7.2 Principles of Laying Grounding Cables and Power

cables
Grounding cables and power cables need to be laid according to certain principles.
General Cabling Principles of Power Cables

The cabling principles for the power cables are as follows:
l
For the equipment room provided with an ESD preventive floor, the power cables can walk
through the ground interlayer.
For the equipment room provided with cable racks, the power cables can walk through the
cabling rack that is installed at the top of the cabinet.
The specifications, routing, cross-section, and location of the power cables are
predetermined.
The power cables must be arranged neatly and have no damage on the coverings. The
insulation layer of the conductors must be intact.
As recommended, the power cables must be laid separately from signal cables to minimize
the electromagnetic interference.
The cables must be laid to ensure easy maintenance and expansion.
General Bundling Principles of Power Cables

After the power cables are laid, handle them according to the following principles:
l
Issue 02 (2011-07-30)
The power cables to be laid in the aisles must be bundled with cable ties. Besides, the cable
segments at the inlet or outlet of the cable trough and the bend part of the power cables
must be bundled with cable ties. The bundled cables must be close to each other, straight
and neat. The cable ties are arranged at even spacing between each other and are properly
fastened.
48

Installation Guide
The power cables laid in the cable trough do not need to be bundled and must be kept within
the cable trough, but they must be straight without any crossing.
When the bundled power cables bend, the bend radius must be at least trifold the cable
diameter to avoid breaking the inner core of the cables caused by an excessive stress on the
bend part.
To ensure the bundling strength, do not tie several cable ties together to bundle power
cables.
The spacing between cable ties on the bundled cables should be kept even and three to four
times the diameter of a cable.
After bundling the power cables, trim the cable ties and leave no cusp at the joints.
Figure 7-1 shows the status of correctly bundled power cables.

8.2 Principles of Laying Signal Cables

The signal cables must be laid according to certain principles.
Issue 02 (2011-07-30)

58

Installation Guide
General Cabling Principles for Signal Cables

The general cabling principles for signal cables are as follows:
l
The signal cables must be laid separately from the power cables.
The signal cables must be bent smoothly with a minimum bend radius of at least 60 mm.
Avoid damaging the insulation cover of the conductors when laying the signal cables.
The signal cables must be laid in a manner in which convenient maintenance and expansion
must be ensured.
General Bundling Principles for Signal Cables

The general bundling principles for signal cables are as follows:
l
The signal cables to be laid in the aisles need to be bundled with cable ties. The cable
segments at the inlet or outlet of the cable trough and the bend part of the signal cables need
to be bundled with cable ties.
The signal cables to be laid in the cabling trough do not need to be bundled, but they must
be kept within the cable trough and must be straight without any crossing.
The bundled cables must be close to each other, straight and neat.
When the bundled cables bend, the bend radius must be at least 60 mm to avoid breaking
the inner core of the signal cables caused by an excessive stress on the bend part.
To ensure the bundling strength, do not tie several bundling tapes together to bundle the
signal cables.
The spacing of cable ties on the bundled cables must be kept even and three to four times
the diameter of a cable.
After bundling the signal cables, trim the cable ties and leave no cusp at the joint.
8.3 Laying Signal Cables

This section describes how to lay signal cables. Signal cables, including network cables, serial
port cables, SAS cables, mini SAS cables, and optical fibers, are connected to the devices to
enable service running.
8.3.1 Laying Optical Fibers

The optical fibers are used to connect the FC host ports on an S2600F or S2600C controller
enclosure to the service host directly for the directly attached storage (DAS) networking or
through an FC switch for the storage area network (SAN).
Prerequisite
Before laying optical fibers, prepare the following materials:
l
Optical transceivers
Optical fibers
Context
When connecting the optical fibers, note the following:
Issue 02 (2011-07-30)

59

Installation Guide
Do not reinsert an optical fiber immediately after it is pulled out. As recommended, after
an optical fiber is pulled out, wait at one minute before reinserting it.
The optical transceiver is electrostatic sensitive and must be placed in an ESD preventive
and dust-proof environment during transportation, storage, or use.
The optical fiber connector must be kept clean and free from scratches.
Do not squeeze, distort, fold, or fix the optical fibers, nor bend the optical fibers as a circle
with a radius less than 5 cm. Otherwise, the optical fibers may be damaged, which reduces
the data transfer performance or causes data loss.
Cover the optical fibers and optical transceivers that are free of use with protective caps.
The modes of optical fibers and optical module include single mode and multiple mode.
The mode of the optical fiber and that of the optical module must be consistent. The S2600
uses the multiple mode optical fibers and optical module.
If the storage system is configured with 44S FC interface module (which provides 00, 01,
03 and 04 host ports), connecting the 00 and 01 host ports (or 02 and 03 host ports) to the
same FC switch is forbidden; otherwise, the data link fails.
DANGER
When installing optical fibers, do not keep your eyes close to or stare at the optical outlet.
Figure 8-1 shows the direct connection between the FC host port and the application server (for
DAS networking).

