Precautions

• This document provides guidelines for quick hardware installation.

• This document does not describe pre-delivery assembly.
• This document only describes procedures for onsite installation.

Electrostatic Discharge
Wear ESD gloves or an ESD wrist strap prior to contact with the equipment or before handling the
device, boards, or IC chips to prevent damage to sensitive components due to electrostatic discharge
from the human body. Ensure that the other end of the ESD wrist strap is properly grounded.

Bundling Cables
• Binding intervals between cable ties or optical fiber binding straps inside the cabinet cannot exceed
250 mm(9.84in.). (Binding intervals cannot exceed 200 mm(7.87in.) for user cables).
• Binding intervals between cable ties for all cables and corrugated pipes outside the cabinet are
determined based on the distance between the two horizontal beams. If the cable trough does not
contain any beams, the binding intervals between cable ties cannot exceed 250 mm(9.84in.).
• Bonds within and between frames, subracks and other metallic structures are plated or planed and
coated with antioxidant. Bonds within and between frames, subracks and other metallic structures are
fastened through screws, rivets, jointing properly.

Pre-Installation Check
Check and ensure that the equipment room, power supply, ground cables and optical cables are ready
for installation. Start the installation according to the engineering design documents after confirming that
conditions are met.

Regulation and Precautions for Board Handling

Do not hold a board without hand protection. Wear an ESD wrist strip or ESD gloves before handling a board.

Wearing ESD gloves Wearing an ESD strip Holding aboard without hand protection

Hold the front panel of a board with both hands.

• Insert filler panels into idle slots on an NE to prevent foreign matters from getting into the NE, which may
result in faults on the NE.
• Boards are fragile and valuable. When handling or placing a board, exercise caution and put it into a
dedicated packing box.
• Coherent boards must be packed with original packaging materials during transportation. If the original
packaging materials are lost, contact Huawei.

Technical Specifications of the Subrack

• Dimensions:498 mm (W) x 295 mm (D) x 450 mm (H) (19.6 in. (W) x11.6 in. (D) x 17.7 in. (H))
• Weight (empty subrack): 18 kg (39.6 lb.)
• Maximum subrack power consumption: 2400 W
• Rated working current: 50 A
• Nominal working voltage: -48 V DC

• An empty subrack means that there have not been any boards, fan tray assemblies, or air filters
installed.
• The maximum subrack power consumption refers to the maximum power consumption
configuration that the subrack supports and the maximum heat dissipation capability that the
subrack has. In practical applications, the maximum subrack power consumption is much higher
than the power consumption of the subrack in typical configurations.
• Cables are not supplied with the OptiX OSN 8800 T16. Information about power consumption is
provided while cable specifications are not provided.

 Installing and Routing Fibers Between Subracks

NOTE
When fibers splice through the E2000-E2000 connector on the ODF, purchase an E2000 ODF box for fiber routing and
installation. For details, see the E2000-ODF BOX Installation Guide.

1 Installing and Routing Fibers Between Subracks

Avoid direct eye exposure to lasers when checking fiber attenuation. Do not wind external fibers around fiber spools.

Choose a coiling fiber spool according to the length of redundant fibers. Wind the fibers around the big spool first and
then the smaller spool. The fibers should not be coiled too tightly or too loosely. Ensure that the bending radius of
fibers is not less than 30 mm (1.18 in.).
After fiber installation, insert fiber connectors in idle interfaces and cover idle fibers with fiber caps.

When connecting fibers between boards on the left and right sides of a
subrack, route the fibers under the protective plate below the XCH. When
the slot for the XCH is inserted with an adaptive frame to house an
optical-layer board, route fibers to the board above the protective plate.

