2.2

Installation of S and L racks

2.2.1

Overview
S and L racks can be installed in three ways:

2.2.2

Placed on a table: a maximum of three racks can be stacked on top of each other.

Mounted directly on a wall: a kit, available as an option, enables S racks to be

wall-mounted.

Mounted in a standard 19" cabinet: the rack is mounted in the cabinet by means of
guide rails (provided by the cabinet supplier), or using an optional 19" mounting kit (there is
a kit for each type of rack).

Installation procedure in a standard 19" cabinet

Installation recommendations:
Before installating a rack in the cabinet, check that:
1. The max. static load capacity (given by the supplier) of the cabinet is greater than the total
weight of the equipment mounted or to be mounted in the cabinet,
2. The weight of the racks is evenly distributed over the height of the uprights,
3. If installing the rack would result in excessive load on the front uprights (this usually
corresponds to total cabinet weight capacity divided by two) the rack must be placed on a
shelf attached to all four uprights.
Rack installation procedure:
-

In order to simplify the mounting procedure, the standard cabinet is

represented only by the two front uprights of the rack.
Check beforehand that the mounting kit is complete. Each rack requires two
guide rails with its fastening elements and two locking pins.

Step 1: attaching the locking pins on the guiding rails.

-

Place the slots of the fastening pin at the level of the screw heads of the guide rail (in 1),
then seat it against the stop (in 2).

&  ! "# $ '(

2-1

Chapter

'(

Fasten the two screws of the guide rail until the fastening pin is locked.

Repeat these operations with the second fastening pin.

Step 2: Identifying the mounting positions of the rack in the cabinet.

In order to optimize distribution of the rack(s) in the cabinet, place them in the cabinet, then
mark on the uprights the mounting positions of the guide rails (in 3).

2-2

&  ! "# $ '(

Step 3: attaching the guide rails on the front uprights of the cabinet.
-

Clip the nuts at the marked positions (step 2) on the rear face of the two uprights.

Place the guiding rail against the upright (in 4) with the openings of the rail in front of the
nuts. Then, fit these screws in the openings and tighten them (in 5).

&  ! "# $ '(

Connecting DECT or PWT base stations

The Alcatel 4070 IO base station is designed to be installed inside the building (indoors),
whereas the Alcatel 4070 EO base station is designed for outdoor installation.
A base station can be connected to 1 or 2 UA links (UAI boards) and allows 3 or 6
simultaneous calls with DECT/PWT or GAP terminals.
The requirement for three or six communication channels depends on the number of wireless
terminals and the traffic to be handled.
If connection is with two cables:
-

use two adjacent UAI board interfaces

use the even interface for the master link and the other for the slave link.

The two cables must be of the same length. The first interface of the system UAI16 board must
not be used as the attendant console uses these points.

Mains socket fuse: T2.5 AH / 250V (time-delayed, high breaking capacity).

The system is delivered with a 3 m (9.8') three-wire cable to be connected to the mains power
socket.
Permanent ground
The system must be permanently grounded due to leakage currents in excess of 3.5 mA on all
line accesses (safety restriction CEI60950 ed.03). To achieve this, use a ground wire with a
cross-sectional area of 4 mm2 minimum (8AWG), connected to the stud at the rear of the rack

Optional External Battery Rack

5.4.1

Presentation

5.4.1.1

Overview
The external battery rack is used to increase the operating autonomy on S or L type rack
batteries. Although the internal battery only ensures a few minutes of autonomy, the external
battery rack ensures between one and eight hours of operation, depending on configuration.
The use of an external battery rack requires:
-

Specific S and L racks (see References ). These racks do not have internal batteries, but
instead have a connector to connect an external battery rack. The external battery rack is
intended to operate with software version R5.1.2 or above.

Specific CS board micro switches setting, when the CS board is in controller position in the
S or L rack. The micro switches setting must correspond to the 0x09 value (see module
Small & Large racks - Hardware description CS Board). If this value is different from
0x09, the CS board cannot monitor the activity of an external battery rack (e.g. to detect
the end of battery autonomy).

