High Leakage Current
WARNING
Before powering on a device, ground the device. Otherwise, the safety of humans and the device
cannot be ensured.
If a high leakage current mark is labeled near the power connector of the device, you must
connect the PGND terminal on the shell to the ground before connecting the device to an A/C
input power supply. This is to prevent the electric shock caused by leakage current of the device.
Power Cables
DANGER
Do not install or remove the power cable with a live line. Transient contact between the core of
the power cable and the conductor may generate electric arc or spark, which may cause fire or
eye injury.
l Before installing or removing power cables, you must power off the device.
l Before connecting a power cable, you must ensure that the label on the power cable is
correct.

1.4 Environment of Flammable Gas
This topic describes safety precautions for the operating environment of a device.
DANGER
Do not place or operate devices in an environment of flammable or explosive air or gas.
Operating an electronic device in an environment of flammable gas causes a severe hazard.
1.5 Storage Batteries
This topic describes safety precautions for operations of storage batteries.
DANGER
Before operating a storage battery, you must read the safety precautions carefully and be familiar
with the method of connecting a storage battery.
l Incorrect operations of storage batteries cause hazards. During operation, prevent any short-
circuit, and prevent the electrolyte from overflowing or leakage.
l If the electrolyte overflows, it causes potential hazards to the device. The electrolyte may
corrode metal parts and the circuit boards, and ultimately damage the circuit boards.
l A storage battery contains a great deal of energy. Misoperations may cause a short-circuit,
which leads to human injuries.
Basic Precautions
To ensure safety, note the following points before installing or maintaining the storage battery:
l Use special insulation tools.
l Wear an eye protector and take effective protection measures.
l Wear rubber gloves and a protection coat to prevent the hazard caused by the overflowing
electrolyte.
l When handling the storage battery, ensure that its electrodes are upward. Leaning or
reversing the storage battery is prohibited.
l Before installing or maintaining the storage battery, ensure that the storage battery is
disconnected from the power supply that charges the storage battery.
7
Short-Circuit
DANGER
A battery short-circuit may cause human injuries. Although the voltage of an ordinary battery
is low, the instantaneous high current caused by a short-circuit emits a great deal of energy.
Avoid any short-circuit of batteries caused by metal objects. If possible, disconnect the working
battery before performing other operations.
Hazardous Gas
CAUTION
Do not use any unsealed lead-acid storage battery. Lay a storage battery horizontally and fix it
properly to prevent the battery from emitting flammable gas, which may cause fire or device
erosion.
Working lead-acid storage batteries emit flammable gas. Therefore, ventilation and fireproofing
measures must be taken at the sites where lead-acid storage batteries are placed.
Battery Temperature
CAUTION
If a battery overheats, the battery may be deformed or damaged, and the electrolyte may
overflow.
When the temperature of the battery is higher than 60C, you need to check whether the
electrolyte overflows. If the electrolyte overflows, take appropriate measures immediately.
Battery Leakage
CAUTION
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up appropriately.
When handling a leaky battery, protect against the possible damage caused by the acid. When
you find the electrolyte leaks, you can use the following substances to counteract and absorb the
leaking electrolyte:
l Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO
3
)
8
l Sodium carbonate (Na
2
CO
3
)
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up as recommended by
the battery manufacturer and any local regulations for acid disposal.
If a person contacts battery electrolyte, clean the skin that contacts the battery electrolyte
immediately by using water. In case of a severe situation, the person must be sent to a hospital
immediately.
1.6 Radiation
This topic describes safety precautions for electromagnetic exposure and lasers.
1.6.1 Safe Usage of Optical Fibers
The laser beam can cause damage to your eyes. Hence, you must exercise caution when using
optical fibers.
DANGER
When installing or maintaining an optical interface board or optical fibers, avoid direct eye
exposure to the laser beams launched from the optical interface board or fiber connectors. The
laser beam can cause damage to your eyes.
Cleaning Fiber Connectors and Optical Interfaces
CAUTION
If fiber connectors or flanges are contaminated, optical power commissioning is seriously
affected. Therefore, the two endfaces and flange of every external fiber must be cleaned before
the fiber is led into the equipment through the ODF for being inserted into an optical interface
on the equipment.
The fiber connectors and optical interfaces of the lasers must be cleaned with the following
special cleaning tools and materials:
l Special cleaning solvent: It is preferred to use isoamylol. Propyl alcohol, however, can also
be used. It is prohibited that you use alcohol and formalin.
l Non-woven lens tissue
l Special compressed gas
l Cotton stick (medical cotton or long fiber cotton)
l Special cleaning roll, used with the recommended cleaning solvent
l Special magnifier for fiber connectors
For cleaning steps, see Appendix "Inspecting and Cleaning the Fiber-Optical Connectors" in the
OptiX OSN 3500 Intelligent Optical Transmission System Troubleshooting.
9
Replacing Optical Fibers
When replacing an optical fiber, cover the fiber connector of the unused optical fiber with a
protective cap.
Connecting Optical Fibers
l Use an attenuator if the optical power is excessively high. A high received optical power
damages the optical interface.
l Directly connect an attenuator to a slanting optical interface. Install the attenuator on the
IN port instead of the OUT port.
l Do not directly connect an attenuator to the level optical interface. Use the optical
distribution frame (ODF) to connect an attenuator to a level optical interface.
Figure 1-2 shows a slanting optical interface, and Figure 1-3 shows a level optical interface.

