7 Requirements and Precautions for Operating Cards

Caution
 Do not contact cards with bare hands. Always wear ESD protection gloves or an ESD protection
wrist strap when operating cards.
 When holding a card, put your hands on its panel. Do not touch any components or wires on a card
or metal conductors in a socket.

 All vacant slots in a subrack should be installed with dummy panels. When you unplug a dummy
panel, ensure that you plug it back in five minutes.
 Before installing a card, check the signal pins and connectors on the backplane of the card.
 If you feel a resistance when inserting a card, pull it out and make sure that you are inserting a
card of the correct type to a correct slot in a correct direction. Do not force in the card.
 Exercise care when installing a fan unit. Do not touch fan blades when a fan unit is working.
 The cards are valuable and fragile. Users should treat them with great care.
 Prevent the circuit surfaces of cards from contacting each other, to avoid shorting or scratching.
 If the unpacked card is a spare one, it will not be installed immediately. Pack the card with its
original ESD protection bag and put it in a dry and cool place, keeping it away from sunlight and
strong electromagnetic radiation sources.

11 Rules for Binding Cables

Note
All cables on the installation site should be laid out independently and bound separately by type.
And the optical fibers should be bound with fiber binding straps.

Rules for Binding Optical Fibers

Rules Diagram

 Binding intervals between fiber binding

straps for all optical fibers are equal.
 When bundling optical fibers, ensure
that binding intervals between fiber
binding straps is 20 cm.
 Do not twist, bend, stretch or squeeze
optical fibers when connecting them.
 The bending radius ("R") of optical
fibers should not be smaller than 10 D R
Fiber binding strap
("D" refers to the diameter of optical
fibers) and should not be smaller than
30 mm.

 Optical fibers should contact the loop

side instead of the hook side of fiber
binding straps.
 Neatly dress the fibers before bundling
them with the fiber binding straps.
 Bind optical fibers with fiber binding
straps with appropriate tightness.
 Try not cross or twist optical fibers
when routing them.

19
 Rules for Binding Cables

Rules Diagram

 Binding intervals between cable ties for all

cables are equal.
 Keep the bound cables neat. The horizontal
cables should be bound with proper and equal
spacing between the cable ties.

 Do not join several cable ties to make a longer

one and bind cables with it, which may reduce
the binding force.
 The cable ties are arranged in good order.
The extra parts of the ties are cut from the root
without leaving sharp points.

When bundling cables, make sure that the

binding interval between cable ties meets the
requirements below:

Diameter
 When the diameter of a cable bundle is less
than 10 mm, the binding interval is 150 mm.
 When the diameter of a cable bundle is Interval between
between 10 mm and 30 mm, the binding cable ties
interval is 200 mm.
 When the diameter of a cable bundle is no
less than 30 mm, the binding interval is 300
mm.

 When binding the bent cables, bind them at

both sides of the bend. Do not bind them
midway through the bend; otherwise, the
cores inside the cables may be broken.
 The bending radius ("R") of the cables shall
meet the following requirements ("D" refers to R Cable tie
the cable diameter):
 Cables for general use: R ≥ 2 D.
 Radio frequency cables: R ≥ 15 D in
common conditions; R ≥ 10 D in extreme
conditions.

 Arrange the cables inside a cabinet from far to

near, that is, arrange the farthest cable first,
placing it at the bottom of the cabling area.
 Try not to cross or twist the cables when
laying them out.

12 Post-Installation Inspection

12.1 Checking Layout of Wires and Cables

Caution
When the connection and layout of cables and wires are completed, installers should conduct the
connectivity test and ensure that signals are transmitted normally.
No. Items to Be Checked Method

The specifications, routes, cross-sectional areas and positions of the cables

1 arranged are compliant with the construction drawing. The cables are Visual inspection
arranged in good order, without damage to their sheath.

The cable plugs are clean and intact, and the plugs made onsite are up to
2 Visual inspection
standard. The connectors are correctly and firmly connected.

When cables must be arranged along the upper part of the cabinet, the
distance between them and the ventilation hole on the cabinet top should be
3 no less than 10 cm. Visual inspection
If the distance between the cabling rack and the cabinet is larger than 0.8 m,
installers should set up a cabling ladder.
Layout of fiber pigtails:
 Fiber pigtails are not arranged too closely to each other or intertwined at
the turning points. The paired fiber pigtails are bound after being arranged
in order. Do not bind with too much force and leave pressure marks on the
4 fiber pigtails. Visual inspection
 Fiber pigtails can move forward or backward freely in the fiber fastener but
cannot bend in right angle.
 The routed fiber pigtails are protected from being pressed against other
cables or objects.
