Safety Information
Following All Safety Precautions
Before any operation, read the instructions and precautions in this document carefully to minimize the possibility
of accidents.
The Danger, Caution, and Note items in the documents do not cover all the safety precautions that must be
followed. They only provide the generic safety precautions for operations.
When operating Huawei products and equipment, you must comply with safety precautions and special safety
instructions related to corresponding equipment provided by Huawei. The safety precautions in the document
are related to only Huawei products. Huawei is not liable for any consequence that results from the violation of
universal regulations for safety operations and safety codes on design, production, and equipment use.

Complying with the Local Safety Regulations

When operating the device, comply with the local safety regulations. The safety precautions provided in the
documents are supplementary. You must comply with the local safety regulations.

Qualified Personnel Only

The personnel in charge of installation and maintenance must be trained and master the correct operating
methods and safety precautions before beginning work.

Symbols
Indicates a hazard with a high level of risk, which if not avoided,will result in death
or serious injury.

Indicates a hazard with a medium or low level of risk, which if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided,could result in
equipment damage, data loss,performance degradation, or unexpected results.

Indicates a tip that may help you solve a problem or save time.

Provides additional information to emphasize or supplement important points of

the main text.
Safety of Personnel
• The high voltage power supply provides power for running the system. Direct contact with the high voltage
power supply or contact through damp objects may result in fatal danger.
• Non-standard and improper high voltage operations may result in fire and electric shock.
• In a thunderstorm, do not perform operations on high voltage and AC power supply facilities or on a steel
tower and mast.
• Ground the device before powering on the device. Otherwise, the personnel and device are in danger.
• Power off the device before performing operations on the power supply equipment.
• High power radio-frequency signals are harmful to human body. Before installing or maintaining an antenna
on a steel tower or mast with a large number of transmitter antennas, the operator should coordinate with all
parties to ensure that the transmitter antennas are shut down.
• When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet with unaided eyes.
• Protect yourself when drilling holes. Flying dust may hurt your eyes or you may inhale the dust.
• Power off the batteries before connecting the cables to the batteries. Otherwise, casualties may occur.
• When working at a height, be cautious about falling objects.

Device Safety
• Check the electrical connection of the device before operation and ensure that the device is reliably grounded.
• The static electricity generated by the human body may damage the electrostatic sensitive components on
the circuit board, such as the large-scale integrated circuit (LIC). Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves when
performing the operation.
• When working on batteries, take measures to prevent short circuits in the batteries and electrolyte spill/loss.
The electrolyte may erode metal and boards, or even cause rust of the equipment or short circuits in the boards.

6 Side-mounting BBU3900 directly on the wall

●When the internal environment of the equipment room is satisfied (for example, roof leakage
or heavy dust), do not side-mount the BBU on the wall.
● When side-mounting the BBU on the wall, the side with the fan must face downwards.

a Installing the BBU3900 Case

Install the mounting ears reversely. lace the triangle rack-mounting pieces against
the BBU mounting ears, and use four screws to
fix them together.

Mark the holes of the expansion bolts, drill the holes and
install the expansion bolts in them.

For the coaxial cable, the RX sheath is not grounded by default.

If the TX terminal is not grounded, the RX sheath is set grounded.

For the coaxial cable, the RX sheath is not grounded by default.

If the TX terminal is not grounded, the RX sheath is set grounded.

UTRP DIP switch

The SW1/SW2 uses two 4-bit switches to control the grounding
SW1 of 8-E1 signal cables. The settings are as follows:
● Default state OFF, RX sheath is not grounded.
SW2 ● If the RX sheath needs to be grounded, set all bits are to ON。

If the eight E1 links have bit errors, set the eight corresponding
bits to ON. In this way, the RX sheath is deemed as grounded
to correct the bit errors.

3 Reference for Installing the Satellite Antenna System

Procedures for installing the

satellite antenna system:
1. Perform the following steps to install the
antenna support.
2. Fix the antenna on the support according to
the antenna documents.
3. Connect the jumper to the antenna port.
4. Bind the jumper to the binding hole of the
support according to the actual conditions.
5. Take proper measures to protect the joint of
the jumper and the antenna against water.
1. On the basis of good signal quality, lower the
installation height of the satellite antenna support and
shorten the distance between the satellite antenna
support and the cabinet.
2. Recommended installation position: The distance
between the antenna and floor or roof is not more than 2
m, and the length of the external jumper is not more than
5 m.

1. Leave about 20 mm [0.79 in.] at both ends of the connector when coiling
the waterproof tape.
2. Coil the tape around the connector from bottom up and do not cut the
tape until the coiling is complete.
3. Before wrapping the waterproof tape, stretch the tape till the width of the Waterproof tape
tape becomes 1/2 of the original.
4. When wrapping the tape, ensure that the upper layer covers more than
50% of the lower layer.
5. Coil the insulation tape until it is 20 mm [0.79 in.] longer than the water-
proof tape at both ends of the connector.
