3.2 Application Scenarios of a BTS3900A Configured with
RFUs Only
When only RFUs are configured, different configurations of cabinets can be used for the
BTS3900A in the 110 V AC/220 V AC power supply scenario and -48 V DC power supply
scenario.
Cabinet Configuration Principles
l A BTS3900A site can be configured with a maximum of 12 RFUs.
l The maximum cabinet configuration of a BTS3900A site is 1 APM30H+1 TMC11H+2
RFCs+2 IBBS200Ds/IBBS200Ts. There must be a clearance of 40 mm (1.57 in.) between
the cabinets installed side by side.
l The RFC can only be stacked below the APM30H or TMC11H.
l The IBBS200D or IBBS200T can be stacked only with the IBBS200D, IBBS200T, or
TMC11H. The IBBS200D or IBBS200T can only be stacked below the TMC11H.
BTS3900A (Ver.D)
19
l When a site is configured with over six RFUs and only one IBBS200D or IBBS200T, the
IBBS200D or IBBS200T must be configured with at least two groups of 92 Ah storage
batteries to avoid overcurrent of a single battery group during discharging.
l If an auxiliary cabinet such as the IBBS200D/IBBS200T or TMC11H is required during
initial site deployment, the auxiliary cabinet is positioned on the left side of the basic
cabinet. If both the battery cabinet and transmission cabinet are required, the battery cabinet
is positioned on the left of the basic cabinet, and the transmission cabinet is stacked on the
battery cabinet or positioned on the left of the battery cabinet.
l During base station deployment, space must be reserved for capacity expansion in the
future. Unless otherwise stated, during capacity expansion the original cabinets remain in
the original positions and new cabinets are added to the right of original cabinets. In a
special scenario, new cabinets can be added to the left of original cabinets.
l When a BTS3900A is configured with two BBUs and both BBUs are connected to RFUs,
the BBUs must be interconnected.
l A BTS3900A configured with one APM30H and one RFC is configured with one BBU by
default. It can be configured with a maximum of two BBUs, and the power consumption
of all BBU boards cannot exceed 1000 W. This principle applies to a new or expansion
scenario.
Cabinet Configurations of a Single- or Dual-mode Base Station
A single- or dual-mode base station is configured with only one BBU, and the BBU is installed
in the APM30H or TMC11H. When seven to twelve RFUs need to be configured, two RFCs are
required.
Table 3-6 describes the cabinet configurations of a single- or dual-mode base station with
different backup power capacities, space for customer equipment, and carrier configurations.

Cabinet Configurations of a Triple-Mode Base Station
Two BBUs are configured for a triple-mode station, the BBUs are installed as follows:
l Two BBUs are configured in initial site deployment. The BBUs are installed in an APM30H
and transmission equipment is installed in a TMC11H.
l During the capacity expansion, if there is space for a second BBU in the APM30H, the
BBU is installed in the APM30H. Otherwise, the BBU is installed in a TMC11H.

3.3 Application Scenarios of a BTS3900A Configured with
RFUs and RRUs
When RFUs and RRUs are configured, different configurations of cabinets can be used for the
BTS3900A in the 110 V AC/220 V AC power supply scenario and 48 V DC power supply
scenario.
Cabinet Configuration Principles
l A single BTS3900A can be configured with a maximum of six RFUs and nine RRUs.
Therefore, more than one BTS3900As must be deployed if more than six RFUs and nine
RRUs are required.
l When a BTS3900A is configured with both RFUs and RRUs, a DCDU-12B is needed to
be installed in RFC, the maximum configuration of RRUs is six RRUs of 2*60 W and three
RRUs of 2*40 W.
l When both the RFU and RRU support the GSM mode, the BBU3900 must be configured
with a GTMUb. In addition, the RFUs supporting the GSM mode are connected to the
GTMUb, and the RRUs supporting the GSM mode are connected to the UBRI.

3.4 Installation Clearance Requirements
The installation of the BTS3900A is classified into three scenarios: a single cabinet is installed
alone, two cabinets are installed side by side, and two cabinets are stacked.
When two cabinets are installed side by side, the clearance between them must range from 40
mm (1.57 in.) to 150 mm (5.91 in.). If a noise reduction module (NRM) is required, the minimum
clearance between two cabinets is 300 mm (11.81 in.).
The following figure shows the clearance requirements for the APM30H, TMC11H, RFC, and
IBBS200D/IBBS200T configured at a BTS3900A site.
NOTE
The three cabinets in the following figure may be an RFC, a TMC11H, and an IBBS200D. The installation
clearances for an IBBS200T are the same as the installation clearances shown in the preceding figure, but its
planform is different from any of the three cabinets in the preceding figure.

The following figure shows the clearance requirements for the APM30H, TMC11H, RFC, and
IBBS700D/IBBS700T configured at a BTS3900A site.
NOTE
If the IBBS700D/IBBS700T is configured at the BTS3900A and the space is sufficient, preferentially align front
doors of all cabinets. If the space is insufficient and the front doors cannot be aligned, align the rear of the
cabinets.

