1.3 Requirements for Equipment Room Environment


This describes the effects of the equipment room environment on the running of the device. To maximize the functions of the device, minimize accidents, and ensure the long-term stable running of the device, operators must maintain a good environment in the equipment room. 1.3.1 Temperature This describes the basic requirements for temperature, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures. 1.3.2 Temperature Variation This describes the basic requirements for temperature variations, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures. 1.3.3 Relative Humidity This describes the basic requirements for the relative humidity, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures. 1.3.4 Air Cleanliness This describes the basic requirements for air cleanliness, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures. 1.3.5 Electromagnetic Radiation Resistance This describes the basic requirements for electromagnetic radiation resistance, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures. 1.3.6 Electrostatic Discharge Prevention This describes the basic requirements for electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures. 1.3.7 Lightning Protection Grounding This describes the basic requirements for lightning protection grounding, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures. 1.3.8 Mechanical Stress This describes the basic requirements for mechanical stress, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures.

1.3.1 Temperature
This describes the basic requirements for temperature, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures.

Basic Requirements
According to the network equipment building system (NEBS) standard, the indoor temperature must be within the range of 5C to 40C constantly. The indoor temperature for short-term working conditions ranges from 5C to +45C. Under short-term working conditions, the device cannot work continuously for over 48 hours, or the accumulated working duration each year cannot be more than 15 days.
Issue 02 (2008-12-25) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 1-3

1 Overview of Routine Maintenance


NOTE

HUAWEI GGSN9811 Gateway GPRS Support Node Routine Maintenance

The measurement points of the temperature must be 1.5 meters above the floor and 0.4 meter away from the front side of the device.

Effects on Device Running


Temperature is a key factor for the long-term and reliable running of the device. Extremely high or extremely low temperature may cause the following faults.
l

If the temperature is extremely high, the ions in the integrated circuits diffuse increasingly. The electrons move faster to multiply the penetrating current. This leads to the damage of circuits caused by thermal breakdown. If the temperature is extremely high, the resistance value and the electrolysis capacitance change. This alters circuit parameters and degrades the device performance. If the temperature is extremely high, the sockets, plugs, and switches are prone to poor contact with each other due to heat caused expansion and cold caused shrink. This may affect the stable running of the device. If the temperature is extremely high or extremely low, the master clock frequency of the crystal oscillator circuit changes. The change affects the synchronization between devices and leads to rise in the bit error rate and slippage rate. Extreme high temperature speeds up the aging process of insulating materials. Extreme low temperature makes insulating material fragile. Both reduce the lifespan of the device.

Measures
Mount a ventilator and a heat dissipation system to ensure that the indoor temperature meets the requirements.

1.3.2 Temperature Variation


This describes the basic requirements for temperature variations, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures.

Basic Requirements
Avoid the exquisite variation in the indoor temperature. Keep the temperature change during each hour within 5C.

Effects on Device Running


The change of the temperature affects the heat capacity of various parts of the device. The parts of the device differ in heat capacity and sensitivity to temperature changes due to different materials and volumes. If the heat capacity of a component is large, the effect of temperature changes is less. In addition, when the temperature changes drastically, different stresses are generated on different parts due to heat caused expansion and cold caused shrink. This damages the mechanical structure of the device and breaks circuit boards or other components.

Measures
Take appropriate measures to control the temperature. Regardless of the weather, the long-term temperature control must be set.

1.3.3 Relative Humidity


This describes the basic requirements for the relative humidity, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures.

Basic Requirements
Keep the indoor relative humidity within the range of 5% to 85% constantly. The indoor relative humidity for short-term working conditions ranges from 5% to 90%. Under short-term working conditions, the device cannot work continuously for over 48 hours, or the accumulated working duration each year cannot be more than 15 days.
NOTE

The measurement points of the humidity must be 1.5 meters above the floor and 0.4 meter away from the front side of the device.

Effects on Device Running


l

If the relative humidity is extremely high, a layer of water membrane is absorbed on the surface of the electronic parts. According to the research, when the relative humidity is higher than 85%, the thickness of the water membrane can be 0.001 m to 0.01 m. The water membrane conducts and affects the electrical performance of the integrated circuits. If the relative humidity is extremely high, the magneto-conductivity rate of the magnetic materials is affected, and the connecting pieces and leads are rusted, which causes loose contact or short circuit. If the relative humidity is extremely low, static electricity is generated due to the friction of running devices, antistatic floor, and operation staff in the equipment room. This affects the running and maintenance of the communication devices. If the relative humidity is extremely low, conductive dust particles in the air increase. This affects the air cleanliness in the equipment room and affects the stable running of the equipment.

Measures
Mount the appropriate dehumidifying or humidifying device. Use a humidifier in dry areas. You can also use a wet mop to ensure that the humidity in the room is maintained. Use a dehumidifier in damp areas.