Installation Guide
A.1 Equipment Room Environment

A good equipment room environment adds a guarantee to safe operations.
The equipment room for the S2600 must be away from the area with high temperature, heavy
dust, low voltage, harmful gas, or explosive material. In addition, the place with frequent strong
vibration or loud noise, and the place where the major step-down substation and traction
substation locate are not suitable for the equipment room. During engineering design, determine
the address for equipment room based on factors such as hydrographic and geologic features,
earthquake and transportation. In addition, take the communication network planning and
communication technology requirements into the overall consideration.
The engineering design for the equipment room must strictly meet the environment requirements
for the S2600, including requirements on construction, architecture, heating, ventilation, and
lighting of the equipment room. In the mean time, regulations on enterprise, environmental
protection, fire fighting, air defense, and special technical designs related to building
construction must also be observed.

no dust. Generally, an ESD preventive raised floor is required. The
floor boards must be laid tightly and firmly. The horizontal tolerance
of the floor must not be greater than 2 mm per square meter. If no
raised floor is available, electrostatic conductive floor material (with
the volume resistivity ranging from 1.0 x 107 ohms to 1.0 x 1010
ohms) must be laid. The electrostatic conductive floor material or
the ESD preventive raised floor must be grounded properly. They
can be connected to the grounding device through a current limiting
resistor and a connection wire. Resistance of the current limiting
resistor must be 1 mega ohm.
Load-bearing
capacity of the floor
More than 450 kg/m2.

Installation Guide
Item
Requirement
Indoor ducts
Indoor ducts are used to lay cables. The inside of the ducts must be
smooth and clean. The reserved length and width (margins) as well
as the number, position, and size of the holes must comply with
relevant requirements for placing the S2600.

discharged towards the equipment.
Others
In addition to the rodent-proof measures against mice and the like,

measures against proliferation of fungi and mildew must be taken in
the equipment room too.
A.4 Equipment Room Cleanliness

Dust, if fallen onto the devices, may lead to electrostatic adherence, which may result in poor
connection of cables. This may shorten the service life of the devices and cause breakdowns.
The size and density of the dust in the equipment room must meet the requirements listed in
Table A-2.

Seal the doors and windows.
Always wear clean lab coat and protective footwear before you enter the equipment room.
Apply wallpapers or lusterless paint (except easily pulverized or peeled paint) to the ceiling
and walls of the equipment room to prevent dust flake-off.
A.5 Temperature and Humidity

Proper temperature and humidity must be maintained inside the equipment room for the sound
and constant running of the S2600.
Too high or low temperature or humidity does harm to the performance and service life of the
S2600. If the S2600 runs at an ultrahigh or ultralow temperature for a long period, its service
life will be shortened because the ultrahigh or ultralow temperature accelerates the aging of the
insulation materials.
Too high relative humidity in the equipment room for a long period will greatly jeopardize the
S2600 by causing poor insulation or even electrical leakage of certain insulation materials.
Sometimes, too high relative humidity causes changes in the mechanical performance of such
materials. Moreover, the metal parts of the equipment are prone to rusting. However, when the
relative humidity is too low, the captive nuts will turn loose as the insulation washer may get
dried and shrunk. Meanwhile, the static electricity generated in a dry surrounding may damage
the circuits of the devices.

To suppress electromagnetic interferences, take the following measures:

l
Keep the equipment room away from electric transformers, high-voltage power lines, and
other devices with a high current. For example, you may keep it 20 meters or farther away
from the transformers, or more than 50 meters from high-voltage power lines.
Keep the equipment room away from high-power radio transmitters. For example, build it
at a place free of high-power radio transmitters within 500 meters.
If there is a mobile communication transmitter in the comprehensive building, make sure

its interference level complies with the corresponding standard. Shielding and isolation
measures can be taken for further protection, if necessary.
A.8 ESD Prevention

This section describes the requirements on the ESD prevention and the preventive measures for
the equipment room.
The absolute static voltage value must be less than 2000 V.
To meet this requirement, take the following measures:
l
Train the operators on ESD prevention.
Control the humidity in the room to reduce the impact from static electricity.
Lay antistatic floor in the room.
Wear ESD shoes and uniforms before entering the room.
Use antistatic tools such as ESD wrist straps, ESD tweezers, and extraction tools when
dealing with the equipment.
Ground all conducting materials in the room, including computer terminals.
Use antistatic worktables.
Keep non-antistatic materials (such as common bags, foams, and rubbers) at least 30 cm
away from boards and ESD-sensitive components.

