and construction.
l The number of installation engineers should be based on the specific engineering schedule
and the installation environment. In general, arrange for three to five installation engineers.
Check the equipment room structure with regard to the following aspects:
l The minimum height of the equipment room refers to the net height below the beam or the
ventilation pipe. The height must not be less than 3 m (9.84 ft).
l The floor of the equipment room must be semi-conductive and dust-proof. An antistatic
movable floor is recommended. Pave the movable floor tightly and solidly. The horizontal
tolerance of each square meter must be less than 2 mm (0.08 in.). If the movable floor is
not available, use the static electricity conductive floor material, with the volume resistivity
ranging from 1.0 x 107 ohm-m to 1.0 x 1010 ohm-m. The static electricity conductive floor
material or the movable floor must be grounded for conducting the static electricity. You
can connect the floor material or the movable floor to the grounding unit by using the current
limiting resistor and the connection line. The resistance of the current limiting resistor is 1
megohm.
l The door and windows must be installed with dust-proof plastic sealing tapes. It is
recommended to install the windows with double-layer glass and seal them strictly.
l The wall must be processed by using wallpaper or flat paint. Do not use pulverized paint.
l Cables must be laid along grooves. The inner side of the grooves must be smooth. The
reserved length and width of the grooves, and the number, position and dimensions of the
holes must comply with the requirements for installing the device.
l It is recommended not to lay water supply pipes, drainpipes or storm sewers across the
equipment room. Do not install the fire hydrant inside the equipment room. Install the fire
hydrant in the corridor or near the staircase where convenient access is possible.
l The air conditioner is installed in a proper position where the air does not blow directly at
the device.
Check the equipment room conditions with regard to the following aspects:
l The illumination of the equipment room must meet the requirements for device
maintenance. Ensure that the following three illumination systems are available: routine
illumination, standby illumination, and emergency illumination.
l The design of the water supply and drainage systems must meet the requirements of
common water consumption, and must comply with the fire control regulations.
l The air-conditioning system must meet the temperature and humidity requirements for
proper device running.
l The fire control facilities in the equipment room must be intact and should function
normally.
l The earthquake-resistance level of the equipment room must meet relative requirements.
The floor of the equipment room must be solid, so that the cabinets can be installed firmly.
NOTE
l If only one protection grounding bar is provided in the equipment room, the protection grounding
cable and working grounding cable of the communication power device must be connected to
this grounding bar.
l If two grounding bars are provided in the equipment room, namely, a protection grounding bar
and a working grounding bar, the protection grounding cable and working grounding cable of
the communication power device must be connected to the corresponding grounding bar. The
protection grounding bar and working grounding bar must share one set of grounding body.
l Ensure that the maintenance and monitoring room is neat and clean. It should not be piled
with sundries.
l Use an ESD PC workbench. Install the PC workbench in a correct position. The same should
comply with the plan view of the equipment room.
l The maintenance terminal and the accessory devices must be correctly identified and be
intact. The installation positions of these devices must comply with the design
requirements.
Procedure
Step 1 Unload the products.
CAUTION
When unloading the products, place the package containers in order. Make sure that the product
labels on the package containers are in the same direction. This facilitates the checking.
Step 2 After unloading the products, check whether the total number of the products are the same as
the number indicated on the Packing List. Check whether the destination of delivery is the same
as the actual site for installation.
Condition Action
Step 3 The engineering supervisor must send the Cargo Inspection Feedback Form that is confirmed
and signed by the customer to the order management engineer in the local Huawei representative
office within three days. At the same time, stop unpacking the products.
Step 4 Check whether the exterior of the package container is intact. Check whether the package
container is placed correctly during transportation.
Condition Action
Step 5 Stop unpacking the products, trace the cause, report the problem to the order management
engineer of the local Huawei representative office, and wait for further assistance.
CAUTION
To protect the device and trace the cause, transfer the unpacked device indoors to ensure proper
storage. Take photographs of the storage site, the device that is rusted or corroded, the related
package container, and the package materials. Collect the photos and file them. Preserve the
package container and package materials that are unpacked.