1.6.2 Electromagnetic Exposure
This topic describes safety precautions for electromagnetic exposure.
WARNING
High-intensity RF signals are harmful to the human body.
If multiple transmit antennas are installed on a tower or backstay, you must request the relevant
personnel to shut down the transmit antenna before they install or maintain the antenna locally.
During the operation, the base transceiver station (BTS) may generate electromagnetic radiation
(namely, radiation harm). Before installing and operating the BTS equipment, read the guidelines
to ensure safe operations. When installing the BTS equipment, obey the local rules and
regulations.
1.6.3 Forbidden Areas
The topic describes requirements for a forbidden area.
l The site of the antenna must be far away from the area where the electromagnetic radiation
is beyond the specified range and the public cannot reach.
l Before entering the area where the electromagnetic radiation is beyond the specified range,
the associated personnel must learn about the area and shut down the electromagnetic
radiator. The area where the electromagnetic radiation is beyond the specified range, if any,
should be within 10 meters away from the antenna.
l A physical barrier and an eye-catching warning flag must be available in each forbidden
area.
1.6.4 Laser
This topic describes safety precautions for lasers.
WARNING
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet directly
without eye protection.
Laser transceivers are used in the optical transmission system and associated test tools. The laser
transmitted through the bare optical fiber produces a small beam of light, and thus it has very
high power density and is invisible to human eyes. When a beam of light enters eyes, the eyes
may be damaged.
In normal cases, viewing an un-terminated optical fiber or a damaged optical fiber without eye
protection at a distance greater than 150 mm does not cause eye injury. Eye injury may occur,
however, if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to view
an un-terminated optical fiber.
11
Safety Instructions Regarding Lasers
To avoid laser radiation, obey the following instructions:
l All operations should be performed by authorized personnel who have completed the
required training courses.
l Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or fibers.
l Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.
l Do not look into the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector when you are not sure
whether the optical source is switched off.
l Use an optical power meter to measure the optical power and ensure that the optical source
is switched off.
l Before opening the front door of an optical transmission device, ensure that you are not
exposed to laser radiation.
l Do not use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to
view the optical connector or fiber that is transmitting optical signals.
Instructions Regarding Fiber Handling
Read and abide by the following instructions before handling fibers:
l Only trained personnel are permitted to cut and splice fibers.
l Before cutting or splicing a fiber, ensure that the fiber is disconnected from the optical
source. After disconnecting the fiber, cap to the fiber connectors.
1.6.5 Microwave
When installing and maintaining the equipment of Huawei, follow the safety precautions of
microwave to ensure the safety of the human body and the equipment.
WARNING
Strong radio frequency can harm the human body.

Sharp Objects
WARNING
Wear protection gloves when carrying the device. This is to prevent hands from being injured
by the sharp edges of the device.
Fans
l When replacing parts, place the objects such as the parts, screws, and tools properly. This
is to prevent them from falling into the operating fans, which damages the fans or device.
l When replacing the parts near fans, keep your fingers or boards from touching operating
fans before the fans are powered off and stop running. Otherwise, the hands or the boards
are damaged.
Carrying Heavy Objects
Wear protection gloves when carrying heavy objects. This is to prevent hands from being hurt.
16
WARNING
l The carrier must be prepared for load bearing before carrying heavy objects. This is to prevent
the carrier from being strained or pressed by the heavy objects.
l When you pull a chassis out of the cabinet, pay attention to the unstable or heavy objects on
the cabinet. This is to prevent the heavy objects on the cabinet top from falling down, which
may hurt you.
l Generally, two persons are needed to carry a chassis. It is prohibited that only one person
carries a heavy chassis. When carrying a chassis, the carriers should stretch their backs and
move stably to avoid being strained.
l When moving or lifting a chassis, hold the handles or bottom of the chassis. Do not hold
the handles of the modules installed in the chassis, such as the power modules, fan modules,

9 Installing the COA and DCM
About This Chapter
The COA stands for the case-shaped optical amplifier, and the DCM stands for the dispersion
compensation module.
9.1 Installing the COA
N1COA and 61COA are installed into the cabinet after being installed on the tray. 62COA is
installed into the cabinet by using mounting ears.
9.2 Installing the DCM
The DCM needs to be installed in the DCM frame, which is installed in the cabinet.
After installation, you need to check the necessary items.
Installation Guide 9 Installing the COA and DCM

9.1 Installing the COA
N1COA and 61COA are installed into the cabinet after being installed on the tray. 62COA is
installed into the cabinet by using mounting ears.
NOTE
For the method of installing the COA, see the OptiX OSN 3500 Quick Installation Guide.
9.2 Installing the DCM
The DCM needs to be installed in the DCM frame, which is installed in the cabinet.
9.2.1 Overview of DCM and DCM Frame
The DCM needs to be installed in the DCM frame.
DCM
The DCM is used to compensate dispersion for optical signals. Each DCM has two fiber
connectors to receive and send optical signals, which are connected to the optical interface of
the corresponding board through optical fibers.
DCM Frame
The DCM frame is used to hold the dispersion compensation module (DCM), and one DCM
frame can hold up to two DCMs. Before installing the DCM frame, you need to fix the DCM to
the frame.
To install the DCM inside the cabinet, you need to provide a space with 50 mm in height. By
default, the DCM is installed at the bottom of the cabinet. The DCM can also be installed in the
other position of the cabinet which is not fully configured. The capacity expansion will be,
however, affected in the future because the space is occupied.
The DCM frame weighs 3.5 kg, and measures 48.4 mm (height) x 484 mm (width) x 281 mm
(depth).
9.2.2 Installing the DCM and DCM Frame
This procedure describes how to fix the DCM on the frame and install the frame in the cabinet.

12 Checking the Power Jumpers on the
Board
About This Chapter
When different types of power supplies or subracks are connected to the equipment, the jumper
setting is different. Incorrect jumper setting may cause damage to the equipment. This chapter
describes how to set the jumpers.
12.1 Checking Power Jumpers on the GSCC
The OptiX OSN device supports -48 V or -60 V input power, which can be selected by setting
the jumpers on the GSCC board. By default, the input power is -48 V.
12.2 Checking Jumpers on the AUX
The jumper on the AUX board distinguishes a main subrack from the extended subrack. If the
subrack type is already known, you need to check whether the jumper setting on the AUX board
is according to type of the subrack.

