1) DXC RACK WITH NGTRU, DEFLECTOR, SUBRACK, POWER CABLE

A) HOLES POSITION FOR DEFLECTOR AND SUBRACK INSTALLATION

B) DXC RACK INSTALLATION

Ideal height of rack is 7 feet and maximum allowable height of 8 feet, each rack should be grouted properly to ensure it can withstand the weight of equipment. Rack base should be installed beneath rack for sites which are in seismic zone >5. Install separate rack for fiber and coaxial cable distribution. Racks should be equipped with vertical cable managers for routing cables. Rack should have at least 3 feet of clearance in front and back for telecom equipment, and recommended 4 feet of clearance in front and back for servers rack.

If all rows of racks are arranged with the equipment intakes facing the same way, progressively hotter intake air is passed from one aisle to the next, so it is better to plan layout to create separate hot air and cold air aisles. Rack airflow and rack layout are key elements in cooling performance.

2 NGTRU INSTALLATION A) NGTRU POWER CONNECTIONS

For a 2-wire environment Ground & battery +ve are common. For this type of configuration, following is required to be followed: a. Shortening strip is required at the NGTRU end b. Jumper at DC-DC converter is also required.

c. Switch at DC-DC converter shall be in upper position d. Rack will be grounded and then NGTRU

Dont remove this strip, Make sure that this strip is in place

B) POWER & GROUND CONNECTION

C) FIBER OPTIC CABLE INSTALLATION

The first choice for installing fiber optic cables is to lay the cables within the fiber cable rack in a straight line enabling utilization of the maximum capacity of fiber support system. Three are ways to manage the acceptable slack limits with in cable rack.

Circular fiber spool should be used to store additional length of fiber patch chords. Fibers should be properly laid down without violating bending radius to avoid dislodging of or damage to the fiber and consequent impact on traffic.

F) GROUNDING IN DXC
Always connect Grounding cable from Ground bar to DXC Rack.

G) PATCH CORDS ROUTING

Patch cords to be connected to SFP with bend radius of 45 degree and Labels to be connected at 10mm from connectors. Fibers should be properly labeled in order to promptly and correctly identify them in case of field intervention. Fibers should be routed properly considering bending radius requirement, also bending protection should be mounted in equipment/rack to respect minimum bend radius. Unused patch chord connectors should be protected with covers to avoid dust accumulation on the interface.

When routing patch chord away from the equipment, consider how the fan assemblies, modules, and power supplies are removed and inserted when it comes time for upgrades or replacements. low smoke Zero Halogen quality patch chords should be used, which prevents spreading of fire. Patch-cords should be cleaned by Cleansing Tissue soaked with Isopropyl Alcohol whenever there is patch-cord removal for any type of maintenance activity. Ensure availability of isopropyl alcohol and cleaning tissue at all sites. Fibers and cables should not cross front-areas of other boards to allow safe board-swap and fiber/cable management. Routing of the patch cords should be routed properly and tie them Velcro tape.
