

The S9300&S9300E series switches are used indoors. Ensure that the temperature, humidity,
and altitude in the installation site meet the following requirements:

l The switches must be installed in a clean, dry, well ventilated site with a stable
temperature. The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy
dew, and humidity.
l Dustproof measures must be taken at the site. Dust will cause electrostatic discharges on
the chassis and affect connections of metal connectors and joints. This shortens the
service life and may cause failures of the switches.
l The temperature and humidity at the site must be within acceptable ranges. For the
operating temperature and relative humidity ranges required by the S9300&S9300E
series switches, see 1 Switches Overview. If the relative humidity exceeds 70%, use
dehumidifiers or air conditioners with dehumidification features.
l There must be no acidic, alkaline, or other corrosive gases at the installation site.
l Keep the switches away from direct sunlight.
l Leave at least 50 mm clearance at the two sides and rear of the switch for heat
dissipation.
Measuring the Ground Resistance
NOTICE
l Do not measure the ground resistance immediately after a rain.
l The ground resistance in the equipment room should be lower than 1 ohm. In special
cases, the ground resistance should be no more than 5 ohms (no more than 10 ohms in an
area with high soil resistivity).
l The current probe and voltage probe of the ground resistance tester must be vertical to a
power line or an underground metal pipe.
Use a ground resistance tester to measure the ground resistance. Figure 3-1 shows how to
place the current and voltage probes of the tester.
Figure 3-1 Positions of the current and voltage probes

Ground grid
Voltage probe Current probe
d2
d1
Pay attention to the following points when measuring the ground resistance:
l The distance between the current probe and edge of the ground grid is d1, which is 4 to 5
times the maximum diagonal length (D) of the ground grid.

l The distance between the voltage probe and edge of the ground grid is d2, which is 50%
to 60% of d1.
l Move the voltage probe along the line between the ground grid and current probe three
times, over a certain distance (5% of d1) each time. If the resistance values obtained in
the three movements are similar, the ground resistance is normal.
NOTE
If the current probe cannot be placed over a distance of d1 away from the ground grid, change the
distance in this way: In an area with equal soil resistivity, take 2D instead of d1 and take D instead of d2.
In an area with unequal soil resistivity, take 3D instead of d1 and take 1.7D instead of d2.
3.3 Checking the Cabinet/Rack

The S9300&S9300E series switches can be installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet/rack. Table
3-1 describes the requirements for a cabinet.
Table 3-1 Requirements on the cabinet/rack for S9300&S9300E installation

The following figures show the full configurations of power modules in a switch.
NOTE
l If the PoE function is not required or supported, you do not need to configure PoE power modules or
the matching power distribution boxes. Determine the number of PoE power modules according to
your needs.
l In versions earlier than V200R006C00, only 800 W and 2200 W AC power modules can be used as
PoE power modules. In V200R006C00 and later versions, 2200 W DC power modules, 800 W AC
power modules, and 2200 W AC power modules can all be used as PoE power modules.
l As shown in Figure 3-4:
– Two system power modules of the S9300&S9300E work in 1+1 redundancy mode.
– In V200R006C00 and later versions, one 2200 W DC PoE power module on the
S9300 works in 1+0 mode.

l Each AC power module must be connected to an independent circuit breaker.
NOTE
l Select appropriate power cables according to the power supply distances. If the required power
supply distance exceeds the maximum power supply distance, use power distribution boxes. The
power supply distance is the cable length between the power distribution frame and power module.
l An 800 W AC power module provides a maximum output power of 800 W when the input voltage is
220 V. When the input voltage is 110 V, the maximum output power reduces to 400 W.
l A 2200 W AC power module provides a maximum output power of 2200 W when the input voltage
is 220 V. When the input voltage is 110 V, the maximum output power reduces to 1100 W.
l An 800 W power module may not provide sufficient power for a chassis if the input voltage is 110
V. In this case, use a 2200 W AC power module as the system power module.

30 cm. Use diagonal pliers to cut off redundant cable ties.

When a lot of cables are connected to a card, the cable management frame for this slot may
not have sufficient space. In this case, deploy cables in three layers without crossing each
other, and then put the three layers through the cable management frame. See Figure 7-23.

It is not recommended to connect copper cables and optical fibers to the same card because
copper cables may block the routes of optical fibers. If the copper cables and optical fibers are
used on the same card, connect the optical fibers to ports near the left side of the card and the
copper cables to ports near the right side, as shown in Figure 7-24.

7.4 Installing Optical Modules and Connecting Optical

Fibers
Context
NOTICE
l Do not look into bores of optical modules or connectors of optical fibers without eye
protection.
l The bend radius of an optical fiber must be 20 times larger than its diameter. Generally, the
bend radius of optical fibers should be no less than 40 mm.
l Install or remove optical fibers carefully to avoid damage to fiber connectors.
l If a fiber connector is dirty, use an alcohol swab or a piece of air-laid paper to gently wipe
the fiber connector in one direction.

l Scissors
l Insulation tape
l Corrugated pipe
l Fiber binding tape
l Engineering labels for optical fibers
Procedure
Step 2 Select optical fibers of appropriate modes, quantity, and lengths according to the optical
module types, number of ports to be connected, and measured cabling distance.
Step 3 Attach temporary labels on both ends of each optical fiber and write numbers on the labels.
For details on how to number optical fibers, see Engineering Labels for Optical Fibers.
Step 4 Unroll optical fibers and bundle them. See Table 7-1 to determine the number of optical fibers
in each bundle. Cut protection pipes into appropriate lengths according to optical fiber
lengths, and then put optical fibers through the protection pipes. Wrap both ends of a
protection pipe with adhesive tape to prevent damage to optical fibers.

NOTICE
When routing optical fibers in a corrugated pipe, you must wrap both ends of the pipe with
adhesive tape to prevent shape edges of the pipe from damaging the optical fibers.
Table 7-1 lists the types and capacities of protection pipes.
Table 7-1 Protection pipe types and capacities

Type Maximum Number of Optical Fibers
Open corrugated pipe 60
Closed corrugated pipe 12
Winding pipe l Pipe with an external diameter of 6 mm:

10
l Pipe with an external diameter of 20
mm: 20
Step 5 (Optional) Route optical fibers from the optical distribution frame to the cabinet along the
planned path.
Open corrugated pipes are recommended. Keep 100 mm of a protection pipe inside the
cabinet, as shown in Figure 7-25.
Figure 7-25 Length of protection pipe inside the cabinet
100mm
Step 7 Remove dust plugs from the optical ports to be connected and install optical modules on the
optical ports.
Hold the connector of an optical module in the correct direction when inserting it into a port.
When you hear a click, the optical module is securely connected to the port. See Figure 7-27.

