1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose and Structure of the Manual

1.1.1 Aims of Installation and Commissioning

Installation and commissioning is based on an extensive and high quality final factory

test. In the factory each part is tested during its production process. The final factory test

measures all RF parameterssuch as power and modulationspectrum in their respective

shelter configuration according to the customer purchase order. All measurements are

in accordance with the 3GPPstandards.

Due to these assumptions the installation test can be concentrated on a functional test

of the delivered HW.

The installation and commissioning of a network element is proof of:

Complete equipment delivery according to network planning and the customer order

Correct mechanical and electrical installation according to the installation docu-

ments

Correct functioning of the supplied hardware and software

The subdivision of the test into the following steps

final factory test

installation/commissioning (HW-test)

network integration (data base test)

allows a quick, economical and reliable commissioning procedure.This is according to the requirements for modern communication systems regarding in-

tegrated self-test procedures. Since the function test is based on self-test routines, a

high degree of reliability is achieved.

1.1.2 Structure of the Manual

This document is intended as a guide to the installation test for the benefit of the com-

missioning personnel.

The manual is divided into the following sections:

Section 1: Introduction - gives general background information relevant to precau-

tions, in handling the modules and to the prerequisites and test strategy.

Section 2: Tasklist- gives the list of commissioning activities.

Section 3: Procedures- this section describes the procedures to be executed for

checking the equipment of a Node B after installation on site.

1.2.2 System Voltages

All the system internal units require a power supply of -48 V DC(positive pole ground-

ed). The external power supply is provided by ACmains supply of 230 V. Only trainedpersonnel should carry out those jobs.

Care must be taken because some parts heat up to a high operating temperature.

This warning must appear in the original German text:

Alle internen Systemeinheiten bentigen eine Gleichspannung von -48 V DC (positiver

Pol an Masse). Die externe Stromversorgung erfolgt ber eine Wechselspannung von

230 V. Nur ausgebildetes Personal darf entsprechende Arbeiten bernehmen.

Weiterhin ist zu beachten, dass sich einige Bauteile stark erhitzen.

Protection against excessive voltage contact

1.2.3 Handling of Components

Cards/modules

Avoid touching the component connections, connector contacts or conductor tracks

(even when you are carefully grounded).

When extracting and inserting cards or modules, make sure you use the pulling and

plugging handles provided!

Modules which are in a shielded unopened housing are protected in any event.

When you take a card/module out of its place in the system, lay it down on an antistatic

mat.

Make sure that all measuring equipment used is grounded.

If you are using ungrounded measuring equipment, briefly connect the measuring probe

to ground (discharge it) before performing measurements on cards or modules.

Theplug connectors are unique coded to ensure that each card/module can only be fully

inserted into a mounting location which cannot cause any damage to the component.

!DANGERWhen dealing with the power supply, note regulation VDE0105 (operation of heavy

current systems) with regard to the safety precautions to be taken.

iNOTEWhen handling devices like PCs, monitors, printers, tape drives, etc. note the manu-

facturers instructions.

iNOTEEuropean standard EN50082-1 contains instructions on correct handling of electrostat-

ic sensitive devices.

!CAUTIONIf the cards/modules are only being gripped by their pulling and plugging handles, they

should not be transported in a horizontal position (danger of breakage).

Cards/modules of the same type are fully interchangeable, provided that their hardware

settings are corresponding (if applicable).

Moist cards/modules

After storage in a humid environment, modules with condensation moisture must be

dried before they are used. This is important because otherwise the modules will be

damaged or destroyed.

Special hint regarding the optical modules

Cards/modules containing a laser device are marked with labels according to EN 60825

/ IEC 60825 and EN 60825-1 / IEC 60825-1.

Fig. 1.2 Laser Warning Labels

Fiber-optic cables must be handled appropriately and with due care. Cable must not be

bent more tightly than the minimum bending radius (30 mm).

