Equipment Installation Modes.....................................................................................1-1
Installation Flow .........................................................................................................1-2

1.1 Equipment Installation Modes

As per the ZXWM M920 subrack installation position in cabinet, there are two installation
modes: subrack rear-flange installation mode and subrack front-flange installation mode.
To satisfy requirements for installation in different cabinets, ZXWM M920 equipment can
be equipped with various mounting flanges which can be installed in the front part or at the
rear part of the left side or right side of cabinet.
l Subrack rear-flange installation
It applies to installing subrack in ZTE transmission equipment cabinet which complies
with ETS standard. In this mode, mounting flanges are installed at the rear part
of subrack sides. Use captive fasteners to fix mounting flanges to mounting holes
which locate on the rear column of cabinet. The subrack rear-flange installation mode
facilitates cabling and fiber coiling at the side of cabinet.
l Subrack front-flange installation
It applies to installing subrack in other cabinet that complies with ETS standard. It
differs from subrack rear-flange installation in that the mounting flanges are installed
at the front part of subrack sides. In this mode, use screws to fix mounting flanges to
mounting holes which locate on the front column of cabinet.

Note:
l ZTE transmission equipment cabinet is delivered to user without special claim. Rear
flanges are equipped and subrack rear-flange installation mode should be employed.
l If user needs to install subrack in other cabinet complying with ETS standard, ZTE
can deliver front flanges which support other cabinet complying with ETS standard.
l No matter using subrack front-flange installation or subrack rear-flange installation,
operation and maintenance of equipment are performed facing the cabinet front, and
subracks are installed at the same locations in cabinet. The only difference is that the
mounting flanges are installed at different locations.

Figure 1-1 Flowchart Of Hardware Installation

Warning!

Installation should only be carried out by appropriately trained professionals.

The following content briefly describes the main steps of hardware installation:
1. Cabinet installation

For the convenience of project construction, it is recommended to dismount the front

door and back door of cabinet before cabinet installation, and mount them after the
construction.
Determine installation position of cabinet, installation requirements, and installation
methods before cabinet installation.

2. Equipment assembly
Generally, the internal parts, boards and cables of ZXWM M920 have been installed
and connected before delivery. However, some parts of the equipment may get loose
due to vibration during transportation. Therefore, fasten the screws and reinsert any
plug-in if required. Equipment assembly includes the installation of subracks, fan unit,
power distribution box, dustproof unit, DCM plug-in box, antistatic wrist straps, and
boards.

 Chapter 1 Installation Overview

3. Label making
All connections of cables, fiber pigtails, and distribution frames should be properly
marked with labels. It will help during equipment debugging and maintenance. Label
making includes the preparation and sticking of various labels.
4. Internal cable inspection
Internal cable is a cable with both ends connected inside the equipment cabinet.
Internal cables are usually installed before delivery. During hardware installation, it is
necessary to inspect the internal cables including the subrack power cable, subrack
protection ground cable, ring trip cable, fan cable, fan internal cable, fan component
conductor, LED connection cable, and expansion subrack communication cable.
5. Power/ground cable layout
Power cables and ground cables should be laid out at locale. Power/ground cable
layout refers to making and connecting connectors of power cables and ground cables.
6. External cable layout
External cables refer to the cables connecting ZXWM M920 with peripheral equipment.
External cables should be laid out at locale. External cable layout includes the
installation of external power cables, external ground cables, network cables, fiber
pigtails, and alarm input/output cables.
7. EMS computer installation
EMS computers are used to monitor the entire network. A transmission network may
consist of multiple offices/stations. It is not necessary for every office/station to have
an EMS computer. Instead, EMS computers are installed at important offices/stations
from where network needs to be monitored. Normally, only one EMS computer is
installed for one transmission network.
8. Hardware installation inspection
After the installation of all hardware, check the installation and clear the site to prepare
for software installation and system debugging.

