 1 Precautions

• This document aims to provide simple and distinctive guidelines for hardware installation.
• This document does not describe operations for the pre-delivery installation of the internal
cables and so on. Instead, this document describes only the operations for on-site
installation.

Electrostatic Discharge
Before touching the device, or holding the boards and IC chips, wear the ESD gloves or the
ESD wrist strap to prevent the electrostatic discharge of the human body from damaging the
sensitive components. Ensure that the other end of the ESD wrist strap is properly grounded.

ESD gloves ESD wrist strap

Bundling cables
• The distance between cable ties or binding straps inside the cabinet must be within 250 mm.
(For user cable, the distance must be within 200 mm.)

• Use diagonal pliers to cut off the extra part of the cable tie to the end, and ensure that the
cable tie is neat without sharp edges to prevent hand injury.

Affixing labels / tags

• After routing the cable, attach the label or fasten the tag to the cable 20 mm away from the
connector.

• After the label for the signal cable is attached to the signal cable, the rectangular text area of
the label must face rightwards or downwards.

• After the identification plate for the power cable is attached to the power cable, the text area of
the plate must face rightwards or upwards. Ensure that the side attached with the label faces
outwards.

 4 Environment Requirements on Third-Party Cabinets

• Cabinet dustproof requirement: The MA5800-X17 subrack is not dustproof, so select

dustproof cabinets that support dust filter maintenance.
• Cabinet installation requirements:
For the ETSI-compliant MA5800-X17 service subrack, select an ETSI-compliant front-pillar
cabinet with a depth of 300 mm or more so that a space with a depth of 55 mm or more can be
reserved for cable/fiber routing after boards are installed.
• Cabinet door requirement: When devices are operating, keep the cabinet door closed.
• Grounding requirement: Huawei cabinets are grounded through mounting bars. Ensure that
third-party cabinets are properly grounded based on site conditions.
• Power distribution requirements: Ensure that an over-current protection mechanism has
been deployed on the upper-level device. A 60-A over-current protection mechanism is
recommended for the MA5800-X17. Ensure that the circuit breaker trip value of the upper-level
device is greater than or equal to the rated value on the device nameplate.
• Heat dissipation requirements:
Ensure that the cabinet has an air inlet and the hole density of the cabinet door is 60% or
higher.
When a cabinet accommodates multiple subracks or the device shares a cabinet with other
active devices, ensure that the following space requirements are met.

 5 Space Requirements on Third-Party Cabinets

5.1 When the Cabinet Accommodates One MA5800-X17 Subrack

• Ensure that the cabinet has an air inlet and the hole density of the cabinet door is 60% or
higher.
• Reserve at least 2 U space for air flow-in when you route fibers or install other passive
devices. You are advised to reserve more than 4 U space to facilitate subsequent air inlet or
dust filter cleaning.

• The heat dissipation of the MA5800-X17 is assured only when more than 2 U space is
reserved at the air inlet and 3 U space is reserved at the air outlet.
• You are advised to reserve more than 4 U space above and under the MA5800-X17
respectively to minimize the impact on other components in the cabinet.

5.2 When the Cabinet Accommodates Two MA5800-X17 Subracks or

One MA5800-X17 Subrack and Another Device

• Reserve 10 U space between the devices or add a 3 U air deflector to redirect air flows to
minimize the mutual heat dissipation impacts on the devices.
• Reserve at least 2 U space for air flow-in when you route fibers or install other passive devices.
You are advised to reserve more than 4 U space to facilitate subsequent air inlet or dust filter
cleaning.

 6 Installing the Service Subrack

• Service subracks are delivered together with the cabinet by default. When you need to
replace a service subrack or install a service subrack for capacity expansion, perform the
following operations.
• When you install the panel screws, loosely install all the screws first, and then tighten them
one by one in a diagonal sequence.
Locate the installation positions of the cable troughs and service subrack on the mounting
bars, and install floating nuts at these positions.
Use 8 M6 x 12 panel screws to secure the upper and lower cable troughs on the mounting bars.

7.5 Routing Optical Fibers (Upstream)

• When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to or look into the optical fiber outlet directly
with naked eyes.
• Lead the optical fiber through a corrugated pipe. The mouth of the corrugated pipe must be
wrapped with the adhesive tape. In the cabinet, the corrugated pipe should not be longer than
100 mm. In addition, the corrugated pipe is bound at the cabling aperture.
• The bending radius of the optical fiber should be more than 20 times the cable radius. In
general, the bending radius of the optical fiber is more than or equal to 40 mm.

7.6 Routing Optical Fibers (GPON Board)

• When optical modules are preinstalled to boards before delivery, ensure that optical modules are
properly installed before connecting fibers to boards.
• Route the fibers of the service boards on the left of the control board to the left side of the
cabinet, and route the fibers of the service boards on the right of the control board to the right
side of the cabinet.
• When the device uses the uplink interface board for upstream transmission of services, the
optical fiber for the uplink interface board is routed in the same way as that for the control board.

7.7 Routing Optical Fibers (P2P Board)

• When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to or look into the optical fiber outlet directly
with naked eyes.
• Lead the optical fiber through a corrugated pipe. The mouth of the corrugated pipe must be
wrapped with the adhesive tape. In the cabinet, the corrugated pipe should not be longer
than 100 mm. In addition, the corrugated pipe is bound at the cabling aperture.
• The bending radius of the optical fiber routed on the 48-port P2P board is greater than or
equal to 5 mm.
• The 48-port P2P board has 24 optical transceivers. 12 optical fibers for six optical
transceivers are bundled in a group. When bundling the optical fiber, lean the optical fiber
towards the right side of the board. Do not pile up the optical fibers on the board. This avoids
oppression among optical fibers. Use four fiber binding straps at even distance to bundle the
optical fibers of each board.