Procedure
Step 1 Read the carton label carefully to know the types and quantities of the boards in the carton.
Step 2 Use diagonal pliers to cut the packing straps.
Step 3 Use a paper knife to cut the tapes along the seams of the carton cover. Do not insert the paper
knife to extra depths; otherwise, the contents inside the carton may get damaged.
Step 4 Open the carton and take out the foam plates.
Step 5 Check the label of the box that contains the board, and see whether the board quantity is consistent
with the quantity indicated on the carton label. Then, take out the boxes.
Step 6 Wear an ESD wrist strap and ground it correctly. Unpack the ESD bag that contains the board.
Check whether the board has any obvious damages.
Step 7 Check the types and quantity of the boards in the carton according to the Packing List. The
Packing List must be confirmed and signed on site by the customer.
Figure 2-1 shows the procedure for unpacking the carton.
CAUTION
Do not throw away a carton that still contains boards. It is recommended that one person unpacks
one carton. After unpacking a carton, check it carefully and make sure that it is empty before
unpacking the next carton.
----End
Check pins on the backplane of the chassis. The pins should be kept straight, orderly, and clean.
For the pins bent in the board slots on the backplane, repair them.
The boards are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). When handling boards, observe the
following rules:
l Ensure good contact of the metal tab of the wrist strap with your bare skin. Insert the other
end of the wrist strap into the grounding point on the device.
l Ensure that the wrist strap works in the normal state. Its resistance value must be between
0.75 megohm and 10 megohm. If the service life (usually two years) of the wrist strap
expires or the resistance value fails to meet requirements, replace it with another one.
l Avoid touching the board with your clothes, because the touch generates static electricity
that is beyond the protection scope of the wrist strap.
l Wear antistatic gloves and place the board on an antistatic pad when replacing the chip of
the board. Use antistatic tweezers or extraction tools to replace chips. Do not tough chips,
circuits, or pins with your bare hands.
l Keep the board and other ESD sensitive parts to be installed in antistatic bags. Place the
removed boards and components on an antistatic pad or other antistatic materials. Do not
use non-antistatic materials such as white foams, common plastic bags, or paper bags to
pack boards or let them touch boards.
l Wear an antistatic wrist strap when operating the ports of boards because they are also
ESD-sensitive. Discharge the static electricity of cables and protective sleeves before
connecting them to the ports.
l It is recommended that you reserve some materials that can hold boards such as vacuum
formed boxes and antistatic bags in the equipment room for later use.

must be in contact with the edge of the RJ45. The distance between them must be less than
0.5 mm (0.02 in.).
Procedure
Step 1 Hold the crimped connector, with the front side facing you, and check whether the contact strips
are of the same height. The height should be 6.02 0.13 mm (0.237 0.005). If a measuring
tool is not available, you can compare the connector with a standard connector. Figure 3-58
shows an unqualified piece, and Figure 3-59 shows a qualified piece.
NOTE
Step 2 Hold an RJ45 connector and turn it 45. Observe the top edges of the metal contact strips. Figure
3-60 shows an unqualified piece.
Step 3 Check whether the contact strips are clean. If they are not clean and the dirt cannot be removed,
replace it with a new RJ45 connector. Figure 3-61 shows an unqualified piece.
Step 4 Check whether the contact strips and the plastic separators are well aligned and intact. If a
separator is skew and cannot be fixed, replace it with a new RJ45 connector. Figure 3-62 shows
an unqualified piece.
Step 5 Hold the connector with the side facing towards you, and check whether you can see the cross-
sections of the wires. Ensure that the ends of the wires are in good contact with the edge of the
RJ45, and that the contact strip blade extends beyond the ends of the wires and is crimped with
the wires. If not, replace the connector. Figure 3-63 shows an unqualified piece.

Procedure
Step 1 Feed both connectors of the cable into the ports of the cable tester.
Step 2 After the connectors are properly inserted, turn on the tester. If the indicators from 1 to G turn
on simultaneously, you can infer that the pins work normally and the wires are correctly
connected.
NOTE
Turn the switch to the S position and check whether the indicators turn on simultaneously, as shown in
Figure 3-65.
Step 3 Gently shake the connector and repeat Step 2 to check whether the metal contact strips are in
good contact with the core wires and Ethernet ports, as shown in Figure 3-66.
The procedure for testing a crossover cable is the same as that for testing a straight-through cable
except for the sequence in which the indicators turn on. You need to refer to the wire connections
of a crossover cable.
The Ethernet cable is qualified if the indicators turn on in the following sequence:
At the master (left) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 1-8-G. At the
slave (right) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 3-6-1-4-5-2-7-8-G.
Otherwise, the Ethernet cable is unqualified.
NOTE
If a tester is not available, you can use a multimeter to perform a simple test, as shown in Figure 3-67.

