Installation Checklist
NO. Check Item
1 The chassis is positioned in the proper place as prescribed by the engineering design specific to the site.
When the chassis is installed in a 19-inch rack, ensure that the chassis does not come into contact with
the front door and cables are not pressed against the front door when the front door is closed.
2 Each chassis component does not have any paint drop, damage, or stain. Otherwise, re-paint or clean
the component.
3 After a card is installed on the chassis, tighten the screws on the front panel of the card.
4 Install filler panels in idle slots on the chassis.
5 Cables are laid out according to the engineering design, facilitating maintenance and expansion.
6 Cables are not damaged or broken, and there is no joint on the cables.
7 Each core wire of the cables must be tested for connectivity.
8 Cables are bundled properly with equal space between cable ties. The cable ties must be neat, and must
not have sharp edges. Cut the extra parts on cable ties.
9 Signal cables are correctly routed inside a cabinet.
10 Lay out cables outside the cabinet based on the following requirements:
•Cables are laid out neatly without crossing.
•If a cable ladder is used, fasten the cables neatly on the beam of the cable ladder. If the distance
between the cable tray and the cabinet top is greater than 0.8 m, install the cable ladder at the top of the
cable tray to reduce the stress generated by the weight of the cables.
11 Cables are bent smoothly and have a large bending radius.
12 Labels attached to both ends of signal cables are correctly written, securely attached 2 cm away from
connectors, and neatly placed in the same direction.
13 Power and ground cables are laid out separately from signal cables.
14 Protective caps are placed on unused cable connectors for protection.
15 The length of the protection tube of fiber patch cords in the cabinet is about 10 cm, and the tube must be
bound securely.
16 The cut end of the protection tube of fiber patch cords is smooth and without sharp edges. If the cut end
is not smooth, wrap it using insulation tape.
17 The tail fibers should not be bound over-tightly, and can be moved freely in the cable tie.
18 The connection points of tail fibers are clean and dustless. Unused optical fiber headers and blade optical
ports are protected by protective caps or protective plugs.
