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

5 Mark the location of each BG-64 shelf, relevantaccessories (Fiber Storage Tray [FST], OpticalDistribution Frame [ODF], Digital DistributionFrame [DDF], and MCP30 InterconnectionPanel [ICP_MCP30]) on each rack, inaccordance with the site installation plan.Notes :

Only for BG-64 installation, it isrecommended that you leave at least 4 U ofspace above the BG-64 shelf to enable futureinstallation of the BG-30E shelf.

The BG-64 can only support balanced E1interfaces directly. For unbalanced E1s, thexDDF-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 yourapplication, the ICP_MCP30 must beinstalled in order to distribute the

concentrated Auxiliary connector intodedicated connectors for each function.

Equipment Installation(page 3-1)

6 When applicable, install the EMS-BGFmanagement station.

EMS-BGF InstallationGuide

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


8 Install the BG-64 shelves in the appropriate rack. Equipment Installation(page 3-1)

9 For each BG-64 shelf where optical modules areused, install an FST under the BG-64 shelf androute the optical fibers to the FST.

Note : Even if you are not currently installing anFST, it is recommended that you leave enoughspace beneath the BG-64 shelf to enable futureinstallation.

Site PreparationPerform a preliminary survey of the installation site, taking the following intoconsideration:

System environmental requirements Physical location of the BG-64 platforms 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 RequirementsThe environmental conditions listed in the following table are applicable toBG-64 equipment and must be ensured at the installation site.

Table 2-2: Environmental requirements

Parameter Compliance requirements

Electromagnetic interference EN 55022/94, EN 50082-1/92

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

Physical LocationW ARNING : BG-64 shelves are intended for installation inrestricted-access areas only.

Before you start:

Choose the physical location of the BG-64 shelves, taking the followingaspects into consideration:1. Equipment dimensions (see the following table).

2. Required floor loading capability: 100 kg for a typical eight-shelfinstallation.3. Routing requirements for grounding, power, alarm monitoring,

management cables, and optical fibers. To ensure convenient access tocables and fibers, it is recommended, whenever possible, to use overheadcable ladders to bring the cables/fibers to the top of each rack.

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

Installing BG-64 in Racks

Installation PlanFollow these guidelines for installing BG-64 platforms and ancillary equipmentin racks.

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

Removable rear and side panels, enabling tidy leading and efficientmaintenance of all rack cables, including:

PCM/E1/E3/DS-3/STM-1e cables

Control cables

Power cables

Data cables

Voice frequency cables

Timing cables


23/202


Before You Start


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

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

Front door mountable for left or right opening

BG-64 equipment racks can be installed on wooden, concrete, or floatingfloors, or suspended from overhead mountings.

Typical BG-64 InstallationSee the figure Typical installation of six BG-64 shelves in an ETSI rack (page3-7 ) for a typical installation of a BG-64 shelf in an ECI Telecom ETSI rack. Inthis figure, six 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 connectexternal power and alarm monitoring lines (RAP-4B only) to the BG-64shelves installed in the rack. The RAP fully supports up to four shelveswith dual power feeding. In addition to the space needed for RAPinstallation, you must leave at least 50 mm of free space under the RAP forcable routing.

NOTE : The RAP-BG does not support alarm monitoringlines.

Fiber Storage Tray. A separate FST can be installed for each BG-64 withoptical 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 freespace 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-64shelf 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 Auxiliaryconnector into dedicated connectors for each function. The ICP_MCP30can be installed anywhere on the same rack as the BG-64 shelf.


24/202



Integrating BG-64 Shelves and Other

Equipment in One RackBG-64 shelves and associated accessories may not occupy the entire rack.Additional equipment may, therefore, be installed in the remaining rack space,

provided that any heat generated by additional equipment can be dissipatedefficiently, and that thermal isolation is provided between the variousequipment units.

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

Preparing Cables and FibersGrounding Cables

Platform grounding is achieved by connecting the platform to the rack usingrack mounting brackets. Grounding is provided by contact when the unit isfastened to the rack.

A reliable low-impedance connection must be provided using copperconductors 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 mm 2) or thicker copper lead with yellow/greeninsulation, 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-holecompression lug. If the lug is not plated, polish it until it has a bright finish andcoat it with antioxidant before connecting it to the frame of the rack. Do notmix different types of metal conductors.


25/202


Before You Start


DC Power CablesDC power cables must be prepared on site. Two types of DC power cables areneeded:

RAP input power cables

Platform power cables

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

RAP Input Power Cables

The RAP input power cables are prepared on site. They connect input powerfrom the site power distribution subsystem to the DC input terminals of theRAP.

