Before You Start BG-64 Installation and Maintenance Manual


Outline of the Installation Procedure

The main steps involved in the installation of BG-64 equipment are described in the following table. Consult your site installation plans for specific details.

Table 2-1: Typical BG-64 equipment installation sequence No. Task Reference

1 Prepare the installation site and check the physical location, environmental compliance, and availability of power sources.

Before You Start

2 Prepare power, alarm, management, and transmission cables at the installation site.

Before You Start and Equipment Installation (on page 3-1)

3 Route the required power, alarm, management, and transmission cables to the intended BG-64 equipment location.

Equipment Installation (on page 3-1)

4 If required, install the equipment racks. Equipment Installation (on page 3-1)

5 Mark the location of each BG-64 shelf, relevant accessories (Fiber Storage Tray [FST], Optical Distribution Frame [ODF], Digital Distribution Frame [DDF], and MCP30 Interconnection Panel [ICP_MCP30]) on each rack, in accordance with the site installation plan. Notes: | Only for BG-64 installation, it is

recommended that you leave at least 4 U of space above the BG-64 shelf to enable future installation of the BG-30E shelf.

| The BG-64 can only support balanced E1 interfaces directly. For unbalanced E1s, the xDDF-21 patch panel must be configured, which provides conversion between balanced and unbalanced E1s for 21 x E1s.

| When auxiliary interfaces like RS-232, orderwire, or V.11 are used in your application, the ICP_MCP30 must be installed in order to distribute the concentrated Auxiliary connector into dedicated connectors for each function.


6 When applicable, install the EMS-BGF management station.

EMS-BGF Installation Guide

7 Install the Rack Alarm Panel (RAP) and other equipment needed in each rack.


8 Install the BG-64 shelves in the appropriate Equipment Installation (on


Before You Start


No. Task Reference rack. page 3-1)

9 For each BG-64 shelf where optical modules are used, install an FST under the BG-64 shelf and route the optical fibers to the FST. Note: Even if you are not currently installing an FST, it is recommended that you leave enough space beneath the BG-64 shelf to enable future installation.


10 Install the prescribed modules in the BG-64 shelf, including two INF_64 modules, FCU_64, MCP64, two XIO64 modules, and optional Tslot modules. Install the prescribed modules in the BG-30E shelf, including two INF_30E modules, FCU_30E, or other extension cards, such as the PE1_63, P345_3E.

11 Install the SFP modules for XIO64 modules. Equipment Installation (on page 3-1)

12 Depending on the modules or cards in your BG-64 shelf: | Route the PDH electrical cables from the

DDF to the E1 interfaces on the front panel of PME1_21 modules, the E3/DS-3 interfaces on the front panel of PM345_3 modules, and STM-1e interfaces on the STM-1 electrical SFPs.

| Route the data cables to the Fast Ethernet interfaces on the front panel of DMFE_4_L1 modules.

| If the ICP_MCP30 is installed, route the special cables to connect the ICP_MCP30 and the MCP30, and route cables for interfaces on the ICP_MCP30 panel. If the ICP_MCP30 is not installed and external alarms interfaces are used, route the special Alarms cable from the MCP64 Auxiliary connector to the RAP.

Note: The DDF can be installed on the same rack as the BG-64 shelf, or on a different rack.


13 Connect management cables between the equipment installed in the rack and the management station.


14 Connect power cables from the RAP panel to each BG-64 shelf installed in the rack.




Site Preparation Perform a preliminary survey of the installation site, taking into consideration the following issues:

| System environmental requirements

| Physical location of the BG-64 shelves

| Location of power sources

| Types of interfaces used at the site (optical, electrical, management, alarm monitoring, and so on)

| Work and equipment safety requirements

Environmental Requirements The environmental conditions listed in the following table are applicable to BG-64 equipment and must be ensured at the installation site.

Table 2-2: Environmental requirements Parameter Compliance requirements

Temperature ETSI ETS 300-19-2-3 Test Spec. T3.1


Before You Start


Physical Location

WARNING: BG-64 shelves are intended for installation in restricted-access areas only.

