1 Safety Rules and Precautions
This chapter contains the following safety rules and precautions:
Safety rules for equipment under power
Electrostatic precautions.
Injury from Equipment

Possible death or serious physical harm to personnel and damage to equipment
may result from mishandling.
While performing any maintenance tasks or procedures, you must follow any
local safety requirements, and those mentioned in General Safety Instructions
for Field Operations and this chapter.
3BK 20643 AAAA PCZZA Ed.09 9 / 146

1.1 Safety Rules for Equipment Under Power

For maintenance purposes, field operators may have to work on equipment
under power (-48 VDC or -60 VDC). This means that it is possible to touch
some parts under power, that are only protected by heavy fuses. Maintenance
activities must be carried out carefully to avoid short circuits and to prevent
serious personal injury.
Remove all conductive objects from the hands, such as rings, bracelets,
metallic wrist watches and so on. Use appropriate insulated tools for
maintenance activities.
1.2 Electrostatic Precautions

Environment The following electrostatic precautions must be observed:
Ensure that work benches, stools, and floor mats have a conducting surface
connected to ground. Before handling static-sensitive components and
assemblies, ground yourself to the conducting surface using an anti-static
wrist strap.
When handling static-sensitive components and assemblies, do not wear

or use clothes made of wool, nylon or any other synthetic material. Such
fabrics are major sources of static build-up.
When handling static-sensitive components and assemblies, do not use

gloves and finger covers, unless they are made of cotton.
Tools Ensure that all the tools which come into contact with static-sensitive
components are at the same voltage level as the conducting work surfaces
and floor mats.
These tools include soldering irons, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and
metal parts of tools and fixtures that are used to hold, assemble or test PBAs.
Do not use rough cleaners or erasers to clean the gold-plated contacts

on PBAs.
Do not mark a PBA with a lead pencil or any other writing instrument.
Do not use synthetic brushes to clean equipment, and do not use dry
cleaning methods.
Transportation and Pack all containers used to transport and store static-sensitive components,
Storage and use aluminium container tubes if possible. If not, insert the component
terminations into electrically conductive foam.
Before shipping a PBA, wrap it in a conducting synthetic bag or in aluminium

foil. Also pack the PBA in a polyethylene transport box.
Before shipping a PBA which has MOS components, ensure that an

appropriate warning symbol is displayed on the package.
Store spare PBAs in their appropriate polyethylene boxes. Keep the boxes
closed except when access to their contents is required.
Do not store PBAs in an area where the air is polluted with smoke, dust,
dangerous gases or other air-borne particles that may cause damage.
10 / 146 3BK 20643 AAAA PCZZA Ed.09

Do not stack PBAs side-by-side or on top of each other with the board
surfaces or components in contact with one another.
Before cleaning a PBA, remove or disconnect the damage protection, such

as protective foam, to allow the PBA to be cleaned thoroughly. Replace the
damage protection upon completion of the task.
Components and PBAs Components and PBAs not in protective containers, must only be handled
by trained personnel in static-controlled work areas.
Before removing a PBA from an equipment rack, discharge any static by

touching the metal frame of the rack with your hand.
Always handle a PBA by the edges.
Do not handle or carry a PBA by any of the mounted components.
Do not handle a PBA by the gold-plated contact terminals and do not apply
direct pressure to the components.
Do not touch PBA connection pins or conductor paths.
Do not touch PBAs with wet hands.
Place PBAs that have been removed during maintenance with the soldered
side downwards on a conductive surface.
Do not scratch or rub the soldered side of a PBA with a sharp or rough
object.
Do not repair PBAs in the switch room.

Do not handle components and assemblies by their leads.
Do not use excessive force when inserting connection boards.

3.4 Physical RIT Positions in STASR/ACSR

All subracks used in the BTS A9100 are based on the same partitioning rules
(1/6, 1/4, 1/3, etc.). Therefore the positions of the backplane connectors are
well defined and related to fixed slot numbers.
Especially in the STASR the different modules can be put into different
predefined slots. Because there is no slot numbering visible on the STASR
and ACSR and because the different modules have different widths (see
dotted lines in the following figure) the slot numbers do not equal to the
physical position numbers.
The following figure helps to map the slot number of the module to be replaced
to the physical position in the subrack.

Read this section before starting the procedures in this chapter.
Prerequisites You must have read Safety Rules and Precautions (Chapter 1) before
performing any reloading procedures.
Tools and Materials You must have one of the following:
A BTS terminal connected via an RS-232 asynchronous communication

link cable to the MMI port on the:
SUM in the BTS A9100 cabinet
COBO in the BTS A910 cabinet.
Refer to the BTS Terminal User Guide for more information.
A BSC terminal connected to the BSC via one of the following:

An RS-232 asynchronous communication link cable
An X.25 synchronous communication link cable.
Refer to the BSC Terminal User Guide for more information.
Access to an operator at the OMC-R.

Impact on System Note the following impact on the system:
The BTS is still available during the reset and subsequent reload of OMU
software. Although the OMU is not available, calls can be set up and
cleared in normal operating conditions.
There is no significant difference in system behavior between the four

different ways of performing the reload action. The OMC-R is informed of
the BTS state changes.
Restrictions None.
4.2 Use a BTS, BSC or OMC-R Terminal

To reload the OMU software using a BTS, BSC or OMC-R terminal, refer to