NOTE
The top side of a QSFP+ optical module is the side with an L-shaped recess, as shown in Figure 7-26.
When connecting a QSFP+ optical module to a port on a CSS card, make the top side face down. When
connecting a QSFP+ optical module to other types of ports, make the top side face up. Do not insert the
optical module backwards.

Context
The S9306 and S9312 switches support clustering using Cluster Switching System (CSS)
cards. When using this cluster mode, the switches must have double main control units
installed. In addition, the main control units must be the LE0DSRUA or LE0D00SRUB00
model, and have LE0D0VSTSA00 CSS cards installed in subcard slots.
MPUs in one chassis must be the same model. MPUs in the local and peer chassis can be
different models but are recommended to be the same model.
NOTICE
l When installing a copper cable, optical module, or optical fiber, you can determine that it
has been installed properly after hearing a click.
l When removing a copper cable, optical module, or optical fiber, push its connector or
handle slightly and then pull it out.
l Ensure that the bend radius of the copper cables or optical fibers is greater than the
minimum bend rand required. The minimum bend radius of a QSFP+ to QSFP+ copper
cable is 50.8 mm, and the minimum bend radius of an optical fiber is generally larger than
or equal to 40 mm.

11.1 Replacing a Power Module
Context
CAUTION
l Before replacing a power module, turn off the power switch on the power module, and
then turn off the corresponding circuit breaker in the power distribution cabinet to power
off the power module.
l Be careful of the heat on a power module when replacing it.
l When removing a power module, do not touch the operating power modules with your
body or any tools to avoid electric shocks or short circuits.
To replace the power modules in a running switch, take the following measures to avoid
impact of the replacement on the running services:
l If there are empty power slots in the switch, install a new power module in an empty slot
first. Remove the power module to be replaced after the new power module starts to
work normally. Then replace other power modules one by one.
l If all the power slots in the switch are occupied, determine whether replacing a power
module will affect the running services. It is recommended that you replace the power
modules one by one, and replace the next one when the new power module works
normally.
NOTE
The following procedure replaces a vertically installed power module. The procedure for replacing a
horizontally installed power module is similar.
Tools
Procedure
Step 1 Find the power module that needs to be replaced.
Before replacing a power module, determine in which cabinet and chassis the power module
is installed, find the power module in the chassis, and attach a label on the panel of the power
module to avoid misoperation.
Step 2 Turn the power switch on the power module to the OFF position, and then turn off the
corresponding circuit breaker in the power distribution cabinet to power off the power
module.

DANGER
When replacing an optical module, do not look into bores of the optical module without eye
protection. The laser emitted from the bores may injure your eyes.
NOTICE
l Install or remove optical fibers carefully to avoid damage to fiber connectors.
l Optical modules are electrostatic-sensitive components; therefore, you must take ESD
protective measures when replacing optical modules.
l Do not insert an optical module backwards. If an optical module cannot be completely
inserted into an optical port, do not force it into the port. Turn the optical module over and
try again.
Observe the following rules to replace an optical module:
l Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves when replacing the optical module.
l Ensure that the new optical module has the same center wavelength and complies with
the same standards as the old one.
l Before removing an optical module, unplug optical fibers from the optical module. Do
not apply too much force when unplugging optical fibers. Otherwise, the optical module
may be damaged.
l After removing optical fibers from optical modules, cover the ports of cards and bores of
optical modules with dust plugs.

the cables to ensure correct fiber connection on the new optical module.
Step 3 Release the locking clip on the fiber connector, gently push the fiber connector, and then pull
out the optical fiber. After removing optical fibers from the optical module, cover fiber
connectors with dust caps.
The locking clip varies on different fiber connectors. Figure 11-9 shows the locking clips on
an LC/PC connector. Hold down the locking clips when pulling the optical fibers. Figure
11-10 shows the locking clip on an MPO connector. The locking clip is released automatically
when you pull the MPO connector.
Figure 11-9 LC/PC connector
Figure 11-10 MPO connector
Step 4 Release the latch of the optical module, gently push the optical module, and then pull it out.
Cover the bores of the optical module with dust plugs.

The latch varies on different optical modules. Figure 11-11 shows an optical module with a
clasp latch. To release the clasp latch, rotate it down. Figure 11-12 shows an optical module
with a tab latch. The tab latch is released when you pull it.
Figure 11-11 Optical module with a clasp latch
Figure 11-12 Optical module with a tab latch
Step 5 Take out the new optical module from the package. Slowly insert the optical module into the
optical port until you hear a click.
NOTE
The new optical module must have the same optical parameters as the remote optical module connected
to it.
Step 6 Find the optical fibers to be connected to the optical module according to labels on the optical
fibers. Remove the dust caps from the fiber connectors and insert the optical fibers to bores of
the optical module.
NOTE
If the optical module does not work, use an alcohol swab to wipe the fiber connectors in one direction,
and then connect the optical fibers to the optical module again.