5 Obtaining the ESN
This chapter describes how to obtain the Electronic Serial Number (ESN). The ESN is a unique
identifier of a Network Element (NE). Record the ESN for later commissioning of the base
station before installation.
Procedure
Step 1 Record the ESN on the BBU.
l If there is not a label on the FAN unit of the BBU, you must record the ESN and site
information that is printed on a mounting ear of the BBU. Figure 5-1 shows the position of
the ESN.
l If there is a label on the FAN unit of the BBU, the ESN is printed on the label and a mounting
ear of the BBU. In this case, you must take the label and record the site information on the

12.1 Cabling Requirements
Route cables according to the specified cabling requirements to prevent signal interference.
NOTE
If a cable listed below is not required, skip the routing of the cable.
General Cabling Requirements
Bending Radius
l The bending radius of a 7/8'' feeder must be more than 250 mm (9.84 in.), and the bending
radius of a 5/4'' feeder must be more than 380 mm (14.96 in.).
l The bending radius of a 1/4'' jumper must be more than 35 mm (1.38 in.). The bending
radius of a super-flexible 1/2'' jumper must be more than 50 mm (1.97 in.), and the bending
radius of an ordinary 1/2'' jumper must be more than 127 mm (5 in.).
l The bending radius of a power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times the diameter
of the cable.
l The bending radius of a fiber optic cable is at least 20 times of its core diameter. The bending
radius of a breakout cable is at least 30 mm (1.18 in.).
l The bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its core diameter.
l The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its core diameter.
Binding
l Cables of the same type must be bound together.
l Different types of cables must be separately routed and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.
l The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.
l The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.
l The extra length of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The extra length of 5 mm (0.2 in.) of the
outdoor cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.
l After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.
Security
l When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.
l When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.
l Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m is recommended) between equipment and cables
especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.
Room Entry
l Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.
BTS3900A (Ver.D)
123
l Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are more than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.
l When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.
l Take waterproof measures to the feeder window.
Outdoor Cabling Requirements
l Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.
l The cables to be protected consist of AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables
routed underground.
l When routing cables through protective tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 3 cm
to 5 cm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the protective tubes into the base of the cabinet but
do not put the protective tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon
gel to block both ends of the protective tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the protective
tubes to the cable holes in the base.
l When routing cables through protective tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet,
do not put the protective tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and
connect the protective tubes to the cable holes in the base.
l Use clips to secure cables outdoors.
l Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.
l Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92
ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.
l Clips are vertical with the cables and not bent. Cables secured with the same clips are
parallel to each other.
l When using clips to secure cables, do not tighten the screws on the clips until all cables are
arranged and routed.

Special Cabling Requirements
Routing of Power Cables
l Power cables must be installed in the position specified in engineering design documents.
l If the length of power cables is insufficient, replace the cables rather than adding connectors
or soldering joints to lengthen the cables.
l Cabling activities require strict organization and coordination, and are allowed only when
qualified personnel and communication facilities are available.
l Circling and twisting of cables are prohibited.
l After routing a DC power cable onto the platform on a tower, route it along the shortest
path to the rails surrounding the platform, and route it along the inside of the rails.
l After routing a DC power cable close to the equipment on a tower, use clips to secure the
power cable onto a pole or the rails surrounding the platform. Ensure that there is no
BTS3900A (Ver.D)
126
excessively long distance between the equipment and the position where the power cable
is secured.
Cabling of PGND Cables
l PGND cables for a base station must be connected to the same group of ground bars.
l PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed indoors. They should not be routed
overhead before they are led into the equipment room.
l The exterior of the coaxial wire and the shield layer of the shielded cable must have proper
electrical contact with the metal surface of the equipment to which they are connected.
l PGND cables and signal cables must be installed in an untangled and orderly manner. A
certain distance must be reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
l Fuses or switches must not be installed on the PGND cables.
l Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.
l All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably connected to the ground
terminal.
Cabling of E1 Cables
l E1 cables must not cross power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables when routed. If
transmission cables are routed with power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables in parallel,
the spacing between them must be greater than 30 mm (1.18 in.).
l E1 cables are routed straightly and bound neatly with cable ties.
l Sufficient slack is provided in E1 cables at turns.
l Prevent the E1 cables routed in a cabinet from being pressed by the door of the cabinet, as
shown in Figure 12-3 and Figure 12-4.

fiber optic cables are allowed only when qualified personnel and communication facilities
are available.
l The operating temperature of fiber optic cables is from -40
o
C to 60
o
C (-40
o
F to 140
o
F). If
the actual temperature is beyond this scope, take protective measures or select another route.
l Circling and twisting of cables are prohibited.
l Do not bind a fiber optic cable at the position where it bends.
l Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on fiber optic cables. Keep the fiber optic
cables away from sharp objects.
l When fiber optic cables are routed, the extra length of the fiber optic cables must be coiled
around special devices, such as a fiber coiler.
l When coiling fiber optic cable, apply even strength. Do not bend the fiber optic cable with
force.
l Vacant optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.
l Prevent the fiber optic cables routed in a cabinet from being pressed by the door of the
cabinet, as shown in Figure 12-5, Figure 12-6, Figure 12-7, and Figure 12-8.
