3.1 Cabinet Installation Mode

Cabinet Installation Description
ZXSDR BS8900A C100 is an outdoor equipment that is directly floor-mounted. It can be
installed at a hill or roof. In general, a simple fence or house is required around the base
station where the equipment is installed in the hill or under a tower.
A concrete platform needs to be set up before the cabinet installation to protect the base
station equipment and ensure the normal usage of the communications equipment.
ZXSDR BS8900A C100 has three types of cabinets, that is, the baseband power cabinet,
RF cabinet, and power cabinet. These cabinets can be stacked or installed side by side.
The base does not accompany the delivery of these cabinets. The base needs to be
installed before the floor-mounted cabinet installation.
Concrete Platform Description

A concrete platform needs to be set up before the cabinet installation. The cabinet is
installed onto the platform and certain operation space is reserved. Do not directly install
the expansion bolts on the roof. The dimensions of the concrete platform are as follows:
l Stacked cabinets

4.3 Installing the Batteries

Prerequisite
l The battery box has already been installed.
l Deploy relevant cables before placing the battery box; otherwise, it may be difficult to
deploy cables.
Caution!
If only four batteries are used, the unconnected terminals for batteries must be wrapped
up with insulation materials.
Context
Figure 4-11 shows the interior layout of the battery box.
The battery box can be configured with up to two battery groups and each battery group
has four 12 V batteries in serial connection. Make sure that the dimensions and weight
of the selected batteries are applicable to the battery box before installing these batteries
into the battery box.
l Every battery rack supports 260 kg at most, that is, each battery is 65 kg at most.
l The available space of each battery rack is 490 mm x 350 mm x 540 mm (width x
height x depth). When the battery spacing is 2 mm, at least 12 mm is reserved in
height and depth. In this way, the left and right sides of each battery group is at least 9
mm away from the inner wall of the battery box for electrical safety. Figure 4-12 shows
the requirements for installation space of batteries. Table 4-1 shows the requirements
for battery dimensions

Depth (D) D = 540 mm D1 ≥ 12 mm D2 ≤ 528 mm D2 ≤ 528 mm
Note:
W2 = W3 x 4 + battery spacing x 3, W1 =(W-W2)/2; H1 = H-H2; D1 = D-D2
When only four batteries are configured, place them on the low battery rack; when
eight batteries are configured, place them on the upper and lower batter racks, with
four batteries on each.
l According to the dimensions of batteries and their spacing, calculate W1 (spacing

between the right and left sides of the battery group and the inner wall of the battery
box), H1 (spacing between the top of the battery group and the inner wall of the battery
box), and D1 (spacing between the rear side of the battery group and the inner wall of
the battery box) and then input relevant values into the "Actual Spacing" in Table 4-2.

Steps
1. Use the multimeter to check whether each battery is functioning properly by measuring
the voltage of its terminals.
Batteries from different suppliers may have varying voltage ranges. For details, see
relevant battery user guide to learn the supported voltage range of a battery. If the
detected voltage of a battery is out of the normal range, it indicates that the battery is
faulty. Replace the fault battery with a new one of the same type and from the same
supplier.
4-13

2. Place batteries one by one onto the battery rack by following the polarity directions
and actual spacing requirements specified in Figure 4-13.
Caution!
l Read carefully the battery precautions (such as safety requirements when
carrying batteries) and learn about the correct battery connections before
any operations on batteries. Improper operations on batteries may incur
dangers. Avoid short circuits or electrolyte overflow during operations on
batteries. Electrolyte overflow poses latent threat to the equipment because it
corrodes metallic objects or circuit boards and damages the equipment (such as
short-circuiting the circuit board).
l The wiring terminals of batteries must be placed facing outwards to avoid impact
on battery connections.
l Place the battery groups in the middle and reserve at least 9 mm from the left and
right sides and top of each battery group to the inner wall of the battery box for
electrical safety, so as to avoid short circuits caused by wiring terminals' contact
with the inner wall or even fire.