11.6 Replacing an Air Filter
Context
To prevent the air filter of a switch from being blocked by dust and to ensure efficient heat
dissipation of a switch, periodically replace the air filter. It is recommended that you replace

an air filter at least once every six months. When a switch is used in a dusty environment,
replace its air filter more frequently.
NOTE
The methods for replacing the air filters on different models are the same. This section uses S9312E as
an example to describe the replacement procedure.
Tools
Procedure
Step 1 Determine in which cabinet and chassis the air filter is installed, find the air filter in the
chassis, and attach a label on the air filter to avoid misoperation.
Step 3 Remove the air filter.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the air filter. See callout 1 in
Figure 11-13.
2. Slowly pull the air filter out. See callout 2 in Figure 11-13.

output, the Status field shows
whether the chassis temperature is
within the normal range, and the
Temperature.(C) field displays
the temperature of each
component. If the Status field
displays minor, go to step 2.
2. Check the heat dissipation system
of the switch. Check the air intake,
air exhaust, fan trays, and air
filters to ensure that:
l The air intakes (at the front
and left side of the chassis) are
not blocked. There is no other
device on the left side of the
switch or the adjacent device is
separated by a side panel of the
cabinet.
l The air exhaust (at the rear of
the chassis) is not blocked.
Fans are running normally.
l The air filters are clean and not
blocked so that air can enter
the chassis.
If the card temperature falls within
the normal range, the card can
work normally.
If the card temperature remains
high, go to step 3.
3. Remove and reinstall the card, and
check whether the card can
register successfully. If the card
fails to register, go to step 4.
4. Collect information, and obtain
technical support through the
Huawei Technical Support
Website.
12.2 A Card Fails to Register

Fault Description
l The card registration process lasts a long time, and the RUN/ALM indicator of the card
is steady yellow.

l After the display device command is executed, the Register field of a card displays
Unregistered.
Possible Causes
This fault is commonly caused by one of the following:
l The card is not properly installed.

l The card is not hot swappable but it has been unplugged and plugged while the power is
on.
l Alarms have been generated for electronic devices on the card.
l The available power is insufficient for the card.
l The card is not supported by the chassis model or software version.
l The card connector has failed.
l The card cannot load the software package because the configuration has not been
cleared.
l No startup file is saved in the CF card.
Troubleshooting Procedure
1. Check whether the card is correctly installed. If not, reinstall the card. If the card is
correctly installed, go to step 2.
2. Check whether a subcard on the MPU has been hot swapped. If so, go to step 7. If not,
go to step 3.
3. Run the display alarm command to check alarms about the card. If the command output
contains alarms about abnormal voltage or components, go to step 7. If not, go to step 4.
4. Run the display power system command to check the power of the system and card. If
the available system power is insufficient, go to step 7. If the available system power is
sufficient, go to step 5.
NOTE
An LE0DG48VEA00 card can successfully register only when the following conditions are met:
l A dual in-line memory module (DIMM) has been installed in the DIMM slot of the card.
l The PoE interface card is installed in a PoE chassis.
l The PoE power modules are supplying power to the chassis normally.
5. Run the display version command to check whether the model and version of the card
match the chassis. If not, replace the card with a card matching the chassis. If the card
matches the chassis, go to step 6.
All cards are interchangeable on the S9300 and S9300E chassis except the following:
LH2D2SRUDC00, LE2D2SRUDC00/LE2D2SRUDC01, LE0MSRUA, LE0DSRUA,
LE0D00SRUB00, LH2D2MCUA000, LE0MMCUA, LE0D0VAMPA00,
LE0DG48VEA00, LE0D0WMNPA00, and LE2D2X48SEC0.
NOTE
If a card is moved from a chassis running a later version to a chassis running an earlier version, the
BootROM and Bootload of the card may automatically change to the earlier version. As a result,
the card cannot restart when it is reinstalled in the chassis running the later version. When this
occurs, download the later-version software package from the Huawei official website, load the
software package on the card, and then run the upgrade jtag slot slot-id command in the
diagnostic view to update BootROM and Bootload to the later version.

6. Remove and reinstall the card or install it in another slot.

Remove the card from the slot and check whether the card connector is intact.
If the card connector is intact, install the card in the original slot. If the card still fails to
register after being reinstalled several times, install it in another slot. If the problem
persists, go to step 7.
If there are idle pin holes on the card connector, use a flashlight to illuminate the card
connector and check whether any pins are bent. If some pins are bent, go to step 7.
7. Collect information, and obtain technical support through the Huawei Technical Support
Website.
12.3 Files Cannot Be Written into the CF Card

Fault Description
Files cannot be saved to the CF card on the MPU.
Possible Causes
This fault is commonly caused by one of the following:
l The CF card space is insufficient.
l The CF card is damaged.
l The file system is damaged.
Troubleshooting Procedure
1. Check free space on the CF card.
Run the dir command in the user view to check whether the CF card has sufficient free
space.
If free space on the CF card is insufficient for the file to be saved, copy the log files on
the CF card to the local storage device, and then delete the log files from the CF card to
free up the space.
If free space on the CF card is sufficient for the file to be saved, the CF card may be
damaged. Go to step 3.
2. Run the format command to format the CF card. If the problem persists after the CF
card is formatted, go to step 3.
3. Replace the CF card.
NOTE
Use a Huawei-certified CF card.

If the problem persists after the CF card is replaced, go to step 4.
4. Collect information, and obtain technical support through the Huawei Technical Support
Website.

13.2 Appendix B On-site Cable Assembly and Installation
13.2.1 Cable Assembly Precautions
Checking the Appearance of Cables

l If the cable jacket or insulation is visibly dirty, clean it before assembly.
l If the jacket or insulation of a cable has visible damage, irreparable scuffing, or other
defects, do not use the cable.
l If the shield layer of a cable is damaged, do not use the cable.

l If the cable jacket or insulation cracks after the cable is bent or twisted, discard this cable
and check whether other cables have the same problem. If other cables have the same
problem, replace these cables.
Checking the Appearance of Connectors

l Do not use connectors with visible defects, damage, rust or scuffing.
l Do not use connectors if their shells or pins have exposed part or uneven plating, or their
pins are lost, broken, or bent.
l Do not use connectors that have dirt on their pins or in their jacks or if there are
conductors between pins or between pins and the shell.
Precautions for Assembly

l Use dedicated tools or tools delivered by Huawei and follow the methods given here
during assembly.
l Hold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables themselves when installing or
removing cable components.
l Take the following precautions when cutting or stripping cables:
– Make cables slightly longer than necessary.
– Coil cables longer than 2 m (6.56 ft) after cutting. Bind and fasten the coils using
bundling ropes. The inner diameters of the coils should be larger than 20 times the
outer diameters of the cables.
– When stripping the jackets of cables, avoid damaging the shield layers (braid or
aluminum foil), insulation, core conductors, and other jackets that do not need to be
stripped.
– After assembling cables, cut all visible cross sections of jackets to ensure that the
cross sections are arranged neatly.
– Do not touch the core conductors of cables with your hands. Terminate exposed
conductors in a timely way after stripping off insulation so that the surface of the
conductors does not become oxidized.
l Take the following precautions when crimping and connecting cables or connectors:
– The terminals and conductors should be connected tightly after they are crimped.
They should not be moved or turned.
– Cut all the exposed copper wires.
– Try to avoid a second crimping of sleeves.
– Keep all the conductors clean and aligned.
NOTE
The connectors, cables, and tools provided by different vendors may be different. The figures in this
document are for your reference only.
13.2.2 Assembling Power Cables
Assembling the OT Terminal and Power Cable

