If other cables have the same problem, replace these cables. Checking the Appearance of Connectors  Do not use connectors with visible defects, damage, rust or scuffing.  Do not use connectors if their shells or pins have exposed part or uneven plating, or their pins are lost, broken, or bent.  Do not use connectors that have dirt on their pins or in their jacks or if there are conductors between pins or between pins and the shell.
AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.29 Precautions for Assembly  Use dedicated tools or tools delivered by Huawei and follow the methods given here during assembly.  Hold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables themselves when installing or removing cable components.  Take the following precautions when cutting or stripping cables: − Make cables slightly longer than necessary. − Coil cables longer than 2 m (6.56 ft) after cutting. Bind and fasten the coils using bundling ropes. The inner diameters of the coils should be larger than 20 times the outer diameters of the cables. − When stripping the jackets of cables, avoid damaging the shield layers (braid or aluminum foil), insulation, core conductors, and other jackets that do not need to be stripped. − After assembling cables, cut all visible cross sections of jackets to ensure that the cross sections are arranged neatly. − Do not touch the core conductors of cables with your hands. Terminate exposed conductors in a timely way after stripping off insulation so that the surface of the conductors does not become oxidized.  Take the following precautions when crimping and connecting cables or connectors: − The terminals and conductors should be connected tightly after they are crimped. They should not be moved or turned. − Cut all the exposed copper wires. − Try to avoid a second crimping of sleeves. − Keep all the conductors clean and aligned. The connectors, cables, and tools provided by different vendors may be different.

AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.53 ----End 5.1.4 Installing Cable Accessories Precautions for Installing Cable Accessories Tools The illustrations in this document may differ from actual situations, but the installation methods are the same. For example, in this document, the adapters of cable connectors have separate interfaces. In the actual situation, the adapters may have interfaces fixed on equipment. Use dedicated tools provided or specified by Huawei and follow the installation procedure described here. Bending Radius Unless otherwise specified, bending radius (R) of cables or fibers must meet the requirements listed in Table 5-9. Table 5-9 Bending radius of cables or fibers Cable or Fiber Bending Radius (R) Ordinary cable In normal cases, R ≥ 2d. When the cable is connected with a connector, R ≥ 5d. Fiber R ≥ 40 mm (1.57 in.); Bending angle > 90° The letter d indicates the diameter of a cable or fiber. Precautions for Installation  Hold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables themselves when installing or removing cable components.  Do not insert a connector forcibly when the connector is blocked. Use a dedicated tool to pull out the connector. Install the connector again after you check that the pins are inserted properly.  Before tightening screws on cable connectors, ensure that the connectors are properly connected to their adapters. Tighten the screw with appropriate force using a flat-head or Phillips screwdriver instead of bare hands or an electric screwdriver. If the screw cannot be screwed into the tapped hole, determine the reason and try again. Do not apply too much force, or the screw or adapter may be damaged.  When removing densely aligned cables or fiber connectors, use dedicated pliers such as cable-pulling pliers and fiber-pulling pliers.  Do not twist, bend, stretch, or extrude fibers during installation.  Cover the idle fiber connectors with dust caps. Remove the dust caps before using the fiber connectors.
AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.54 Requirements for Cable Routing  To protect cables, remove the burrs in the cable through-holes or install protective rings in the holes.  To ease the connection and to avoid stress, keep cable joints slack. After connecting multiple cables to a connector that has multiple interfaces, keep the cables slack to avoid generating stress.  Bind or clean cables gently because cable distortion affects signal quality.  Keep cables away from moveable components such as doors.  Sharp objects must not touch cable wiring to prevent damage to cables.  To protect power cables, route power cables of the active and standby power modules separately.

In addition to meeting the requirements of the server load, the AC power supply must have a simple connection line, safe operation, flexible scheduling, and easy maintenance. The low-voltage power supply should be 3-phase, 5-wire mode or monophase 3-wire mode. This AC power supply should be 110 V/220 V, with a frequency of 50 Hz. The UPS should supply the same power and operate at the same phase as the power mains. The switching time between the UPS and mains should be less than 10 ms; otherwise, the networking devices will reboot or reset. For power distribution capacity in the equipment room, both the working current and fault current of the devices should be considered. Ensure that independent AC power supplies protect independent devices. Configure the current-carrying capacity of the protection switch of the equipment room for more than that of the devices. Table 5-14 lists the voltage range of the AC power supply for the devices. Table 5-14 Voltage range of AC power supply Item Requirements AC power capacity to support the devices -10% to +5% of the rated voltage AC power capacity to support the power modules and important buildings -15% to +10% of the rated voltage Frequency of alternating current -4% to +4% of the rated value Voltage wave shape sine distortion Within 5% of the rated voltage The automated electric generator must have a standard interface that supports telecommunication protocols, remote telecommunication, monitoring, and control. AC power cables should meet the following specifications:  AC neutral should have a conductor with the same cross section as the phase line.  AC cables should have non-flammable insulation. The layout of AC cables should comply with local regulations. Low-voltage power distribution rooms should comply with local regulations. Recommendations for AC Power Supply The following are recommendations for the AC power supply.
AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.81  If the voltage of the power mains that supply power directly to devices exceeds the rated voltage by -10% to 5%, or exceeds the voltage range that devices can support, a voltage regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.  If the mains do not supply power for the device directly, or if the mains voltage exceeds the rated voltage by -15% to 10% or exceeds the input voltage range of the DC power supply, a voltage regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.  A UPS or inverter power supply system is required to provide uninterrupted AC power to support the telecommunication load.  If abnormalities occur on the mains, telecommunication servers should be equipped with a self-supplied electric generator to support the key telecommunication load. The capacity should be not less than 150% to 200% of the total uninterruptible power supply.  Storage batteries are usually installed in a parallel connection of two groups. UPS storage batteries are generally installed in one group. The redundancy required for the UPS can rely on concatenation or parallel connection. When an inverter or a UPS is used, the active inverter is determined by the maximum power and a backup inverter is required. Requirements for DC Power Supply The equipment room should receive stable and reliable DC power. Deploy the power equipment near the telecommunications equipment to make the DC feeder as short as possible. To reduce power consumption and installation cost, the loop voltage drop from the battery port to the equipment port should be less than 3.2 V.  A large-scale enterprise can deploy an independent power supply system on each floor to supply power to the telecommunications equipment room on the respective floor.  A medium-scale enterprise can use a power room and a battery room for centralized power supply or use distributed power supply systems.  A small-scale enterprise can deploy an integrated power supply system in its equipment room but must take measures to prevent corrosive gases released from batteries from eroding circuit boards of telecommunications equipment. Table 5-15 lists the specifications for the DC power supply. Table 5-15 Specifications for the DC power supply Item Requirements DC power capacity to support the surge current Greater than 1.5 times the rated current Regulated voltage precision If the AC input voltage is in the range of 85% to 110% of the rated value, and the load current is in the range of 5% to 100% of the rated value, the output voltage of the rectifier ranges from -46.0 V to -56.4 V, with the regulated voltage precision less than or equal to 1%.

AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.86 Type and Structure Label for Signal Cables The label for signal cables is L-shaped with fixed dimensions, as shown in Figure 5-81. Figure 5-81 Label for signal cables To specify more clearly the position of a cable, use the dividing lines on the label. For example, there is a dividing line between the cabinet number and the chassis number, and another one between the chassis number and the slot number. Each dividing line is light blue (Pantone 656c) and 1.5 mm x 0.6 mm (0.06 in. x 0.02 in.). The cut dotted line helps to fold the label when affixed to the cable, and its size is 1 mm x 2 mm (0.04 in. x 0.08 in.). The word "TO:" (upside down in the figure) at the lower right corner of the label is used to identify the opposite end of the cable on which the label is affixed. Power Cable Label The label for power cables should be attached to the identification plate on the cable ties that are attached to the cable. The identification plate has an embossed area 0.2 mm x 0.6 mm (0.008 in. x 0.02 in.) around (symmetric on both sides), and the area in the middle is for affixing the label, as shown in Figure 5-82.

Printing is recommended for the sake of high efficiency and eye-pleasant layout. Template for Printing You can obtain a template from the Huawei local office to print labels. The template is made in Microsoft Word. Follow these instructions to use the template:
AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.88  You can modify the contents of the template. Do not change settings of centered characters, direction, and fonts.  If many characters need to be filled in, decrease the font size, but make sure that the printouts are clear and legible. Merging Cells in the Template To merge two or more cells, do as follows: 1. Select Edit/Select All. 2. Select Format/Borders and Shading/Borders. Select Box tab and click OK. 3. Drag the mouse to select cells to be merged and select the Table/Merge Cells. Requirements on the Printer To print labels, use a laser jet printer of any model. Before printing labels, set up the page and try printing. 1. Try printing on ordinary paper with both sides blank. Place the blank paper over the whole page of the label paper, and check whether the page setup conforms to the label layout. 2. Make sure the printer properties, such as "paper size" and "direction", have been set correctly. − If the printout conforms to the sheet of labels, print the labels on the label paper. − If the printout does not conform, adjust the page setup and try printing again until the correct printout is produced. The method for adjusting the page setup is as follows. 1. Select File/Page Setup. 2. Select Layout and set Header and Footer as 0. 3. Select the Margins tab page. Select Left for Gutter Position and adjust the values of Top, Bottom, Left, and Right. If the warning prompt as shown in Figure 5-83 appears before printing, click Ignore to continue the printing. Figure 5-83 Warning prompt before printing After the page setup has been made correctly, save it for future use. This page setup is only necessary the first time you use the template to print the labels.
AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.89 Requirements for Feeding the Printer The label paper consists of two layers and has undergone multiple processing procedures such as printing and cutting. No matter what model of printer you use, feed in the labels one page at a time. To avoid jamming the labels, never use the auto-feed mode. Feed in the label paper in the correct direction to ensure that the text is printed in a correct position. Requirements for the Printed Label Make sure that the printed labels satisfy the following requirements:  All the printouts must be on the label, and nothing should be printed on the backing layer of the label page.  Contents in the cells should be aligned in the center. In a single-line printout, the dividing lines and the word "TO:" should not be covered by printed characters.  When the cells are merged and the printouts are made in multiple lines, avoid covering the word "TO:" when printing the text. Use the space bar to move the text to the next line. Writing Labels Writing Tools To make sure the printouts are clear and legible, use black markers instead of ball-point pens to write the labels. If no marker is available, black ball-point pens are allowed, although not recommended. Compared with ball-point pens, water-proof markers are better. When writing with a ball-point pen, do not leave the oil on the label, which may contaminate the label and blur the words. The delivered marker has two nibs. Use the smaller nib to write the labels. Font For the sake of legibility, use standard block letters and numbers as shown in Table 5-21 (Times New Roman). Table 5-21 Standard typeface for handwriting 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Determine the size of characters based on the number of letters or digits and ensure that the characters are distinct and tidy.

Here, the DC power cables also include power cables and PGND cables. The labels for DC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties. For details of the labels, see Table 5-26. Table 5-26 Contents of the label Content Meaning
AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.99 Content Meaning MN(BC)-B--48Vn MN(BC): BC is written right under MN. B: chassis number, numbered in bottom-up order with two digits, for example, 01. N: power socket number, numbered as 1 to 3 in the bottom-up and left-to-right orders. On the loaded cabinet side, only MN is used to identify the cabinet. On the power cabinet side, MN identifies the row and column number of the power distribution equipment like a control cabinet and distribution box, and BC identifies the row and column number of the -48 V connector. If there is no row number or column number, or the connector can be identified without them, BC can be omitted. It is unnecessary to identify the row and column number for BGND and PGND. MN(BC)-B-BGND MN(BC)-B-PGND The label only carries location information about the destination direction of the power cable whereas information about the local end is unnecessary. That is, the label only carries location information about the opposite equipment, the control cabinet, or the distribution box. Table 5-26 lists the information on two -48 V power supplies on the label. The information on other DC voltages, such as 24 V and 60 V should be given in similar methods. Make sure that labels are affixed in the correct direction. That is, after the cable ties are bundled onto the cable, the identification plates with the labels should face up, and the text on the labels in the same cabinet should be in the same direction. For details, see Figure 5-93. Figure 5-93 Example of the labels for DC power cables The meaning of the label in Figure 5-93 is as follows:  On the loaded cabinet side, the label "A01/B08--48V2" on the cable indicates that the cable is -48 V DC supply, which is from the eighth connector in row B of -48 V bus bar in the cabinet in row A, and column 1 in the equipment room.  On the distribution box side, the label "B03--48V2" indicates that the cable is -48 V DC supply, connected to DC power socket 2 in row B, column 03 in the equipment room. In the power distribution box or the first power cabinet of a row in a transmission equipment room, every terminal block on the -48 V connector bar has a numeric identification. For example, in the above label of "A01/B08--48V2", "08" (or sometimes "8") is the numeric identification of the terminal block.
AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.100 PGND and BGND are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are short-circuited. Therefore, it makes no difference which terminal is connected to them. It is only necessary to give the row and column of the power distribution box, instead of giving the specific serial number of the terminal block on the copper bar. For example, if the label on the loaded cabinet side is "A01-BGND", it means that the power cable is a BGND that connects BGND copper bar in the power distribution box in row A, column 01 in the machine room. Information on the labels for PGND cables should be given in a similar way. Engineering Labels for AC Power Cables These labels are affixed to both ends of an AC power cable that provides AC power supply to cabinets, including 110/220 V, PGND, and BGND cables. The 110/220 V AC cables and related PGND and BGND cables are covered with an insulating sheath, so the labels need to contain only the word "AC" and the cabinet numbers. The labels for AC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties. For details, see Table 5-27. Table 5-27 Label content Content Meaning MN-(B)-ACn MN: serial number of the cabinet or the socket where the power is led in B: chassis number, numbered in bottom-up order with two digits, for example, 01. n: power port number, numbered as 1 to 3 in bottom-up and left-to-right order. Serial number of the socket where the power is led in: the location of the socket is marked according to the actual situation. If the sockets can be identified by row numbers and column numbers, they can be numbered following the same rule for the cabinets. If the sockets cannot be identified by rows and columns, specify the detailed locations to avoid confusion with other sockets. The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment and the power socket; information about the local end is unnecessary. Make sure that labels are affixed in the correct direction. That is, after the cable ties are bundled onto the cable, the identification plates with the labels should face up, and the text on the labels in the same cabinet should be in the same direction, as shown in Figure 5-94.