Optical connectors must not, in any circumstance, become kinked - even for a short pe-

riod - or be subjected to impact loads. Similarly, tensile loading must not be imposed on

these connectors.

Protective covers must be fitted to fiber-optic (FO) connectors that are exposed, i.e. not

connected.

Mechanical damage of the FOsurfaces inside optical connector surfaces reduces the

transmission quality (increased attenuation).

LASER CLASS 1

!WARNINGTo avoid damage to health, you must observe the regulations regarding protection

against radiation from laser devices (EN 60825 / IEC 60825). You must always use

dedicated laser-protective goggles. Never look into open fiber-optic cable ends, as this

may damage your eyes.

So avoid any impact load when handling the connectors.

If necessary, e. g. in case of excessive optical attenuation, the light emittingsurfaces of the fiber-optic connectors should be cleaned with a suitable clean-

ing agent (e. g. 99 % isopropanol).

To create an optical connection with minimum attenuation it is important that

the individual connector elements are properly and securely seated. The same

applies to fiber-optic connectors on the optical cards.

1.2.4 CE Declaration of Conformity

Fig. 1.3 CE Symbol

!Important!

The declaration of CEconformity for the product is fulfilled if the setup and wiring arecarried out as described in the manual and the documents contained therein, such as

installation instructions, cable lists, etc. Project-specific documentation should be taken

into account as appropriate. Deviations from specifications or unauthorized changes in

the setup, such as the use of cable types with less shielding, can lead to a violation of

CE safety requirements. In such cases, the declaration of conformity is rendered void.

The responsibility for the resulting problems passes to the individual who caused the

deviation.

16/33



1.4 Test Strategy

When commissioning the Node B, certain measurements and functional tests are nec-

essary to ensure that the hardware is correctly installed and has not suffered any dam-age or defects in transit or during installation. It is also necessary to check that the

cabling has been installed correctly and has no faults.

To ensure a close work cycle all steps have to be performed according to the task list

and in the sequence of the listing.

1.4.1 Principle of Node B Testing

After the power supply of the Node B is switched on, all boards perform a self-test which

can be considered the first test step. When the boards reach the state green (green

LEDindications mean that SWis loaded (see 3.5), activated and the HWobjects are

created), they passed the self-test and are O.K. If they dont pass the self-test they mustbe exchanged.

The Node B is tested with the original customer hardware configuration and the original

software version that will run when the Node B is in commercial service. No extra hard-

ware or software shall be used in the Node B before completion of installation tests.

1.4.2 Procedure in the Event of Faults during Commissioning

If faults occur in online operation they should be localized and cleared in accordance

with the instructions in the Maintenance Manual (MMN:Node B).

First the most experienced person in the installation team should try to clear the fault. Ifthe installation technician is not able to eliminate serious faults, a fault report must befilled in, providing the following information in detail:

Description of the test step attempted

Description of the system response (LMT log file)

Description of any system activities taking place at the same time, e.g. work done

by other testers during modifications to hardware or software

Type of Node B

HW inventory

Decription of Node B SW release (detailed version string)

Version of LMT SW

Copy of the Node B XML database

The fault report must be sent to the Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

1.4.3 Dealing with Defective Modules

If a card/module proves to be defective, it should be sent to the repair center in an ap-propriate packing with the following information:

Name and code of the site

Name and code number of the module

Description of the fault

ITMN:NB-441


3.1 Visual Inspection

A visual inspection must be performed for all delivered parts to make sure that the shel-

ter is not damaged and the quantity and location of the cards/modules is correct.

Previous to this inspection the installation of the system as well as the shelter and sys-

tem cabling was carried out as described in the Installation Manual IMN:NB-441.

3.1.1 Delivery Correctness

In compliance with the commissioning concept all systems will be delivered to the site

according to customers purchase order. In association with the manufacturing policy

the configuration of the system is done strictly conform to the ordering requirements for

that particular site and finally tested before shipping.

