Prerequisites

The required parts are all ready, including subracks and screws.

If there is space in the cabinet, add the subrack there. If there is no space for a new
subrack, add a cabinet.

Context
NOTICE:
To protect the components from electrostatic discharge, wear an ESD wrist strap properly.
Ensure that the ESD wrist strap is properly connected to the ESD connector on the cabinet. If
no ESD wrist strap or no proper grounding point is available, wear ESD gloves.
NOTICE:
Due to heavy weight, four person are required to install a subrack.

Procedure
1.

Optional: (This step is required only when floating nuts are not installed in the
mounting bar at the front side of the cabinet.) Take floating nuts out of the ESD bag at
the bottom of the cabinet and install them in the place highlighted in yellow, as shown
in Figure 1.

NOTE:
Three holes in the mounting bar are known as 1 U space. One subrack occupies 36
holes.
One subrack is fixed by 4 pairs of floating nuts installed symmetrically. The floating nuts
are installed in the 3rd, 12th, 25th, and 34th holes above the guide rail where the
subrack will be installed.
2.

person hold the mounting ears and support the base of the subrack. Slide the
subrack along the guiding rail into the cabinet, and then fasten the screws to fix the
subrack.

3.

Set the DIP switch based on the new subrack location according to instructions in DIP
Switch on a Subrack.
NOTICE:

4.

You must set the DIP switch before powering on the subrack. The setting
after the power-on is invalid.
Different subracks must have different DIP-switch settings. If two subracks in
the share the same DIP-switch settings, services on the two subracks will be
interrupted.
If the DIP-switch setting of the new subrack is the same as that of another
subrack and services in the two subracks are consequently interrupted, set the
DIP switches of the two subracks properly and reset the two subracks to restore
services.

Install the power cables and PGND cables for the new subrack.
Install the power cables and PGND cables for the subrack, please refer to Installing
Power Cables and PGND Cables Between a BSC6900 Cabinet and the PDF

Check whether cables in the new subrack are correctly connected.

Turn on the power switch on the power distribution frame (PDF).

10 Turn on the power switch controlling the subrack on the power distribution box.
11 Commission the data loading and services.
For details on the commissioning methods, see Commissioning Guide.
12 Check whether alarms related to subrack failure such as Cell Setup Failure are cleared
after the subrack is replaced. Clear the alarms by referring to the online alarm
reference on the LMT. If the alarms persist, contact Huawei technical support.