Area for the Cable-Routing Channel
An isolating plate is available in the cable-routing channel to divide the cable-routing channel
into the upper and lower layers. In this case, fiber jumpers can be protected, and route power
cables and signal cables can be routed separately.
To route cables, comply with the following rules:
l If no power cables are routed in the cable-routing channel, route fiber jumpers at the upper
layer, and route network cables at the lower layer.
l If certain power cables are routed in the cable-routing channel, route fiber jumpers and
network cables at the upper layer, and route power cables at the lower layer.
l If certain E1 cables are routed in the cable-routing channel, route fiber jumpers at the upper
General Instructions for Cable Routing
The cables of the equipment are routed as follows:
l The external power cables, grounding cables, and signal cables of the cabinet are routed
separately with the spacing of more than three centimeters.
l After the power cables of the subrack are bound on to the cable distribution frame, they are
routed to the rear part of the two side panels of the cabinet, and then routed to the power
box along the rear part of the side panels.
l The power cables of the IF board connect the IF power board to the IF board. If the IF
power cable is redundant in the cable-routing channel, bundle the remaining part of the IF
power cable on the vertical column or at the cable-routing area on the side of the cabinet.
l The method of routing the IF cables is the same as the method of routing the signal cables.
l In the case of upward cabling, the signal cables of the upper subrack are led out from the
cable-through holes in the top middle of the cabinet, and the signal cables of the lower
subrack are led out from the cable-through holes on the two sides of the top of the cabinet.
l In the case of upward cabling, the signal cables of the upper and lower subracks are led out
from the cable-through holes on the two sides of the bottom of the cabinet.
13.2 Checking the Cable Installation
The following requirements should be met when the cable installation is completed.
l All cables are bound with proper tightness. The spacing between the cable ties is even, and
the remaining parts of the cable ties are cut off neatly. All cable ties face the same direction,
thus keeping the overall appearance nice.
l All cables are arranged smoothly, with no roundabout twists and turns.
l When a trough is used for cabling outside the cabinet, do not make the cables overflow the
trough.
l Cables shall be secured on the beam of the cabling frame, if such a cabling frame is used
for cabling. They shall be bound neatly in rectangle shape (or in circular shape when the
cables are single-cored).
l If need, bend the cables in a radius as large as possible. The cables cannot be bound where
they are bent.
93
l The -48 V/-60 V cable shall be blue, 0 V cable be black, and PGND cable be yellow/green
or yellow.
l The power cables are connected correctly and firmly.
l The diameter of the power cables meets the power distribution requirements.
l The external power cables are arranged separately from signal cables, with a space of more
than 3 cm.
l The power cables are bent smoothly.
l The power cables must be made of an entire piece of copper core, without any joint in the
middle.
l Labels for the power cables are filled in and affixed to the cables as required. All labels are
neat and face the same direction.

l The fiber jumpers of the equipment are led out through the cable-through holes of the
cabinet.
l When the fiber jumpers are led from the cabinet to the ODF, you must add an open
corrugated pipe whose two ends are led into the cabinet and the ODF for 10 cm.
l The fiber jumpers should be fixed neatly on the ODF and should be interconnected to the
relevant terminals properly. The remaining fiber jumpers should be spooled in order.
l When you route the internal fiber jumpers, the remaining fiber jumpers should be spooled
in the fiber spool box in order.
l The layout and connection of the fiber jumpers should comply with the layout and
connection specified in the design documents. Certain attenuators need to be added
according to the requirements of the engineering design.
99
l The bend radius of the fiber jumper must be greater than its minimum curvature radius.
Specifically, the minimum curvature radius for the 2 mm fiber jumper is 40 mm, and that
for the 3 mm fiber jumper is 60 mm.
You need to check the fiber jumper after it is installed.
When checking the installation, ensure that the following requirements are met:
l The labels are attached neatly at both the ends of the fiber jumper, and face the same
direction. The contents on the labels are correct and legible.
l The connection between the fiber jumper and the optical interface board or the flange is
firm.
l The connecting point for the fiber jumper is clean.
l All fiber jumpers are bundled neatly with even spacing and proper tightness.
l Fiber jumpers can be moved freely in the cable tie.
l Apply proper force when routing the fiber jumpers. Do not bend or pull the fiber jumpers
forcibly.
l Fiber jumpers are routed in such a manner that they facilitate maintenance and capacity
expansion.
l The fiber jumpers are secured smoothly and interconnected reliably in the ODF. The
redundant fiber jumpers are coiled neatly.
l There are no other cables or articles on the fiber jumpers.

Installation Guide 18 Powering on the Equipment
111
After a subrack is switched on, fans start to operate. The fan indicators indicate the working state
of the fans. If the indicator indicates that the fan is faulty, replace the faulty fan in time. This
section describes how to determine the state of the fan hardware by observing the fan indicators.
112
18.1 Checking Fuse Currents of the Power Supply
This task is performed to check the supply current of the power supply device and to ensure the
fuse current meets the requirements of the OptiX OSN equipment.
Prerequisites
The power supply device must have been installed and tested.
None
The internal power supply system consists of the PDU and PIU. For details on the mapping rules,
see 2.3 Mapping Policies of Power Consumption of the Hardware Description.
If you need to choose a fuse according to the actual configuration, calculate the fuse capacity
by using the following formulas:
l -48 V power system: Fuse capacity = (Total power consumption x 1.5)/42
l -60 V power system: Fuse capacity = (Total power consumption x 1.5)/52.5
The specifications of fuse capacity in the market are limited. Hence, select the minimum fuse
capacity that is higher than the value obtained after the calculation.
Procedure
Step 1 Check the maximum power consumption and fuse current of the OptiX OSN equipment.
Step 2 Compute the fuse current of the power supply device with a joint consideration of the equipment
configuration in the equipment room.
NOTE
When considering the fuse current in the equipment room, in addition to the power consumption of the
equipment, you need to compute the power consumption of the ODU. That is, the fuse current in the
equipment room is not less than the total power consumption of the equipment and ODU.
Step 3 Check if fuse current of the power supply device meets the requirement.

Step 3 Turn the subrack power switch to the ON side. The switch is on the DC PDU and is connected
to the PIU board.
Step 4 Observe the PROG indicator of the boards.
l If the PROG indicator starts to flash, it indicates that the board software is being initialized
and loaded.
l When the software is successfully loaded, the PROG indicator stays green.
Step 5 Observe the PWRA and PWRB indicators on the GSCC board.
l PWRA/PWRB (green): The power supply is normal.
l PWRA/PWRB (red or off): The power supply is faulty. Check and clear the fault.
NOTE
l If the equipment is equipped with two PIU boards but only one of them is supplied with external power,
only the PWRA or PWRB indicator stays green.
l If the equipment is equipped with only one PIU board, both the PWRA and PWRB indicators stay
green.
Step 6 Check the cabinet power indicator on the top of the cabinet. The green indicator stays on.
NOTE
The indicator on the top is driven by the AUX board. Hence, the indicators on the top of the cabinet can
be lit only when the subrack is powered on and correctly connected to the AUX board.
----End
18.5 Observing the Fan Running Status