There are two types of external battery racks:

-

The 12V battery rack which is used to back up an S type rack. This rack can contain two or
three batteries.

The 36V battery rack which is used to back up an L type rack. This rack can contain three
or six batteries.

&  ! ,#  -

Figure 5.20: System Rack and its Battery Rack

An external battery rack can only back up a system rack. The system rack can be used to host
the Call Server, either as Media Gateway or as extension rack.
Battery racks are fitted with 12V / 7Ah type batteries in series or in parallel. A battery rack does
not have a charger. The system rack power supply recharges the batteries.
The batteries are usually provided by Alcatel-Lucent. It is possible, however, to use compatible
batteries. The installer should ensure that all the batteries in a rack are provided by the same
manufacturer and, if possible, are of identical release. If this is not the case, the life time of the
unit may be affected.
As of R6.2, there are two packages for the batteries:
-

2U/12V Battery Rack and 2U/36V Battery Rack,

12V Battery Box and 36V Battery Box

The 2U Battery Racks and Battery Boxes use the same battery element (12V/3Ah). In the two
cases, the PCX autonomy is identical.
Caution:
The 2U/12V Battery Rack or 12V Battery Box should only be connected to a 1U rack. The 2U/36V
Battery Rack or 36V Battery Box should only be connected to a 3U rack. If this is not the case,
there is a risk of damaging racks.

5.4.1.2

Operation
When the mains power is cut off, the system automatically switches to batteries. The power
supply of the system rack sets the electric Batmode signal to battery.
The board in the controller position (GD or CS) monitors this Batmode signal.

5-18

When switching to batteries, this board generates an incident (incident no. 1544 if the CS
is in the controller position; incident 5856 if the GD is in the controller position).

If the mains power returns, an incident is generated (incident no. 1545 if the CS is in the
controller position; incident 5858 if the GD is in the controller position).

If battery autonomy expires (battery low), incident 1521 is generated if the CS is in the

&  ! ,#  -




-



controller position. Boards GD, GA and CS in the rack stop (shutdown).

Compatibility between software and hardware versions
New hardware and software prior to R5.1.2: it is necessary to place the strap (delivered with
the rack) on the power supply board (see details for placing the strap: module Small & Large
racks - Maintenance Replacing a board). No incident is generated when changing to battery
mode. The shutdown is carried out after a time predefined by the swinst tool (1 mn by default).
Old hardware and software R5.1.2 or above: the system rack operates with the internal
batteries (low autonomy). The loss of the mains power causes the Call Server to shut down
after a time specified in the configuration. No incident is sent to the administrator.

Overview
As of R6.0 and R5.1.2, the MR1/MR3 racks (also called S & L racks) can be powered with 48V
DC. Using of 48V DC requires a special rack called MR148V or MR348V.
For 48V DC power supply:
-

Alcatel-Lucent offers a 500 W charger rack (recommended). This charger rack can power
up to 3 MR148V/MR348V racks.
The charger rack includes a rectifier and backup batteries. An optional battery rack
provides extended autonomy. According to the autonomy required, there can be up to 8
batteries in the charger rack and up to 8 batteries in battery rack.

Figure 5.39: MR1/MR3 with their Charger and Batteries Racks

5-32

Use an existing 48V DC power supply available on the customer site. The customer power
supply must comply with the table: table: Operation Mode vs Input Voltage . When a 48V
DC customer power supply is used a specific power supply cable is required.

&  ! ,#  -

Figure 5.40: Example of MR1/MR3 with a Customer 48V DC Power Supply

5.5.1.2

Operation
When the main power cuts off, the charger rack automatically switches to batteries. The
MR148V/MR348V rack detects the switchover by measuring the input voltage level. The
electric "Batmode" signal is set to "Batteries".
The board in the controller position (GD or CS) monitors this Batmode signal.
-

When switching to batteries, the GD or CS board generates an incident (incident no. 1544
if the CS is in the controller position; incident 5856 if the GD is in the controller position).

