Figure 4-1 Connections of the power cables and PGND cables

NOTE

The PGND cables of the cabinet should be connected to the nearest ground bar. When the PDF is far away 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 nearest ground bar co-grounded with the PDF rather than connect the PGND cable directly to the PDF. In this case, the methods of installing and routing the PGND cables are the same as those of connecting the PGND cables directly to the PDF. In practice, the PGND cables of the cabinet must be connected on the basis of the requirements of the customer.

4.3 Principles of Installing the Power Cables and PGND Cables


This section describes the principles of installing the power cables and PGND cables. When installing the power cables and PGND cables, you should follow the routing and binding principles.

Cable Routing Requirements


l l The layout of power cables and PGND cables should facilitate future capacity expansion. The power cables and PGND cables must be separated from the other cables. When the power cables and the PGND cables are laid parallel to signal cables, the spacing between them must be at least 30 mm. Ensure that the bending radius is five times longer than the diameter of the cable. In underfloor cabling mode, a surplus length of power cable must be reserved outside the cable inlet of the power distribution box on the top of the cabinet. This facilitates the installation of the terminal. In addition, the cables must be laid flat on the top of the cabinet. When connecting power cables to the terminals of the power distribution box, lay the cables straight and smoothly.

Cable Binding Requirements


l l l l l The power cables and PGND cables must be separated from the signal cables. The spacing between the cable ties should be 200 mm. If the underfloor cabling mode is used, the power cables and PGND cables should be routed along the middle column on the right of the cabinet front. The selection of cable ties (150 mm/300 mm) depends on the diameter and quantity of cables. The cable ties are bound in the same direction. The extra length of the cable ties are cut and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.

6 Installing Boards and Setting Board DIP Switches


NOTE

BSC6900 GSM Installation Guide

l All DIP switches are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is combined with the bottom plate, so the DIP switches are not exposed. l DIP switches S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10 are set from the side. As shown in Figure 6-4, there are two square holes between DIP switches, one between S2 and S4, and the other between S8 and S6. Through the two holes, you can set S2, S4, S8, and S6. DIP switch S10 is located in the right corner of the subboard, and thus you can set S10 along the side. The direction of the arrow in Figure 6-4 is to turn inwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, or S8 to ON, turn them inwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, or S8 to OFF, turn them outwards. To set the bits of S10 to ON, turn them outwards. To set the bits of S10 to OFF, turn them inwards. l You can also run the SET E1T1 command on the LMT to set S10. If there is any inconsistency between the physical setting of S10 on the PEUa board and the setting of S10 by command, take the setting by command as the criterion. By default, the working mode of S10 is set to E1. You can also run the SET E1T1 command on the LMT to change the working mode of S10 from E1 mode to E1 balanced mode, E1 unbalanced mode, or T1 mode. When you run the SET E1T1 command to set the support for balanced and unbalanced modes parameter to No and set the working mode of S10 to E1, you must also manually set the bits of S10 to set the working mode of S10 to E1 balanced mode or E1 unbalanced mode. l If signals are transmitted in E1 unbalanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 75-ohm coaxial cable and the TX end of the cable is grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to ON. If signals are transmitted in E1(T1) balanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 120-ohm twisted pair cable and the TX end of the cable is not grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to OFF.

DIP switches S2, S4, S6, and S8 on the PEUa board are used to enable or disable the grounding of 0 to 31 E1s/T1s/J1s at the TX end. DIP switch S10 is used to set the working mode to E1 balanced mode, E1 unbalanced mode, T1 mode, or J1 mode. Table 6-4 describes the DIP switches on the PEUa board.

If the connectors of the signal cables are made before delivery, you should pack the connectors with soft and durable materials such as a packing bag during cabling. Protect the jackets of the signal cables from being damaged during the routing. When coiling the extra length of optical cables on the fiber management tray, apply proper force to avoid damaging the optical. The actual installation positions must meet the requirements of site survey and data configuration. When installing the signal cables, you should route the extra length of the interconnection cables on both sides of the cabinet according to the requirement for the bending radius of the cables.

BSC6900 GSM Installation Guide

The related operation guide is intended for only the installation method. The actual installation position of cables should meet the requirements of site survey and should be consistent with the data configuration scheme.

Minimum Bending Radius


The bending radius of the signal cable meets the requirements of all types of cables. Table 7-2 lists the bending radius of the signal cables. Table 7-2 Bending radius of the signal cables Wire BITS clock signal cable Y-shaped clock cable Ethernet cable Optical cable SFP+ high-speed cable E1/T1 cable Inter-TNUa cable EMU RS485 Communication Cable OMUa serial port cable Alarm box signal cable Bending Radius Not less than 45mm Not less than 25 mm Not less than 25 mm Not less than 40mm Not less than 25 mm Not less than 40mm Not less than 35mm Not less than 25 mm Not less than 25 mm Not less than 25 mm

Principles of Routing the Signal Cables


To facilitate maintenance and capacity expansion, follow these principles when routing cables. The layout sequence in overhead and underfloor cabling modes must be the same. l The cables can be routed either on the front side first or on the rear side first. The cables meant for the front of the cabinet must be laid only in the front side of the cabinet. Follow the same principle for the cables meant for the rear of the cabinet. When routing cables at the front side of the cabinet, ensure that the Ethernet cables and clock signal cables are separated from the inter-TNUa cables. The inter-TNUa cables should be routed to the left. The Ethernet cables and clock signal cables should be routed to the right. You should route the Ethernet cables before routing clock signal cables. For the routing sequence of other signal cables, there is no special requirement. While routing the cables at the back of the cabinet, you should route the E1/T1 cables before routing the optical cables.

Requirements of Routing the Signal Cables


The requirements for routing signal cables are as follows:

l l l

Protect the jackets of the signal cables from being damaged during the routing. Hold the connector when plugging out the signal cables to protect the signal cable from damage. When installing the signal cables, you should route the extra length of the interconnection cables on both sides of the cabinet according to the requirement for the bending radius of the cables. For combined cabinets, the extra signal cable in front of the cabinet should be routed along the cable ladder or at one side of the cabinet. It should not be placed in the gap between the combined cabinets. The signal cables must be separated from the power cables. The bending radius of the signal cable satisfies the requirements of all kinds of cables. Table 7-2 lists the bending radius of the signal cables. Extra length of the signal cable should be reserved near the connector. The signal cables must be neatly laid in the rack, according to the engineering design. If the height difference between the cable tray and the top of the cabinet exceeds 800 mm, a vertical cable ladder must be used. The signal cables and the lower part of the downward cable ladder must be bound together. The routing should be in accordance with the engineering design. The cabling is clear, proper, and smooth at the bends. The cables are laid in parallel. The signal cables layout facilitates maintenance and future expansion.

l l l l l

l l l

Requirements of Binding the Signal Cables


The requirements of binding the signal cables are as follows: l l l The signal cables and power cables must be bound separately. The spacing between cable ties must be at least 150 mm. The twine for binding the cables must be coated with wax. The signal cables must be bound at the entrance and exit of the cable trough and at the turning points, as shown in Figure 7-1. Figure 7-1 Bending and binding signal cables

l The types of interface boards, installation positions of cables, and number of cables shown in Figure 11-11 are taken as examples. The actual configurations depend on the site planning. l Among the multiple TCSs configured in the BSC6900 cabinet, one TCS is responsible for forwarding the OM signals from other TCSs, and this TCS is referred to as the main TCS. In Figure 11-11, the lowest TCS serves as the main subrack. In practice, any TCS can serve as the main subrack, and the SCUa board in the main TCS is connected to the SCUa boards in other TCSs in star topology.