Table A-7 Requirements for lightning protection

Item
Description
Structure of the equipment room
Build the equipment room with steel and concrete. The

equipment room must be equipped with facilities such as
lightning arrester to protect it against direct lightning
strokes. Ensure that the lightning protection grounding of
the equipment room and that of devices such as the
lightning arrester shares the grounding body with the
protection grounding of the building where the room is
located.
TN-S for AC power supply
Equip the communication office with special electric

transformers and metal-jacketed or insulation-jacketed
power cable. The power cable is to pass through a steel
pipe and buried in the earth before entering the
communication office. Both ends of both the metal jacket
and the steel pipe must be grounded proximately. Ensure
that the buried length is no less than 15 meters. Each of
the three live cables at the low-voltage side of the AC
transformer should be equipped with a seamless zinc
oxide arrester. The chassis, the AC neutral cable on the
low-voltage side and the metal jacket of the cable
connected to the chassis must be grounded proximately .
Lightning arrester for indoor

power cables
Do not lead in or lead out the AC/DC power cables

aerially in the communication office. Equip the indoor
low-voltage power cable with a lightning arrester in the
voltage regulator and in the AC panel. The arrester must
be grounded proximately. If the office is located in the
downtown, it is recommended to use an arrester with the
nominal discharge current no less than 20 kA. If it is
located in the suburb of intermediate or higher lightning
danger level, an arrester with the surge current higher
than 60 kA is recommended. If the office is located in an
isolated huge building in the city or in the mountain area
where lightning strokes occur often, use an arrester that
has a surge current higher than 100 kA. The length of the
grounding cable must be less than 1 meter.
A.10 Power Supply

This section describes the power supply system of the S2600.
To deal with a long-term power outage, a diesel generator should be equipped as the standby
AC power supply.
The DC power supply system consists of storage battery, primary power supply (rectifier), DC
distributor, and control panel. The DC power distribution system must be protected against
power failure and configured with storage batteries.

temperature of 40C. The lower the ambient temperature is, the lower the input power is. The smaller the
capacity of the disk is, the lower the input power is.
A.11 Equipment Room Lighting

The equipment room is equipped with three lighting systems.
The three lighting systems are as follows:
l
Active lighting system, which is powered by the mains supply.
Backup lighting system, which is powered by the backup power supply (diesel electric
generator) of the office.
Emergency lighting system, which is powered by the backup battery unit (BBU) when the
mains supply is interrupted but the backup power supply does not start to supply power
yet.
A.12 System Protection

This section describes the requirements for the system protection.
Issue 02 (2011-07-30)

Installation Guide
ESD Protection
The equipment-affecting electrostatic induction comes from the external electric field such as
outdoor high voltage transmission line or lightning. It also comes from the internal system such
as indoor environment, floor materials or equipment structure.
Static electricity may damage the chips on integrated circuit boards and cause faults in software
and electronic switch. Statistics shows that 60 percent of the damaged circuit boards are caused
by static electricity. It is essential to take effective ESD protection measures.
It is recommended to take the following measures:
l
Ground the devices well. While laying the raised floor covered with semi-conductive
materials, copper foil must be used for grounding at a number of points on the floor (the
copper foil must be placed between the cement ground and the semi-conductive floor and
must be connected with the grounding cable).
Take dust-proof measures. Dusts may do great harm to the S2600. Dusts or other particles
getting into the equipment room may cause poor connection between connectors or metal
connecting points. When the humidity in the equipment room is high, dusts may cause
electrical leakage. Part of device failures are caused by accumulated dusts. Especially, when
the humidity in the room is too low, electrostatic adherence may occur.
Keep proper temperature and humidity. Too high humidity may make the metal components
rusty, while too low humidity may induce static electricity.
To prevent electrostatic damage to the devices, wear an ESD wrist strap and ESD clothes
when touching a circuit board.
Interference Prevention
The increasing electromagnetic signals transmitted in the air may affect the communication
quality and even result in communication interruptions. The electromagnetic interference (EMI)
sources include:
l
Corona discharge of the electric transmission line
Transformer
Switches
Waveform distortion of the power supply network caused during the operation of large
equipment
Radio frequency (RF) interference
Natural interference sources such as terrestrial magnetic field and external radiation
The interference, from inside or outside of the devices or the application system, affects the
devices through conductive modes such as capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,
electromagnetic wave radiation, common impedance (including grounding system) and cable
(power and signal cables). The external interference comes from the signal cable, power cable,
grounding system and spatial electromagnetic wave.
Integrated circuits (ICs) have the interference resistance capability to a degree. However when
the external noises go beyond their anti-interference tolerance, corrupted signals and even system
malfunction will be caused. It is impossible to eliminate or shield all the interference sources,
but the following measures can be taken to suppress the interference signals:
l
Issue 02 (2011-07-30)
High frequency interference in the power supply network is generated when the primary
coil of the power supply transformer is coupled to the secondary coil through distributed
106