This section gives an overview of engineering labels and describes the engineering labels for
optical fibers, Ethernet cables, and power cables.
An engineering label serves as an identifier for on-site installation and maintenance after the
installation. Labels on the cables facilitate correct and orderly connection of cables, and easy
maintenance after installation.
Specialized for power cables and signal cables, the types of engineering labels are as follows:
l The signal cables include network cables, optical fibers, trunk cables, and user cables
(excluding antenna feeders).
l The power cables include the AC power cables and DC power cables (excluding the power
bus cable).
NOTE
Fill in the label according to the user's requirements if the user needs an integrated description of the label.
Make a relevant statement in the self-check report.
To specify more clearly the position of a cable, use the dividing lines on the label. For example,
there is a dividing line between the cabinet number and the chassis number, and another one
between the chassis number and the slot number. The dividing line is 1.5 mm x 0.6 mm (0.06
in. x 0.02 in.) with the color of Pantone 656c (light blue).
The cut dotted line helps to fold the label when affixed to the cable, and its size is 1 mm x 2 mm
(0.04 in. x 0.08 in.).
There is a mark "TO:" (upside down in the figure) at the lower right corner of the label. The
mark is used to identify the opposite end of the cable on which the label is affixed.
in. x 0.02 in.) around (symmetric on both sides), and the area in the middle is for affixing the
label, as shown in Figure D-2.
The templates are made in Microsoft Word and the following requirements should be met:
l When using the template, you can directly modify the contents of the template. 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
that the printouts are clear and legible.
If the warning prompt as shown in Figure D-3 appears before printing, click Ignore to continue the
printing.
After the page setup has been made correctly, save it for future use. This page setup is only
necessary the first time you use the template to print the labels.
NOTE
The delivered marker has two nibs. Make sure to use the smaller nib to write the labels.
Font
For the sake of easy recognition and good appearance, the font in handwriting should be as close
to a standard typeface (such as Times New Roman) as possible. Table D-1 shows the standard
typeface.
9 A B C D E F G H
I J K L M N O P Q
R S T U V W X Y Z
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. In other words, the local information at one end is called the opposite
information at the other end.
These labels are affixed to the optical fibers that connect the optical interfaces on the boards in
a chassis, or on the device boxes. There are two types of labels for optical cables:
l One is for the fiber that connects the optical interfaces on two devices.
l The other is for the fiber that connects the device and the ODF.

The labels for DC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties.
For details of the labels, see Table D-8.
Content Meaning
The label only carries location information about the destination direction of the power cable
while information of the local end is not necessary. That is, the label only carries location
information about the opposite equipment, the control cabinet, or the distribution box. Table
D-8 lists the information on two -48 V power supplies on the label. The information on other
DC voltages, such as 24 V and 60 V should be given in similar methods.
Make sure that labels are affixed in the correction 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. For details, see Figure D-15.
NOTE
In the power distribution box or the first power cabinet of a row in a transmission equipment room, every
terminal block on the -48 V 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.
PGND and BGND are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are short-circuited,
therefore which terminal is connected makes no difference. It is only necessary to give the row
and column of the power distribution box, 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 box on Row A, Column 01 in the machine room. Information on the labels for PGND
cables should be given in a similar way.
MN-(B)-ACn MN: serial number of the cabinet or the socket where the power is led in
B: chassis number, numbered in the bottom-top order with two digits, for
example, 01.
n: power port number, numbered as 1 to 3 in bottom-top and left-to-right
order.
Serial number of the socket where the power is led in: the location of the
socket is marked according to the actual situation. If the sockets can be
identified by row numbers and column numbers, they can be numbered
following the same rule for the cabinets. If the sockets cannot be identified
by rows and columns, specify the detailed locations to avoid confusion
with other sockets.
The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment and the power socket;
information about the local end is not necessary.
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 D-16.

NOTE
POWER-A and POWER-B supply power to a device in 1+1 backup mode. If a DC power distribution box
(02120400) is used to supply power to devices, the box is connected to a PDF through cables A1, A2, B1,
and B2, and to the devices through cables a1, a2, a3, a4, b1, b2, b3, and b4. By default, the power distribution
box (02120400) supports the use of eight output circuit breakers (4x32A+4x32A).
The following tables provide the specifications of the input circuit breakers on the power
distribution box and cables connected to the power distribution box.

A1, A2, B1, and B2 63A To meet the requirement of hierarchical protection in
circuit breakers or power distribution for the NE40E-X1 or NE40E-X2, it is
fuses recommended that the specifications of the circuit
breakers or fuses on the PDF should not be smaller than
the total current on the power distribution box. The
specification higher than 63 A is recommended. You can
set the value to an integer greater than 63 based on actual