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

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

multiple BG-64 platforms.When the RAP is used to provide power to a single BG-64 platform, lower-leadgauges may be used, as follows:

For runs not exceeding 20 meters, use 10 mm 2 copper leads.

For runs not exceeding 30 meters, use 16 mm 2 copper leads.

Shelf Power CablesOne 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.


26/202



Alarm CablesAlarm cables used within BG-64 equipment are included in the shipmentaccording to site specifications.

The alarm indications are carried by the shelf alarm indication cable. One shelfalarm 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, analarm cable connects between the Auxiliary connector on the MCP64 and oneof the Alarms connectors on the RAP (RAP-4B only). If the ICP_MCP30 isinstalled, another alarm cable connects between the Alarms connector on theICP_MCP30 and one of the Alarms connectors on the RAP (RAP-4B only).Cable length is 2 m.

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

Management CablesOut-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 directconnection through an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 straight cable to a port of a 10BaseTEthernet 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 thecables must not exceed the maximum recommended for the cable type and hub

port in use (up to a few dozen meters).

Timing (Clock) CablesThe BG-64 shelf uses an RJ-45 connector on the MCP64 front panel thatintegrates 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-45connector (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.703interfaces, configure an adapter with coaxial cables that provides

balanced-to-unbalanced conversion (supplied by ECI Telecom).

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

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

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

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

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

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

The rack is supplied with a main copper or brass grounding bolt welded to therack 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 35mm 2 (2 AWG) grounding cable or thicker, as short as possible, complying withUL/ETSI recommendations. The bolt must be free of paint. The cable must bemade 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 maingrounding bolt must be less than 0.1 .

Pay particular attention to the area in which the RAP is attached. Remove paintfrom the rack in this area to ensure efficient electrical contact.

C AUTION : Connect the RAP grounding bolt to the rackgrounding bolt with a grounding cable complying withUL/ETSI recommendations. The cable must include boltterminals on both ends and be securely fastened with a nutand a star washer.


32/202



Power Supply RequirementsThe BG-64 and BG-30E shelves require two power sources with a nominalvoltage 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 theinstallation parts kit supplied with the equipment, and therefore, their currentrating is in accordance with the order.

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

Protection Against Electrostatic DischargeThis section provides guidelines regarding the protection of BG-64 equipmentand its components against electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling,

packing/unpacking, transport, installation, commissioning, inspections,servicing, and maintenance.

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

Figure 2-2: Basic ESD warning symbol

The information provided in this section is in line with CENELEC ElectronicComponents Committee (CECC) specification CECC 00 015, which deals with

protection of devices sensitive to ESD.

Most types of electronic equipment, assemblies, and components can bedamaged by electrostatic discharges. An ESD between two objects occurswhen an object carrying static electrical charges touches or is brought nearanother object.

Static electrical charges appear as a result of friction between surfaces ofinsulating materials or separation of two such surfaces, and may also beinduced by electrical fields. Routine activities such as walking across aninsulating floor, friction between garment parts, friction between objects, andso on, can easily build up charges to levels that may cause damage, especiallywhen humidity is low.

In many cases, the build-up of charge can be avoided by using specialmaterials, for example, garments and packaging of antistatic materials ormaterials 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 electrostaticcharges when entering the protected work environment

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


37/202


Before You Start


Personnel Training

During production and assembly, equipment is handled in workspacesespecially prepared and certified to serve as a permanent EPA. However, inmany cases, the environment in which the same equipment is installed ormaintained 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 assembliesclassified as ESDS, together with associated packing and unpacking activities.All the staff involved in field work must be trained to perform their work in thesame way as that performed in permanent EPAs with respect to the materialquality, personal responsibilities, training, labeling, and packing.

Use of a Temporary EPAWhere necessary, use a temporary EPA. The EPA toolkit includes:

Wrist strap with 1 M series resistor Bonding strap with 1 M series resistor ESD carpet (work surface), 0.25 m 2 minimum

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

C AUTION : The temporary EPA must be constructed in a waythat ensures electrical bonding of all the materials used, and

prevents the occurrence of any sudden changes in potentialwithin the EPA that could cause unacceptable voltages ordischarges to be applied to ESDS.

The operator and any work surface and flooring must be bonded to groundequipotentially. For this purpose, the work surface and wrist straps must be

bonded either to a designated ground bonding point or to the equipment beingserviced.Whenever available, the mains ground serves as the ESD grounding facility.

W ARNING : While the operator is within the temporary EPA,the minimum value of resistance used for bonding to groundmust limit the current to ground, produced by voltagesaccessible to the operator, to limits specified as safe by theapplicable regulations (see, for example, CECC 00 015). Thesame approach is applicable to the surface resistance andresistance to ground of materials used for temporary worksurfaces and flooring.