You are advised to use Huawei-certified optical modules. Obtain the electronic label of the optical module and contact technical support personnel to confirm whether it is a Huawei-certified optical module. 1. An optical module is not completely installed in position. If the optical module is not completely installed in position and the latch boss is not secured, the device cannot identify the optical module. After the optical module works for a long time, it will be ejected under external stress. 2. The optical receptacle on an optical module is contaminated. If an optical module is not cleaned or protected properly, contaminants may accumulate on the fiber pin in the optical module. As a result, the coupling efficiency is reduced, optical signals are cut off, or even worse, the surface of the fiber pin is damaged permanently. 3. An optical module is burnt. If high-power optical signals (caused by an optical time domain reflectometer or self-loop test) are transmitted through an optical module that is used for long-distance transmission but no optical attenuator is used, the optical power will exceed the overload power of the avalanche photodiode (APD). Then the optical module is burnt. The preceding faults lead to temporary or long-term cut-off of optical signals; or even cause permanent damages to the optical module, affecting communication services.
AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.102 Measures to Prevent a Loosened Optical Module 1. When installing an optical module, insert it in position. If you hear a click or feel a slight shake, it indicates that the latch boss is secured. If the latch boss is not secured, the gold finger of the optical module is not in good contact with the connector on the board. In this case, the link may be connected but optical signals will be cut off or the optical module will be loosened when the optical module is shaken or hit. 2. Figure 5-95 shows the release handle on an optical module when it is open and closed. When inserting the optical module, make sure that the release handle is closed. At this time, the latch boss locks the optical module. After the optical module is inserted, try pulling it out to see if it is installed in position. If the optical module cannot be pulled out, it is secured. Figure 5-95 State of the release handle Close the release handle Open the release handle Measures to Prevent Receptacle Contamination 1. Cleaning tissues must be prepared on site. You need to clean the optical connector before inserting it in the receptacle. This protects the receptacle against contamination on the surface of the optical connector. Figure 5-96 Cleaning optical fibers with special cleaning tissues Place at least three cleaning tissues on the work bench. As shown in Figure 5-96, wipe the end of an optical connector from left to right or from right to left on a cleaning tissue, and then move the connector end to the unused part of the cleaning tissue to continue.
AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.103 2. Cover an unused optical module with a protective cap to prevent dust, as shown in Figure 5-97. Figure 5-97 Installing a protective cap If no protective cap is available, use fibers to protect the optical module, as shown in Figure 5-98. Figure 5-98 Using fibers to protect an optical module 3. Cover unused optical connectors with protective caps, as shown in Figure 5-99, and then lay out fibers on the fiber rack or coil them in a fiber management tray to prevent fibers from being squeezed. Figure 5-99 Installing a protective cap on a fiber 4. If a receptacle or an optical connector has not been used for a long time and is not covered with a protective cap, you need to clean it before using it. Clean a receptacle with a cotton swab, as shown in Figure 5-100. Clean an optical connector with cleaning tissues.
AP4050DN-HD Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 Appendix Issue 01 (2016-04-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.104 Figure 5-100 Cleaning a receptacle with a cotton swab When cleaning a receptacle, insert the cotton swab and turn it slowly in the receptacle. Do not use too much strength because the receptacle may be damaged. 5. If optical signals are lost during the operation of a device, use the preceding method to clean the receptacle or the optical connector. In this manner, the possibility of contamination can be excluded. Measures to Prevent an Optical Module from Being Burnt 1. Before using an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) to test the connectivity or the attenuation of optical signals, disconnect the optical fibers from the optical module. Otherwise, the optical module will be burnt. 2. When performing a self-loop test, use an optical attenuator. Do not loosen the optical connector instead of the optical attenuator. Precautions 1. The optical connector should be vertically inserted in the receptacle to avoid damages to the receptacle. 2. Fibers must be inserted into optical modules of the corresponding type. That is, multimode fibers must be inserted into multimode optical modules, and single mode fibers must be inserted into single mode optical modules. If a fiber is inserted into an optical module of a different mode, faults may occur. For example, optical signals will be lost. 5.6 Fault Tag *Customer name: Address: Contact person: Tel.: Fax: Category*: □ RMA □ Return □ Analysis
