Safety Specifications
Electrical Safety
Electric Shock:
Never install or uninstall power cables while they are live because
when touched with a conductor may produce sparks, resulting in
fire or damage to eyes.
Do shut off power supply before connecting or disconnecting a

power cable.
Before connecting a cable, make sure that the cable and its label
meet the actual installation requirements.
Warning:
It is not allowed to drill cabinet holes without permission. Unqual-
ified drilling could damage wiring inside the cabinet. Additionally,
the metal pieces inside the cabinet created by drilling could result
in a shorted circuit board.
Antistatic
Electrostatic:
Static electricity produced by human body can damage static-sen-
sitive components on circuit board, such as large-scale integrated
circuits.
Friction caused by human body activities is the root cause of elec-

trostatic charge accumulation. Static voltage carried by a human
body in a dry environment can be up to 30 kV, and can remain in
there for a long time. An operator with static electricity may dis-
charge electricity through a component when he/she touches the
conductor and causing damage.
Wear an antistatic wrist strap (the other end of wrist strap must be
well grounded) before touching the equipment or holding a plug-in
board, circuit board, Integrated Circuit (IC) chip or other devices,
to prevent human static electricity from damaging sensitive com-
ponents.

Laser
Laser:
Avoid looking straight at the laser beam from the outlet of the
optical transceiver or inside the optical fiber to avoid eye damage.
High Temperature
Danger:
Avoid touching the surface area of some devices due to high tem-
perature to avoid a scald injury.
Fans
Warning:
Do not put fingers or any tools in the running fan to avoid an injury.
Keep tools away from the running fan.
Sticking finger inside a running fan may cause hurt.

Put parts, screws, and tools away from the fan when replacing
related parts, to avoid damage to the fan or related devices.
Keep fingers and board away from the fan when replacing devices
around the fan, to avoid damage to the equipment or fingers.
Hoisting Heavy
Objects
Warning:
Do not walk or stay under the hoisted objects during hoisting op-
erations.
Ensure a proper hoisting capability of the hoister when disas-

sembling heavy equipment moving, and replacing equipment.
The operator must receive the training and qualification for
hoisting operations. Inspect and complete the hoisting tools
before getting into service.
Make sure to fix the hoisting tools firmly on a sufficiently se-
cured object or wall before the hoisting operation.
Use brief oral instructions during the hoisting operations to pre-
vent mistaken operation.
Plugging/Unplug- The modules mentioned in this document include front board, rear
ging Modules board, and fan module.

Chapter 1 Safety Instruction
Caution:
Avoid inserting a module forcibly. Otherwise, the pin on the
backplane may bent.
Align the module with the guide rail and push it gently to the
backplane. Plug the module properly into the slot to prevent
short circuit due to contact between the module and the circuit
surface.
Avoid touching the circuits, components, connectors, and cable
troughs when holding a module.
RF module turns hot when running. Avoid being scalded when
plugging and unplugging an RF module.
Personnel
Caution:
Do not conduct internal maintenance or equipment debugging
without prior permission.
Replacing parts or changing equipment may incur extra danger,

therefore, do not replace parts or change the equipment without
prior permission. To ensure safety, please contact ZTE in case of
any problem.

Chapter 2 Overview
Precautions
Perform the following precautionary steps during routine mainte-
nance.
Maintain normal temperature and humidity in the equipment
room. Keep the equipment room environment clean and tidy
and free from dust and dampness. Prevent rodents from en-
tering the equipment room and cabinets.
Make sure that the primary power supply is stable and reliable.
Check the system groundings and lightning protection ground-
ings periodically. Check and ensure good condition of lightning
protection system before and after the thunderstorms.
Standardize the daily work of maintenance personnel:
Maintain a detailed attendants log to provide records about
system operation, version, data change, upgrading and
troubleshooting. It facilitates analysis and troubleshooting
after fault detection.
Keep a record of work shifts and specify the responsibility
clearly.
Install anti-virus software at each client. Do not disable the
real-time detection function. Update the virus library periodi-
cally. Do not use unauthorized disks or CDs. Do not install and
run software unrelated to maintenance work.
Only one user can have the super administrator right. The
super administrator sets different Network Management pass-
words for different access rights. The rights of login into server
and client should be graded. Passwords should be managed
strictly and changed periodically.
Maintenance personnel should be well trained and should have
adequate equipment and network knowledge. Wear an anti-
static wrist strap before touching any equipment hardware to
avoid accidents.
Do not plug/unplug, reset, or change over boards casually.
Backup data before doing any data modification, and make
records of data modifications. Do not delete backup data until
the equipment has run properly for a period of time (usually a
week) after data modification. Even if there is no data modifi-
cation, backup the database periodically, and restore the data
in time for emergency requirement. Databases, especially the
performance measurement and alarm database, should be ob-
served on a regular basis to check whether the automatic dump
function is normal in order to avoid the error of disk overflow.
Do not run the signaling trace during busy-traffic hours, espe-
cially at daytime. The signaling trace can be performed only
during low-traffic hours with the permission of local ZTE office.
Keep common tools and instruments available in the equip-
ment room. Such tools and instruments include flathead
screwdriver and cross screwdriver, signaling tester, network
cable pliers, multimeter, AC power supply, telephone line,
network cable, antistatic wrist strap, insulating tape, and com-
mon toolkit. Check and ensure the precision of instruments
and tools periodically.

Check spare parts periodically to maintain accurate inventory

of frequently used spare parts to ensure their working condi-
tions. Ensure that the inventory contents are unaffected by
moisture or mould. Keep spare parts and the replaced faulty
parts in antistatic bags separately and label them appropriately
for identification purposes.
Keep maintenance software and documents at designated po-
sition, to ensure that they are available when necessary
Make sure that lighting in the equipment room is bright
Remove any detected faults as soon as possible. For faults that
can not be resolved, contact the local ZTE office, and record
the troubleshooting procedure in details.
Put the contact information of the local ZTE office in a notice-
able place, and notify it to all maintenance personnel so that
ZTE can be contacted when there is a need. Update the con-
tact information as soon as possible if there is any change.