19 Checking Fiber Jumper Connection
About This Chapter
During the fiber installation, the fiber jumper may be connected incorrectly, or the attenuation
may be very high. As a result, services may fail to run normally. To prevent this, check the fiber
connection when the fiber is routed from the optical interface to the ODF.
Context
Check the fiber jumper connection as follows:
l Use the external and stable optical source to perform the check.
l Use the optical interface board to perform the check.
To check the external fiber, use the similar method of checking the internal fiber. This chapter

A good operation environment ensures the safe operation of the OptiX transmission equipment.
Therefore, an equipment room cannot be located in areas with any of the following factors: high
temperature, heavy dust, poisonous gas, dangerous explosives, low pressure, serious vibration,
and loud noises. When designing a project, take hydrographic, geological, seismic and traffic
factors into consideration according to the communication network planning and communication
technology and thus choose a proper place that meets the environment design requirement.
The construction, structure, heating, ventilation, power supply, lighting, and fire fighting of an
equipment room should be designed by specialized construction designers. The engineering
design in terms of construction, structure, heating, ventilation, power supply, lighting, and fire
fighting must comply with the regulations and requirements for constructing and designing
buildings.
Site requirements are as follows:
l A site must be located at an altitude ranging from -60 meters to 4000 meters.
l For sources of heavy pollution such as a smeltery and coal mine, keep a distance of 5 km.

keep a distance of 3.7 km. For sources of light pollution such as food and tanner industries,
keep a distance of 2 km. If these sources of pollution cannot be avoided, the equipment
room must be in the perennial upwind direction of the pollution sources. In addition, high-
quality equipment room or protection product must be used.
l The ventilation port for air exchange of the equipment room must be kept away from the
exhaust of city waste pipes, big cesspools and sewage treatment tanks. The equipment room
must be kept in the positive pressure state lest corrosive gases enter the equipment room
and erode components and circuit boards.
l An equipment room must be kept away from industrial and heating boilers.
l Locate the equipment room on or above the second floor if possible. Otherwise, the ground
for equipment installation in the equipment room must be at least 600 mm above the
maximum flood level in the local record.
l Keep the equipment room away from livestock farms. If this requirement cannot be met,
build the equipment room in the perennial upwind direction of the livestock farms.
l An equipment room must be kept 3.7 km away from the seaside or salt lake. If this
requirement cannot be satisfied, the equipment room must be airtight with cooling facilities.

21.9 Lightening Protection and Grounding Requirements
This topic describes the requirements for lightning protection and grounding.
Table 21-6 lists the requirements for lightning protection and grounding.
Table 21-6 Requirements for lightning protection and grounding
Item Description
Structure of the
equipment room
Build the equipment room with steel and concrete. The equipment room
must be equipped with facilities such as lightening arrester to protect it
against direct lightening strokes. Make sure the lightening protection
grounding of the equipment room, or that of devices such as the
lightening arrester, shares the same grounding body with the protection
grounding of the building where the equipment room is located.
Using TN-S AC
power supply
Equip the communication office with dedicated electric transformers and
metal-jacketed or insulation-jacketed power cables. The power cables
pass through a steel pipe and are buried in the earth before entering the
office. The two ends of the metallic jacket and steel pipe must be
grounded locally. Make sure that the length of the buried cables is not
less than 15 meters. Each of the three live cables on the low-voltage side
of the AC transformer must be respectively equipped with a gapless zinc
oxide arrester. The chassis, the AC neutral cable on the low-voltage side,
and the metallic jacket of the cable connected to the chassis must be
properly grounded.
Equipping the
incoming power
cable with a
lightening arrester
Do not aerially lead in/out AC/DC power cables to or from the
communication office. Equip the indoor low-voltage power cables with
a lightening arrester in the voltage regulator or in the AC power
distribution panel. The arrester must be grounded properly. If the office
is located in a city, use an arrester that has the nominal discharge current
not less than 20 kA. If the office is located in a suburban area of
intermediate lightening danger level or higher, use a power supply
arrester that has a surge current more than 60 kA. If the office is located
in an isolated huge building in the city or in a mountain area where a
lightening stroke occurs frequently, use a power supply arrester that has
a surge current more than 100 kA. The grounding cable of the lightning
arrester must be less than one meter in length.
148
Item Description
DC power supply
grounding
The working ground of the communication office, that is, the positive
pole of the -48 V DC power supply or the negative pole of the +24 V
power supply, must be led from the local indoor grounding bus. The
grounding cable must meet the requirement of the maximum load of the
equipment. The power supply facilities for the equipment room must
possess a DC working neutral line, which is introduced from the general
grounding bus or protection grounding bar of the equipment room.
Equipotential
connection
All the communication equipment and auxiliary equipment in the room
such as the base station, transmission equipment, switching equipment,
power supply equipment, and distribution frame must be connected to
the protection ground. The protection grounding of all the equipment in
the communication office must share the same general grounding bar,
whereas the protection grounding of the same equipment room must be
connected to the same protection grounding bar. The working ground
and protection ground of the communication equipment in the room must
adopt the joint grounding mode. That is, they share the same grounding
network. Protection grounding efforts must also be made to the indoor
cabling frames, suspended iron supports, equipment rack or chassis,
metallic ventilation pipes, and metallic doors and windows.
General
requirements for
grounding
The AC neutral line cannot be connected to the protection ground of any
communication equipment in the equipment room. Make sure that no
fusees, switches or other equipment are connected to the grounding
cables. All the grounding cables must be as short and straightforward as
possible to prevent the grounding cables from winding.
Grounding
resistance
The grounding resistance must be less than 10 ohms. The upper end of
the grounding body must be 0.7 meter or more underground. In cold
areas, the grounding body must be buried in the frozen layer or lower.
Monitor the grounding resistance periodically to ensure that the
grounding is always effective.
Routing of signal
cables
Signal cables must be led into the communication office from
underground. Do not route aerial signal cables. The access
communication cable must be metal-jacketed. Otherwise, they should
be routed in metallic pipes. The grounding cable of the arrester must be
as short as possible. The empty pairs in the cable must be connected to
the protection ground in the equipment room.
Grounding bus The general grounding bus can be a grounding loop or a grounding bar.
The grounding cable cannot be made of aluminum material. If different
metallic connectors are interconnected with each other, take measures
to prevent electrochemical corrosion. Normally, the general grounding
bus is a copper bar whose cross-sectional area is not less than 120
mm
2
or a zinc-plated flat steel that has the same resistance. The
grounding bus must be insulated from the steel in the building.
Ground lead-in
wire
The grounding lead-in wire cannot be longer than 30 meters, and it must
be made from a zinc plated flat steel whose cross-sectional area is 40
mm x 4 mm or 50 mm x 5 mm.

