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.
l 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.
l Ensure that the bending radius is five times longer than the diameter of the cable.
l 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.
l When connecting power cables to the terminals of the power distribution box, lay the cables
straight and smoothly.

BSC6900 GSM
Cable Binding Requirements

l The power cables and PGND cables must be separated from the signal cables.
l The spacing between the cable ties should be 200 mm.
l 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.
l The selection of cable ties (150 mm/300 mm) depends on the diameter and quantity of
cables.
l 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.

This section describes how to check the power supply to the cabinet. In addition, this describes
how to check that the power supply to the subrack, the fan box and boards in the subrack are
normal.
Prerequisite
l The power cables and PGND cables are installed between the cabinet and the PDF.

BSC6900 GSM
l The subracks, fan boxes, and boards are installed in the cabinet.
l The required tool (multimeter) is available.
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

BSC6900 GSM
faulty. Contact Huawei technical support engineers for further handling. For the description
about the status of LEDs on the board, see LEDs on the Boards.
l If the LEDs on all the boards in a subrack are OFF, 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.
Step 7 Repeat Step 5 to Step 6 to check the power supply to all the subracks in one cabinet.
Step 8 Repeat Step 1 to Step 7 to check the power supply to each cabinet.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
Record the results of power-on and checking to the corresponding table provided in 12

2 Subrack number setting bit
6 Parity check bit
7 Reserved, generally set to ON.
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.

6.4.3 DIP Switches on the PEUa Board

The PEUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10.
Figure 6-4 shows the layout of the DIP switches on the PEUa board.

BSC6900 GSM
Figure 6-4 Layout of the DIP switches on the PEUa board
(1) Sub-board (2) Bottom plate

BSC6900 GSM
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 sub-
board, 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.

6.4.4 DIP Switch on the PFCU Board

The PFCU board has one DIP switch, which is named SW1 and consists of four bits. The DIP
switch is used to set the address of the PFCU board. When the PFCU board is configured in a
fan box of the service subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 1. When the PFCU board
is configured in the independent fan subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 4.

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.
l The optical connector not in use must be covered with a dustproof cap.
l 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.
l Protect the jackets of the signal cables from being damaged during the routing.
l When coiling the extra length of optical cables on the fiber management tray, apply proper
force to avoid damaging the optical.
l The actual installation positions must meet the requirements of site survey and data
configuration.
l 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
l 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 Bending Radius
BITS clock signal cable Not less than 45mm
Y-shaped clock cable Not less than 25 mm
Ethernet cable Not less than 25 mm
Optical cable Not less than 40mm
SFP+ high-speed cable Not less than 25 mm
E1/T1 cable Not less than 40mm
Inter-TNUa cable Not less than 35mm
EMU RS485 Communication Cable Not less than 25 mm
OMUa serial port cable 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.
l 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.
l 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:

board and the DDF in overhead cabling mode.
Prerequisite
l The tools required for the installation are available. The required tools are ESD gloves or
ESD wrist strap, wire cutter, long tape measure or ruler, and flat-head screwdriver.
Context
CAUTION
CAUTION
The types of E1/T1 cables that are led out of the BSC6900 depend on the actual conditions. The
cable must match the connector and be consistent with the setting of DIP switches on the EIUa/
PEUa board.
CAUTION
Before soldering the connector to the DDF, you should ensure that the soldering iron is grounded;
otherwise, the board may be burnt.
E1/T1 cables are classified into two types: non-active/standby E1/T1 cable and active/standby
E1/T1 cable. A non-active/standby E1/T1 cable is connected to only one board, whereas the
active/standby E1/T1 cable is connected to the active and standby boards respectively through
two connectors at one end of the cable. Figure Figure 7-14 and Figure 7-15 show how to install
the E1/T1 cables between the EIUa/PEUa board and the DDF in overhead cabling mode.

Procedure
Step 1 Tie the E1/T1 cables in bundles and route the E1/T1 cables along the cable tray until they reach
the top of the cabinet. Reserve an appropriate length of the E1/T1 cables and then lead the cables
into the cabinet through the cable hole on the top of the cabinet (4 PCS at a time).

