The Requirements for Huawei Site Selection

l Sites must be free from dust, excessive heat, harmful gases, and explosive substances.
The power voltage at the site must be stable.

BTS3900C(Ver.C)
l Sites must be located at a place where earthquakes or strong noises are unlikely to occur.
l Sites must be far away from power stations, industrial boilers, and heating boilers.
l Sites must be far away from high-power radio transmitters, radar stations, or other
interference sources. The interference field strength cannot exceed the shielding
specifications of the base station for useless radiation.
l Sites must be far away pollution sources. If a site has to be constructed near a pollution
source, the site must be constructed in the upwind direction.
– Sites must be located at least 5 km (3.11 mi) away from heavy pollution sources,
such as a smelting plant or a coal mine.
– Sites must be located at least 3.7 km (2.30 mi) away from medium pollution sources
such as a chemical plant, a rubber plant, or an electroplating plant.
– Sites must be located at least 2 km (1.24 mi) away from light pollution sources such
as a food product factory or a leather product factory.
l Air intake vents of the communication equipment must be located far away from the
outlets of sewer pipes, septic tanks, or sewage disposal pools. Ensure that the equipment
is in positive pressure state and is free from corrosive gases. Otherwise, electronic
components and circuit boards may be corroded.
The Requirements for Indoor Site Selection

l The equipment room of an indoor site must be far away from a livestock house or a
fertilizer warehouse. If an equipment room has to be located near a livestock house or a
fertilizer warehouse, it must be located in the upwind direction.
l It is recommended that the equipment room of an indoor site be located in a floor higher
than the second. If this requirement cannot be met, the ground height of the equipment
room must be 600 mm (23.62 in.) higher than the maximum flood level in the local
history.
l The following recommendations are provided to optimize equipment rooms that are
sensitive to noise:
– Equipment is installed in places far from areas of human activity as much as
possible.
– Equipment rooms are not located adjacent to bedrooms of residents. If an
equipment room has to be adjacent to bedrooms of residents, the equipment room
and the bedrooms should be separated by at least two walls.
– The areas for installing equipment are 5 m (16.40 ft) or further away from doors
and windows.
– The front doors of cabinets are facing towards a direction that people rarely pass by.
– The thickness of the floor in an equipment room is greater than or equal to 150 mm
(5.91 in.).
– Rubber pads are placed under equipment to reduce noise and solid-borne sound.
– Sound-absorbing materials are stuck to appropriate positions on walls in the
equipment room to reduce noise.

interference.
NOTE
If a cable listed below is not required, skip the cabling requirements of the cable.
General Cabling Requirements

Bending radius requirements
l The bending radius of a 7/8'' feeder must be greater than 250 mm (9.84 in.), and the
bending radius of a 5/4'' feeder must be greater than 380 mm (14.96 in.).
l The bending radius of a 1/4'' jumper must be greater than 35 mm (1.38 in.). The bending
radius of a super-flexible 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 50 mm (1.97 in.), and the
bending radius of an ordinary 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 127 mm (5 in.).
l The bending radius of a power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times its
diameter.
l The bending radius of a fiber optic cable is at least 20 times of its diameter, and 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 diameter.
l The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.
Cable binding requirements

l Cables of the same type must be bound together.
l Different types of cables must be separately laid out 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 excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 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 requirements
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 or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.
Indoor cabling requirements

l Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

BTS3900C(Ver.C)
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 greater 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 Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.
Outdoor Cabling Requirements

l After being connected to a ground clip on power cables, a ground cable must be routed
downwards to prevent water from entering the equipment to which the power cables
connect.
l Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through
tubes.
l The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.
l When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put
the tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both
ends of the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the
base.
l When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.
l When routing RRU cables, ensure that the highest positions of the routes of all RRU
cables (except RF cables and AISG cables) are lower than the bottom of the RRU to
prevent water from entering the maintenance cavity of the RRU.
l Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the
installation guide delivered with the clip.
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), CPRI fiber optic cables 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 When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are
routed through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE
There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.
l A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables

Special Cabling Requirements

Cabling 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 Cables can only be laid out under well-planned instructions. The cabling activities of
fiber optic cables are allowed only when qualified personnel and communication
facilities are available.
l Do not circle and twist cables.

BTS3900C(Ver.C)
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
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.
l The external conductor 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 separately. A certain distance must be
reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
l Switches or fuses 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 laid out. If
transmission cables are laid out 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 lined up straight and bound neatly with cable ties.
l Sufficient slack is provided for E1 cables at turns.
l E1 cables must not be pressed by the door of the cabinet when routed, as shown in the
following figure.
Figure 9-4 E1 cables routed in the cabinet
Cabling of fiber optic cables

l At least three people are required for laying out fiber optic cables. The cabling activities
of fiber optic cables are allowed only when qualified personnel and communication
facilities are available.

BTS3900C(Ver.C)
l The operating temperature of fiber optic cables ranges from -40ºC to +60ºC (-40ºF to
+140ºF). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take protective measures or
select another route.
l Do not circle and twist cables.
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 excess of the fiber optic cables must be coiled
around special devices, such as a fiber coiler.
l An unarmored fiber optic cable must be bound using binding straps. If a fiber optic patch
cord needs to be secured in a cabinet or a piece of equipment, use binding straps to bind
it and then use cable ties to secure the binding straps to the cabinet or equipment. Ensure
that the fiber optic cables can flexibly move in the cable ties. Do not bend the fiber optic
cables sharply. The following figure shows how to bind the fiber optic cables correctly.
Figure 9-5 Binding fiber optic cables
l When coiling fiber optic cables, apply even strength. Do not bend the fiber optic cables
with force.
l Unused optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.

Failure Type Handling Measure
Failure in the power Check as follows:

supply to a board in the 1. Remove the board, and check whether any pin of the slot on
BBU the backplane is bent, broken, or missing. Replace the
subrack if necessary.
2. Insert the board into the subrack, and check the status of
indicators on the board.
3. If the indicators indicate an exception, remove the board,
insert it into a vacant slot holding the boards of the same
type, and check the status of the indicators.
– If the board works properly, the original slot is faulty. In
this case, replace the subrack.
– If the fault persists, the board is faulty. In this case,
replace the board.
Failure in the power Check as follows:

supply to other 1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block that
components in the connects power supply to the component is on. Skip this step
cabinet and go to step 2 if this component does not use any fuse
terminal block.
– If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the fuse
is faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according to the
instructions in Replacing a Fuse (EPU05A/DCDU) or
Replacing a Fuse (EPU03A/EPS).
– If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go to
step 2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the
component.
– If the input power is normal, replace the component.
– If the input power is abnormal, check whether the power
cable for the component is connected securely. If the
power cable is not securely connected, turn off the circuit
breaker for the component (if there is no circuit breaker
for the component, remove the connector from the power
unit) and reconnect the power cable. If the power cable is
securely connected, the protector (such as circuit breaker
or fuse) on the component may be damaged. In this case,
replace the damaged protector. If the protector cannot be
replaced, replace the upper-level power distribution
component.