21.10 Requirements for the Power Supply
The working power voltage of the OptiX transmission equipment ranges from -38.4 V to -57.6
V when the -40 V DC power supply is used or from -48 V to -72 V when the -60 V DC power
supply is used.
The transmission equipment provides a transmission path for communication networks. Hence,
its interruption can cause a wide influence. Therefore, the DC power distribution system must
be protected against power failure and configured with storage batteries. To deal with a long-
term power outage, a diesel generator must be equipped as the standby AC power supply for the
backbone transmission equipment. The DC power supply system consists of a storage battery,
a primary power supply (rectifier), and a DC power distribution and control panel. This topic
describes the requirements for the power supply of the equipment.
Storage Battery
A storage battery is an essential component of the DC power distribution system of the OptiX
optical transmission equipment. A storage battery performs the following functions:
l Stabilizes the voltage so that the transmission equipment can work reliably.
l Stores the energy. In the case of mains outage, the storage battery can feed power for a
period of time, according to its capacity. Thus, the communication is not interrupted
immediately.
l Filters large capacitors. The storage battery can be used to absorb surge voltage from the
rectifier and to prevent noise and power frequency interference from getting into the
communication equipment.
l Shuts down the storage battery automatically. When the voltage of the storage battery drops
to lower than -43 V, the control circuit can automatically shut down the output.
The storage battery of the OptiX optical transmission equipment is charged and discharges under
a low and constant voltage. Table 21-7 lists the relevant requirements.

Primary Power Supply (Rectifier)
The requirements for the primary power supply are as follows:
l The primary power supplies can operate in parallel, and a current equalizer must exist
between them.
l The primary power supply should be equipped with a current limiter.
l The output voltage of the primary power supply should meet the requirement for initial
charging of the storage battery, that is, 2.35 x 24 = 56.4 V DC (when the power supply is
-48 V DC).
l A DC voltmeter and an ammeter should be installed for the primary power supply.
l The efficiency of the primary power supply should be more than 85% and its power factor
must be more than 0.8.
l The primary power supply is cooled in a natural manner. It can work continuously with
full load at a ambient temperature of 0C to 40C.
l The output noise voltage (measured with a psophometer, plus the weighing factor) of the
primary power supply must meet the requirements listed in Table 21-8.
l The primary power supply can automatically shut down the output at a low voltage.

DC Power Distribution and Control Panel
The requirements for the DC distribution and control panel are as follows:
l The capacity of the primary power supply must be designed according to the power
consumption of the transmission equipment of the terminal office. A certain margin must
be reserved. Normally, use a high frequency switching power supply that has high
conversion efficiency and that works in N+1 hot standby mode. An output current equalizer
must be provided for each power module. The failure of a single power module does not
affect the normal operation of the entire DC power distribution system.
l Each control panel can access a minimum of two groups of storage batteries. When one
group of storage battery fails, the other can supply power.
l Each control panel can access a minimum of five primary power supplies.
l The power supply equipment must perform the automatic function to meet the non-
attendant requirement.
l When the primary power supply charges the storage batteries in floating charge mode, the
number of primary power supplies in operation depends on the load. When one primary
power supply becomes faulty, it drops out automatically, and the standby primary power
supply automatically starts to operate.
l In the case of mains outage, the storage battery must discharge. When the mains resumes,
it automatically recharges the discharged storage battery with a current 0.1 to 0.15 times
the battery capacity. When the charge voltage reaches 56.4 V, it must automatically change
to the constant-voltage charge state.
l When the storage battery is fully charged, it automatically changes to the floating charge
state.
l When the power supply equipment fails or works abnormally, visual and audible alarms
are generated. The alarm information is transmitted to the operation and maintenance
center.
l If a short circuit occurs in a tributary path of the power supply system, the entire power
distribution system should not be affected by the sharp voltage reduction. The peak striking
voltage should not cause any fault to the transmission equipment.
The OptiX optical transmission equipment also has strict restrictions on random transient noises,
including the external magnetic interference and the interference from the equipment and the
grounding cables. The shorter the duration of the transient pulse is, the higher value the allowable
transient noises is. For the allowable values, see Figure 21-3.
152
Figure 21-3 Transient noise diagram