4.10.2 Operation Precautions

l Since there are many CMOS components in the board, make sure to wear an
antistatic wrist strap to connect human body with the equipment protection ground. If
the equipment is not connected with the protection ground, the antistatic wrist strap
will not take effect, and other antistatic measure should be taken.
l Generally, there is a bag of desiccant in the antistatic bag of the board, which can
absorb the moisture and keep the inside of the antistatic bag dry. When a board is
carried from a dry place with low temperature to a moist place with high temperature,
wait for at least half an hour before unpacking and installing the board. Otherwise,
moisture will condense the board surface, resulting in board damage.
l While plugging/unplugging a board, keep it upright and use appropriate force to avoid
bending the contact pins. While plugging/unplugging a board with optical interfaces,
handle it carefully to avoid damaging the fiber connectors or coiled fiber pigtails in the
board.
l Avoid plugging/unplugging a board when it is powered.

5.1 RPU Board Installation

Two installation modes can be used to connect RPU board depending on the configuration
of a DWDM system.
l The first installation mode applies to the RPU board of which optical input interface is
connected with fiber optic adapter.
l The second installation mode applies to the RPU board of which optical input interface
is connected with bare fiber. In this mode, splice the bare fiber at the optical input
interface of RPU board with external optical fiber. And use optical fibers to connect
the other optical interfaces of RPU board with fiber optic adapters.

Note:
In the first installation mode, the reflectance of optical input interface end face is higher
than that in the second installation mode. Hence, we suggest using the second mode to
connect the optical input interface of RPU board.

The following describes the installation procedures of RPU board in these two modes.

5.1.1 Installing RPU Board with E2000/APC Connector

5.2.2 Installation Modes for Installing RGU Module in Optical Cable

Connector Box
For different models of optical cable connector box, the installation modes for installing
RGU module in the connector box are different, as described below.

l For buried optical cable connector box and conduit optical cable connector box, RGU
module is directly attached on the mounting bracket of the connector box.
l For aerial optical cable connector box, RGU module is attached or fixed in the con-
nector box.
An aerial optical cable connector box can accommodate one or two RGU modules.
For one RGU module, attach it in the box. For two RGU modules, fix them in the box
with accompany fittings.

5.2.3 Connecting RGU Module and Optical Cable Connector Box

Prerequisites

Note:
Read the instruction book of optical cable connector box before installation.

Steps
1. Take out the RGU module from its package. Check the module and make sure that it
is intact and all fittings are provided.

2. Unscrew the fastening screw of the optical cable connector box and then open the
box.
3. Read the project configuration specification carefully. Determine the connection
relationship between the line optical cable and the RGU module according to the
configuration specification, the description in Connection Relations between RGU
Module and Line Optical Cable, and locale situation.
4. Splice fibers according to the connection relationship.

– End of Steps –

5.2.4 RGU Module Installation Precaution

l During the construction, reserve sufficient length of line optical cable and fiber pigtail
of RGU module for convenient splicing. Generally, the fiber pigtail length of RGU
module should be no less than 3 m, and the part of line optical cable connected in the
connector box should be no less than 3 m.
l Take and place RGU module and fiber reel-in box in the optical cable connector box
gently. Prevent fiber pigtail of RGU module from over bending. The bending radius of
fiber pigtail should be larger than 50 mm.
l All connectors in the optical cable connector box should have identifiers. Place optical
fiber connectors and joints of spliced fibers separately for future distinguishing and
looking up.
l Follow the principle of first-middle later-side while coiling fibers, that is, first place
heat-shrunk tubes in fixing slots one by one and then place surplus fibers at both
sides. If some fibers are too long or too short, coil them separately last. In this way,
the layout of fibers is proper with less additional loss, which allows long-term use of
fibers in unfavorable environment and avoids broken fibers caused by squeezing.
l Every time after coiling fibers, test the coiled fibers one by one and make sure their
additional loss meets the specified requirement. Then test all the fibers together
before sealing the connector box to check whether there is any fiber missing the test
and whether there is any fiber or joint being squeezed. After sealing the connector
box, conduct the final test on all fibers to check whether any fiber is damaged during
the sealing procedure.
l While connecting fibers in field, be sure to seal the optical cable connector box
completely for waterproof and damp-proof purpose.