Installation Guide
capacitors. To suppress such interference, you can use an appropriate transformer, and
install a low-pass filter at the inlet of the power supply cable.
l
The interference of the transient voltage in the power supply network can be reduced by
inputting power directly from the primary transformer with a filter capacitor for the S2600.
Before directly using the mains supply, effective measures against interference from power
supply network must be taken.
The key to eliminate the interference from the grounding system is to avoid loops among
various grounds, such as the signal ground (including analog ground and digital ground),
device working ground, protection ground, and shield ground, or loops formed by large
distributed capacitors. Otherwise, the common impedance interference from the grounding
system may affect the operation of the equipment. In buildings other than high-rises, the
working ground of the S2600 must be separated as far as possible from the ground for
electricity equipment and lightning protection device.
Prevent electromagnetic radiation interference from the surroundings on the devices.
EMI from the telecommunications line must be restrained. Influenced by high frequency
electromagnetic field (external interference), high longitudinal voltage will occur to the
core and sheath of the communication cable. Because of the asymmetry of cores in the
cables, the longitudinal voltage generates a horizontal noise voltage at the ends of the cores.
When both ends of the cable sheath are grounded, the sheath functions as a shielding layer,
greatly reducing the longitudinal voltage and the interference voltage. Besides, other
effective methods include:
Reduce the voltage or current of the interference source.
Reduce the line length and the spacing of the conducting wires to narrow the area of the
affected loop.
Place the insulated conducting wires on the grounded floor directly.
Use a special grounding feedback cable to avoid co-impedance.
Twist the signal cable and the feedback cable together to offset partial peripheral
electromagnetic interference.
Fire Protection
For small equipment rooms, a certain number of portable fire extinguishers must be equipped
in each room for an initial fire control. In large equipment rooms, fire extinguishing facilities
should be equipped. An automatic fire alarm system must also be equipped in the equipment
room. All buildings with fire alarm system must have fire emergency lighting system and
evacuation instruction marks at important places, paths and gateways.
Anti-earthquake Requirements
The designed anti-earthquake intensity of the equipment room must be one degree (Richter scale)
higher than that of the common buildings. The equipment room building that cannot meet the
requirement should be reinforced. When installing the S2600, the following anti-earthquake
measures must be taken:
l
Use steel framework for the cabinet of the equipment and fix the boards in the cabinet with
locking devices.
The cabinet is reinforced with slide rails at the top and supports at the bottom.
Issue 02 (2011-07-30)

Installation Guide
Lightning Protection
Chimneys, antennae or other things over 15 m tall on the top of the equipment room building
must be designed according to the lightning protection requirements for civil buildings.
Measures must be taken against direct flash and intrusion of lightning current. In the main highrise transmission building, protective measures should be taken to prevent side lightning strokes,
especially in frequent lightning areas.
The main equipment-room building meet the following lightning protection requirements:
l
The external metal window frame must be connected to the lightning protection wire.
The lightning protection metal bands must be placed at specified spacing on the outside
wall.
The building must be installed with lightning arrester nets or bands at the positions
susceptible to lightning strokes. Lightning prevention wires or lightning rods should be
installed on the top of chimneys and antennas that protrude out of the building. The crosssection area of the grounding wire of the lightning protection device should not be smaller
than 120 mm2, while the spacing between the wires not larger than 30 m.
The earth resistance of the earthing/grounding system is recommended to be less than 10

ohms, and the equipment grounding should comply with national and local electrical codes.
Outdoor cables and metal pipes must be grounded outside the building, and the outdoor
overhead cables must be equipped with lightning protection facilities at their entrance to
the building.
It is recommended to ground the lightning arresters on the roof plates, beams, and pillars
made of reinforcement concrete and steel bars.
Joint grounding system is recommended for the lightning protection grounding of the building.
The joint grounding system shall connect the BGND, PGND, lightning protection grounding of
the building, and grounding of the power frequency AC power supply system. A high earth
resistance is required by the joint grounding system. The grounding requirements for different
devices vary, so the resistance of the joint grounding system should be determined according to
the minimum resistance required for the grounding device.
It is recommended to use steel bars in the walls and pillars of the building as grounding parts
for lightning protection. These grounding parts should be electrically connected to equalize the
electric potential in the building.