Requirements for the Basic DC Power Supply
The requirements for the basic DC power supply are as follows:
l Provide power supply in decentralized mode. That is, use multiple DC power supply
systems and set power supply devices on multiple sites.
l Use a DC power supply system that complies with the relevant standard. Set the output
voltage value of the communication power supply to the range specified in the standard.
l Enhance the reliability of the AC power supply system and decrease the capacity of the
storage battery to a proper extent. When the reliability of the AC power supply system at
a small communication station fails to be enhanced, increase the capacity of the storage
battery accordingly.
l Ensure that the total capacity of the high frequency switch rectifiers meet the requirements
of the communication payload power and the power of the storage battery charge. Configure
the rectifier modules in redundant mode. When less than 10 main rectifier modules are
available, configure one standby rectifier module. When more than 10 main rectifier
modules are available, configure one standby module for each 10 rectifiers.
l Install two or more groups of storage batteries. The total capacity of one group of storage
battery depends on the time the power supply of the battery group can last. In most
communication offices, one group of storage battery must provide power supply for at least
one hour.
21.11 Lighting in the Equipment Room
The equipment room of the OptiX optical transmission equipment is equipped with three lighting
systems:
l Active lighting system, which is powered by the mains supply.
l Backup lighting system, which is powered by the backup power supply (diesel electric
generator) of the office.
l Emergency lighting system, which is powered by storage batteries when the mains supply
is interrupted but the backup power supply does not start to supply power.
153
21.12 Protection System
This topic describes the requirements for the protection system.
Antistatic Protection
The equipment-affecting electrostatic induction might derive from the two sources: external
electric field such as outdoor high voltage transmission line or lightning; internal system such
as indoor environment, floor materials, and equipment structure.
Static electricity might damage the chips on integrated circuit boards and cause faults in software
and electronic switch. Statistics shows that 60% of the damaged circuit boards are caused by
static electricity. Therefore, it is important to take antistatic protection measures in the equipment
room.
The following measures are recommended:
l Ground the equipment well. Although the antistatic floor covered with semiconductive
materials is installed, copper foil must be used for grounding at certain points on the floor.
The copper foil must be placed between the cement ground and the semiconductive floor
and be connected with the grounding cable.
l Take dust-proof measures. Dust might cause severe harm to the optical synchronous
transmission equipment. Dust or other particles might cause poor connection between
connectors or metallic connecting points. In case of high humidity, dust can cause electrical
leakage. In normal cases, equipment failures are caused by accumulated dusts, which is
found in maintenance. Electrostatic adherence is likely to occur, especially when the
humidity in the room is very low.
l Keep proper temperature and humidity. Too high humidity might make the metal
components rusty while too low humidity might induce static electricity.
l Wear an antistatic wrist strap and lab coat when touching a circuit board to prevent
electrostatic damage to the equipment.
Interference Prevention
As the technologies and social economy develop, more and more electromagnetic signals are
transmitted in the air. These signals might affect the communication quality by causing cross-
talk and stray noise, and even result in communication interruption. The electromagnetic
interference (EMI) sources include the following:
l Corona discharge of the electric transmission line
l Transformer
l Switches
l Waveform distortion of the power supply network caused during the operation of large
equipment
l Radio frequency (RF) interference
l Natural interference sources such as terrestrial magnetic field and external radiation.
The interference, from either inside or outside the equipment or the application system, affects
the equipment through conductive modes such as capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,
electromagnetic wave radiation, common impedance (including grounding system), and cable
(power and signal cables). In terms of external relations of the equipment, interference derives
154
from the signal cable, power cable, grounding system and spatial electromagnetic wave.
Integrated circuits (ICs) have a certain interference resistance capability. Signal corruption and
even system malfunction, however, might occur when the external noises go beyond their anti-
interference tolerance. It is impossible to eliminate or shield all the interference sources, but the
following measures can be taken to suppress the interference signals.
l High frequency interference in the power supply network is generated when the primary
coil of the power supply transformer is coupled to the secondary coil through distributed
capacitors. To suppress such interference, use an appropriate transformer, and install a low-
pass filter at the inlet of the power supply cable.
l The interference of the transient voltage in the power supply network can be reduced by
inputting power directly from the primary transformer and adding a filter capacitor for the
optical synchronous transmission equipment.
l When the optical synchronous transmission equipment works in the 50 Hz mains power
supply network with the above interference, the surge voltage caused by the power supply
network and the over-voltage generated by lightening are passed to the power supply of
the optical synchronous transmission equipment. This leads to computing errors of the
processors. Therefore, before directly using the mains supply, take effective measures
against interference from power supply network.
l The key to eliminating the interference from the grounding system is to avoid loops among
various grounds, such as the signal ground (including analog and digital grounds), BGND,
PGND and shield ground, or loops formed by large distributed capacitors. Otherwise, the
common impedance interference from the grounding system might affect the operation of
the equipment. In buildings other than high-rises, the working ground of the optical
transmission equipment must be separated as far as possible from the ground for electricity
equipment and lightning protection device.
l Prevent electromagnetic radiation interference from the surroundings to the equipment. If
a high frequency transmitter exists in certain integrated communication buildings, its
influence on the optical transmission equipment must meet the relevant requirements.
Independent power supplies are recommended for them.
l EMI from the telecommunications line must be restrained. Influenced by high frequency
electromagnetic field (external interference), the core and sheath of the communication
cable bear high longitudinal voltage. Because of the asymmetry of cores in the cables, the
longitudinal voltage generates a horizontal noise voltage at the ends of the cores. When
both ends of the cable sheath are grounded, the sheath functions as a shielding layer, which
greatly reduces the longitudinal voltage and reduces the interference voltage. Other
effective methods include: (1) reduce the voltage or current of the interference source; (2)
minimize the line length and the spacing of the conducting wires to reduce the area of the
affected loop; (3) directly place the insulated conducting wires on the grounded floor; (4)
use a dedicated grounding feedback cable to prevent co-impedance; (5) twist the signal
cable and the feedback cable together to offset partial peripheral electromagnetic
interference.
Fire Protection
In small equipment rooms, a certain number of portable fire extinguishers must be equipped for
an initial fire control. In large equipment rooms, fixed fire extinguishing facilities must be
equipped. An automatic fire alarm system must also be equipped in the equipment room. All
telecom buildings with the fire alarm system must have fire emergency lighting system and
evacuation instruction marks at important places, paths and gateways.
155
Anti-Earthquake Requirements
The designed anti-earthquake intensity of the telecom equipment room must be one degree
(Richter scale) higher than that for the common buildings. The equipment room building that
cannot meet the requirement must be reinforced. When installing the OptiX transmission
equipment, take the following anti-earthquake measures:
l Use a steel framework for the cabinet of the OptiX transmission equipment. Locking
devices must be used to fix the boards in the cabinet.
l Ensure that the cabinet is reinforced with slide rail on the top and supports at the bottom.
Lightning Protection
Chimneys, antennae or other things that are over 15 m tall on the top of the equipment room
building must be designed according to the lightning protection requirements for civil buildings.
Measures must be taken against direct flash and intrusion of lightning current. In the main high-
rise transmission building, protective measures must be taken to prevent side lightning strokes,
especially in frequent lightning areas. Therefore, designers must take appropriate measures
according to the actual situation. For example, connect the metallic external window frame to
the lightning protection wire; along the height of the building, place the metallic lightning
protection bands at a definite spacing on the outside wall. The main equipment-room building
must be provided with the following lightning protection measures:
l Equip the building with lightning arrester nets or bands at the positions susceptible to
lightning strokes. Install lightning prevention wires or lightning rods on the top of chimneys
and antennas that are protruding from the building. The cross-sectional area of the
grounding wire of the lightning protection device cannot be smaller than 2 mm
2
. The
spacing between the wires cannot be larger than 30 m.
l Ensure that the earth resistance of the earthing/grounding system is must be less than 10
ohm.
l Ground the external cables and metallic pipes before they enter the building. The outdoor
overhead cables must be equipped with lightening protection devices at the entrance of the
building.
l Use roof plates, beams and pillars made of reinforced concrete and the reinforcement bar
as the ground wires of lightening arresters.
In the past, lightning protection grounding of the building was separate from the grounding for
telecom system and power supply system, and a large distance was required between the
grounding objects. The distance requirement, however, is not met due to a small space of the
building. In fact, they cannot be separated in most cases, so joint grounding system is
recommended for the lightening protection grounding of the building The joint grounding system
should connect the telecom BGND, PGND, lightning protection grounding of the building, and
grounding of the power frequency AC power supply system. A high earth resistance of the joint
grounding system is required. The earth resistance required by telecommunication is far lower
than 10 ohms, and the grounding requirements for different telecom devices vary. Therefore,
the resistance of the joint grounding system must be determined according to the minimum
resistance required for the grounding device. Use steel bars in the walls and pillars of the building
as ground wires for lightening protection. These wires must be electrically connected to equalize
the electric potential in the building.