Figure 8-1 Flowchart of Laying External Cables

8.2 General Requirements for External Cable Layout

8.2.1 Preparations for External Cable Layout
l Before cabling, check if cable appearance is intact, if factory delivery records and
quality certifications are complete.
l Check the cable specification and length according to the requirements of equipment
and contract.
l Make cable connectors according to the cable connector type. Generally, the cable
connector at ZXWM M920 equipment side has been made. While the cable connector
at user side will be made at locale after cabling, or before cabling once the cable length
can be exactly determined.
l When multiple cables are to be placed at the same time, prepare the cable labels and
attach them firmly. If the label contents cannot be completely determined, the cables
can be numbered temporarily to prevent confusion.
l According to the destination board slot location, design the cabling route inside the
equipment. It is also necessary to consider future equipment capacity expansion.
l All cables that need tube protection should be covered by cable sleeves.

8.2.3 External Cable Layout Requirements

l Routing direction and layout position of cables should comply with the requirement of
construction drawings. The length of each cable should be decided according to the
actual cabling distance. The laid cables should not have broken wires or joints.
l If equipment room employs top cabling mode, the vertical distance between top
cabling trough and cabinet top should be not less than 200 mm.
l In case of cabling, do not drag or squeeze cable. For cables laid along wall, protect
them with protection tubes.
l Cables in cable trough should be arranged in order, evenly and smoothly turned. The
cables with an outside diameter of not more than 12 mm should have a bending radius
no less than 60 mm, while the cables with an outer diameter more than 12 mm should
have a radius curve rate no less than 10 times the outside diameter.
l Cables should be straight, smooth, and inside the trough without blocking other cables
inlets/outlets. At trough outlet or corner, all cables should be bound well and fixed.
l When optical fibers, cables and power cables are laid in the same cable trough, they
should be arranged separately without overlapping or mixing.
l If a cable is too long, coil it at the top/bottom of the cabinet or in the middle of the cable
trough. The coiled cable should not pile on other cables.
l Check if mouse-proof bag is packed tightly after external cables are laid.

8.2.4 Requirements for External Cable Binding

1. Select proper cable straps as per the thickness of cable bundle.
2. Cables near connectors should be bound according to the cabling order to prevent
them from being twisted together. Cables should be straight and smooth. The cable
straps of horizontal cables should be distributed evenly. The vertical cables should be
vertical to the ground after being bound, as shown in Figure 8-2.

Figure 8-2 Diagram of Cable Straps Near Connector

3. Do not use connected cable straps to bind cables because it may minimize the binding
strength of cable straps. After binding, trim the remaining ends of the cable straps from
the roots. Do not leave sharp nose, as shown in Figure 8-3.

 Chapter 8 External Cables Layout and Connection

Figure 8-3 Trimming Requirements of Cable Strap

Note:
In the figure, the tick mark indicates correct binding and the cross mark indicates wrong
binding.

4. When cables are bound into bundle, the spaces between cable straps should be 3~4
times of the cable bundle diameter, as shown in Figure 8-4.

Figure 8-4 Space between Cable Straps of Cable Bundle

5. For cable bundle with bend, cable straps should be used at both sides of the bend to
avoid breaking cores, as shown in Figure 8-5.

6. Cables in cabinet should be laid in an orderly manner from far end to the near end. It
means that the longest cables are laid first and are located at the bottom of the cabling
area. Avoid cable overlapping, as shown in Figure 8-6.

Figure 8-6 Laying Cables Inside Cabinet

7. If there are too many cables near the socket area, the cables can be bound into several
sub-bundles. Keep the sub-bundles tidy and straight.

