The interval between cable ties on network cables or optical fibers must be within 250 mm.
The interval between cable ties on power cables and ground cables must be within 250 mm.
Binding cables outside the cabinet
The interval between cable ties on cables and corrugated pipes is determined according to the
distance between two beams on the cable tray.
If the cables are routed in a cable trough without beams, ensure that the interval between
cable ties is within 250 mm.
Labels and tags
Attach the label or tag to the signal cable, 20 mm away from the connector.
When the cable is placed vertically, the label or tag should point towards the right.
When the cable is placed horizontally, the label or tag should point downwards.

Do not connect the power cable to the power supply device before the installation is complete.
It is recommended that you separate the power cables from the signal cables.
Do not install both the DC power supply and AC power supply on the same equipment.

installed and have no removable handles. A chassis can be
lifted and installed into the cabinet by one person.

Remove the Handles

Fix the Chassis

Remove the handles from the chassis before putting

the chassis on the guide rails in the cabinet.
After using the removable handles, place them in the
specified location at the rear of the chassis.
If a single-door cabinet is used, keep the handles
properly after using them.

Precaution After Installation

1. Place the tweezers at a fixed place in the cabinet or rack so that you can use it conveniently. If you
experience trouble when inserting network cables or fibers into high-density ports, use the tweezers.
2. Do not block the air intake vent (on the left) and air exhaust vent (at the rear). Leave 70 mm to 90 mm
clearance between the vents and the cabinet to ensure effective heat dissipation.

Grounding System Maintenance

Do not measure the grounding resistance immediately after a rain.

Position the current probe and the voltage probe in a manner that is perpendicular to the wires of a
grounding net or underground metallic pipes.
The grounding resistance of a comprehensive communication building should be no more than 1 ;
that of a common communication station should be no more than 5 ; that of the place with high
earth resistibility should be no more than 10 .

To measure the grounding resistance, use an earth resistance tester. The picture shows the
arrangement of the probes of an earth resistance tester.

The distance between the current probe and the rim of a grounding net is d1 and the length of
the maximum diagonal line of a grounding net is D. d1 should be 4-5 times as much as D.
The distance between the probe and the side of a grounding net is d2. d2 is 50%-60% of d1.
During measurement, move the voltage probe along the line connecting the grounding net and
the current probe three times; the distance of each movement is 5% of d1. If the three resistance
values are similar, it means that the grounding resistance is normal.

If measuring d1 is difficult, you can take 2D instead of d1 and take D instead of d2 in a place
where the earth resistibility is the same. In a place where the resistibility is different, you can take
3D instead of d1 and take 1.7D instead of d2.