Context
Figure 13-1 shows the components of an OT terminal and a power cable.
Figure 13-1 Components of an OT terminal and a power cable
A. Heat-shrinkable tubing B. Bare crimping terminal C. Insulation D. Conductor
Procedure
Step 1 Based on the cross-sectional area of the cable conductor, strip a length of insulation coating C
to expose the conductor D of length L1, as shown in Figure 13-2. The recommended values
of L1 are listed in Table 13-6.
Figure 13-2 Stripping a power cable (OT terminal)

NOTICE
l When you strip a power cable, do not damage the conductor of the cable.
l If the bare crimping terminal is not provided by Huawei, the value of L1 is 1 mm (0.04 in.)
to 2 mm (0.08 in.) greater than the value of L.

6 (0.009) 9 (0.35) 50 (0.077) 16 (0.63)
NOTE
If you are proficient in assembling OT terminals and power cables, you can obtain the value of L1 by
comparing the part to be crimped with the power cable.
Step 2 Put the heat-shrinkable (A) tubing onto the bare crimping terminal, as shown in Figure 13-3.
Figure 13-3 Putting the heat shrink tubing onto the bare crimping terminal
Step 3 Put the OT terminal B onto the exposed conductor, and ensure that the OT terminal is in good
contact with the insulation coating C, as shown in Figure 13-3.

NOTICE
After the conductor is fed into the OT terminal, the protruding part of the conductor, or L2 in
Figure 13-3, must not be longer than 2 mm (0.08 in.).
Step 4 Crimp the joint parts of the bare crimping terminal and the conductor, as shown in Figure
13-4.
NOTE
The shapes of crimped parts may vary with the crimping dies.
Figure 13-4 Crimping the joint parts of the bare crimping terminal and the conductor (OT
terminal)
Step 5 Push the heat shrink tubing (A) toward the connector until the tube covers the crimped part,
and then use a heat gun to heat the tube, as shown in Figure 13-5.
Figure 13-5 Heating the heat shrink tubing (OT terminal)

NOTICE
Stop heating the shrink tubing when the connector is securely locked in the shrink tubing. Do
not heat the shrink tubing too long as this may damage the insulation coating.

Checking the Appearance of Contact Strips
Context
l To ensure proper contact between the crimped wires and the wire conductors, the heights
and sizes of the contact strips must be standard and the same.

l The contact strips must be parallel to each other, with an offset of less than ± 5°. The top
margin of a strip must be parallel to the axis of the connector, with an offset of less than
± 10°.
l To ensure conductivity, the surface of the contact strips must be clean.
l The contact strips must be in good contact with the RJ45 socket. The plastic separators
must remain intact and be aligned.
l The contact strip blade must extend beyond the ends of the wires. The ends of the wires
must be in contact with the edge of the RJ45. The distance between them must be less
than 0.5 mm (0.02 in.).
Procedure
Step 1 Hold the crimped connector, with the front side facing you, and check whether the contact
strips are of the same height. The height should be 6.02 ± 0.13 mm (0.237 ± 0.005). If a
measuring tool is not available, you can compare the connector with a standard connector.
Figure 13-32 shows an unqualified piece, and Figure 13-33 shows a qualified piece.
NOTE
All unqualified pieces must be crimped again.
Figure 13-32 Contact strips of different heights
Figure 13-33 Contact strips of the same height

Step 2 Hold an RJ45 connector and turn it 45°. Observe the top edges of the metal contact strips.
Figure 13-34 shows an unqualified piece.
Figure 13-34 Unparallel contact strips of different heights
Step 3 Check whether the contact strips are clean. If they are not clean and the dirt cannot be
removed, replace it with a new RJ45 connector. Figure 13-35 shows an unqualified piece.
Figure 13-35 Dirt on a contract strip
Step 4 Check whether the contact strips and the plastic separators are well aligned and intact. If a
separator is skewed and cannot be fixed, replace it with a new RJ45 connector. Figure 13-36
shows an unqualified piece.
Figure 13-36 Skewed plastic separators

Step 5 Hold the connector with the side facing towards you, and check whether you can see the
cross-sections of the wires. Ensure that the ends of the wires are in good contact with the edge
of the RJ45, and that the contact strip blade extends beyond the ends of the wires and is
crimped with the wires. If not, replace the connector. Figure 13-37 shows an unqualified
piece.

Testing the Connection of Assembled Cables
Context
Huawei provides two types of Ethernet cables: straight-through cables and crossover cables.
l Straight-through cables are connected in a one-to-one manner. They are used to connect
terminals such as a computer or switch to network devices. Table 13-12 lists the
connections of core wires in a straight-through cable.

l Crossover cables are connected in a crossover manner. They are used to connect
terminals such as two computers or switches. Table 13-13 lists the connections of core
wires in a crossover cable.

Procedure
Step 1 Feed both connectors of the cable into the ports of the cable tester.
Step 2 After the connectors are properly inserted, turn on the tester. If the indicators from 1 to G turn
on simultaneously, you can infer that the pins work normally and the wires are correctly
connected.
NOTE
Turn the switch to the S position to slow down lighting of the indicators so that you can see the
indicators more clearly, as shown in Figure 13-39.

Figure 13-39 Testing the conduction and connections of wires
Step 3 Gently shake the connector and repeat Step 2 to check whether the metal contact strips are in
good contact with the core wires and Ethernet ports, as shown in Figure 13-40.
Figure 13-40 Checking the reliability
The procedure for testing a crossover cable is the same as that for testing a straight-through
cable except for the sequence in which the indicators turn on, which depends on the wire
connections of a crossover cable.
The Ethernet cable is qualified if the indicators turn on in the following sequence:
At the master (left) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 1-8-G. At the
slave (right) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 3-6-1-4-5-2-7-8-G.
If the indicators do not come on in this sequence, the Ethernet cable is unqualified.