8.6.4 Requirements for Fiber Pigtail Layout

l Fiber pigtail has a very delicate structure. Therefore, it should be held or put gently
and carefully during the operation. Don't drag, press, squeeze forcefully or over bend
the fiber, to avoid breaking or damaging it.
The permissible force bearing capabilities of fiber pigtail are listed in Table 8-12. The
permissible minimum bending radiuses of fiber pigtails are listed in Table 8-13.

l During laying fiber pigtails, turn them as little as possible. Bind fiber pigtails with proper
force and avoid binding too tightly.
l The bare parts of fiber pigtails in the cabling rack, cable trough, or shelf top, as well as
fiber pigtails at the cable leading-in/out positions of equipment cabinet and the corner
of cabling rack, should be fixed and protected with soft protection pipes.

8-24

SJ-20100512144809-005|2011–03–10(R1.7) ZTE Proprietary and Confidential

 Chapter 8 External Cables Layout and Connection

l Protection pipes should be cut before use. The cut of protection pipe is sharp and
is easy to wear and tear fiber pigtail. Therefore, wrap the cut of wavelet pipe with
adhesive tape, so as to protect fiber pigtail from being wore and tore.
l Routing and reserved length of fiber pigtails at the equipment side and ODF side
should satisfy the requirements of engineering drawings and installation.
l It is suggested to lead fiber pigtail protection pipe to 5 cm above/below the subrack
installation tray of the ZXWM M920 cabinet, so that the protection pipe can be fixed.
But the led-in length should not affect the fiber pigtail cabling at the cabinet side or in
the subrack cabling area.
l Remaining fiber pigtails inside cabinet should be coiled in fiber coiling plate or fiber
coiling box. Fiber pigtails should be coiled without twist.
l Determine the laying positions of fiber pigtails as per the diagrams given in Connection
Diagrams of External Cables and Connection Diagrams of Internal Cables. Note that
fiber pigtails laid should not plugging/unplugging boards or fan plug-in box.
l Be careful when connecting fiber pigtails, and pay attention to dust-proof of optical
components. Clean the fiber pigtail connectors using dust-proof paper dipped with
absolute alcohol before connecting them. Do not clean optical interface with alcohol.
l When fiber pigtail is connected to optical interface board with multiple optical
interfaces, the connection should be made from top to bottom and from left to right,
to make the operation easier.
l When fiber pigtails, cable, power cable and ground cable are laid in the same trough,
fiber pigtails with protection pipe should not overlap or mix with other cables. If there
are too many cables and fiber pigtails, they should not overlap. Always place fiber
pigtails above other cables. Forbid placing other cables above fiber pigtails.
l Direction and route of fiber pigtails should meet the regulations in engineering drawing
design files.

C.2 Requirement of Optical Fiber Connector and

Adapter Protection
Fulfill the following requirements when plugging/unplugging or storing optical fibers:
l Prohibit touching optical fiber connector or adapter optical interface with bare hand.
l Do not look straight at optical fiber connector or adapter when plugging/unplugging
optical fiber. Wear a pair of protection glasses if available.
l Check optical power of optical fiber before connecting. If its optical power is greater
than optical fiber adapter's overload optical power, add proper attenuator before the
optical receive interface, and then connect the optical fiber.
l Unplug optical fibers from an optical board before plugging the board.
l Cover optical fiber connector with dust-proof cap when the optical fiber is not in use.
l When a board with optical fiber adapter is not in use, cover the optical fiber adapter
with dust-proof cap, and then store the board properly.

C.3 Cleaning Requirement of Optical Fiber Connector

Optical transmission system uses lots of optical fiber connectors which are easily get
stained during maintenance. Even tiny dust grain observed in microscope may affect
optical signal quality, reduces system performance, and becomes hidden trouble of
reliable network running. Therefore, it is necessary to clean optical fiber connectors. The
requirements for cleaning optical fiber connectors are:
l Use optical fiber microscope to observe optical fiber connector surface. There should
be no contamination.
l Use optical fiber microscope to observe optical fiber connector surface. There should
be no gap, crack, or scratch.
l Use optical fiber microscope to observe optical fiber connector surface. There should
be no burnt mark.
l Use optical fiber microscope to observe optical fiber connector surface. There should
be no more than three dust grains on it.