1.3.4 Air Cleanliness


This describes the basic requirements for air cleanliness, effects on the running of the device, and handling measures.

Basic Requirements
Air cleanliness is measured in terms of the density of the mechanical active substances and the density of the chemical active substances. Take appropriate protection measures in the equipment room so that the air cleanliness in the equipment room can meet the following requirements:
l

The equipment room is free of explosive, conductive, magneto conductive, or corrosive dust.

Effects on Device Running


l

If the density of dust particles in the air is excessively high, they stick to the surface of electronic components and integrated circuits. This weakens the heat dissipation abilities of the components and circuits. When conductive dust comes into contact with the components, it weakens their insulation ability, and leads to short-circuits.

Chemical active substances also affect the communication device. For example, if an acidic gas such as SO2 is very thick in the air, the device may be damaged due to rust, thus causing short circuit. If CO is very thick in the air, it may cause an explosion.

Measures
l l

The ground, wall, and ceiling are dustproof. Doors and windows facing outwards are equipped with screens. The outer windows are dustproof. The equipment room and air filter frame are regularly cleaned. Once every three months is recommended. Shoe covers and ESD-preventive clothes are worn when entering the equipment room. The equipment room is not built where the concentration of corrosive gas is high, such as a chemical plant. The air intake vent of the equipment room is in the perennial upwind direction of the pollution source. Batteries are placed in a room where communications devices are not stored. Ask professional organizations to evaluate the air cleanliness in the equipment room.

1 Overview of Routine Maintenance

Take dustproof measures to avoid absorbing static electricity. Ensure that the equipment room meets the standard temperature and humidity requirements. Do not apply insulating floor wax to the antistatic floor. Remove insulating oil film, resin and rubber from antistatic table pad, floor and floor pad. Clean floor pad with neutral or antistatic cleaning solvent. Attach antistatic labels that can be easily identified, on antistatic devices and tools and static sensitive materials; attach grounding tags on the antistatic grounding system. Follow antistatic regulations when operating the device by wearing antistatic clothes or wrist strap. The seats must be antistatic. Use seats made of leatheroid, chemical fibers or plastic, and not wood.

Effects on Device Running


The effect of ESD on devices is apparent. When static electricity comes into contact with electronic components such as large-scale integrated circuits using complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technique, ESD occurs. The instantaneous electrostatic voltage can be increased to more than ten thousand voltages. Therefore, ESD damages the electronic components and may affect the secure running of the device. Research shows that 60% boards are damaged due to ESD. ESD may also lead to software failures such as failure of electronic switches. Table 1-4 lists the increase in the electrostatic voltage in the human body within 40 seconds in three situations.

Table 1-4 and Table 1-6 indicate the effects of ESD on electrical components and show that static electricity of more than 12 kV is generated in 12 seconds when a person is walking in a room without ESD-preventive measures. Therefore, on touching any electronic equipment, the device may be damaged.
NOTE

The average capacitance in a human body is about 200 pF. ESD is generated when you walk because walking is equal to the relative movement between charged bodies. The quantity of charge carried in a human body depends on the factors such as materials of the clothes, floor materials, status of the material surface, indoor temperature and humidity, and walking speed. For example, a human body generates less ESD when ESD clothes instead of clothes made of chemical fibers are worn, the floor is grounded properly, and the indoor humidity is high.

Measures
l l l

Train operators on ESD prevention. Raise the humidity to 60% RH or above to reduce the effect of static electricity. Use the antistatic floor in the equipment room; when entering the equipment room, wear the ESD-preventive shoes, work clothes, and wrist strap. Ground all conductors reliably. Remove electrostatic sources if possible. Mark the areas that required antistatic measures with labels that can be identified easily. Place the electrostatic sensitive device (ESSD) 30 cm away or farther from electrostatic sources.

2 Risky Operations

HUAWEI GGSN9811 Gateway GPRS Support Node Routine Maintenance

2.1 Risky Hardware Operations


This describes the risky hardware operations that need to be avoided during routine maintenance. Table 2-1 Risky hardware operations Operation Object Operation on boards Operation Item Do not remove two or more SPUs from a subrack simultaneously. Do not remove the active board online. Possible Consequence of Misoperation If two or more SPUs are removed from a fully configured subrack simultaneously, the working SPUs in the subrack may be overloaded or even burnt. If the active board is removed online when the standby board is normal, the system can automatically switch the standby board to the active board. The latest data on the removed active board, however, cannot be backed up to the standby board in time because the data synchronization between the active and standby boards takes some time. Thus, problems such as call drop and CDR loss occur in the system. If the active board is removed online when the standby board is faulty, all the services of the module are interrupted, and partial or global service congestion may occur in the system. If the RESET button is pressed, the hardware of the board is forcibly reset. This operation can be performed only by experienced maintenance personnel in the case of a severe system fault. If the RESET button of the active board is pressed by mistake, the active board is reset, and the consequence of this operation is the same as that of removing the active board online. Only Huawei engineers can use the debug serial port of a board. If the debug serial port of a board is used, the processing efficiency of the board decreases and the board may be reset. The static electricity on the human body is harmful to the electronic components of the board. If the maintenance personnel insert or remove a board without wearing the antistatic wrist strap, the board may be damaged or may run unstably.

