Issue 04 (2011-03-07)
BSC6900 GSM
Installation Guide
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
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.
Issue 04 (2011-03-07)

4-3
BSC6900 GSM
Installation Guide
Cable Binding Requirements

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.

how to check that the power supply to the subrack, the fan box and boards in the subrack are
normal.
Prerequisite
l
Issue 04 (2011-03-07)
The power cables and PGND cables are installed between the cabinet and the PDF.
4-11
The subracks, fan boxes, and boards are installed in the cabinet.
The required tool (multimeter) is available.
BSC6900 GSM
Installation Guide
Context
The cabinet uses the DC power supply. Technical Specifications of the Power Distribution Box
lists the specifications for the input power of the cabinet.
CAUTION
Wear the ESD wrist strap correctly. Ensure that the ESD wrist strap is properly connected to the
ESD connector on the cabinet.
Before powering on a subrack, do not insert a board into or remove a board from the subrack to
avoid static damage to boards.
Procedure
Step 1 Set the corresponding output switches on the PDF to OFF and set all the output switches on the
power distribution box of the cabinet to OFF.
Step 2 Set the multimeter to the resistance scale, and then measure the resistance at the power output
terminal for the PDF and at the input and output terminals for the power distribution box of the
cabinet. Ensure that there is no short-circuit either between the -48 V working power and the
RTN working ground or between the -48 V working power and the PGND protection ground.
Step 3 Set the corresponding output switches on the PDF to ON and all the output switches on the power
distribution box of the cabinet to OFF.
Then, the power distribution box enters the self-check state. (The RUN and ALM LEDs on the
power distribution box are ON at the same time and the buzzer sounds.) When the self-check is
complete, the power distribution box requests for registration at the SCUa board (the RUN LED
on the power distribution box blinks at 2 Hz) until the registration is successful (the RUN LED
blinks at 0.5 Hz). For the description about the status of LEDs on the power distribution box,
see LEDs on the PAMU Board.
Step 4 Set the multimeter to the voltage scale. Ensure that the PDF output voltage and input voltage of
the power distribution box ranges from -40 V to -57 V.
Step 5 Set the corresponding two switches on the power distribution box to ON on the basis of subrack.
Step 6 Set the multimeter to the voltage scale. Use the multimeter to check whether the output power
of each power distribution box ranges from -40 V to -57 V. Check whether the fan box in the
subrack can be normally started and whether the power supply to the boards in the subrack is
normal.
l Normally, when the subrack is powered on, the STATUS LED is green on the panel of the
fan box blinks. In case of exceptions, immediately turn off the switches of the power
distribution box and PDF. Check whether the output voltage of the power distribution box
is normal and whether the power cables are installed properly. For the description about the
status of LEDs on the fan box, see Fan Box.
l Normally, when the subrack is powered on, the RUN LED on the panel of the board is ON
or blinks. If all the LEDs on a board are OFF, the board or the corresponding slot may be

8 (the most significant bit)
Reserved
As the DIP switch uses odd parity check, the number of 1s in the eight DIP bits must be an odd
number. The setting should adhere to the following principles:
1.
Set DIP bits 1 to 5 as required.
2.
Set DIP bit 7 to 0.
3.
Note that the setting of bit 8 remains unchanged.
4.
Count the number of 1s in the seven bits of the DIP switch.

l If the number of 1s is even, set DIP bit 6 to 1.
l If the number of 1s is odd, set DIP bit 6 to 0.
Assume that the subracks are numbered from 0 to 2 and that bit 8 is set to OFF. For the setting
of the DIP switch in this case, see Table 5-2.

Installation Guide

NOTE
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.

7.2 Principles of Installing the Signal Cables

This section describes the principles of installing the signal cables. The cables should meet the
requirements for minimum bending radius, the principles of laying out cables, the principles of
routing cables, and the principles of binding cables.
Principles of Installing the Signal Cables

When installing the signal cables, take the following precautions:
l
The optical cable should not be stretched roughly or stepped on, and heavy objects should
not be placed on the cable to avoid damage.
The optical connector not in use must be covered with a dustproof cap.
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.

7-5
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.

Not less than 25 mm
Alarm box signal cable
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:
7-6

Issue 04 (2011-03-07)
BSC6900 GSM
Installation Guide
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.
Requirements of Binding the Signal Cables

The requirements of binding the signal cables are as follows:
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
The optical cables must be neatly bound in pairs.
The cables on the cable tray must be bound neatly.
Issue 04 (2011-03-07)

7-7
BSC6900 GSM
Installation Guide
The cable ties must face the same direction and be tied with proper tightness.
The cable ties must be placed at regular intervals, 200 mm for E1/T1 cables, and 150 mm
for optical cables.
The extra length of the cable ties must be cut and the cut surface must be smooth.
7.3 Installing the Inter-TNUa Cables

This section describes how to install the inter-TNUa cables between different subracks. When
a new site is deployed, the inter-TNUa cables are already installed on the MPR cabinet or the
TCR cabinet configured with two or three subracks. When the capacity of a site is expanded,
the inter-TNUa cables need to be installed on site.
Prerequisite
l
The required inter-TNUa cables are available.
The required cable ties and wax strings are available.
The tools required for the installation are available. The tools are ESD gloves or ESD wrist
strap, and wire cutter.
The wires in the cable are intact, the jacket of the cable is undamaged, and the pins in the
connector are straight.
Context
CAUTION
For the installation positions of the inter-TNUa cables in the cabinet, see 11.3.2 Connections
of Signal Cables for the MPR, 11.3.3 Connections of Signal Cables for the EPR, and 11.3.4
Connections of Signal Cables for the TCR .
The inter-TNUa cable is classified into three types in length: 2.2 m, 2.7 m, and 9.7 m. The 2.2
m cable is used for the connection of the adjacent subracks in the same cabinet. The 2.7 m cable
is used for the connection between subracks in the same cabinet. The 9.7 m cable is used for the
connection of subracks in different cabinets.
Procedure
Step 1 Attach formal labels to identify the signal cables of the same type when the number of signal
cables of the same type to be installed is more than one.
Step 2 Route one end of the cable to the TNUa board (generally the TNUa board in the main subrack),
and lead the other end to the distribution post in the cable trough. Estimate the length of the cable
between TNUa boards (the bending radius must be at least 35 mm). Then, bind the cable and
the distribution post, and route the cable along the cable trough to the left side of the cabinet.
Step 3 Route the cable to the TNUa according to the requirements specified in 7.2 Principles of
Installing the Signal Cables and the engineering requirements. The cabling of the inter-TNUa
cables is described in Table 7-3.

NOTE
l Figure 11-8 and Figure 11-9 presents the connections of signal cables for the MPR that is configured
with only one MPS and one EPS. When more than one EPS is required, another cabinet is added. In
this case, the connections of signal cables for the EPS in the new cabinet are similar to the connections
of signal cables for the EPS in Figure 11-8 and Figure 11-9.
l The types of interface boards, installation positions of cables, and number of cables for the MPS/EPS
in Figure 11-8 and Figure 11-9 are taken as examples. The actual configurations depend on the site
planning.

l The types of interface boards, installation positions of cables, and number of cables shown in Figure
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.