NOTE
If a tester is not available, you can use a multimeter to perform a simple test, as shown in Figure 13-41.

13.2.4 Installing Cable Accessories
Precautions for Installing Cable Accessories
Tools
NOTE
The illustrations in this document may differ from actual situations, but the installation methods are the
same. For example, in this document, the adapters of cable connectors have separate interfaces. In the
actual situation, the adapters may have interfaces fixed on equipment.
Use dedicated tools provided or specified by Huawei and follow the installation procedure
described here.
Bending Radius
Unless otherwise specified, bending radius (R) of cables or fibers must meet the requirements
listed in Table 13-14.

Table 13-14 Bending radius of cables or fibers

Cable or Fiber Bending Radius (R)
Ordinary cable In normal cases, R ≥ 2d. When the cable is

connected with a connector, R ≥ 5d.
Fiber R ≥ 40 mm (1.57 in.); Bending angle > 90°
NOTE
The letter d indicates the diameter of a cable or fiber.
Precautions for Installation

l Hold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables themselves when installing or
removing cable components.
l Do not insert a connector forcibly when the connector is blocked. Use a dedicated tool to
pull out the connector. Install the connector again after you check that the pins are
inserted properly.
l Before tightening screws on cable connectors, ensure that the connectors are properly
connected to their adapters. Tighten the screw with appropriate force using a flat-head or
Phillips screwdriver instead of bare hands or an electric screwdriver. If the screw cannot
be screwed into the tapped hole, determine the reason and try again. Do not apply too
much force, or the screw or adapter may be damaged.
l When removing densely aligned cables or fiber connectors, use dedicated pliers such as
cable-pulling pliers and fiber-pulling pliers.
l Do not twist, bend, stretch, or extrude fibers during installation.
l Cover the idle fiber connectors with dust caps. Remove the dust caps before using the
fiber connectors.
Requirements for Cable Routing

l To protect cables, remove the burrs in the cable through-holes or install protective rings
in the holes.
l To ease the connection and to avoid stress, keep cable joints slack. After connecting
multiple cables to a connector that has multiple interfaces, keep the cables slack to avoid
generating stress.
l Bind or clean cables gently because cable distortion affects signal quality.
l Keep cables away from moveable components such as doors.
l Sharp objects must not touch cable wiring to prevent damage to cables.
l To protect power cables, route power cables of the active and standby power modules
separately.

13.3 Appendix C Environmental Requirements for Device

Operation
13.3.1 Environmental Requirements for an Equipment Room
Requirements for Selecting a Site for an Equipment Room

When designing a project, consider the communication network planning and technical
requirements of the equipment. Also consider hydrographic, geological, seismic, power
supply, and transportation factors.
Construction, structure, heating and ventilation, power supply, lighting and fire-proof
construction of the equipment room should be designed by specialized construction designers
to suit the environmental requirements of devices. The equipment room should also follow
local regulations concerning the industrial construction, environmental protection, fire safety,

and civil air defense. Construction must conform to government standards, regulations, and
other requirements.
The equipment room should be located in a place free from high temperature, dust, toxic
gases, explosive materials, or unstable voltage. Keep the equipment room away from
significant vibrations or loud noises, as well as power transformer stations.
The specific requirements for selecting a site for an equipment room are as follows:
l The room should be located at a distance of at least 5 km (3.11 mi.) from heavy pollution
sources such as smelting and coal mines. It should be located at a distance of at least 3.7
km (2.30 mi.) from moderate pollution sources such as chemical, rubber, and
galvanization factories. It should be located at a distance of at least 2 km (1.24 mi.) from
light pollution sources such as packinghouses and tanyards. If these pollution sources
cannot be avoided, ensure that the equipment room is upwind of the pollution sources. In
addition, use a high-quality equipment room or protection products.
l The room should be located away from livestock farms, or be upwind of the livestock
farms. Do not use an old livestock room or fertilizer warehouse as the equipment room.
l The equipment room must be far away from residential areas. An equipment room that is
not far away from residential areas must comply with equipment room construction
standards to avoid noise pollution.
l The room should be located far away from industrial and heating boilers.
l The room should be at least 3.7 km (2.30 mi.) away from the seaside or salt lake.
Otherwise, the equipment room should be airtight with cooling facilities. In addition,
alkalized soil cannot be used as the construction material. Otherwise, equipment suitable
for wet conditions must be used.
l The doors and windows of the equipment room must be kept closed to maintain an

13.3.2 Requirements for Power Supply
Requirements for AC Power Supply

An AC power supply system consists of power mains, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs),
and self-supplied electric generators. In addition to meeting the requirements of the server
load, the AC power supply must have a simple connection line, safe operation, flexible
scheduling, and easy maintenance.
The low-voltage power supply should be 3-phase, 5-wire mode or monophase 3-wire mode.
This AC power supply should be 110 V/220 V, with a frequency of 50 Hz.
The UPS should supply the same power and operate at the same phase as the power mains.
The switching time between the UPS and mains should be less than 10 ms; otherwise, the
networking devices will reboot or reset.
For power distribution capacity in the equipment room, both the working current and fault
current of the devices should be considered. Ensure that independent AC power supplies

protect independent devices. Configure the current-carrying capacity of the protection switch
of the equipment room for more than that of the devices.
Table 13-19 lists the voltage range of the AC power supply for the devices.
Table 13-19 Voltage range of AC power supply

Item Requirements
AC power capacity to -10% to +5% of the rated voltage

support the devices
AC power capacity to -15% to +10% of the rated voltage

support the power modules
and important buildings
Frequency of alternating -4% to +4% of the rated value

current
Voltage wave shape sine Within 5% of the rated voltage

distortion
The automated electric generator must have a standard interface that supports
telecommunication protocols, remote telecommunication, monitoring, and control.
AC power cables should meet the following specifications:

l AC neutral should have a conductor with the same cross section as the phase line.
l AC cables should have non-flammable insulation. The layout of AC cables should
comply with local regulations. Low-voltage power distribution rooms should comply
with local regulations.
Recommendations for AC Power Supply

The following are recommendations for the AC power supply.
l If the voltage of the power mains that supply power directly to devices exceeds the rated
voltage by -10% to 5%, or exceeds the voltage range that devices can support, a voltage
regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.
l If the mains do not supply power for the device directly, or if the mains voltage exceeds
the rated voltage by -15% to 10% or exceeds the input voltage range of the DC power
supply, a voltage regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.
l A UPS or inverter power supply system is required to provide uninterrupted AC power
to support the telecommunication load.
l If abnormalities occur on the mains, telecommunication servers should be equipped with
a self-supplied electric generator to support the key telecommunication load. The
capacity should be not less than 150% to 200% of the total uninterruptible power supply.
l Storage batteries are usually installed in a parallel connection of two groups. UPS
storage batteries are generally installed in one group. The redundancy required for the
UPS can rely on concatenation or parallel connection. When an inverter or a UPS is
used, the active inverter is determined by the maximum power and a backup inverter is
required.