This topic describes the method and requirements for binding the cables.
Installation Guide 23 Requirements of Cabling and Bundling
162
23.1 Requirements of Cabling
This topic describes the method and requirements of cable routing.
l For equipment room installed with supports and ESD protection floor, cables can be
arranged in downward mode. That is, all cables can be routed through the interlayer of the
floor or the cable trough. If the upward cabling mode is adopted, cabling rack is required
above the cabinet for holding cables.
l The specifications and cross-sectional area of the cable, and the route and position for
cabling should be designed beforehand.
l All cables should be arranged neatly, with their sheaths remaining intact.
l Communication cables, such as alarm cables, network cables and clock cables, should be
arranged separately with the power cable and optical fibers.
l Turnings of the cable should be smooth, with the bend radius three times the cable diameter
or above.
l Any damage to the insulation layer of the conducting line is not allowed.
l The cable arrangement should take the future maintenance and capacity expansion into
consideration.
23.2 Requirements for Cable Bundling
This topic describes the method and requirements for binding the cables.
l The cables should be bound in a tidy, clear, and elegant manner. As a general rule, cables
are grouped by types, or grouped as needed when they are in a large number. Bind them
with cable ties and route them in either upward or downward cabling mode in the cabling
area at the two sides of the cabinet.
l Cables must be bundled when arranged in ducts. Bind the cables closely with appropriate
tightness. The space between the cable ties should be even and the overall appearance of
the cabling nice.
l You may not bind the cables when arranged in cable troughs. But they should be placed
tidy and straight in the trough with no crossover. Moreover, the cables can not overflow
the trough. At two ends and turnings of the trough, use a plastic clip for the cables.
l Cables both inside and outside the cabinet must be bundled. Keep the cables bundled closely
and neatly.
l Use cable ties of different specifications for cables according to actual circumstances.
l Do not connect two cable ties in bundling. Otherwise, the binding strength will be
weakened.
l After the bundling, cut the remaining part of the cable tie smoothly, removing all burrs.
l The space between the cable ties is even and is three or four times the size of the bundle
diameter.
l When making turning for the bundled cable, keep the bend radius as big as possible to avoid
breaking the cable cores at the turning.
Figure 23-1 shows the specific operation of bundling.

end of the cable, like the location of control cabinet, distribution box or power socket.
24.2.2 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.
167
The information is given like this:
l Area 1 contains the location information of local end of the cable.
l Area 2 (with the mark "TO:") contains the location information of the opposite end of the
cable.
l Area 3 has been folded up inside the label.
Printed parts on the label for signal cables, as shown in Figure 24-3.
Figure 24-3 Label for signal cables
Area 3
Area 1
A r e a 2T O :

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. Therefore, the
information in Area 1 at one end is the same as the information in Area 2 at the other end of the
cable, and vice versa. In other words, the local information at one end is called the opposite
information at the other end.
24.2.3 Remarks
To use labels, focus on the following points.
l When printing/writing and affixing labels, pay attention to keep the labels clean.
l Since the label paper is made of moistureproof and waterproof material, ink-jet printers
and ink pens are forbidden for printing and writing labels.
l Labels should be affixed with good order in alignment.
l Cable ties should be bundled in the same position of power cables, with identification plates
on the same side.
l The positions of "up", "down", "right" or "left" are all based on the viewpoint of the
engineering person who is working on the label.
24.3 Filling Information on Labels
This topic describes how to fill information on labels. The contents can be printed or written on
the labels. Printing is recommended for the sake of high efficiency and eye-pleasant layout.
24.3.1 Printing Labels
Use a laser printer to print the label according to the template.
168
Template for the Printing
Template is available to print out the label. You can obtain the template by:
l Downloading the template from http://support.huawei.com. The directory of the template
is Documentation > Engineering Service > Engineering Quality > Quality Standard and
Template.
l Asking for the template from Huawei local office.
The template is written in Microsoft Word, as shown in Figure 24-4.
Figure 24-4 Template of label
1. Cell 2. Cell

Cells Merging on the Template
When using the template, you can directly modify the contents on the template, and the following
should be observed:
l The settings of centered characters, direction, and fonts should not be changed.
l When there are too many characters to be filled in, zoom out the characters, but make sure
the printouts are clear and legible.
To merge the cells, you should first recover the table structure (if gridlines are displayed, you
can start from Step 3 directly).
1. Select Edit > Select All.
2. Select Format > Borders and Shading > Borders. Select Box and click OK.
3. Drag the mouse to select the cells to be merged and select Table > Merge Cells.
If two merged cells are still not enough to accommodate the characters, use multiple lines.
169
Requirements on the Printer
To print the labels, laser jet printer must be used, although there is no restriction on the model
of the printer. Before printing the label, set up the page and try the printing on ordinary blank
paper (both sides are blank):
1. Cover the blank paper onto the whole page of label paper, and check whether the page setup
conforms to the requirement.
2. Make sure the printer properties, such as Paper sizeand Direction, have been set correctly.
3. If the warning prompt as shown in Figure 24-5 appears before printing, click Ignore to
continue the printing.
Figure 24-5 Warning prompt before printing