Before you start:

Choose the physical location of the BG-64 shelves, taking the following aspects into consideration:

1. Equipment dimensions (see the following table).

2. Required floor loading capability: 100 kg for a typical eight-shelf installation.

3. Routing requirements for grounding, power, alarm monitoring, management cables, and optical fibers. To ensure convenient access to cables and fibers, it is recommended, whenever possible, to use overhead cable ladders to bring the cables/fibers to the top of each rack.

4. When a network management station, for example, the EMS-BGF, is installed on the site, consider the method of connection to the local network management station and the maximum allowed distance.

Power Sources BG-64 shelves can be powered by DC sources complying with the applicable sections of ETSI 300 132-2 and the SELV or TNV requirements of EN 60950. The nominal supply voltage is -48 VDC (positive-lead grounded). However, the allowed supply voltage range is -40 VDC to -75 VDC. For redundancy, two separate DC power sources must be available. In the DC power supply, the maximum power consumption of the BG-64 is 360 W.

NOTE: If the planned power consumption of the equipment installed in the shelf is 80% or more of the maximum listed value, it is recommended to consult ECI Telecom Customer Support.

Tools and Test Equipment No special-purpose tools beyond a standard technicians toolbox are required for the installation of BG-64 shelves.

Since traffic cables can be prepared on site, suitable tool kits must be available. They include tools for the assembly of coaxial cables as listed in the following table, and tools for the preparation of optical patch cords.

Installation of BG-64 in Racks

Installation Plan This section provides guidelines for planning the installation of BG-64 shelves and ancillary equipment in racks.

We recommend installation in ECI Telecom ETSI racks, which provide the following advantages:

| Removable rear and side panels, enabling tidy leading and efficient maintenance of all rack cables, including: PCM/E1/E3/DS-3/STM-1e cables Control cables Power cables Data cables Voice frequency cables Timing cables

| Two ducts on the racks front rails for routing up to 200 optical fibers

| Open frame top and bottom, facilitating easy leading of cables from suspension floors and/or ceiling ladders

| Front door mountable for left or right opening

BG-64 equipment racks may be installed on wooden, concrete, or floating floors, or suspended from overhead mountings.



Typical BG-64 Installation See the figure Typical installation of six BG-64 shelves in an ETSI rack (on page 3-7) for a typical installation of a BG-64 shelf in an ECI Telecom ETSI rack. In this figure, four BG-64B shelves are shown.

In addition to the BG-64 shelf, the equipment installed in the rack can include:

| One RAP installed at the top of the rack. The RAP is used to connect external power and alarm monitoring lines (RAP-100 only) to the BG-64 shelves installed in the rack. The RAP fully supports up to four shelves with dual power feeding. In addition to the space needed for RAP installation, you must leave at least 50 mm of free space under the RAP for cable routing.

NOTE: The RAP-BG does not support alarm monitoring lines.

| Fiber Storage Tray. A separate FST can be installed for each BG-64 with optical modules. Each FST contains two storage reels, enabling the fiber to be stored on the right or left side of the tray. Leave at least 50 mm of free space between the BG-64 shelf and its FST, and another 50 mm free between the FST and the next BG-64 shelf.

| xDDF-21. When unbalanced E1 interfaces are needed, the xDDF-21 must be installed with the BG-64. Each xDDF-21 can support 21 channels of E1. The xDDF-21 can be installed anywhere on the same rack as the BG-64 shelf or on another rack.

| ICP_MCP30. When an RS-232 or V.11 interface from the MCP64 is used, the ICP_MPC30 must be installed to distribute the concentrated Auxiliary connector into dedicated connectors for each function. The ICP_MCP30 can be installed anywhere on the same rack as the BG-64 shelf.

Integrating BG-64 Shelves and Other Equipment in One Rack

BG-64 shelves and associated accessories may not occupy the entire rack. Additional equipment may, therefor, be installed in the remaining rack space, provided that any heat generated by additional equipment can be dissipated efficiently, and that thermal isolation is provided between the various equipment units.

In the event of additional equipment being installed on the rack, contact ECI Telecoms Customer Support team for assistance.