Requirements for DC Power Supply

The equipment room should receive stable and reliable DC power. Deploy the power
equipment near the telecommunications equipment to make the DC feeder as short as
possible. To reduce power consumption and installation cost, the loop voltage drop from the
battery port to the equipment port should be less than 3.2 V.
l A large-scale enterprise can deploy an independent power supply system on each floor to
supply power to the telecommunications equipment room on the respective floor.
l A medium-scale enterprise can use a power room and a battery room for centralized
power supply or use distributed power supply systems.
l A small-scale enterprise can deploy an integrated power supply system in its equipment
room but must take measures to prevent corrosive gases released from batteries from
eroding circuit boards of telecommunications equipment.

power equipment in multiple locations.
l Adopt a standard DC power supply system, and set the output voltage to the
communications equipment within the required range.
l Improve reliability of the AC power supply system to reduce the necessary capacity of
storage batteries. For small offices, increase the capacity of storage batteries if it is
difficult to enhance reliability of the AC power supply system.

l The total capacity of the high-frequency switching rectifier must satisfy the power of the
communication loading and battery charging. If there are 10 or fewer active rectifier
modules, configure one backup module. If there are more than 10 active modules,
configure one backup module for every 10 active modules.
l Install storage batteries in two or more groups. The capacity is determined by the
duration for which the storage batteries must supply power. For most offices, the
batteries should be able to supply power for at least one hour.

13.5 Appendix E Engineering Labels for Cables

An engineering label serves as an identifier for on-site installation and maintenance after the
installation. Labels on the cables facilitate correct and orderly connection of cables, and easy
maintenance after installation.
Engineering labels are specialized for power cables and signal cables:
l Signal cables include network cables, optical fibers, and user cables.
l Power cables include the AC power cables and DC power cables.
NOTE
Fill in labels according to specified requirements to keep consistency of labels in the equipment room.
Make a relevant statement in the self-check report.
13.5.1 Introduction to Labels
Label Materials
Features:
l Thickness: 0.09 mm (0.004 in.)
l Color: chalk white
l Material: polyester (PET)
l Ambient temperature: -29°C (-20.2°F) to +149°C (300.2°F)
l Printed by a laser printer and written with a marker
l Pass UL and CSA authentication

Type and Structure
Label for Signal Cables

The label for signal cables is L-shaped with fixed dimensions, as shown in Figure 13-81.
Figure 13-81 Label for signal cables
To specify more clearly the position of a cable, use the dividing lines on the label. For
example, there is a dividing line between the cabinet number and the chassis number, and
another one between the chassis number and the slot number. Each dividing line is light blue
(Pantone 656c) and 1.5 mm x 0.6 mm (0.06 in. x 0.02 in.).
The cut dotted line helps to fold the label when affixed to the cable, and its size is 1 mm x 2
mm (0.04 in. x 0.08 in.).
The word "TO:" (upside down in the figure) at the lower right corner of the label is used to
identify the opposite end of the cable on which the label is affixed.
Power Cable Label

The label for power cables should be attached to the identification plate on the cable ties that
are attached to the cable. The identification plate has an embossed area 0.2 mm x 0.6 mm
(0.008 in. x 0.02 in.) around (symmetric on both sides), and the area in the middle is for
affixing the label, as shown in Figure 13-82.

Figure 13-82 Power cable label
Label Printing
The contents can be printed or written on the labels. Printing is recommended for the sake of
high efficiency and eye-pleasant layout.
Template for Printing

You can obtain a template from the Huawei local office to print labels.
The template is made in Microsoft Word. Follow these instructions to use the template:
l You can modify the contents of the template. Do not change settings of centered
characters, direction, and fonts.

l If many characters need to be filled in, decrease the font size, but make sure that the
printouts are clear and legible.
Merging Cells in the Template

To merge two or more cells, do as follows:
1. Select Edit/Select All.
2. Select Format/Borders and Shading/Borders. Select Box tab and click OK.
3. Drag the mouse to select cells to be merged and select the Table/Merge Cells.
Requirements on the Printer

To print labels, use a laser jet printer of any model. Before printing labels, set up the page and
try printing.
1. Try printing on ordinary paper with both sides blank. Place the blank paper over the
whole page of the label paper, and check whether the page setup conforms to the label
layout.
2. Make sure the printer properties, such as "paper size" and "direction", have been set
correctly.
– If the printout conforms to the sheet of labels, print the labels on the label paper.
– If the printout does not conform, adjust the page setup and try printing again until
the correct printout is produced.
The method for adjusting the page setup is as follows.

1. Select File/Page Setup.
2. Select Layout and set Header and Footer as 0.
3. Select the Margins tab page. Select Left for Gutter Position and adjust the values of Top,
Bottom, Left, and Right.
NOTE
If the warning prompt as shown in Figure 13-83 appears before printing, click Ignore to continue
the printing.
Figure 13-83 Warning prompt before printing
After the page setup has been made correctly, save it for future use. This page setup is only
necessary the first time you use the template to print the labels.

