- Do not touch the fan blades when the fan unit is running.
Hold the fan unit and align the slide rails on both sides of the fan unit with the slide rail grooves for the fan unit on the subrack respectively. Push the fan unit slowly into the subrack until you hear a click
Preparations for Cable Connection
Instruction
- Internal cables are connected inside a cabinet. Usually they have been connected before delivery. Installers should check the connection of internal cables on site. The items to check include whether the cable distribution is reasonable, whether the wires and cables are properly and neatly arranged, whether the plugs are connected firmly, whether incorrect or poor insertion exists, and whether any part is missing.
- Installers can choose the top access wiring mode or the floor access wiring mode according to the equipment room and the installation site conditions (This guide uses the top access wiring mode as an example).
- The AN6000-15 uses the PDP850A (3000064).
Note
- Before laying out wires and cables, you need to remove the front panel of the PDP. If space is limited for operations, remove the baffle at the bottom of the PDP as well.
- After you have completed layout of wires and cables, restore the front panel and baffle to their original places.
Preparing Wiring Holes on the Cabinet
Instruction
- For a cabinet equipped with mouseproof hop-pockets on the top, fasten the mouseproof hop-pockets after external wires and cables are led into the cabinet and well arranged.
- For a cabinet equipped with a cover plate on the top or bottom, determine the position, size and number of wiring holes according to the wiring plan. Pierce the cover plate with diagonal pliers at desired positions to make wiring holes. The following introduces how to make wiring holes on the top of the cabinet.
- Prepare the holes from near to far in sequence.
- Polish the raw edges of the holes so that they will not cut hands or cables.

Connecting External Power Cables
Warning
- Make sure the external power supply is shut off before connecting the power cables. Do not connect the cabinet power cables when the power supply is connected.
- Make sure the DC power input is cut off during cable connection, and attach labels to the switches to be used.
- Never expose the joining part of a power cable or a power connector unless necessary.
- If the bonding resistance between the equipment ground cable and the earth ground bar is higher than 0.1 ohm, the ground cable should be re-arranged.
Caution
- With the premise that cables must be arranged in compliance with the route, the power cables should be processed on site according to the “shortest” route principle.
- The power cables should be made of a continuous segment of copper core with no intermediate connections.
Instruction
The protection earth ground cable for a PDP has been connected with the PE
terminal before delivery of the PDP; you only need to connect the other end of
the cable to the earth ground point on the top of a cabinet on site
- Connect the cabinet earth ground cable to the earth ground bar in the equipment room.
- Lead the -48 V and 0 V power cables into the cabinet.
- Remove the front panel of the PDP
- Connect the cabinet power cables to the PDP and the external power supply respectively. The terminals on the PDP from left to right are -48V_A, 0V_A, 0V_B, PE and -48V_B respectively.
Processing External Power Cables
“Cut-Wrap-Crimp-Insulate”
- Measure a power cable and cut an appropriate length of it as needed with a wire clipper on site.
- Wrap the bare end of the cable with an insulating tape to prevent short circuit during cable layout.
- After leading the cable to the desired position, remove the insulating tape, strip the cable end with stripping pliers, install a copper terminal onto the cable end, and crimp it with hydraulic pliers.
- Insulate the terminal with an insulating tape or a heatshrinkable tube.
Connecting Subrack DC Power Cables
Caution
- Make sure that the power control switch for the corresponding subrack on the PDP is placed in the OFF position before laying the power cables.
- Completely insert the cord end terminals into the terminal blocks on the PDP. To ensure good connection, the metal part exposed should not exceed one sixth of the overall metal length. The length of the exposed insulation covering or metal part of terminals in the same row or batch should be equal whenever possible.
- Do not press the insulation covering of cord end terminals, which may cause poor electrical connection.
- Make sure the side with a larger area of a cord end terminal contacts the terminal block.
- After connecting power cables, attach a label indicating the cable information to both ends of each cable, 1 cm to 2 cm away from the connector on each end.
Instruction
The figures below illustrate how to connect the subrack power cables to the
subrack and the PDP850A (3000064).
Instruction
- You need to properly bend the power cables before connecting them to power input interfaces.
- Route the power cables along the wiring channel on the left side of the cabinet, and then horizontally lead them into the PDP from wiring holes on both sides of the PDP.
Connecting Network Cables
Instruction
Route the network cables behind the left vertical mounting flange, in the
space between the subrack side panel and the cabinet side panel. Lead them to
the bottom of the subrack, thread them through the wiring holes of the fiber
