Equipment Installation
Modes
As per the ZXMP M820 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, ZXMP
M820 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.
� 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 mount-
ing 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.
� Subrack front-flange installation
It applies to installing subrack in other cabinet that complies
with ETS standard. It differs from subrack rear-flange installa-
tion 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.

 ZXMP M820 Installation Manual

Note:
� ZTE transmission equipment cabinet is delivered to user with-
out special claim. Rear flanges are equipped and subrack rear-
flange installation mode should be employed.
� If user needs to install subrack in other cabinet complying
with ETS standard, ZTE can deliver front flanges which sup-
port other cabinet complying with ETS standard.
� No matter using subrack front-flange installation or subrack
rear-flange installation, operation and maintenance of equip-
ment 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.

Operation Precautions
� 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.
� 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.
� 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.
� Avoid plugging/unplugging a board when it is powered.

 ZXMP M820 Installation Manual

FIGURE 85 FLOWCHART OF LAYING EXTERNAL CABLES

General Requirements for

External Cable Layout
Preparations for External Cable
Layout
� Before cabling, check if cable appearance is intact, if factory
delivery records and quality certifications are complete.
� Check the cable specification and length according to the re-
quirements of equipment and contract.
� Make cable connectors according to the cable connector type.
Generally, the cable connector at ZXMP M820 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.
� 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.
� According to the destination board slot location, design the ca-
bling route inside the equipment. It is also necessary to con-
sider future equipment capacity expansion.

132 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

 Chapter 9 External Cables Layout and Connection

� All cables that need tube protection should be covered by cable

sleeves.

External Cable Layout Requirements

� Routing direction and layout position of cables should com-
ply with the requirement of construction drawings. The length
of each cable should be decided according to the actual ca-
bling distance. The laid cables should not have broken wires
or joints.
� If equipment room employs top cabling mode, the vertical dis-
tance between top cabling trough and cabinet top should be
not less than 200 mm.
� In case of cabling, do not drag or squeeze cable. For cables
laid along wall, protect them with protection tubes.
� 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.
� Cables should be straight, smooth, and inside the trough with-
out blocking other cables inlets/outlets. At trough outlet or
corner, all cables should be bound well and fixed.
� When optical fibers, cables and power cables are laid in the
same cable trough, they should be arranged separately without
overlapping or mixing.
� 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.
� Check if mouse-proof bag is packed tightly after external cables
are laid.

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 ca-
bling order to prevent them from being twisted together. Ca-
bles should be straight and smooth. The cable straps of hori-
zontal cables should be distributed evenly. The vertical cables
should be vertical to the ground after being bound, as shown
in Figure 86.

134 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

 Chapter 9 External Cables Layout and Connection

FIGURE 86 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 bind-
ing, trim the remaining ends of the cable straps from the roots.
Do not leave sharp nose, as shown in Figure 87.

FIGURE 87 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 88.

FIGURE 88 SPACE BETWEEN CABLE STRAPS OF CABLE BUNDLE

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 135

 ZXMP M820 Installation Manual

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
89.

FIGURE 89 CABLE STRAPS AT THE CORNER OF CABLE BUNDLE

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 90.

FIGURE 90 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.

Preparations for Fiber Pigtail Layout

Complete the following preparations before laying fiber pigtails:
1. Check the appearance integrity, factory record and quality cer-
tification of fiber pigtails.
2. Check the specification, length and connector types of fiber
pigtails according to the design and contract requirements.
3. To ensure that fiber pigtail connections are consistent with ac-
tual networking situation, draw an optical fiber connection di-
agram based on the equipment networking. In this diagram,
mark the slot number of optical board and the optical interface
number of initial/terminal NE for each optical connection.
4. Design the layout routes of fiber pigtails according to the po-
sitions of optical interfaces to be connected as well as possible
future capacity expansion.
5. Prepare fiber pigtail labels.
6. Fiber pigtails should pass through protection pipes before they
are laid. Each protection pipe can hold multiple fiber pigtails,
but no more than 12. Tie fiber pigtails with nylon adhesive
hook-and-loop tape before putting them through a pipe and
pay attention to protect fiber pigtail connectors. The length
of protection pipes should be decided according to engineering
drawings and locale situation.

Laying Fiber Pigtail

laid include internal fiber pigtails and external fiber pigtails.
� Internal fiber pigtails: fiber pigtails inside the same cabinet, in-
cluding inter-subrack fiber pigtails and intra-subrack fiber pig-
tails.
� External fiber pigtails: fiber pigtails coming into or out of a
cabinet and fiber pigtails between cabinets.
Steps 1. Lay internal fiber pigtail
i. Plug one connector of internal fiber pigtail into the corre-
sponding board optical interface in subrack.
ii. Lay internal fiber pigtail vertically and lead it to the cabling
trough of subrack. Lead it through the cabling hole at the
subrack side.
iii. Lay internal fiber pigtail to corresponding subrack through
cabling areas at the cabinet two sides.
iv. Lead internal fiber pigtail through the cabling hole at sub-
rack side, and lead it to the corresponding board optical
interface.
v. Plug the other connector of internal fiber pigtail into the
corresponding board optical interface.

Requirements for Fiber Pigtail Layout

� 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 63. The permissible minimum bending radiuses
of fiber pigtails are listed in Table 64.

� During laying fiber pigtails, turn them as little as possible. Bind

fiber pigtails with proper force and avoid binding too tightly.
� 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.
� Protection pipes should be cut before use. The cut of protec-
tion 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.
� Routing and reserved length of fiber pigtails at the equipment
side and ODF side should satisfy the requirements of engineer-
ing drawings and installation.
� It is suggested to lead fiber pigtail protection pipe to 5 cm
above/below the subrack installation tray of the ZXMP M820
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.
� Remaining fiber pigtails inside cabinet should be coiled in fiber
coiling plate or fiber coiling box. Fiber pigtails should be coiled
without twist.

154 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

 Chapter 9 External Cables Layout and Connection

� Determine the laying positions of fiber pigtails as per the di-

agrams given in Connection Diagrams of External Cables and
Connection Diagrams of Internal Cables. Note that fiber pig-
tails laid should not plugging/unplugging boards or fan plug-in
box.
� 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.
� 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.
� 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.
� Direction and route of fiber pigtails should meet the regulations
in engineering drawing design files.

there are clips at the two sides of connector, the cable cannot
be pulled out unless the clips are pressed. Pull cable vertically
and the cable should not be pulled out.
4. Confirm sockets and connectors have no missing or bent pin.
5. Check cable layout and binding as per the following require-
ments:
� Cables should be laid according to the specified locations.
Fiber pigtails and cables that are laid along the walls should
be protected with protection pipes.
� Cables should not be strained tight at corners, so that ca-
ble roots and connectors can be free from pull. The cable
bending radius should satisfy the relevant requirements.
� Cables in troughs and on cabling ladders should be ar-
ranged tidily and bound into bundles. And there should
be no damage to the cable sheath.

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 be-
fore adjusting optical fibers, cutting over traffic, or replacing DRA
board.

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.
END OF STEPS

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 213

 ZXMP M820 Installation Manual

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

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 main-
tenance 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 sur-
faces 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:
i. Set the gain of the DRA board to 10 dB. Measure the gain
and gain flatness using a spectrometer. Adjust the pump

214 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

 Chapter 15 DRA Board Operations

power of the DRA board through the EMS system until the
gain reaches 6 dB and the optimal gain flatness is achieved.
ii. 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 re-
lated 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.