Requirements for Feeding the Printer

The label paper consists of two layers and has undergone multiple processing procedures such
as printing and cutting. No matter what model of printer you use, feed in the labels one page
at a time. To avoid jamming the labels, never use the auto-feed mode.
Feed in the label paper in the correct direction to ensure that the text is printed in a correct
position.
Requirements for the Printed Label

Make sure that the printed labels satisfy the following requirements:
l All the printouts must be on the label, and nothing should be printed on the backing layer
of the label page.
l Contents in the cells should be aligned in the center. In a single-line printout, the
dividing lines and the word "TO:" should not be covered by printed characters.
l When the cells are merged and the printouts are made in multiple lines, avoid covering
the word "TO:" when printing the text. Use the space bar to move the text to the next
line.
Writing Labels
Writing Tools
To make sure the printouts are clear and legible, use black markers instead of ball-point pens
to write the labels.
If no marker is available, black ball-point pens are allowed, although not recommended.
Compared with ball-point pens, water-proof markers are better. When writing with a ball-
point pen, do not leave the oil on the label, which may contaminate the label and blur the
words.
NOTE
The delivered marker has two nibs. Use the smaller nib to write the labels.
Font
For the sake of legibility, use standard block letters and numbers as shown in Table 13-26
(Times New Roman).
Table 13-26 Standard typeface for handwriting

Determine the size of characters based on the number of letters or digits and ensure that the
characters are distinct and tidy.

Placement of text on a label is shown in Figure 13-84.
Figure 13-84 Placement of text on a label
Attaching Labels
After printing or writing the label, remove the label from the page and attach it to the signal
cable, or the identification plate of the power cable. The methods for attaching labels are
described in the following sections.
Label for Signal Cables

l Choose the place to attach labels.
The label is attached 2 cm (0.79 in.) from the connector on a signal cable. In special
cases (for example, to avoid cable bending or affecting other cables), other positions are
allowed to attach the labels. The rectangular part with text is attached facing right or

l Procedure for attaching labels

Figure 13-86 shows the methods and procedures for attaching labels.

Figure 13-86 Label for signal cables
Power Cable Label

Remove the label from the backing page, and attach it to the identification plate on the cable
tie. The label should be attached to the rectangular flute on the identification plate, and
attached to only one side of the identification plate. The cable ties are bundled at 2 cm (0.79
in.) from the connectors, and other positions are allowed in special circumstances.
Cable ties should be bound on both ends of a cable. After the bundling, the finished
identification plate should be on top of the cable in horizontal cabling, or on the right side of
the cable in vertical cabling, as shown in Figure 13-87. The details are as follows:
l The identification card is to the right of the cable in vertical cabling.
l The identification card is on the top of the cable in horizontal cabling. Make sure that the
label is facing out.

Contents of Engineering Labels
Contents of Labels for Power Cables

Labels for power cables are affixed on only one side of the identification plates. On the labels,
there is information (the part after the word "TO:") about the location of the device on the
other end of the cable, like the location of control cabinet, distribution box or power socket.
Contents of Labels 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. Figure 13-88 shows the information on both
sides of the labels affixed to the signal cables.
l Area 1 contains the location information of the local end of the cable.
l Area 2 (with the word "TO:") contains the location information of the opposite end of the
cable.
l Area 3 has been folded up inside the label.
Figure 13-88 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; and the other side carries the location information of the local end.

In other words, the information in Area 1 at one end is the same as the information in Area 2
at the other end of the cable.
Precautions for Using Engineering Labels

When using labels, pay attention to the following points:
l When printing, writing, or attaching labels, keep the labels clean.
l Since the label paper is made of moistureproof material, ink-jet printers and ink pens
cannot be used to print and write labels.
l Labels should be attached neatly. New-type labels are L-shaped. If they are pasted at
incorrect locations or in the incorrect direction, the appearance of the device is affected.
l Power cable ties should be attached in the same positions on power cables, with
identification plates on the same side.
l The positions of "up", "down", "left" or "right" are all based on the viewpoint of the
engineering person who is working on the label.
13.5.2 Engineering Labels for Optical Fibers
These labels are affixed to the optical fibers that connect the optical interfaces on the boards
in a chassis, or on the device boxes. There are two types of labels for optical cables:
l One is for the fiber that connects the optical interfaces on two devices.
l The other is for the fiber that connects the device and the ODF.

network cables for other purposes should be specified according to actual connections. The
details are as follows:

l For a network cable connecting a hub and device, the label on the hub end should
indicate the numbers of the chassis and cabinet where the hub resides, and the serial
number on the hub. The label on the device end should indicate the number of the
chassis and cabinet where the device is located. If the device is a standalone device,
provide the specific position of the device.
l For a network cable connecting a hub and an agent or terminal, the label on the agent or
terminal end should contain the serial number of the network interface. The definitions
of the cabinet number and chassis number are the same as those described in Table
13-29.

13.5.5 Engineering Labels for Power Cables

Engineering Labels for DC Power Cables

These labels are affixed to the DC power cables that provide power supply for cabinets,
including the -48 V, PGND, and BGND cables. Here, the DC power cables also include power
cables and PGND cables.
The labels for DC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable
ties. For details of the labels, see Table 13-31.
Table 13-31 Contents of the label

Content Meaning
MN(BC)- MN(BC): BC is written right under MN.

B--48Vn B: chassis number, numbered in bottom-up order with two digits, for
example, 01.
MN(BC)-B-
BGND N: power socket number, numbered as 1 to 3 in the bottom-up and left-
to-right orders.
MN(BC)-B- On the loaded cabinet side, only MN is used to identify the cabinet.
PGND
On the power cabinet side, MN identifies the row and column number
of the power distribution equipment like a control cabinet and
distribution box, and BC identifies the row and column number of the
-48 V connector. If there is no row number or column number, or the
connector can be identified without them, BC can be omitted. It is
unnecessary to identify the row and column number for BGND and
PGND.
The label only carries location information about the destination direction of the power cable
whereas information about the local end is unnecessary. That is, the label only carries location
information about the opposite equipment, the control cabinet, or the distribution box. Table
13-31 lists the information on two -48 V power supplies on the label. The information on
other DC voltages, such as 24 V and 60 V should be given in similar methods.
Make sure that labels are affixed in the correct direction. That is, after the cable ties are
bundled onto the cable, the identification plates with the labels should face up, and the text on
the labels in the same cabinet should be in the same direction. For details, see Figure 13-93.
Figure 13-93 Example of the labels for DC power cables