2 Installing and Routing Fibers to a DCM Frame

Choose a coiling fiber spool according to the length of redundant fibers. Wind the fibers
around the big spool first and then the smaller spool. The fibers should not be coiled too tightly
or too loosely. Ensure that the bending radius of fibers is not less than 30 mm (1.18 in. ) .
After routing the fibers to a DCM, restore the plastic cover and door of the subrack to their
original positions.

b Measure the output optical power of the ODF at the

transmit end and record the reading as b.
d Measure the input optical power at the IN port on the FIU
board at the receive end and record the reading as d.

Subtract reading b from reading a to determine the fiber insertion loss on the line side of the upstream station. This
insertion loss must be lower than 1 dB. The fiber connectors on span 1 require cleaning if the insertion loss is greater
than 1 dB. The fibers on span 1 need to be replaced if the insertion loss remains greater than 1 dB after the fiber
connectors are cleaned.
Subtract reading d from reading c to determine the fiber insertion loss on the line side of the downstream station. This
insertion loss must be lower than 1 dB. The fiber connectors on span 2 require cleaning if the insertion loss is greater
than 1 dB. The fibers on span 2 need to be replaced if the insertion loss remains greater than 1 dB after the fiber
connectors are cleaned.
After ensuring that the optical paths on spans 1 and 2 are functioning properly, calculate the actual line attenuation
between the two stations according to the Line attenuation = a - d + 2 formula. (In the formula, 2 indicates 2 dB, the
insertion loss of each FIU board.) The line attenuation must be equal to or lower than the line attenuation specified in the
design documents. In the event that the line attenuation does not fall within the specified range, inform the customer to
rectify or replace the fibers on span 3.

After all issues are resolved, restore all fibers and cable connections, and set up all optical paths from west to east.

Repeat the preceding operations to set up all the optical paths from east to west and ensure that the optical paths
between the existing stations are functioning properly.

 Checking the Installation

1 Installation Checklist

Double check that these items have been properly performed.

Tasks Items Results

Installing
subrack The subrack is installed in the correct location, with all the screws fastened.

All the boards have been installed in compliance with the engineering design.

All the boards should be completely inserted into the slot. And the front panels are
well locked.
Installing Inspect the desired chassis slot and ensure it is free from any defects or foreign
boards metal or objects.

The front panel is installed to cover the empty slot.

The unused optical interfaces on the unit must be covered with the fiber caps.

Routing of all the cables comply with the engineering design.

The labels of the cables and fibers are properly pasted. The labels are attached
neatly at two ends of the cables, facing the same direction. The contents on them
are correct and clear.
The trough is needed for cabling outside the rack. Do not make the cables overflow
the trough.

The radius of the routed cables must be equal to or more than 30 mm (1.18 in. ) .

The -48V DC cable , return cable and ground cable are connected correctly and
firmly.
When the -48V DC cable , return cable and ground cable is connected to a lug on
site, solder or firm it.

The -48V DC cable , return cable and ground cable are bent smoothly.
Installing
and routing The external -48V DC cable, return cable and ground cable are arranged
cables separately from signal cables.

Properly ground all racks and subracks that involve metal shells.

Bend the cables in a radius that is 3 to 5 times larger than the cable diameter. The
cables cannot be bound where they are bent.
Use protection tubes or insulating adhesive plasters to wrap power cables, naked
cables and lug stems. There should be no bare copper wires in lugs or terminals.
Spring washers and flat washers should be installed properly.

The fibers should not be compressed by other cables after fiber routing.

The connection between the fiber jumper and the optical interface unit or the fiber
adapter is firm.
Fiber jumpers routed from the equipment to the ODF must be covered with a
protective pipe or trough.
The fiber jumpers are secured smoothly and interconnected reliably in the ODF.
The redundant fiber jumpers are coiled tidily.

 Checking the Installation

2 Checking the Equipment Prior to Powering On

• Check whether a fixed optical attenuator was added before powering on the subrack. Refer to
configuration rules for attenuators prior to proceeding.
• Turn off all power switches on the power distribution box after the test.
• When the supply voltage is not the required, do not connect the power.

Turn off the switch to the power supply, and then use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance between -
48V DC, RTN and GND.
