Installation Guide
NOTE
In each cabinet, A1 and B1 form a pair of active and standby power supply ports, as do A3 and B3. As
shown in the preceding figure, to create a hot backup, connect ports A1 and A3 to one power supply group
in the PDF, and ports B1 and B3 to a different power supply group.
Connect the PGND cables for a cabinet to the nearest ground bar. If the PDF is located a great distance
from the cabinet (for example, they are not in the same equipment room), connect the PGND cables to the
nearest ground bar that is co-grounded with the PDF instead of connecting them directly to the PDF. In
this case, the methods of installing and routing PGND cables are the same as those of connecting PGND
cables directly to the PDF. In practice, PGND cables must be connected based on customer requirements.

Lay out power cables and PGND cables with future capacity expansion in mind.
When laying out power cables and PGND cables, separate them from signal cables. Lay
out power cables along outer columns. When you lay out power cables and PGND cables
parallel to signal cables, the space between them must be at least 30 mm.
The bending radius of a cable must be five times larger than the diameter of the cable.
When using the underfloor cabling mode, reserve a surplus length of power cable outside
the cable inlet of the power distribution box on the top of the cabinet. This facilitates the
installation of terminals. In addition, lay out cables flat on the top of the cabinet.
When connecting power cables to the terminals on the power distribution box, lay out the
cables straightly and smoothly.
When binding power cables and PGND cables, separate them from signal cables.
When using the underfloor cabling mode, route the power cables and PGND cables along
the middle standing pillar on the front right side of the cabinet.
Select the appropriate cable ties, either 150 mm or 300 mm according to the diameter and
number of cables.
Bind the cable ties in the same direction. Cut any excess from the cable ties, cutting surfaces
smoothly without sharp edges.

Prerequisites
l
Power cables and PGND cables between a cabinet and the PDF are installed.
Context
The cabinet uses a DC power supply. For details, see Technical Specifications of the Power
Distribution Box.
NOTICE
Wear an ESD wrist strap and connect it to the ESD connector on the cabinet before performing
any operations.
You need not to remove the board for performing the power-on check. During powering on a
subrack, do not insert a board into or remove a board from the subrack to avoid static damage
to boards.
Procedure
Step 1 Set the corresponding output switches on the PDF and all the output switches on the power
distribution box to OFF.
Step 2 Use the multimeter to measure the resistance at the power output terminal for the PDF and at
the input and output terminals for the power distribution box. Ensure that short-circuiting does
not occur either between the -48 V working power and the RTN working ground or between the
-48 V working power and the PGND protection ground.

Step 3 Set the output switches on the PDF to ON and all the output switches on the power distribution
box to OFF.
Then, the power distribution box starts self-check. (The RUN and ALM indicators on the power
distribution box are on and the buzzer sounds.) After the self-check, the power distribution box
requests registering at the SCUb board (the RUN indicator on the power distribution box blinks
at 2 Hz) until the registration is successful (the RUN indicator blinks at 0.5 Hz). For details about
the indicators on the power distribution box, see Indicators on the Power Distribution Box.
Step 4 Set the multimeter to the voltage scale. Use the multimeter to measure the output voltage of the
PDF or the input voltage of the power distribution box. Ensure that the voltages range from -40
V to -57 V.
Step 5 Set the corresponding two switches on the power distribution box to ON.
Step 6 Set the multimeter to the voltage scale. Use the multimeter to check whether the output power
provided by the power distribution box for each subrack ranges from -40 V to -57 V. Check
whether the fan assembly in the subrack can be normally started and whether the power supply
to the boards in the subrack is normal.
l If a subrack is powered on and started normally, the green STATUS indicator on the panel
of the fan assembly blinks. If exceptions occur, turn off the switches on the power distribution
box and the PDF immediately. Check whether the output voltage of the power distribution
box is normal and the power cables are installed correctly. For details about the indicators
on the fan assembly, see Indicators on the Fan Assembly.
l If a subrack is powered on and started normally, the RUN indicator on the board panel is ON
or blinks. If all the indicators on a board are OFF, the board or its slot may be faulty. Contact
Huawei technical support to resolve this problem.
l If indicators on all the boards in a subrack are OFF, turn off the switches on the power
distribution box and the PDF immediately. Check whether the output voltage of the power
distribution box is normal and the power cables are installed correctly.
Step 7 Repeat Step 5 to Step 6 to check the power supply to all the subracks in one cabinet.
Step 8 Repeat Step 1 to Step 7 to measure the power supply to each cabinet.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
Record the power-on check results in 12 Installation Records. Set the corresponding output
switches on the PDF and all the output switches on the power distribution box to OFF.

Step 1 Route the end with two LC/PC optical connectors (the end marked A and B in the figure) to the
subrack. The cables connected to the boards in slots 20 to 27 should be routed to the right, and
those connected to the boards in slots 14 to 19 should be routed to the left. Use cable ties to bind
the optical fibers to the cable trough. Optical splitters/combiners can be bound in one or several
groups, depending on the number of optical splitters/combiners to be installed on site.
Step 2 Route the optical fibers along the spacing between the optical splitter/combiner and the rear
baffle plate of the cable trough to the bottom of the cable trough. Coil the redundant part of the
optical fibers on the fiber spool if the optical fibers are too long.
Step 3 Route the optical fibers to the top of the cable trough, and then to the optical ports on interface
boards.
Step 4 Route the end with one LC/PC optical connector (the end marked C in the figure) upwards to
one side of the cabinet, and use binding tapes to bind the optical fiber to the wire bushing.
Step 5 Route the optical fibers into the cabinet according to the requirements specified in 8.2 Principles
of Installing Signal Cables and engineering requirements, and use binding tapes to bind the
optical fibers to the wire bushing.
Step 6 Connect the optical fibers (the end with two LC/PC optical connectors) to the optical ports, as
shown in Figure 8-30.