Before You Start


Preparing Cables and Fibers

Grounding Cables Shelf grounding is achieved by connecting the shelf to the rack using rack mounting brackets. Grounding is provided by contact when the unit is fastened to the rack.

A reliable low-impedance connection must be provided using copper conductors between the rack frame and the site grounding bus.

Make the connection between the rack grounding screw and the site grounding bus with a 2 AWG (35 mm2) or thicker copper lead with yellow/green insulation, in compliance with UL/ETSI recommendations.

Route grounding conductors along the shortest possible route. Treat the bare portion of the conductor with antioxidant and connect a listed two-hole compression lug. If the lug is not plated, polish it until it has a bright finish and coat it with antioxidant before connecting it to the frame of the rack. Do not mix different types of metal conductors.

DC Power Cables DC power cables must be prepared on site. Two types of DC power cables are needed:

| RAP input power cables

| Shelf power cables

ECI Telecom recommends the use of shielded power cables for DC power connections, with the shields connected to the frame ground at the rack end only.

RAP Input Power Cables The RAP input power cables are prepared on site. They connect input power from the site power distribution subsystem to the DC input terminals of the RAP.

Two input power cables are required for each rack, one for each source. The cables must use copper leads complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. Use a red lead for the positive conductor and a black lead for the negative conductor. The RAP cable ends must be terminated in M6 cable lugs matching the conductor gauge.

The recommended cable gauge is 25 mm or thicker. This gauge ensures that the voltage drop across the rack power cable does not exceed 2 V, even for cable runs of maximum 30 meters connected to a RAP and providing power to multiple BG-64 shelves.



When the RAP is used to provide power to a single BG-64 shelf, lower-lead gauges may be used, as follows:

| For runs not exceeding 20 meters, it is sufficient to use 10 mm2 copper leads.

| For runs not exceeding 30 meters, it is sufficient to use 16 mm2 copper leads.

Shelf Power Cables One 12 AWG cable, supplied by ECI Telecom, is used to connect the input power from the rack RAP unit to the POWER IN connector on each INF_64 module of each BG-64 shelf installed in the rack.

Alarm Cables Alarm cables used within BG-64 equipment are included in the shipment according to site specifications.

The alarm indications are carried by the shelf alarm indication cable. One shelf alarm indication cable is required for each BG-64 shelf installed in the rack. There are two types of alarm cable. If the ICP_MCP30 is not installed, an alarm cable connects between the Auxiliary connector on the MCP64 and one of the Alarms connectors on the RAP (RAP-100 only). If the ICP_MCP30 is installed, another alarm cable connects between the Alarms connector on the ICP_MCP30 and one of the Alarms connectors on the RAP (RAP-100 only). Cable length is 2 m.

NOTE: There are no Alarms connectors on the RAP-BG.

Management Cables Out-of-band management traffic is connected to a BG-64 shelf via the RJ-45 (MNG) connector located on the front panel of the MCP64.

The MNG Ethernet connector is wired as a 10BaseT station port for direct connection through an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 straight cable to a port of a 10BaseT Ethernet hub.

Suitable standard Ethernet station cables are available from many sources. Cables of Category 5 or better must be used. In all cases, the length of the cables must not exceed the maximum recommended for the cable type and hub port in use (up to a few dozen meters).


Before You Start


Timing (Clock) Cables The BG-64 shelf uses an RJ-45 connector on the MCP64 front panel that integrates the two timing reference interfaces (2 x T3 and 2 x T4). If it has balanced (120 ) G.703 interfaces, a multitwisted-pair cable with an RJ-45 connector (supplied by ECI Telecom) is used to connect timing signals from the BG-64 to the site timing reference distribution subsystems.

If the site timing reference distribution subsystem has unbalanced (75 ) G.703 interfaces, configure an adapter with coaxial cables that provides balanced-to-unbalanced conversion (supplied by ECI Telecom).

Electric Traffic Cables Some electric traffic cables can be prepared on site. The following table lists the type of cables and mating connectors needed for each BG-64 traffic interface type.

Optical Fibers Optical fibers can be prepared on site. The following table lists the type of cables and mating connectors needed to prepare cables for each BG-64 module.

