5.1 Overview
Most hardware components of the ZXSDR BS8900B have been installed before delivery.
This chapter only describes the installation of hardware components that need to be
installed on site. They are as follows:
l RF System Unit (RSU)
l Battery
Note:
The ZXSDR BS8900B may be delivered with all these hardware components installed.
You can install the component(s) that have not been installed by referring to this chapter.
5-1

Caution!
Before installing a hardware component, wear an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) wrist
strap, and connect it to the ESD jack on the cabinet, see .
Wearing an ESD Wrist Strap
5.2 Installing an RF System Unit

This section describes how to install an RF System Unit (RSU) in the cabinet.
Context
RSUs are installed in the RC8910B cabinet. Up to seven RSUs can be installed in the
RC8910B-7 cabinet, and up to nine RSUs can be installed in the RC8910B-9 cabinet.
The ZXSDR BS8900B provides a series of RSUs, including RSU40, RSU60E, and RSU82.
More models are available depending on customer demands. The methods for installing
different RSUs are similar.
The slots where the RSUs are to be installed must be determined according to the site plan.
You can consult the project supervisor if there is any question regarding RSU installation.
Steps
1. After wearing a grounded ESD wrist strap, hold the handle of the RSU with one hand,
and hold the bottom of the RSU with the other hand. Then align the RSU with the slot,
and push the RSU slowly into the slot.
5-2

Chapter 5 Hardware Component Installation
Caution!
Because the RSU is about 15 kg, hold the bottom of the RSU during installation to
prevent it from dropping down, which may result in personnel injury and component
damage.
Caution!
Hold the RSU with its power interface pointing downwards and the ANT interface
pointing upwards.
2. Fasten the five screws on the panel of the RSU, see Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1 Installing the RSU
3. Connect the RSU to the ground, and then install the power cable and the monitoring
cable in sequence, see Figure 5-2.
a. To ground the RSU, connect the middle screw on the lower part of the RSU panel
with the protective grounding plate, and then fasten the two screws.
b. To install the power cable, plug the power cable connector into the POWER socket
on the RSU, and then fasten the screws of the connector.
5-3

c. To connect the monitoring cable, plug the monitoring cable connector into the MON
socket of the RSU, and then fasten the screws of the connector.

5.3 Installing Batteries

This section describes how to install batteries.
The four cabinets of the ZXSDR BS8900B can be installed with batteries. For the number
of batteries that can be installed in the cabinets, refer to Table 5-1.
Table 5-1 Number of Batteries that Can Be Installed in the Cabinets
Cabinet Battery
BC8910B Two 150 AH battery groups
RC8910B-7 One 150 AH battery group
RC8910B-9 One 150 AH battery group
PC8910B Four 150 AH battery groups
5-4

Chapter 5 Hardware Component Installation
Note:
If only one battery group is needed, it is recommended to install the battery group at the
lower layer of the cabinet. The unused cable connectors of the batteries should be wrapped
and insulated.
When installing batteries, pay attention to the following:

l All batteries must be installed orderly in the cabinet with their electrodes facing
outwards.
l Both the upper and the lower layers are installed with a battery group respectively,
and each group contains four batteries.
l Related cables, such as the power cable and monitoring cable, should be properly
routed before battery installation to facilitate later cable connection.
Note:
For the installation and cascade of batteries, you can refer to the installation instructions
provided by the battery vendor.

a cable is routed through an aperture with larger diameter, waterproof tapes must
be used to wrap the cable so that the diameter of the wrapped cable matches the
aperture.
l If all the waterproof modules fail to satisfy the cabling requirements, glue seals should
be used instead to seal the cable holes.

6.1.4 Cable Routing Principles

The cable routing principles are as follows:
l During cable routing, reserve a radian that is five times bigger than the cable diameter
at each cable root. Reserve a radian that is three times big than the cable diameter
at each cable bend.
l After cable routing, tighten the fixing screw of the plug.
l Different configurations require different cables. Select cables according to actual
configurations.
l Bind all the cables gently by using line deductions. All the bound cables should be
neatly arranged without crossing or turning, and they are bound not too tightly or
loosely.
l Increase or reduce binding points according to cable branches. Fix the binding points,
turnings, and branch points.
l Cut smoothly the extra lengths of line deductions.
l Keep more than 50 mm distance between a power cable and a signal cable when they
are routed in parallel.