Under these circumstances the verification of the address as per shipping documents

with the actual site address guarantees the completeness of the system in quality and

quantity.

3.1.2 Signs of Damage

Inspect the entire shelter for signs of damage like scratches or dents. If the system is

damaged it may be concluded that the equipment was handled unprofessionally during

transportation or installation. Significant damage indicates that the final factory test

guarantee is no longer valid.

In this case the complete shelter should be returned whereas small scratches can be

corrected on site by appropriate paint work.

3.1.3 Unbroken Seals

The final test at the factory is carried out in the right configuration according to the site

requirements. A record of these pre-commissioning tests and results is provided togeth-

er with the shipping documents. To avoid a time consuming check of the equipped parts

by comparing code and serial numbers on their labels against the test result table, all

parts are sealed by an adhesive sticker.

Unbroken seals at all components act as an indicator for an unchanged configuration.

Therefore the system can be considered to fulfill all specifications as reported in the pre-

commissioning protocol without any restrictions.

3.5 State of Components by LED Indication

After powering on the system according to the procedure Power on a certain time will

elapse before the system reachesthe status of normal operation.Furthermore clock andfrequency determining circuits need some more time to achieve the specified accuracy.

The following table shows the LED indication of each card/module for normal operation.

The reset condition of a Node B is signalled by the following LED indication:

3.6 Get State and Status via LMT

With the LMTconnected to the Node B get the state and status of all equipped

cards/modules. For detailed description how to connect the LMT and how to use differ-ent applications or enter commands please refer to OGL:Node B LMT.

The LMT provides different possibilities for checking the state and status of each Hard-

ware Managed Object (HMO). Using the Rack Viewwindow the whole system can be

controlled at a glance. Selecting one of the three frames ACT, A SHELFor B SHELFin

the BaseRackthe state and status of each HMO (card/module) is indicated by color filled

circles representing the appropriate LEDs for OST, AVSand AST (see Fig. 3.3).

3.7 Check of External Equipment Alarms

For the supervision of external equipment the Node B provides an interface for the con-

nection of sensors which can be either high or low active. Every used alarm sensor hasto be connected with a couple of wires to the alarm connection terminal (ACT) as de-

scribed in the installation manual (see ITMN:NB-441).

The alarm objects of all used inputs must be created and described in the active data-

base of the Node B. This is usually done during the production process according to the

purchase order and verified in the final factory test. However if there are changes

against the initial configuration or some other alarms have to be added the relevant ob-

jects must be changed in the database first. A detailed description of how to edit the XML

representation of the database can be found in The Node B XML Database Editing

Guide.

The LMT is connected to the Node B and the application is running in the tree view or

rack view window for monitoring the alarms.

If possible initiate the alarm to be tested by causing the relevant sensor to become

active

Alternatively a short-circuit or a break between the two alarm connection terminals

will cause an alarm depending on the alarmValue attribute:

alarmValue = 0: making a short-circuit will trigger the alarm

alarmValue = 1: making a break will trigger the alarm

Undoing the taken measure will initiate an alarm cleared message.

3.8 Start-up not Successful

If the start-up of the system does not terminate with the normal operation condition only

limited options are given to resolve the problem:

Reset of the relevant HMO

A reset can be performed by two means:

It can be performed by submitting the reset command for that HMOvia LMT. This

way is recommended: It works independently of the state of the card/module.

It can be performed by pressing the reset button as well. But there are states of the

card/module, which disable the button.

Replacement of the failed card/module

If a reset couldnt solve the problem with a HMO, the card/module has to be consid-

ered as defective and must be replaced.

For the replacement of a card/module refer to the appropriate procedure of the Main-

tenance Manual MMN:Node B

Reset of the Node B

As a final attempt the whole Node B can also be reset via LMT.

Call Technical Assistance Center (TAC)

In case of an unsuccessful replacement of the failed card/module the fault must be

assumed as more serious. For further investigation the help of the Technical Assis-

tance Center is inevitable.