For each optical interface, ECI Telecom supplies patch cords with mating optical connectors already attached to the fiber. Therefore, only the optical termination on the ODF side, which is installation-dependent, must be installed on site.

The optical fibers for connecting to equipment installed in a given rack must enter the rack from the top, be threaded through cable guides running along the rack side rails, and end at the FST. The FST must contain enough fiber length for extracting modules from the BG-64 and for replacing fiber in case of damage (splicing repairs).

When routing fibers, make sure to observe the minimum bending radius (35 mm).

Before You Start


Work and Equipment Safety

NOTE: BG-64 equipment is intended for installation in restricted-access areas only.

BG-64 shelves contain power sources of varying voltages. Take note of the following guidelines for installing the shelves:

Before you start:

| Ensure the integrity of the grounding connections.

| Make sure that sufficient lighting is available.

| Do not work on any equipment when it is connected to a voltage source (DC or AC).

| Ensure that the maximum working temperature does not exceed 70C.

| Use only insulated tools.

| Wear protective clothing as required by the requisite safety regulations.

| Do not install or maintain equipment connected to external lines (for example, E1 tributaries) during thunderstorms.

| Avoid contact with high-voltage sources when installing shelves, cards, and modules.

| Make sure you are familiar with the warning signals and labels on the equipment and strictly observe the procedures needed to avoid the indicated hazards.



Grounding Requirements All the equipment, including BG-64 shelves, ancillary units, and equipment from other vendors, must be properly grounded at all times. Good equipment grounding is necessary to protect personnel and equipment, minimize noise, and allow the discharge of accumulated static charges to earth.

Rack Grounding Requirements Connect the rack to the site grounding bar with a ground cable according to ETSI recommendations (top/bottom connection).

The rack is supplied with a main copper or brass grounding bolt welded to the rack frame. The grounding stud is identified on the rack by the ground symbol label.

The rack grounding bolt must be connected to the site grounding bar by a 35 mm2 (2 AWG) grounding cable or thicker, as short as possible, complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. The bolt must be free of paint. The cable must be made of copper strands and terminated on both sides with bolt terminals.

NOTE: If necessary, the gauge of the grounding lead can also be reduced to the gauge of the RAP power leads.

The rack mounting rails must be free of paint and provide electrical continuity to the main grounding bolt. The resistance between any rail and the rack main grounding bolt must be less than 0.1 . Pay particular attention to the area in which the RAP is attached. Remove paint from the rack in this area to ensure efficient electrical contact.

CAUTION: Connect the RAP grounding bolt to the rack grounding bolt with a grounding cable complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. The cable must include bolt terminals on both ends and be securely fastened with a nut and a star washer.


Before You Start


Power Supply Requirements The BG-64 shelf requires two power sources with a nominal voltage of -48 VDC. Each power source is protected by a UL-listed circuit breaker installed in the RAP. The required circuit breakers are included in the installation parts kit supplied with the equipment, and therefore, their current rating is in accordance with the order.

The site operator must provide a readily accessible UL-listed disconnect device incorporated in the fixed power wiring of the site. This device limits the maximum delivered current to a safe value.

Laser Safety Requirements

Laser Classification The equipment and components with laser devices described in this manual comply with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards, including IEC-60825-1 - Safety of Laser Products and IEC-825 Safety of Optical Fiber Communication Systems.

With specific regard to the laser, BG-64 equipment complies with laser product performance standards set by government agencies for Class 1 laser products. The product and its accessories do not emit hazardous light, and the beam is totally enclosed during all operating modes and maintenance.

Warning Labels for Laser Products The following labels are affixed to the shelf front panel. The labels indicate that the product is classified as a Class 1 Laser Product, Hazard Class 1M.

Figure 2-1: Laser warning label

Laser Safety Statutory Warning All personnel involved in equipment installation and maintenance must be aware that laser radiation is invisible. Therefore, although protective devices generally prevent direct exposure to the beam, personnel must strictly observe the applicable safety precautions and in particular must avoid staring into optical connectors, either directly or using optical instruments.


