yet, the antistatic wrist strap will not take effect.
„ There is normally a bag of desiccant in the static-shielding
bag, which is used to absorb the moisture of bag keeping it
dry from inside.
„ When the board is carried from a dry place with low
temperature to a moist place with high temperature, wait for
at least half an hour before unpacking and installation.
Otherwise, moisture will condense the board surface,
resulting in board damage.
„ While plugging/unplugging the board, keep it upright and use
appropriate force to avoid bending the contact pins.

Plugging Board
Purpose To plug a board correctly.
Prerequisite Before installing service/functional interface board, open or
remove the small door at subrack left side. Figure 40 shows the
small door.
Steps 1. Check the slot layout and available slots for the board
specified in the design document.
2. To plug a board, place the ejector lever at horizontal
position by pressing the spring plate of ejector lever.
3. Grasp the upper and lower ejector levers, and push in the
board exactly along the guide rail. The board must be kept
vertical throughout the process, and apply appropriate force.
4. When the board is about to get into position, clamp the
bayonet of ejector lever with front beam of the subrack.
5. Push the ejector lever up/down wards with both hands
exerting proper force unless the ejector lever stands upright
and produces the locking sound of "clatter".
6. Check the board connector should be fully inserted into the
motherboard socket. In this case, the board panel should be
in parallel position with outer frame of the board area in the
cabinet.

f Placing 2 Mbps cables in the subrack cabling area should
start from nearby the cabinet back door.
f Place cables first from slot L6 to slot L1. The cables of
these slots shall extend to the cabinet left side.
f The cables should not cross over each other.
„ Cabling requirements for 2 Mbps cables at the cabinet
side face:
f General principle: Start from nearby the cabinet back
door, then to nearby the cabinet front door. Cables
should not cross over each other.
f Placing board cables in subrack: Start from the cabinet
side nearby the back door. Then place cables nearby the
front door, from slot L6 to slot L1.
f Placing cables between cabinet and multiple subracks: If
top cabling is adopted, start from the top subrack, then

 ZXMP S325 (V2.00) Installation Manual

to the bottom subrack, in top-down order; If bottom

cabling is adopted, start from the bottom subrack, then
to the top subrack, in bottom-up order. No matter which
cabling method is adopted, when placing cables in the
cabling folder on the cabinet side-door plate, follow the
order from back to front. Thus, 2 Mbps cables of the top
subrack should be placed in the last cabling folder which
is on the cabinet side-door panel and near the back door.
f Placing cables at the cabinet side face in a cabinet with
one single subrack: Considering future capacity
expansion, start placing 2 Mbps cables from the last
cabling folder which is on the cabinet side-door panel and
near the back door.
„ Requirements for 2 Mbps cabling routing:
f After leading out the 2 Mbps cables from the board lead
them upward through the subrack cabling area and bind
them there.
f Then lay the cables in the cabling area at the cabinet side,
and clip them in the cable clipping folder.
f Lead the cables upward/downward out of the cabinet,
through the cabling rack/trough and lay them on the
customer DDF rack.
„ Requirements for 2 Mbps cabling on board:
f 2 Mbps cable bundle height on the board should be
appropriate without interfering with the decoration panel,
so prepare some room. The minimum curve radius of the
single 2 Mbps cable should be no less than 21 mm.
f Insert the SCI carrier socket into the socket which is on
the 2 Mbps interface board.
f Then plug 2 Mbps SCI cable connectors into SCI carrier
socket in the top-down order.
f If there is interference during insertion, do not use force.
Instead, adjust the insertion angle and try again, thus to
avoid hurting the SCI socket.

Caution:
During inserting the connector, do not bend the cable at the
head of the SCI connector, thus to avoid damaging the core.
To unplug the connected single-core cable: Unplug the cable
at the same time when taking up the carrier socket latch. Do
not use force to unplug cables.
„ When cabling 2 Mbps cables at the cabinet side, they should
be laid in the cabling folder. If the cables are too many to be
held in the cabling folder at the cabinet side, place them in
spare room between the cabling folder and subrack.
