4 Installing Boards

If the cabinet is not grounded, first connect the PGND wiring terminal on the left of the cabinet to the external grounding bar. For details, see section 6.3 "Installing PGND Cables." Keep the ESD wrist strap in good condition. Its resistance should be between 0.75 Mega ohms and 10 Mega ohms. Typically, the life expectancy of the ESD wrist strap lasts for about two years. Replace the strap when the resistance falls beyond the specified range.

Figure 4-2 Wearing an antistatic wrist strap

1 2

(1) ESD connector (3) Antistatic wrist strap

(2) ESD plug

The antistatic wrist strap cannot prevent static electricity from being generated by friction between a board and your clothes. Ensure that boards are not in contact with your clothes. Clean up the subracks. Check whether there are any bent, missed, or broken pins on the backplane.

If there is any bent pin, replace it or straighten it with a pair of nipper pliers in case of an emergency. If there is any missed pin, replace the backplane. If the deformation is not obvious, adjust the socket using a pair of nipper pliers. If the deformation is serious, replace the backplane or the board.

Check whether the sockets on the backplanes and the boards are deformed.

Prepare a #2 crossover screwdriver whose diameter is 6 mm to tighten the M3 captive screws on the board panels. Keep the boards or parts that are not installed in antistatic bags. Place the removed boards or parts on the antistatic pad or other antistatic materials. Never pack or hold the boards or parts using plastic foams, common plastic bags, or paper bags.

7 Checking Hardware Installation

HUAWEI BTS3012AE Base Station Cabinet Installation Manual

Take care of personal safety during the power-on check because high voltage is involved. A fatal accident may occur if you touch the input current directly or indirectly through a wet substance. Before you turn the primary power supply to ON, use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the input power and the earth and check whether they are short-circuited.

7.3.1 Cabinet Power-On Check

Before powering on the cabinet, ensure that the power cables and boards are disconnected. The procedure for power-on check of a cabinet is as follows: Step 1 Set all the power switches to OFF. Step 2 Turn on the DC PDF to power on the cabinet. Step 3 Measure the input voltage of the power distribution box on BTS3012AE cabinet. The range allowed is 60 V to 40 V. If the voltage is within the range, the power-on check is complete. Continue with board power-on check. If the voltage is beyond the range, go to the next step.
The rated voltage of the BTS3012AE cabinet is 48 V.

Step 4 Turn off the DC PDF to cut off the power supply to the cabinet. Step 5 Measure the output voltage of the PDF. Check the installation and layout of power cables on the cabinet top. Clear the faults. Step 6 Measure the output voltage of the PDF again and take the cabinet power-on check. If the results are normal, continue with board power-on check. ----End

7.3.2 Board Power-On Check


Before power-on check of boards, ensure that: The cabinet passes the power-on check. All the power switches are set to OFF. All the cables are connected properly.

The procedure for power-on check of boards is as follows: Step 1 Set the power switch of the FAN subrack to ON. Step 2 Check whether the fan runs normally. If yes, infer that the power supply inside the cabinet is normal. Go to Step 4. If no, infer that the power supply inside the cabinet is not normal. Go to Step 3. Step 3 Check whether the power cable connection of the FAN subrack is good. If no, reinstall the cable, and then repeat Step 1. Step 4 Set the power switch of the common subrack to ON. Step 5 Check whether the indicators of the DTMU in the common subrack flash slowly (0.5 Hz). If yes, infer that the board has normal power supply. Go to Step 7. If no, infer that the board is not properly placed or there are other faults. Go to Step 6. Step 6 Reinstall the boards or clear the faults. Then repeat Step 5.

For details about the status of indicators on boards, see the BTS3012AE Base Station Hardware Description Manual.

Step 7 Set the power switch of the DTRU to ON. Check whether the indicators on the DTRU panels flash slowly (0.5 Hz). If yes, infer that the DTRU has normal power supply. Go to Step 8. If no, infer that the DTRU is not properly placed or there are other faults. Clear the faults and then repeat Step 7. Step 8 Set the power switch of the DAFU subrack to ON, and check whether the indicators on the DDPU panels flash slowly (0.5 Hz). If yes, the DDPU has normal power supply. The power-on check of the board is complete. If the indicators are always on, infer that the DDPU is faulty. Go to Step 9. If the indicators are off, infer that the power supply fails. Go to Step 10. For states other than that mentioned previously, go to Step 11.
The DCOMs in the DAFU subrack do not need power and there are no indicators on them.

Step 9 Check the DDPU and the cable between the DDPU and the serial port on the DTRU. Reinstall the cable and check whether the indicators on the DDPU panel flash slowly (0.5 Hz). If yes, infer that the DDPU has normal power supply. Board power-on check is complete. If no, go to Step 11.