Before You Start


Laser Device Operating Precautions In addition to the general precautions described in this section, be sure to observe the following warnings when operating a product equipped with a laser device. Failure to observe these warnings could result in fire, bodily injury, and damage to the equipment.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of exposure to hazardous radiation, note the following:

When performing maintenance and other activities on equipment using lasers, it is recommended that you use protection goggles for the wavelength range of 1300 nm to 1600 nm.

Only authorized personnel must carry out hot insertion or swapping of an optical module or optical interface module.

To prevent irremediable damage to your eyes, avoid looking into the fiber when hot-removing and/or inserting a fiber termination.

Place plastic covers on module fiber ports and fiber terminations that are not currently in use.

Do not operate controls, make adjustments, or perform procedures associated with the laser device other than those specified herein.

It is strictly forbidden to interfere with any protective devices and interlocks that are used to prevent direct exposure to the laser beam.

Protection Against Electrostatic Discharge This section provides guidelines regarding the protection of BG-64 equipment and its components against electrostatic damage (ESD) during handling, packing/unpacking, transport, installation, commissioning, inspections, servicing, and maintenance.

Electronic equipment, assemblies, and components that are ESDS (Electrostatic discharge sensitive) or include sensitive items are identified by the basic ESD warning symbol shown in the following figure.

Figure 2-2: Basic ESD warning symbol

The information provided in this section is in line with CENELEC Electronic Components Committee (CECC) specification CECC 00 015, which deals with protection of devices sensitive to ESD.

Most types of electronic equipment, assemblies, and components can be damaged by electrostatic discharges. An ESD between two objects occurs when an object carrying static electrical charges touches or is brought near another object.

Static electrical charges appear as a result of friction between surfaces of insulating materials or separation of two such surfaces, and may also be induced by electrical fields. Routine activities such as walking across an insulating floor, friction between garment parts, friction between objects, and so on, can easily build up charges to levels that may cause damage, especially when humidity is low.



In many cases, the build-up of charge can be avoided by using special materials, for example, garments and packaging can be made of antistatic materials or materials that have high resistance, but yet are not insulators.

The best way to avoid damage by ESD is a combination of means and procedures that achieves the following goals:

| Avoids build-up of electrostatic charges

| Creates a protected work environment that helps prevent ESD

| Provides means for controlled discharge of any accumulated electrostatic charges when entering the protected work environment

NOTE: An area in which ESDS can be handled with minimum risk of damage as a result of ESD or fields, and in which the operator is not exposed to additional risks, is called an ESD Protected Area (EPA).

Personnel Training During production and assembly, equipment is handled in workspaces especially prepared and certified to serve as a permanent EPA. However, in many cases, the environment in which the same equipment is installed or maintained cannot be assumed to form an EPA with a permanently controlled boundary. Therefore, all the work involving handling of unprotected ESD must be considered as field work.

Field work in this context includes such activities as service and maintenance, installation, site inspections, and commissioning of components and assemblies classified as ESDS, together with associated packing and unpacking activities.

All the staff involved in field work must be trained to perform field work in the same way as work performed in permanent EPAs with respect to the material quality, personal responsibilities, training, labeling, and packing.


Before You Start


Use of a Temporary EPA Where necessary, a temporary EPA must be used. The EPA toolkit includes:

| Wrist strap with 1 M series resistor | Bonding strap with 1 M series resistor | ESD carpet (work surface), 0.25 m2 minimum

The temporary EPA must include temporary controlled work surfaces and/or flooring capable of providing protection against ESD.

CAUTION: The temporary EPA must be constructed in a way that ensures electrical bonding of all the materials used, and prevents the occurrence of any sudden changes in potential within the EPA that could cause unacceptable voltages or discharges to be applied to ESDS.

A means of equipotentially bonding the operator and any work surface and flooring to ground must be used. For this purpose, the work surface and wrist straps must be bonded either to a designated ground bonding point or to the equipment being serviced.

Whenever available, the mains ground serves as the ESD grounding facility.

WARNING: While the operator is within the temporary EPA, the minimum value of resistance used for bonding to ground must limit the current to ground, produced by voltages accessible to the operator, to limits specified as safe by the applicable regulations (see, for example, CECC 00 015). The same approach is applicable to the surface resistance and resistance to ground of materials used for temporary work surfaces and flooring.

