Each clock board supports 7 clock resource, including: 4 clock in equipment room
(2MHZ or 2Mbit), 2 line clock (8KHZ, acquired from Iu interface) and 1 * GPS clock. One
of the 7 clock resource will be specified as the working clock source via software
configuration, the rest clocks for standby.
11
When all the 7 clock sources are missing, clock board can work under free oscillation,
which is used by RNC.
No matter it is acquired from clock source or under free oscillation, RNC can provide its
own clock to NodeB.

Security Indices
The optical interface design and optical module chosen are according to the
requirements of BS EN 60825-2-2000.
Racks Stability
13
The layout of the rack shall maintain the overall symmetry. Under the premise to ensure
the performance indices and thermal design requirements, the gravity center shall be
lowered as much as possible to improve the overall stability. In normal conditions, the
equipment shall not be inverted on a 10 degrees tilt platform. The shell of the equipment
must be able to resist some external percussion. The case, shelves, and shell must be
fixed reliably, without the tendency to scatter.
Security protection grade is IP20 (2indicates that prevents the object which is bigger
than 12mm such as finger to insert into. And 0 indicates that has no special water
protection)
Such test can be done by using the integrity rack shell of sample or the other biggest
area of not enhanced part: one 500g steel ball will free fall from 1.3m height to hit the up
surface of the equipment, the case has no clearly indent. Or the 500g steel ball with
1.3m line as a horizontal pendulum to hit the beside surface of the equipment, if there is
indent damage or scratch, but it does not affect security, water resistant, and it also
can endure corresponding anti- electric strength, this test is passed.
Lightning Protection
The system provides lightning protection measures. The working ground and the
protection ground are reliable with the grounding resistance of the protection ground less
than 1 ohm. The protection grounding terminals are anti-corrosive; the insulating layer of
the grounding conductor is yellow-green. There is tooth-shape washer for the connection
between the protection ground and the screw of shell (or PCB) to make the protection
group more reliable and stable.
Current leakage
Security Marks
A clearly and long term sticky tags or marks must be labeled to ensure no mistake of
wrong board and cable connection. It has indicator, switch and button and mark with
clear color to indicate the meaning of the system running status.
The case can resist heat and flame. The outside case and clapboard between shelves
are all made of flame proof, heat resistance and explosion prevention material. All
material and units has the flame proof level better than V-2 or HF-2.
Input Current
Under the condition of rated input voltage, the input current shouldnt be more than110%
of rated current.
14
Abnormal Situations
RNC has no danger at the situations of overload, output short circuit, power in reverse,
fan locked and other man-made faults caused by mistake operations.
The components bridged at the normal position will not be damaged if the 1000Vac
grounding insulation between the telecom network circuits and grounding components is
not punctured.
As for TNV-1 circuit, whether it can be connected or not, it meets the requirements of the
stable anti-electric strength of network voltage protection.

Figure 5
The workload of the hardware installation is large and complex. It can fall into the
following parts:
1
Installing cabinet
ZXWR RNC adopts 19-inch standard cabinet. The cabinet installation includes base
installation mode and feet installation mode. In the case of multi-cabinet, fix a single
cabinet first and then connect the cabinets.
2
Installing boards
Usually, the shelf is installed inside the rack before delivery. The users are only required
to install boards and other accessories on the site.

16
Installing cables
After installing the cabinet, cables are required to install, including cabinet power cable,
cabinet grounding cable, intra-cabinet line, out-of-cabinet line, and inter-cabinet line.
4
GPS serves as the clock and frequency reference of WCDMA, playing a very important
role. In addition, it provides the system with GPS ephemeris signals for AGPS location.
GPS antenna receives the navigation location signals from the GPS satellite, modulating
into the frequency, clock signals and AGPS messages via the GPS signal receiver. The
clock signals are provided to WCDMA units and AGPS messages are sent to the
processing unit.
5
Installing accessories
After installing the cabinet, accessories related to RNC operation are required to install,
including the alarm box and all kinds of sensors.
6
Check the installation of ZXWR RNC hardware completely after it ends. The check
includes the cabinet installation techniques, cable connection and layout, auxiliary
device and related items.
7
After checking the installation, please power on/off the equipment for check.