BSC6900 GSM
CAUTION
l If the E1/T1 cable is not long enough, replace it with another E1/T1 cable of proper length.
In special scenarios, you can use special connectors to link another cable to the short cable.
Do not solder E1/T1 cables directly.
l Do not block the mesh for heat dissipation while routing the E1/T1 cables.
l To facilitate the installation of the E1/T1 cables, you can remove the side doors of the cabinet.
When the BSC6900 cabinet is combined with the PDF, do not remove the side doors.
Step 2 Route the E1/T1 cables along the middle column towards the corresponding subrack.
Step 3 Open the cover plate of the back cable trough for ease of routing the E1/T1 cables towards the
subrack, as shown in Figure 7-16.
Figure 7-16 Opening the cover plate of the back cable trough
Step 4 Route the E1/T1 cables through the back cable trough and align the DB44 connectors of the
cables with the DB44 sockets on the EIUa/PEUa board. Insert the connectors into the socket
vertically. Then, use your hand to tighten the two screws on each DB44 connector.

BSC6900 GSM
CAUTION
l To bundle the E1/T1 cables neatly and to avoid any damage to the sockets, check that all the
boards to which the E1/T1 cables are to be connected are secured on the subrack.
Step 5 Lay and bundle the E1/T1 cables within the cabinet.
1. When installing non-active/standby E1/T1 cables, use the cables ties to bundle the E1/T1
cables led from the same EIUa/PEUa board. When installing active/standby E1/T1 cables,
use the cable ties to bundle the E1/T1 cables respectively from the active and standby EIUa/
PEUa boards. Ensure that the bundled cables are in the same plane. Figure 7-17 shows the
bundling mode.
Figure 7-17 Bundling E1/T1 cables led from the boards (non-active/standby E1/T1 cable
as example)
2. Use the cable ties to bundle the cables led from the board, and then guide the cables to the
corresponding cable post at the back cable trough, as shown in Figure 7-18. The E1/T1
cables of the board in each slot are located in the separate space between two cable posts.
Use the cable ties to bundle the cables round the cable post where the cables bend.

to the boards in slots 19-14 should be routed to the right.
l To tighten the cables, lead the cable tie through the hold at the bottom of the back cable trough
and then bundle the cables.
3. Place the E1/T1 cables neatly and bundle them on the side of the cabinet. Bundle the cables
in a 4 x 2 stack. That is, bundle the cables in two orderly piles arranged in layers, each of
which involves four cables from inwards to outwards. Figure 7-19 shows the bundled E1/
T1 cables on the cabinet side.

CAUTION
l When there is insufficient space for the bundling inside the cabinet, you are advised to
bundle the E1/T1 cables of the board in each slot in a 4 x 2 stack, and then route the
stacked cables to the column of the cabinet. Bundle the adjacent stacked E1/T1 cables
using the cable ties.
l The space between two stacked E1/T1 cables must not be greater than 200 mm.
l Ensure that all cable ties are in the same direction. This helps in saving the space.
Step 6 Place the E1/T1 cables neatly and bundle them on the cable tray. Figure 7-20 and Figure
7-21 show the bundled cables on the cable tray.

tray. A minimum of 100 mm should be reserved between the power cables and the E1/T1
cables.
l The E1/T1 cables on the cable tray are bundled in a stack. The first stack of bundled E1/T1
cables is secured to the rungs of the cable tray with the cable ties. All other stacks of bundled
E1/T1 cables are neatly stacked to the first stack of cables. The adjacent two stacks of E1/
T1 cables are bundled by the cable ties.
l Bundle the stack of E1/T1 cables at the rungs of the cable tray.
Step 7 Cut the E1/T1 cables on the DDF side according to the field requirements.
Step 8 Assemble the connectors for the E1/T1 cables on the DDF side according to the DDF type.
CAUTION
l Before soldering the connector to the E1/T1 cable on the DDF side, you should remove the
E1/T1 connector from the EIUa/PEUa board in the BSC6900 cabinet to avoid any damage
to the board. After the soldering, reinstall the connector to the port on the EIUa/PEUa board.
l Before soldering the connector to the DDF, you should ensure that the soldering iron is
grounded; otherwise, the board may be burnt.

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.
