4 Cabinet Requirements

NOTE
The cabinet may be installed on an ESD floor or a concrete floor. For
details about how to install a cabinet, see the Cabinet Installation
Guide delivered with a cabinet.
For cabinets with left-to-right air channels, such as open racks,
installing cabinets side by side may cause cascaded heating. Therefore,
you are advised to install cabinets with left-to-right air channels verti-
cally at different levels rather than side by side. If side-by-side installa-
tion cannot be avoided, it is recommended that the distance between
cabinets be at least 500 mm (19.67 in.).
If the device requires optical modules or attenuators with a puller,
ensure that sufficient space is available for routing optical fibers. For a
convex door or open rack, it is recommended that the distance
between the cabinet door and the front panel of the board be greater
than or equal to 120 mm (4.72 in.).
A minimum clearance of 50 mm must be maintained on the left and
right sides of an ATN device, and a minimum clearance of 75 mm
must be provided on the left and right sides of other types of devices.

The device must be installed in an IEC 19-inch cabinet or an ETSI 21-inch
cabinet.
Huawei A63E cabinet is recommended. If customers choose to purchase
cabinets by themselves, the cabinets must meet the following
requirements:
1. 19-inch or 21-inch cabinet with a depth of greater than or equal to
300 mm.
2. The cabling space in front of the cabinet complies with the cabling
space requirements of boards. It is recommended that the distance
between the cabinet door and any device board be greater than or equal
to 120 mm. If the cabling space is insufficient, cables will block the
cabinet door from closing. Therefore, a cabinet with broader cabling

nuts, and screws.
6. The cabinet has a ground terminal to connect to the device.
7. The cabinet has a cable outlet on the top or at the bottom for
overhead or underfloor cabling.
5 Installing a Device


NOTE
Certain steps support two installation modes. Select a proper PGND
cable installation mode according to cabling requirements. The PGND
cable can be connected to either the front or side face of the device.
Connecting the cable to the side face is preferred.
Figures in the document are for reference only, and the actual device
appearance may vary depending on the exact device model.


CAUTION

When installing a device in a cabinet, ensure that the total heat
consumption of all devices in the cabinet does not exceed the heat
dissipation capability of the cabinet.
To prevent air return from affecting heat dissipation, leave at least 2 U
space between devices in the cabinet.
Do not block the heat dissipation holes on panels.
A device that needs to share the same cabinet with other devices
cannot be installed near the air exhaust vents of those devices.
Consider the impact of a device's air exhaust vent on adjacent devices
to prevent high temperature.
When fastening floating nuts, a minimum clearance of 50 mm must
be maintained on the left and right sides of an ATN device, and a
minimum clearance of 75 mm must be provided on the left and right
sides of other types of devices.

Installing Optical Fibers

WARNING
When performing operations such as installing or maintaining optical
fibers, do not move your eyes close to or look into the optical fiber
outlet without eye protection.

CAUTION
Before routing internal optical fibers, install fixed optical attenuators
at the corresponding optical ports on devices according to the fixed
optical attenuator installation table.

NOTE
The bending radius of a single-mode G.657A2 optical fiber is no less
than 10 mm, and that of a multi-mode A1b optical fiber is no less
than 30 mm.
After laying out optical fibers, use binding straps to bind the fibers
neatly without squeezing them.
After the optical fibers are connected, the optical ports and optical
connectors that are not used must be covered by dustproof plugs and
dustproof caps, respectively.
Do not use an open-end corrugated pipe to hold excessive optical
fibers. It is recommended that an open-end corrugated pipe with a
diameter of 32 mm accommodate a maximum of 60 fibers with a
diameter of 2 mm.
It is recommended that the length of a corrugated pipe inside a cabi-
net be about 100 mm.

Appendix Inspecting and Cleaning
Optical Fiber Connectors and Adapters

Since the 50G optical module link uses the PAM4 encoding technology,
there are higher requirements on the optical fiber and cable quality and
the link is more sensitive to multipath reflection interference of signals.
If the fiber link connector, fiber section, or fiber splicing surface is dirty,
optical signals are reflected back and forth on the fiber link, causing
interference due to co-channel noise on the receive side. As a result, the
optical link is unstable or intermittently disconnected.To prevent this
issue, you need to check and clean the optical fiber connectors before
installation. For details, see Installation and maintenance > Preparing
for the installation> Inspecting and Cleaning Optical Fiber Connec-
tors and Adapters in the product documentation.