To enable ESD bonding to ground of equipment racks and any other nonmoveable equipment containing ESD, an ESD ground bonding facility must be located near such equipment, or the equipment must be fitted with a designated ground bonding point presenting a resistance to ground not greater than 1 M.



Work Arrangements Within a Temporary EPA To ensure that effective ESD protection is indeed achieved, the following arrangements must be observed by persons entering and/or performing field work within a temporary EPA area:

| All operators working within a temporary EPA area must wear, as a minimum, an ESD antistatic protecting garment made of cotton.

| If the extent of the temporary work area is such that the operator needs to walk and move within that area, the floor of the area must be capable of providing protection against ESD.

| The operator must be bonded to ground at all times when handling ESDS.

| If it becomes necessary to remove an ESDS from equipment and transfer it to a temporary work surface away from the equipment, the ESDS must be given protective packaging unless equipotential bonding to ground of the operator is maintained.

| An ESDS must be placed directly into protective packaging when it is removed from equipment. A replacement ESDS must be kept in its protective packaging until required for immediate installation in the equipment.

| The field service operator must ensure that the materials and tools necessary to maintain and control the temporary EPA are available at the place of the field work at service time.

| All tools for use within the EPA must, as far as is practical, be constructed so that they do not generate or hold an induced electrostatic charge.

The procedures for equipment replacement and upgrades are similar to those for installation, and when relevant, notes regarding live replacement or upgrade are inserted in these procedures.

Use the information in this chapter in conjunction with specific site installation plans in the particular customer network. If you are interested in obtaining design or installation assistance from ECI Telecoms Customer Support team or wish to prepare a network installation plan, contact your ECI Telecom sales representative.

The BG-64 shelves, cards, modules, and ancillary equipment are described in the BroadGate Product Line Reference Manual.

3 Equipment Installation

Equipment Installation BG-64 Installation and Maintenance Manual


Preliminary Preparations The installation procedures provided in this chapter assume that:

| The sites at which the installation procedures are to be carried out comply with the requirements listed in Site Preparation (on page 2-4).

| The preliminary preparations specified in Before You Start (on page 2-1) have been completed.

Before you start, determine what equipment is to be installed in the rack by referring to the site installation plan, and note the exact position of each unit. To avoid errors, it is recommended that you mark the prescribed positions on the rack rails using a soft pencil.

Installation Sequence Each component of the BG-64 system is supplied separately and must be installed in the correct sequence according to the site plan.

A typical installation might include the equipment illustrated in the following figure. The different components in the illustration are described in the following table according to the steps.

NOTE: If you are not installing an FST for a particular BG-64 shelf, it is recommended that you leave empty space in the rack in case optical modules are added in the future. If you are not installing a BG-30E for a particular BG-64 shelf, it is highly recommended that you leave enough empty space (about 5U) above the BG-64 shelf in case one is added in the future.

CAUTION: If additional equipment is used in the rack, a heat buffer or

a buffer plate must be installed between such equipment and the BG-64 shelf to minimize the transfer of heat from shelf to shelf. This heat buffer must be purchased from ECI Telecom.

During the installation of equipment in the rack, make sure all the optical connectors are closed by protective caps. Do not remove the cap until an optical fiber is connected to the corresponding connector.


Equipment Installation


For illustrations of installation options, see Installation Options (on page 3-6).

Figure 3-1: Typical installation of a BG-64 shelf in an ETSI rack

NOTE: The FST must be installed below the BG-64. If the BG-30E is not installed, space above the BG-64 must be reserved for it.



Depending on the specific equipment being installed as listed in the site installation plan, the installation of a BG-64 system comprises the following stages, listed in the required order of execution.

Table 3-1: Outline of typical BG-64 equipment installation sequence Step Procedure

Unpacking and Performing Visual Inspection

Before you start:

Before unpacking, make a preliminary inspection of the shipping boxes. Immediately report evidence of damage to the carrier, the project manager, and your local ECI Telecom representative.

