l Check the thickness of the concrete floor before drilling holes and note that penetrating the concrete
floor is forbidden. If the concrete floor is not thick enough to hold the expansion bolt assemblies,
exchange the expansion bolt assemblies for the proper type.
l Take measures to protect the electronic equipment from dust before drilling holes, for example, cover
the electronic equipment with dustproof cover.
l Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust during the drilling. Before removing the dustproof cover from
the electronic equipment, you should clean up the pieces of concrete that have accumulated during the
drilling.
l You must wear safety goggles during the drilling to protect your eyes from the dust.
1. Install the 16 bit and fix the scaleplate on the hammer drill to ensure that the drilling depth
ranges from 85 mm to 90 mm.
NOTE
The drilling depth must not be less than 85 mm or more than 90 mm. Otherwise, the expansion bolt
assembly cannot be properly installed and fastened.
2. Align the drill bit upright to the drilling position. Use both hands to hold the drill stock
firmly, and drill a hole. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust during the drilling.
NOTE
If the ground is too hard or slippery to position the drill bit stably, use a chisel to dig a pit before
drilling holes. If a reinforcing steel bar is found where the hole is drilled, stop using the hole and drill
another one a little inward along the diagonal.
3. Remove the dust in the hole, measure the depth of the hole, and check whether the hole is
slanting. If the depth of the hole is not appropriate or if the hole is slanting, re-drill the hole.
If the slanting hole cannot be corrected, stop using the hole.
4. Replace the 16 bit with the 18 bit, and then drill the hole until its diameter meets the
requirement.
NOTE
If the slanting hole cannot be corrected, stop using the hole and drill another one.
Step 4 Install the expansion bolt assemblies. Figure 5-4 shows how to install the expansion bolt
assembly.

7.2 Power and PGND Cable Connections

The following power cables and PGND cables should be installed on site: power cables and
PGND cables between the power distribution box and the PDF, and the PGND cables between
the cabinets.
Figure 7-7 shows the connections of the power cables and PGND cables.

Figure 7-7 Connections of the power cables and PGND cables
NOTE
l Each cabinet must be configured with nine cables: four -48 V power cables, four RTN power cables,
and one PGND cable. Here, the four -48 V power cables and four RTN power cables are connected to
the rear panel of the power distribution box; the PGND cable is connected to the ground bolt (labeled
) at the rear top of the cabinet.

l The rear panel of the power distribution box is connected to the PDF through the external power cables
and is connected to the subracks through the internal power cables. For details of the power distribution,
see Distribution of Power Switches on the Power Distribution Box.
l It is recommended that the PGND cable of the cabinet be connected to the closest ground bar. When
the PDF is far from the cabinet, for example, the PDF is not in the same equipment room as the cabinet,
you should connect the PGND cable for the cabinet to the closest ground bar co-grounded with the
PDF rather than connect the PGND cable directly to the PDF.
CAUTION
Ensure that the 1 (-) and 1 (+) input terminals in areas A and B of the power distribution box are
connected to the 63 A output terminal of the PDF. Ensure that the 3 (-) and 3 (+) input terminals
in areas A and B are connected to the 100 A output terminal of the PDF. You must avoid
misconnections, which may affect the power requirements.
7.3 Principles of Routing and Binding the Power Cables and

PGND Cables
When installing the power cables and PGND cables, you should follow the routing and binding
principles.
Routing Principles
l Before routing the power cables and PGND cables, you should wrap the connectors with
PVC insulation tape to prevent the connectors from contacting the wiring terminals of the
PDF.
l The layout of power cables and PGND cables should facilitate future expansion.

l The power cables and PGND cables should be routed separately from the signal cables.
l When power cables or PGND cables are laid parallel to signal cables, you should leave at
least 10 mm between the power cables (or PGND cables) and the signal cables inside the
cabinet and at least 100 mm outside the cabinet.
l When bending the power cables and PGND cables, you should ensure that the bending
radius is five times longer than the diameter of the cable.
l When adopting the underfloor cabling mode, you should reserve extra length of the power
cables at the cable inlet of the power distribution box on top of the cabinet. The purpose is
to facilitate plugging in and pulling out the cables. In addition, the cables must be laid neatly
at the top of the cabinet.
l When connecting power cables to the wiring terminals of the power distribution box, you
should route them in a straight manner and ensure that the cables are curved smoothly at
the bend, without crossing.
Binding Principles
l The power cables and PGND cables are bound separately from the signal cables.
l The space between the cable ties should be 200 mm.
l The types (100 mm, 150 mm, 300 mm, and 295 mm) of cable ties should be determined
on the basis of the number of cables.
l The cable ties should face the same direction.
l After binding the cables tightly, you should cut off the surplus part of each cable tie
completely for indoor cable ties and leave 3 mm to 5 mm for outdoor cable ties. The tails
of the cable ties should be trimmed.
7.4 Installing the Power Cables and PGND Cables Between

the N68E-21-N Cabinet and the PDF
There are two methods of installing the power cables and PGND cables between the N68E-21-
N cabinet and the PDF: overhead cabling and underfloor cabling. Select one of them as required.
7.4.1 Overhead and Underfloor Cabling Modes

According to the conditions of the equipment room, the cables can be led into the cabinet in
either overhead cabling mode or underfloor cabling mode.
External cables can be led into the cabinet through either the upper cable hole or the lower cable
hole. Each corner at the top and bottom of the cabinet provides a rectangular cable hole, as shown
in Figure 7-8.

