The type of the cabinet in Figure 1-4 can be RFC, TMC11H, or IBBS200D. The installation clearance
requirements for the IBBS200T are the same as those shown in Figure 1-4. The plan view of the
IBBS200T, however, is different from that of other cabinets. Therefore, the installation clearance
requirements for the IBBS200T are not described.

1.4 Unpacking the Equipment


This chapter describes how to unpack and check the delivered equipment to ensure that all the
materials are included and intact.

Context

When transporting, moving, or installing the equipment, components, or parts, you must:
 The base stations need to be transported to the site before they are installed. Do not unpack them or
change the packages of them before transportation.
 Prevent them from colliding with doors, walls, shelves, or other objects.
 Wear clean gloves, and avoid touching the equipment, components, or parts with bare hands,
sweat-soaked gloves, or dirty gloves.
 Transportation of the base stations must comply with requirements of ETSI 300 019-1-2 class 2.3.
For the goods damage caused by non-standard and violent transportation or non-human factors (such
as natural disasters), the transportation entity should take the responsibility.

 After a cabinet or a BBU is unpacked, it must be powered on within 7 days.


 After an RRU is unpacked, it must be powered on within 24 hours.

Procedure
Step 1 Check the total number of articles in each case according to the packing list.

 To protect the equipment and prevent damage to the equipment, you are advised to keep
the unpacked equipment and packing materials indoors, take photos of the stocking
environment, packing case or carton, packing materials, and any rusted or eroded
equipment, and then file the photos.
 Verify that the insulation layers of all RRU cables are intact. If the insulation layers are
damaged or broken, water will penetrate into the cables, which may cause damages to
RRUs or human injury.

1. Use a hammer drill with bit 16 to drill holes at the anchor points and confirm that the
depth of each hole ranges from 55 mm (2.17 in.) to 60 mm (2.36 in.).

 Do not use the base as a positioning tool when drilling. Otherwise, the paint on the base
may be scratched.
 To prevent inhalation or eye contact with dust, take adequate preventive measures when
drilling holes.

2. Use a vacuum cleaner to clear the dust inside and around the holes. if the inter-hole
spacing is too wide or too narrow, locate and drill holes again.
3. Tighten the expansion bolts slightly and place one vertically into each hole.
4. Use a rubber mallet to hammer the expansion bolt until the expansion tube is buried into
the hole, and then tighten the bolt.
5. Remove the bolts, spring washers, and flat washers by turning them counterclockwise.

After dismantling an expansion bolt, ensure that the top of the expansion tube is on the same
level as the concrete floor. Otherwise, the cabinet cannot be installed on the concrete floor
evenly and securely.

Cable Installation Checklist


Table 1-25 describes the cable installation checklist.

Table 1-25 Cable installation checklist

No. Item
1 All cables are connected securely and reliably. Pay special attention to the
communication cable connections and cable connections at the bottom of the
cabinet.
2 The cables are neatly and tightly bound. The cable ties are evenly spaced and face
the same direction.
3 Different types of cable, such as the power cable, ground cable, feeder, optical
cable, E1/T1 cable, FE cable, and signal cable are separately bound.
4 The cable layout facilitates maintenance and future capacity expansion.
5 All the labels at both ends of the cables are legible.
6 The extra length of the indoor cable ties is cut, and the cut surfaces are smooth
without sharp edges. The extra length of 3 mm to 5 mm of the outdoor cable ties
is reserved when the cable ties are cut.
7 The idle port that no cable is connected to is properly protected. For example,
unused CPRI ports on BBU boards are protected using dust-proof caps.
8 The connectors of the RF cables are fixed in position to avoid false connection
that may cause an abnormal voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).

1.24 Performing the Power-On Check


Before the cabinets start functioning, you need to check the power-on status of the cabinets.

The base station must be powered on in seven days after installation.

Figure 1-237 shows the procedure of the regular power-on check on the Ver.B series cabinet.

 In the capacity expansion scenario with the new APM30H and IBBS200D/IBBS200T added, pay
special attention to the PMU/PSU, EPS, and CMUA in the added APM30H and the DCDU-01 and
RFU in the original RFC.
 In the capacity expansion scenario with the new RFC and IBBS200D added, pay special attention to
the PMU/PSU, PDU (corresponding to the EPS in the added APM30), and BBU in the original
APM30 and the DCDU-01 and RFU in the added RFC.
