1 Basic Tasks

1.1 From BSC Terminal

Note: Perform the following tasks with a BSC Terminal running on Windows 2000/XP.

1.1.1 Load BSS Software from BSC Terminal

Three cases apply:

C1 : Load the BSS Software with the files stored on the diskettes (quantity =

7) that were created during the complete backup from the OMC-R (DISK_A

+ DISK_B + DISK_C)

C2 : Load the BSS Software with the SDP Package and the first diskette

that was created during the partial backup from the OMC-R (DISK_A)

C3 : Load the BSS Software with the files stored using ftp during the

backup performed from the OMC-R.

To load the BSS Software from the BSC Terminal:1. Create a directory for either the B10 gzip files (C1or C3) or the SDP Package

files and the B10 gzip files from the first diskette (C2):

Create a target directory (example: C:\target_name)

Copy gzip.exe from C:\ProgramFiles\Alcatel\WinBSC\B10 to the

target directory

For C1: Copy all compressed files (gzip) from backup diskettes to

the target directory

For C2: Copy the SDP Package files and the files from the first backup

diskette in the target directory

For C3: Copy all compressed files (gzip) into the target directory (copy

the content of all the folders that were transferred using ftp)

Open a "Command Prompt" window on the BSC terminal

Select the target directory: cd C:\target_name

Uncompress the gzip files: gzip -dvN *.gz.

2. Disable the BSC.

From the BSC terminal menu bar, select:

Commands -> Equipment Handling-> SBL DisableObject Class: ’SBL’

Unit Type: ’BSC’, Unit Number: ’1’

SBL Type: ’BSC’, Nbr: ’1’, SubNbr: ’255’

8/13/2019 212680000 e 05



2.2.3 Safety Requirements IEC 950 (Excerpt)

The following information is an excerpt from the IEC 950 safety requirements:

The 230 V electrical supply must be recognizable

The equipment power supply is protected by 300 mA circuit breakers

The service point power supply is protected by 30 mA circuit breakers

Do not extend the maximum load indicated at the service point

Insure a proper protective earth connection (resistance <0.1 Ohm)

The earth conductor outside the rack is one of the following:

Bare

Sleeved in green/yellow

Transparent insulation.

The protective earth connection inside the rack is terminated with a crimpcable lug

The feed line to the circuit breaker is protected against physical contact.

2.2.4 Safety Rules for Equipment Under Power

For maintenance or procedure purposes, field operators may have to workon equipment under power (-48 VDC or -60 VDC). This means that it ispossible to touch some parts under power that are only protected by heavyfuses. All activities must be carried out carefully to avoid short circuits andto prevent serious personal injury.

Remove all conductive objects from the hands, such as rings, bracelets, metallicwrist watches and so on. Use appropriate insulated tools for your activities.

2.2.5 Equipment Emitting RF Power

When working with equipment emitting FR power:

Do not enter into the compliance RF perimeter for the general public and

non-authorized persons

Switch off the RF emission if you want to enter into the compliance RF

perimeter for workers

Do not stand in the compliance RF perimeter for general public if not

necessary

People with electronic medical devices (pacemakers, hearing aids) and

pregnant women must identify themselves to Alcatel-Lucent representatives.

2.2.6 Electrostatic Precautions

2.2.6.1 Environment

Observe the following electrostatics precautions:

Ensure that work benches, stools, and floor mats have a conducting surface

connected to the ground. Before handling static-sensitive components and

assemblies, ground yourself to the conducting surface using an anti-static

wrist strap.

When handling static-sensitive components and assemblies, do not wear

or use clothes made of wool, nylon, or any other synthetic material. Such

fabrics are major sources of static build up.

When handling static-sensitive components and assemblies, do not use

gloves and finger covers, unless they are made of cotton.

2.2.6.2 ToolsObserve the following electrostatics precautions:

Ensure that all tools which come into contact with static-sensitive

components are at the same voltage level as the conducting work surfaces

and floor mats. These tools include soldering irons, oscilloscopes, power

supplies, and metal parts of tools and fixtures that are used to hold,

assemble, or test Printed Board Assemblies (PBA).

Do not use rough cleaners or erasers to clean the gold-plated contacts

on PBAs

Do not mark a PBA with lead pencil or any other writing instrument

Do not use synthetic brushes to clean equipment and do not use dry

cleaning methods.

3BK 21268 AAAA PCZZA Ed.05 33 / 42

8/13/2019 212680000 e 05



2.2.6.3 Transportation and Storage


Pack all electronic components and modules in containers used to transport

and store static-sensitive components and use aluminum container tubes

if possible. If not, insert the components terminations into electricallyconductive foam

Before shipping a PBA, wrap it in a conducting synthetic bag or in aluminum

foil. Also pack the PBA in a polyethylene transport box

Before shipping a PBA which has Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS)

components, ensure that an appropriate warning symbol is displayed on

the package

Store spare PBAs in their appropriate polyethylene boxes. Keep the boxes

closed except when access to their contents is required

Do not store PBAs in an area where the air is polluted with smoke, dust,dangerous gases, or other airborne particles that may cause damage

Do not stack PBAs side-by-side or on top of each other with the board

surfaces or components in contact with one another

Before cleaning a PBA, remove or disconnect the damage protection, such

as protective foam, to allow the PBA to be cleaned thoroughly. Replace the

damage protection upon completion of the task.

2.2.6.4 Components and PBAs


Components and PBAs are not in protective containers, and must only be

handled by trained personnel in static-controlled work areas

Before removing a PBA from an equipment rack, discharge any static by

touching the metal frame of the rack with your hand

Always handle a PBA by the edges

Do not handle or carry a PBA by any mounted components

Do not handle a PBA by the gold-plated contact terminals and do not apply

direct pressure to the components

Do not touch PBA connection pins or conductor paths

Do not touch PBAs with wet hands

Place PBAs that have been removed during maintenance with the soldered

side down on a conductive surface

Do not scratch or rub the soldered side of a PBA with a sharp or rough object

Do not repair PBAs in the switch room

Do not handle components and assemblies by their leads

Do not use excessive force when inserting connection boards.