The meaning of the label in Figure 13-93 is as follows:

l On the loaded cabinet side, the label "A01/B08--48V2" on the cable indicates that the
cable is -48 V DC supply, which is from the eighth connector in row B of -48 V bus bar
in the cabinet in row A, and column 1 in the equipment room.
l On the distribution box side, the label "B03--48V2" indicates that the cable is -48 V DC
supply, connected to DC power socket 2 in row B, column 03 in the equipment room.
NOTE
In the power distribution box or the first power cabinet of a row in a transmission equipment room,
every terminal block on the -48 V 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.
PGND and BGND are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are short-circuited.
Therefore, it makes no difference which terminal is connected to them. It is only necessary to
give the row and column 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 loaded
cabinet side is "A01-BGND", it means that the power cable is a BGND that connects BGND
copper bar in the power distribution box in row A, column 01 in the machine room.
Information on the labels for PGND cables should be given in a similar way.
Engineering Labels for AC Power Cables

These labels are affixed to both ends of an AC power cable that provides AC power supply to
cabinets, including 110/220 V, PGND, and BGND cables. The 110/220 V AC cables and
related PGND and BGND cables are covered with an insulating sheath, so the labels need to
contain only the word "AC" and the cabinet numbers.
The labels for AC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable
ties. For details, see Table 13-32.
Table 13-32 Label content
Content Meaning
MN-(B)-ACn MN: serial number of the cabinet or the socket where the power is led
in
B: chassis number, numbered in bottom-up order with two digits, for
example, 01.
n: power port number, numbered as 1 to 3 in bottom-up and left-to-right
order.
Serial number of the socket where the power is led in: the location of
the socket is marked according to the actual situation. If the sockets can
be identified by row numbers and column numbers, they can be
numbered following the same rule for the cabinets. If the sockets
cannot be identified by rows and columns, specify the detailed
locations to avoid confusion with other sockets.
The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment and the power
socket; information about the local end is unnecessary.

Make sure that labels are affixed in the correct direction. That is, after the cable ties are
bundled onto the cable, the identification plates with the labels should face up, and the text on
the labels in the same cabinet should be in the same direction, as shown in Figure 13-94.
Figure 13-94 Labels for AC power cables

Meaning of the label in Figure 13-94.

l On the equipment cabinet side, the label marked "A01-AC1" indicates that the power
cable is connected to the first AC power socket of row A and column 01 in the
equipment room.
l On the power socket side, the label marked "B01-AC1" indicates that the power cable is
connected to the first AC power socket in the cabinet of row B and column 01 in the
equipment room.
13.6 Appendix F Guide to Using Optical Modules
Common Faults of an Optical Module

1. An optical module is not completely installed in position.
If the optical module is not completely installed in position and the latch boss is not
secured, the device cannot identify the optical module. After the optical module works
for a long time, it will be ejected under external stress.
2. The optical receptacle on an optical module is contaminated.
If an optical module is not cleaned or protected properly, contaminants may accumulate
on the fiber pin in the optical module. As a result, the coupling efficiency is reduced,
optical signals are cut off, or even worse, the surface of the fiber pin is damaged
permanently.
3. An optical module is burnt.
If high-power optical signals (caused by an optical time domain reflectometer or self-
loop test) are transmitted through an optical module that is used for long-distance
transmission but no optical attenuator is used, the optical power will exceed the overload
power of the avalanche photodiode (APD). Then the optical module is burnt.
The preceding faults lead to temporary or long-term cut-off of optical signals; or even cause
permanent damages to the optical module, affecting communication services.

Measures to Prevent a Loosened Optical Module

1. When installing an optical module, insert it in position. If you hear a click or feel a slight
shake, it indicates that the latch boss is secured.
If the latch boss is not secured, the gold finger of the optical module is not in good
contact with the connector on the board. In this case, the link may be connected but
optical signals will be cut off or the optical module will be loosened when the optical
module is shaken or hit.
2. Figure 13-95 shows the release handle on an optical module when it is open and closed.
When inserting the optical module, make sure that the release handle is closed. At this
time, the latch boss locks the optical module. After the optical module is inserted, try
pulling it out to see if it is installed in position. If the optical module cannot be pulled
out, it is secured.
Figure 13-95 State of the release handle
Close the release handle Open the release handle
Measures to Prevent Receptacle Contamination

1. Cleaning tissues must be prepared on site. You need to clean the optical connector before
inserting it in the receptacle. This protects the receptacle against contamination on the
surface of the optical connector.
Figure 13-96 Cleaning optical fibers with special cleaning tissues
NOTE
Place at least three cleaning tissues on the work bench. As shown in Figure 13-96, wipe the end of
an optical connector from left to right or from right to left on a cleaning tissue, and then move the
connector end to the unused part of the cleaning tissue to continue.

2. Cover an unused optical module with a protective cap to prevent dust, as shown in
Figure 13-97.
Figure 13-97 Installing a protective cap
If no protective cap is available, use fibers to protect the optical module, as shown in
Figure 13-98.
Figure 13-98 Using fibers to protect an optical module
3. Cover unused optical connectors with protective caps, as shown in Figure 13-99, and
then lay out fibers on the fiber rack or coil them in a fiber management tray to prevent
fibers from being squeezed.
Figure 13-99 Installing a protective cap on a fiber
4. If a receptacle or an optical connector has not been used for a long time and is not
covered with a protective cap, you need to clean it before using it. Clean a receptacle
with a cotton swab, as shown in Figure 13-100. Clean an optical connector with cleaning
tissues.

Figure 13-100 Cleaning a receptacle with a cotton swab
NOTICE
When cleaning a receptacle, insert the cotton swab and turn it slowly in the receptacle.
Do not use too much strength because the receptacle may be damaged.
5. If optical signals are lost during the operation of a device, use the preceding method to
clean the receptacle or the optical connector. In this manner, the possibility of
contamination can be excluded.
Measures to Prevent an Optical Module from Being Burnt

1. Before using an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) to test the connectivity or the
attenuation of optical signals, disconnect the optical fibers from the optical module.
Otherwise, the optical module will be burnt.
2. When performing a self-loop test, use an optical attenuator. Do not loosen the optical
connector instead of the optical attenuator.
Precautions
1. The optical connector should be vertically inserted in the receptacle to avoid damages to
the receptacle.
2. Fibers must be inserted into optical modules of the corresponding type. That is,
multimode fibers must be inserted into multimode optical modules, and single mode
fibers must be inserted into single mode optical modules. If a fiber is inserted into an
optical module of a different mode, faults may occur. For example, optical signals will
be lost.