If the printout conforms to the requirement, print it to label paper. If the printout does not
conform, adjust the page setup and try the printing again, until the correct printout is produced.
The method of adjusting the page setup is as follows:
1. Select File > Page Setup.
2. Select the Margins tab.
3. Select Left for Gutter Position.
4. Set Header and Footerto 0, and adjust the values of Top, Bottom, Left, and Right.
After the page setup has been made correct, save it for future use. This page setup is only
necessary the first time you use the template to print the labels.
Requirements on the Printed Label
After you print the labels, check whether they comply with the template specifications:
l All the printouts must be on the label, and nothing should be printed on the bottom page
of the label.
l Contents in the cells should be aligned in the center. In a single-line printout, the dividing
lines and the mark "TO:" should not be covered by the printed characters.
l When the cells are merged and the printouts are made in multiple lines, avoid covering the
mark "TO:" when printing the texts by using the space bar to move the printing contents
to the next line.
170
CAUTION
Different from the ordinary paper, the label paper is composed of two pages. No matter what
model of printer you are using, feed in the labels one after another by hand. Never use the auto-
feed mode in order to avoid jamming the labels. Different models of printers may have different
feeding modes, make sure to feed in the labels correctly.
24.3.2 Writing Labels
Use the black oiliness markers delivered together with the equipment to write the labels. For
easy recognition and good-looking, the font in handwriting should be close to the standard
typeface as much as possible.
Writing Pen
Use the black oiliness markers delivered together with the device to write the labels.
In special cases, black ball-pens are allowed, although not recommended. When writing with
the ball-pen, take care not to leave the oil on the label, which may contaminate the label and blur
the words.
NOTE
The delivered marker has two nibs. Make sure to use the smaller nib to write the labels.
Handwriting
For the sake of easy recognition and good looking, the font in handwriting should be close to
the standard typeface as much as possible.Table 24-1 shows the standard typeface.

24.4 Affixing Labels
After printing or writing the label, remove the label from the bottom page and affix it to the
signal cable, or the identification plate of the power cable.
24.4.1 Affixing the Label to the Signal Cable
This topic describes the positions where the labels should be affixed on the signal cables and
the means by which the labels are folded.
The steps to affix the label to the cable are shown in Figure 24-7 The finished labels should be
on the right or top of the cables, according to different cabling methods. The left part of the
figures shows the method to affix the label when the cable is laid vertically, while the right part
of the figures shows the method to affix the label when the cable is laid horizontally.
It is recommended to paste a label at a point 2 cm from the connector.
NOTE
In special cases, for example, to avoid cable bent or affecting other cables, other positions are allowed to
affix the labels.
l Stick the label to the proper position on the cable, fold the narrow part of the label according
to the directions shown in Figure 24-7.

The length of the narrow part is based on an external cable diameter of 2.6 mm, after this part
has been stuck to the back of the label, it may not overlap the entire printed part.
l Fold the printed part along the dotted line according to the directions shown in Figure
24-7.
l After the printed part of the label has been folded, the narrow part of the label should be
covered completely, as shown in Figure 24-7.
172
Fold the Label
Fold the label upwards along the dashed line, and affix it. After being affixed, the label is shaped
as (3) of Figure 24-7.
24.4.2 Affixing the Label to the Power Cable
This topic describes the positions where the labels should be affixed on the power cables and
the means by which the cable ties are bound to the power cables.
Remove the label from the bottom page, then affix it to the identification plate on the cable tie.
The label should be stuck to the rectangular flute, and should be stuck to only one side of the
identification plate. Make sure to affix the labels on the same side of the identification plates.
The cable ties are bundled 2 cm from the connectors, and other positions are allowed in special
circumstances.
Cable ties should be bundled 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. Make sure the label is facing out, as shown in Figure 24-8.

24.4.3 Affixing the Label to the IF Cables
This topic describes the positions where the labels should be affixed on the IF cables and the
means by which the cable ties are bound to the IF cables.
Context
Determine the place where the label for the IF cable is to be bound. Generally, bind the label 20
cm away from the connector of the IF cable. Then use outdoor cable ties to bind the label with
the IF cable. The label surface with letters should face outwards. All the cable ties should face
the same direction, as shown in Figure 24-9.

24.5 Frequently Used Engineering Labels
This section describes the frequently used engineering labels. The other labels are omitted here.
You can perform the operation as required on site.
24.5.1 Engineering Labels for Power Cables
The labels are affixed to the DC cables that provide power for the cabinets, and the protection
grounding cables, including the -48 V, PGND, and BGND cables. The labels for DC power
cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties.
Table 24-2 shows the information carried on the labels for the DC power cables.
Table 24-2 Information on labels affixed to the DC power cables
Content Meaning
MN(BC) - -1 MN (BC): BC is written right under MN. On the loaded cabinet
side, MN identifies the row and column number of the power
distribution equipment like the control cabinet and distribution
box, 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).
BGND and PGND have no row and column number for
identification. On the power cabinet side, only MN is used to
identify the cabinet.
MN(BC) - -2
MN(BC) - BGND
MN(BC) - PGND

The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment, the control cabinet or
the distribution box, while information of the local end is not necessary. Table 24-2 lists the
information of two -48 V power supplies on the label. The information for other DC voltages
(such as 24 V, 60 V) should be given in similar methods. Make sure that labels are affixed in
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 24-10.

side, which carries the information
about the position of the cable on
the loaded cabinet side.
174

On the loaded cabinet side, the label marked with "A01/B08--2" on the cable indicates that the
cable is -2 DC supply, which is from the eighth connector on the second row of -48V bus bar in
the cabinet on Row A, and Column 1 in the equipment room.
On the distribution unit side, the label marked with "B03--2" indicates that the cable is -2 DC
supply, which is from the loaded cabinet on Row B, Column 03 in the equipment room.
NOTE
l In the power distribution unit (or the first power cabinet of a row in the transmission equipment room),
every terminal block on the - 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.
l PGND and BGND are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are connected, therefore which
terminal is connected makes no difference. It is only necessary to give the row and column of the power
distribution unit, 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 unit on Row A, Column 01 in the
equipment room. Information on the labels for PGND cables should be given in the similar way.
24.5.2 Engineering 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 posted on the first cabinet of each row should indicate
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 should be filled in.
Table 24-3 shows the information on the labels of alarm box external cables.
Table 24-3 Information on labels affixed to the external cables of alarm box
Content Meaning Example
MN MN: serial
number of the
cabinet in the
equipment room
M: The cabinets going from front to back (in a row) in the
equipment room are numbered from A to Z.
N: The cabinets going from left to right (in a column) are
numbered from 01 to 99.
For example, A01 is the cabinet in Row A and Column
01.

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.
Figure 24-11 shows a label on the alarm cable, on which "A01" indicates that the alarm cable
connects the first cabinet and the cabinet on Row A, Column 01 in the equipment room.