Caution!
l Before checking optical fiber connector, shut down the laser and disconnect the two
optical connectors at the two ends of the optical fiber.
l Cover optical fiber connector and adapter with dust-proof cap when they are not in
use.

Optical Power Meter and Optical Fiber Microscope

Optical power meter serves to measure optical power of optical fiber.
Optical fiber microscope serves to check if optical interface of optical fiber connector is
stained or damaged. Optical fiber microscope should be able to magnify object at least 20
times. Before using optical microscope to observe optical fiber connector, check optical
power of optical fiber first, so as to ensure that the optical connector has no laser.
Optical power meter and optical fiber microscope are shown in Figure C-1 and Figure C-2.

D.1 DRA Activation Procedures

Before activating DRA board, perform the following steps:
1. Inspect optical lines
2. Inspect end surface of fiber pigtails
3. Debug DRA board

Note:
The inspection and debugging mentioned above are necessary before adjusting optical
fibers, cutting over traffic, or replacing DRA board.

D.2 Inspecting Optical Lines

Steps
1. Use an OTDR to check all optical lines within 50 km from the IN interface of DRA board
. Make sure that the reflectance at the ends of all fiber pigtails is less than -30 dB.

2. Clean end surface of optical fiber connector which does not meet the requirement, and
then check it again until it satisfies the requirement.

D.3 Inspecting Fiber Pigtail End Surface

Steps
1. Clean end surface of all fiber pigtails between the IN interface of DRA board, ODF, and
optical lines. Inspect the end surfaces using an optical microscope and reflectometer.
Make sure that the end surfaces of all fiber pigtails are fine with the reflectance less
than -30 dB.
2. Replace fiber pigtails that have unsatisfactory end surfaces.
3. Check the reflectance of the IN interface of DRA board with a reflectometer, and make
sure it is less than -30 dB. Clean the fiber pigtail connector if it is unsatisfactory. After
that, if it is still unsatisfactory, ask ZTE maintenance engineer to replace the DRA
board.
– End of Steps –

D.4 Debugging DRA Board

Context

Note:
The debugging of DRA board is complicated. The gain of DRA board should be set
and calibrated with a spectrometer. ZTE maintenance personnel are responsible for the
debugging operations. This topic briefs the debugging procedures of DRA board.

Steps
1. Connect fiber pigtails to all the optical fiber connectors of the DRA board.
2. Power on the DRA board. The DRA board automatically turns off the pumps when
there is no optical input.
3. Access optical signals. The DRA board automatically turns on the pumps according
to the preset gain and pump parameters. Check whether there is any over-threshold
alarm of reflectance or reflection power in the EMS system. Check whether the
reflectance is less than -30 dB.
4. If the reflectance is more than -30 dB, check end surfaces of fiber pigtails. Check or
replace the DRA board if the end surfaces are fine. If the reflectance is less than -30
dB, proceed to next step.
5. Perform the RAMAN test. Test the gain of optical switch and gain flatness via the EMS
system and spectrometer. Perform the following steps to adjust the pump configuration
of DRA board based on the RAMAN test results:

D-2

SJ-20100512144809-005|2011–03–10(R1.7) ZTE Proprietary and Confidential

 Appendix D DRA Board Operations

a. Set the gain of the DRA board to 10 dB. Measure the gain and gain flatness using a
spectrometer. Adjust the pump power of the DRA board through the EMS system
until the gain reaches 6 dB and the optimal gain flatness is achieved.
b. Set the gain of the DRA board to 6 dB - 12 dB. Repeat the previous step. Adjust
the pump power at different gains through the EMS system and spectrometer.

Note:
The amplification performance of the DRA board is closely related to the optical fibers.
For G.652 optical fibers, the DRA board can achieve a minimum switch gain of 10 dB.

6. Check whether there is any DRA-related alarm through the EMS system. The DRA
debugging completes if there is no alarm.
