1.3 Installation Precautions

The following precautions must be noted for hardware installation:

l Non-professionals should not install or debug the system unless they are instructed
by professionals on the site.
l Installation personnel must be very careful of personal safety, and avoid accidents
such as electric shocks or personal injury due to falling objects.
l To avoid eye injury caused by laser beams, installation personnel must not directly
look at the cross-section of any optical fiber or the socket of an optical terminal during
the installation of optical fibers.
l Replacing any part or a device might result in unexpected dangers. Therefore,
replacement of any part or a device can be implemented only after authorization is
acquired.
l To ensure your safety, contact ZTE Corporation if you have any question.

ZXMW NR8950 Installation
Installation Modes
l In accordance with installation types, the ZXMW NR8950 installation falls into two
types: buckle installation and split installation.
l In accordance with the configured amount of the ZXMW NR8950 and antenna, the
ZXMW NR8950 installation falls into two types: installation with a combiner and
installation without any combiner.
For ZXMW NR8950 installation modes, refer to Table 2-1.

Adjusting Polarization Mode

This procedure describes how to adjust the ZXMW NR8950 polarization mode during the
installation process. Here, the vertical polarization adjustment is used as an example.
1. Loose the guide screws anticlockwise, and remove the guide pin from the guide hole,
see Figure 2-1.