Figure 7-8 Cable holes of the cabinet
If the cable hole is covered with a rodent-proof cover, you need to remove the cover before the
cabling. Then, lead the cables through the cable hole and bind the cables. Place the rodent-proof
cover on the cable hole, and mark the area to be cut based on the cross section of the bound
cables. Then, use scissors to cut the area. Finally, reinstall the rodent-proof cover. Ensure that
the bound cables fit in well with the cover, that is, the cables fully occupy the hole and no side
clearance is left.
Overhead Cabling Mode

In overhead cabling mode, the cables are led out of the cabinet through the cable hole at the top
of the cabinet or through other paths upward, as shown in Figure 7-9. The cables for the related
devices in the cabinet are led out of the cabinet along the side of the cabinet. The overhead
cabling mode is suitable for equipment rooms with concrete floors.

Figure 7-9 Overhead cabling mode
Underfloor Cabling Mode

In underfloor cabling mode, the cables are led out of the cabinet through the cable hole at the
bottom of the cabinet or through other paths downward, as shown in Figure 7-10. The underfloor
cabling mode is suitable for equipment rooms with ESD floors. When the underfloor cabling
mode is used, ensure that the height of the piled cables does not exceed 3/4 of the height of the
space under the ESD floor.

7.6 Checking the Power-on Status

This section describes how to check the power supply to the cabinet. It also describes how to
ensure that the power supply to the subracks and the power supply to the fan boxes and boards
in the subracks are normal.
Prerequisites
l The power cables and PGND cables are installed between the cabinet and the PDF.
l The power cables and PGND cables are installed in the cabinet.
l The subracks, fan boxes, and boards are installed in the cabinet.
l The tools required for the installation are available. The required tool is the multimeter.
Context
The cabinet uses the DC power supply. Technical Specifications of the Power Distribution Box
lists the specifications for the input power of the cabinet.
CAUTION
Correctly wear the ESD wrist strap. Ensure that the ESD wrist strap is properly connected to the
ESD connector on the cabinet.
Procedure
Step 1 Set the corresponding output switches on the PDF to OFF and all the output switches on the
power distribution box of the cabinet to OFF.
Step 2 Set the multimeter to the resistance scale and then measure the resistance at the power output
terminal for the PDF and at the input and output terminals for the power distribution box of the
cabinet. Ensure that there is no short-circuit between the -48V working power and the RTN
working ground. Ensure that there is no short-circuit between the -48V working power and the
PGND protection ground.
Step 3 Set the corresponding output switches on the PDF to ON and all the output switches on the power
distribution box of the cabinet to OFF.
Then, the power distribution box enters the self-check state. (The RUN and ALM LEDs on the
power distribution box are on at the same time and the buzzer sounds.) When the self-check is
complete, the power distribution box requests for registration at the SCUa board (the RUN LED
on the power distribution box blinks at 2 Hz) until the registration is successful (the RUN LED
blinks at 0.5 Hz). For the description about the status of LEDs on the power distribution box,
see LEDs on the Power Distribution Box.
Step 4 Set the multimeter to the voltage scale. Ensure that the output voltage of the PDF and the input
voltage of the power distribution box range from -40 V to -57 V.
Step 5 On a per subrack basis, 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 voltage
of the power distribution box ranges from -40 V to -57 V. Check whether the fan box in the
subrack can be normally started and whether the power supply to the boards in the subrack is
normal.
l Normally, when the subrack is powered on, the STATUS LED on the panel of the fan box
blinks. In case of exceptions, immediately turn off the switches of the power distribution box
and PDF. Check whether the output voltage of the power distribution box is normal and
whether the power cables are installed properly. For the description about the status of LEDs
on the fan box, see LED on the Fan Box.
l Normally, when the subrack is powered on, the RUN LED on the panel of the board is ON
or blinks. If all the LEDs on a board are off, the board or the corresponding slot may be faulty.
Contact Huawei for technical support. For the description about the status of LEDs on the
board, see LEDs on the Boards.
l If the LEDs on all the boards in a subrack are off, immediately turn off the switches of the
power distribution box and PDF. Check whether the output voltage of the power distribution
box is normal and whether the power cables are installed properly.
Step 7 Repeat Step 5 and Step 6 to check the power supply to the three subracks in one cabinet.
Step 8 Repeat Step 1 through Step 7 to check the power supply to each cabinet.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
Record the check result in the corresponding table provided in Hardware Installation Record.