Do not press the RESET button on the board panel unless necessary.

Do not connect the serial port cable to the debug serial port of a board for debugging.

Do not insert or remove the board without wearing antistatic wrist straps or gloves.

4.1 Maintaining the Grounding System


This describes how to maintain the grounding system. A proper grounding system is a key factor to ensure the stable and reliable running of the GGSN9811. The grounding system protects the maintenance persons and protects the device from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI), and lightning strike. 4.1.1 Checking the Grounding System This describes how to check the grounding system. 4.1.2 Measuring Grounding Resistance This describes how to measure the grounding resistance.

4.1.1 Checking the Grounding System


This describes how to check the grounding system. To ensure the stable and reliable running of the device, the grounding system of the GGSN9811 must be regularly maintained. It is recommended that you maintain the grounding system once every month.

Introduction to the Grounding System


The GGSN9811 uses the joint grounding mode. That is, the working ground (GND), protection ground (PGND), and return ground (RTN) share one grounding body. The grounding cables of all cabinets are jointed together to form an equipotential system. The grounding cables are generally yellow and green. Based on their positions, the grounding cables of the GGSN9811 are divided into several types. Refer to Table 4-1. Table 4-1 Grounding cable types of the GGSN9811 Position of Grounding Cables Between a cabinet and the grounding system Description The grounding cable of a cabinet is the cable that connects the grounding terminal of the power distribution box (PDB) to the grounding copper busbar of the DC power distribution frame (PDF). The grounding cable between two cabinets is connected from the grounding copper busbar of cabinet A to that of cabinet B. Here, cabinet A and cabinet B refer to any two cabinets. The grounding cable of the PDB connects the PDB to the grounding copper busbar. The grounding cable of the GGSN9811 subrack connects the GGSN9811 subrack to the grounding copper busbar. The grounding cables of the cabinet connect the door, top cover, and bottom of the cabinet to the grounding copper busbar.

Position of Grounding Cables Outside a cabinet

Description The grounding cables of peripheral devices connect peripheral devices such as the alarm box and the emergency workstation to the grounding system of the equipment room.

Checking and Maintaining the Grounding System


1. 2. 3. Check whether the grounding cables in a cabinet are damaged, aged, corroded, or burned by electrical arc. Check whether the connecting terminals and captive screws of the grounding cables in a cabinet are connected firmly and properly. Ensure that they are not corroded. Test whether all the components in a cabinet are properly grounded by using a multimeter. Adjust the multimeter to measure the resistance. Connect a probe to a certain grounding point in the equipment room. You may need to lengthen the probe cable if its length is not sufficient. Then, use another probe to measure the grounding points in the cabinet one by one. The resistance measured at each grounding point must be about one ohm. Measure the grounding resistance of the grounding network in the equipment room with an earth resistance tester. The grounding resistance must be less than 10 ohms. For the detailed operations on grounding resistance measurement, see 4.1.2 Measuring Grounding Resistance.

4.

Definition of PGND, RTN, and GND


l

PGND refers to the protection ground for the cabinets and metal shells of various devices in a cabinet. RTN is used for DC power supplies of cabinets. Generally, the positive pole of -48 V DC power is grounded in the PDF. GND refers to the working ground for functional circuits of components in a cabinet. GND consists of the digital ground and analog ground of boards and backplanes.

4.1.2 Measuring Grounding Resistance


This describes how to measure the grounding resistance.

CAUTION
l

Deploy the current pole and voltage pole in the direction vertical to the line or underground metal pipe. Do not measure the grounding resistance immediately after the rain.

Measure the grounding resistance of the grounding network in the equipment room with an earth resistance tester. Figure 4-1 shows the deployment of the voltage pole and current pole of the earth resistance tester.

Figure 4-1 Deployment of poles of the earth resistance tester


Grounding network Measurement point Voltage pole d2 d1 D Current pole

1.

The distance between the current pole and the grounding network edge is labeled as d1. The distance is usually four or five times the grounding network diagonal D in order to generate a flat potential distribution section. The distance between the voltage pole and the grounding network edge is labeled as d2. The distance is usually 50% to 60% of d1. You can move the voltage pole along the line between the grounding network and the current pole three times, with the distance of about 5% of d1 each time. If the three resistance values are close, the grounding network resistance is their average value. If increasing the length of d1 to 4D or 5D is impossible, you can increase the length of d1 to 2D and d2 to 1D in the area with even soil resistance, and 3D and 1.7D in the area with uneven soil resistance.