If the mains power returns, an incident is generated (incident no. 1545 if the CS is in the
controller position; incident 5858 if the GD is in the controller position).

If the batteries are low, incident 1521 is generated if the CS is in the controller position.
Boards GD, GA and CS in the rack shutdown. 20 minutes after boards are not supplied
anymore.

When batteries are very low, the charger rack switches off.

Charger rack failure can be notified to the telecom manager through RMA.

Figure 5.43:
Safety instructions
Before use, read the instructions given by the battery manufacturer
Risks when using the batteries
Electrical risk:
Each battery element must have protection adapted to the power supply and to the link cables.
An adapted circuit breaker or fuse must be able to insulate the batteries in the event of a short
circuit.
Risk of injury:
The metallic parts of the batteries are live. There is a risk of an electric shock or a short circuit.
Only touch the insulated parts of the batteries. In particular, non-insulated tools should not be
used and bracelets and rings should not be worn.
Risk of explosion:
Regardless of the conditions for use, hydrogen may escape from the batteries through the
pressure relief valves. As a result, under no circumstances should you use the charger rack
and the battery rack in an unventilated area.

5.5.4.2

Preliminary Operation
It is recommended to carry out two battery charge/discharge cycles before installation. This
operation is used to obtain the optimum battery characteristics. This operation is not necessary
if the batteries have been stored for less than nine months at a temperature of between 20 . 25
C (max 30 C).

5.5.5

Installing an External 48V Supply

When a 48V power supply compatible (with the requirements detailed : table: Operation Mode
vs Input Voltage ) is available, it can be connected in place of the charger rack.
The protective ground must be connected as with charger rack.
The MR1-48V / MR3-48V rack is permanently connected to the customer 48VDC power
supply. A customer 48VDC panel must be installed nearby.
This panel must have for each rack:
-

A screw-down terminal block

An isolating switch to power down

A fuse or a breaker (10 A) for protection

The 3EH 76194 cable, called Extenal Cable MR1/MR3 48V must be used to connect the 48V
power supply.

6.1

Replacing the internal batteries

Internal batteries are replaced with the system powered down and after removing the mains
connector, unscrewing the back panel and undoing the battery rack.
To ensure correct balance, replace all batteries at the same time with batteries of the same
type, same supplier and same batch.
To ensure system shutdown does not result in data loss if mains power is cut off or the
wall-mounted plug disconnected, replace the batteries every two years. This maintenance
operation is essential to make sure that there is sufficient backup power to enable files to be
saved before the system shuts down.
When delivered, batteries are not charged. File save in the event of a mains power loss can
only be guaranteed once the batteries have been charged, that is approximately 12 hours after
the system is powered on (GD switch set to ON).
Battery characteristics
-

Number: one (S rack) or three serial (L rack)

Important:
Replace only with a battery of the same type or equivalent recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries following the manufacturer's instructions.

6.2

Replacing external batteries

Batteries in the external batteries rack can be replaced "hot". The associated system rack does
not have to be stopped.
As with the initial installation, batteries can be provided by Alcatel-Lucent. Compatible batteries
may also be used. See the module Small & Large racks - Power connections Storage for
installation instructions and precautions.

For maximum operating security, you are advised to change the external batteries every two
years.

6.3

Battery maintenance
It is recommended that CS and GA board batteries be replaced with batteries of the same type
every two years. Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.

6.4

Ventilation system, maintenance

Take advantage of the periodic battery replacement operations to clean the system ventilation
louvers with a brush or cloth.
When the system operates with no fan (S rack) or one fan (L rack) in working order, only the
external digital T0/T2 accesses and the first two interfaces of Alcatel-Lucent Reflexes
terminals remain operational.

6.5

Replacing a board

6.5.1

Recommendations
All boards have an OBC component. This component allows boards to exchange data with the
GD board.
For the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise CS, release 3.0 or higher of this component is
required.
A label affixed on the component shows the release. The OBC is located in a socket, allowing
it to be removed without desoldering.
Component location is shown below (for a MIX board).