CAUTION: Static Sensitive Devices Proper handling and grounding precautions required

BG-64 equipment contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD damage, strictly observe all the precautions listed in Protection Against ESD (on page 2-19). Keep parts and cards in their antistatic packaging material until you are ready to install them.

The use of an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or rack is recommended when handling cards and modules during installation, removal, or connection to internal connectors.

You must unpack the equipment on a clean flat surface.

To unpack the equipment:

1. Place the shipping boxes with the top upwards, cut the sealing tape using a short knife so as not to damage the internal items, and open the top flaps.

2. Remove the items contained in the box and inspect each item for damage. Check for loose parts or any visual damage to the rack, shelf, and auxiliary equipment. Also check the integrity of all the connectors, leads, and cables.

NOTE: Do not remove plastic covers from optical connectors until optical cables are connected to them.

3. Search the shipping boxes for any additional small items that may be present.



4. Open each of the module and card packages for inspection, but do not remove the modules/cards from their individual protective packages until they can be inserted in the shelf.

5. Check the contents of the shipping boxes against the packing list attached to each box. If damaged parts are detected or if any parts are missing, notify the project manager and your local ECI Telecom representative immediately.

Installation Options It is recommended that BG-64 shelves be installed in ECI Telecom recommended racks. These racks can be installed on wooden, concrete, or suspended floors, or suspended from overhead mountings.

The following racks are supported:

| Standard 19 rack

| Standard ETSI

| Open frame

NOTE: BG-64 shelves can also be installed in standard street cabinets. Consult ECI Telecom for more details.

By default, the BG-64 is shipped with 19 mounting brackets. If you are installing in an ETSI rack, ETSI brackets must be ordered separately and replaced in the field.




You can install up to six BG-64 shelves in a rack. Typical installation of six BG-64 shelves in an ETSI 2200 rack is shown in the following figure.

Figure 3-2: Typical installation of six BG-64 shelves in an ETSI rack

If necessary, contact the ECI Telecom Customer Support team or your ECI Telecom sales representative for help in meeting your specific installation requirements.

NOTE: The BG-64 can be installed in ETSI racks and US 23 racks (with filters) or 19 racks (without filters), which have been approved by ECI Telecom.



Integrating BG-64 Shelves and Other Equipment in One Rack

BG-64 shelves and associated accessories may not occupy the entire rack. Additional equipment can then be installed in the remaining rack space, provided that any heat generated by additional equipment can be dissipated efficiently, and that thermal isolation is provided between the various equipment units.

In the event of additional equipment being installed on the rack, contact ECI Telecoms Customer Support team for assistance.

The following figure shows an example of a BG-64 shelf installed with an XDM-1000 shelf in an ETSI rack.

Figure 3-3: BG-64 and XDM-1000 installed in an ETSI rack




Installing Ancillary Units in Racks

ECI Telecom offers various accessories for efficient and optimal installation in racks. Contact ECI Telecoms Customer Support team or your ECI Telecom sales representative if you need custom modifications to standard items, or for additional items.

This section includes instructions for the installation of ancillary units. The specific units you need to install depend on your site installation plan and may include one or more of the following:

| RAP unit: For connecting up to four BG-64 shelves, or four BG-64 shelves with four BG-30E shelves on the same rack, usually located at the top of the rack. For more information, see Installing the RAP-BG (on page 3-10) and Installing the RAP-100.

Installing the RAP-BG

Before You Start:

Before connecting DC power cables, refer to DC Power Cables (on page 2-9).

For a description of the BG-RAP, refer to the BroadGate Product Line Reference Manual.

To install the RAP-BG:

1. Prepare DC power cables.

2. Install the RAP-BG in the prescribed location.

3. Ground the RAP-BG to the rack grounding stud.

4. Connect input DC power cables to the RAP-BG.

5. Connect the DC power cables of the BroadGate shelves to the RAP-BG.

6. Install circuit breakers.

7. Check power wiring.

Preparing DC Input Power Cables

NOTE: According to accepted industry standards for connecting DC power, the positive lead (+48 V) must be connected with a red cable, and the negative lead (-48 V) with a black cable. However, according to the BS7671 (GB) and HD 308 S2:2001 (EU) standards, the positive lead (+48 V) must be connected with a blue cable and the negative lead (-48 V) with a gray cable. In the following sections that describe DC power cable connections, use cables with appropriate colors to comply with the standards in your area of residence.