38/202



To enable ESD bonding to ground of equipment racks and any othernonmoveable equipment containing ESD, an ESD ground-bonding facility

must be located near such equipment, or the equipment must be fitted with adesignated ground-bonding point presenting a resistance to ground not greaterthan 1 M .

Work Arrangements within a TemporaryEPATo ensure that effective ESD protection is indeed achieved, the followingarrangements must be observed by persons entering and/or performing fieldwork within a temporary EPA:

All operators working within a temporary EPA 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 towalk 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 ESDS equipment and transfer it to atemporary work surface away from the other equipment, the ESDS must begiven protective packaging unless equipotential bonding to ground of theoperator is maintained.

An ESDS unit must be placed directly into protective packaging when it isremoved from equipment. A replacement ESDS must be kept in its

protective packaging until required for immediate installation in theequipment.

The field service operator must ensure that the materials and toolsnecessary 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 constructedso that they do not generate or hold an induced electrostatic charge.

Unpacking and PerformingVisual 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, andyour local ECI Telecom representative.

C AUTION : Static Sensitive Devices Proper handling and grounding precautions required

BG-64 equipment contains components sensitive to ESD. To prevent ESD damage, strictly observe all the precautionslisted in Protection Against Electronic Discharge (page 2-20 ).Keep parts and cards in their antistatic packaging materialuntil you are ready to install them.The use of an antistatic wrist strap connected to a groundedequipment frame or rack is recommended when handlingcards and modules during installation, removal, or connectionto internal connectors.

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 one for damage.

Check for loose parts or any visual damage to the rack, platform, andauxiliary equipment. Also check the integrity of all the connectors, leads,and cables.

NOTE : Do not remove plastic covers from optical connectorsuntil 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 notremove the modules/cards from their individual protective packages untilthey can be inserted in the platform.

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

Installing Ancillary Units inRacks

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

This section includes instructions for the installation of ancillary units. Thespecific units you need to install depend on your site installation plan and mayinclude 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 ofthe rack. For more information, see Installing the RAP-BG (page 3-11 ) andInstalling the RAP-4B (page 3-17 ).

FST: Located under the BG-64B shelf, recommended for installations witha large number of optical modules. For more information, see Installing theFiber Storage Tray (page 3-24 ).

ODF units: For more information, see Installing the ODF (page 3-26 ).

xDDF-21: This unit must be installed for unbalanced E1 interfaces. Formore information, see Installing the xDDF-21 Patch Panel (page 3-29 ).

ICP_MPC30: This unit is used to distribute the concentrated Auxiliary

connector on the MCP64 panel into dedicated connectors for each function.For more information, see Installing the ICP_MCP30 (page 3-30 ).

In general, ancillary units are attached to the rack side rails by four M6 Phillipsscrews. No preparation is required before installation. The following sections

provide mechanical installation instructions for units that require additional procedures. Skip sections that are not relevant to your particular application.

C AUTION : If additional equipment other than BG-64 shelvesis used in the rack, a heat buffer must be installed betweensuch equipment and the BG-64 shelf to minimize the transferof heat from shelf to shelf. Consult your ECI Telecom

representative regarding the exact heat buffer required.

Installing the RAP-BG

Before You Start:

Before connecting DC power cables, see DC Power Cables (page 2-9 ).For a description of the RAP-BG, see 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 platforms to the RAP-BG.6. Install circuit breakers.7. Check power wiring.

Preparing DC Input Power Cables

NOTE : According to accepted industry standards forconnecting DC power, the positive lead (+48 V) must beconnected with a red cable and the negative lead (-48 V) witha black cable. However, according to the BS7671 (GB) andHD 308 S2:2001 (EU) standards, the positive lead must beconnected with a blue cable and the negative lead with a graycable. In the following sections that describe DC power cableconnections, use cables of appropriate colors to comply withthe standards in your area of residence.

The DC input power cables connect the two DC power sources and theRAP-BG source A and source B inputs. Two cables are required, one for eachsource. Each cable consists of two stranded copper leads with a cross section of50 mm 2 (.078 in. 2), one red and the other black. Each lead is terminated with acompression lug from the installation parts kit supplied with the equipment.

NOTE : When the RAP-BG provides power to a singleBroadGate platform, lower gauge cables can be used. See DCPower Cables (page 2-9) for DC power cable requirements.

C AUTION : If appropriate leads have already been preparedat the prescribed rack location, make sure that the leads arenot connected to any live voltage source before attaching thelugs.