The DC input power cables connect the two DC power sources and the RAP-BG source A and source B inputs. Two cables are required, one for each source. Each cable consists of two stranded copper leads with a cross section of 50 mm2 (.078 in.2), one red and the other black. Each lead is terminated with a compression lug from the installation parts kit supplied with the equipment.

NOTE: When the RAP-BG provides power to a single BroadGate shelf, lower gauge cables may be used. Refer to DC Power Cables (on page 2-9) for DC power cable requirements.




CAUTION: If appropriate leads have already been prepared at the prescribed rack location, make sure that the leads are not connected to any live voltage source before attaching the lugs.

To prepare a DC power cable: 1. Strip about 22 mm (1 in.) of the red lead jacket. 2. Insert all lead strands into the lug sleeve. 3. Press at two or three different points on the lug sleeve using an appropriate

crimping tool and die. The recommended tools are Panduit CT-720 crimping tool with CD-720-2 die, Klauke K18 crimping tool with D50 die, or equivalent. It is recommended to use insulation tape (of the same color as the lead jacket) between the cable lug and the cable itself.

4. Repeat Steps 1 to 3 above for the black lead.

Installing the RAP-BG The RAP-BG is attached to the rack side rails at the top position of the rack.

To install the RAP-BG:

| Attach the RAP-BG to the side rails and secure it with the four screws, washers, and nuts supplied in the installation parts kit.

To ground the RAP-BG:

1. The RAP-BG grounding stud is located on its rear cover. Use the following figure to identify it.

Figure 3-4: Location of RAP-BG grounding stud

2. If necessary, prepare a grounding lead in accordance with the requirements described in Grounding Requirements (on page 2-14).

3. Connect the lug at one end of the grounding lead to the RAP-BG grounding stud, using a spring, washer, and nut.

4. Connect the lug at the other end of the grounding lead to the rack grounding stud.



To connect DC input power cables to the RAP-BG:

1. Before starting, identify the openings used to route power cables to the RAP-BG by referring to the following figure.

Figure 3-5: Identification of RAP-BG cable routes

2. Open the two captive screws fastening the RAP-BG front cover and remove the cover.

3. Identify the various terminals located on the power source terminal board by referring to the following figure (showing the terminals at source A side; a similar board is used at source B side).

Figure 3-6: Connecting DC power cables to the RAP-BG

CAUTION: Before connecting the power leads, make sure to identify the terminal polarity on the RAP-BG power terminal board.




4. Bring the two leads of one DC source A input power cable to the appropriate RAP-BG opening.

5. Attach the lug of the red lead to the positive stud terminal marked (+) on the power terminal board (see the previous figure).

6. Secure the lug using a flat washer, spring washer, and nut. Tighten the nut with a torque of 1450 N cm to 1600 N cm.

7. Attach the lug of the black lead to the negative stud terminal marked (-) on the power terminal board (see the previous figure).

8. Repeat Step 6 for the black lead lug.

9. If an additional power source (source B) is used, repeat Steps 3 to 8 for source B.

10. Securely attach the DC input power cables to the rack inner wall using cable ties.

During the following procedure, refer to the figures illustrating the RAP-BG DC connections in Connecting DC power cables to the RAP-BG (on page 3-12).

To connect the DC power cable to a shelf:

1. Before starting, identify the openings used to route power cables to the RAP-BG.

2. Insert the DC power cable end terminated in lugs of the BG-64 shelf through the opening for shelf power cables connecting to source A. If more shelves are installed in the rack, start by connecting the Shelf 1 cable.

3. Attach the red lead lug of the shelf power cable to the positive stud terminal of Shelf 1 on the power terminal board.

4. Secure the lug using a flat washer, spring washer, and nut. Tighten the nut with a torque of 320 N cm to 350 N cm.

5. Attach the black lead lug of the power cable to the negative stud terminal of Shelf 1 on the power terminal board.



6. Repeat Step 4 for the black lead lug.
