4. Install protective grounding cable
IMPORTANT:
1. If the cabinet is designed with dedicated grounding point, first connect it with
the grounding point of the chassis, and then it with grounding bar of the
equipment room. If not, connect the point of the chassis directly to the
grounding bar of the equipment room.
2. For a cabinet standing in the middle of a row of cabinets, it will be difficult to
install protective grounding cable (for there are other cabinets around it) if the
chassis has been already installed. In this case, therefore, first lay the
grounding cables in the cabinet, and then bundle up them along the cabling
position and finally put the chassis on the cabinet.
3. Adopt upward or downward wiring to install the protective grounding cables
(same to the power cables). Here we introduce upward mode.

A. Stick two ends of the grounding cable with rectangle labels as temporary marker.

B. Lead the grounding cables along wiring ladder and binding position in the cabinet into the
vicinity of the grounding point of the device.
&

Remark:

In case the grounding cable of the chassis directly connects with grounding bar of the customer, the grounding cable and
power cable can be laid together along the cable rack of the equipment room & cabling path in the cabinet.
Cables should be bundled up once every 100 mm inside the cabinet.

6. Install board and sub-card
IMPORTANT:
1. ZXCTN 9008/9004 systems provide five types of board, main control board,
switch board, service processing board, motherboard and interface sub-card.
2. In ZXCTN 9008, boards are vertically inserted while in 9004 horizontally
inserted.
3. Conductive fabric between boards is interference fit. Once a board is inserted,
tighten up the captive screw before inserting the other board, otherwise it may
be difficult to insert the second board.

Interface Numbering of ZXCTN 9008/9004 is jointly defined by rack No./slot No./interface

board No/Port No.
&

Remark:

Pay attention to the following interface numbering rules to avoid incorrect cabling:
Rack No: ZXCTN9008/9004 does not support trunking and the rack No. is constantly 0.
PFU slot No.: for ZXCTN 9008, slot No. is 1~12, while for ZXCTN9004, slot No. is 1~5. For details, see the distribution
map below.
Interface sub-card No. on PFU: in range of 0~1, in ascending order from top to bottom.

7. Install optical fiber
IMPORTANT:
1. Adopt upward or downward wiring to install optical fiber. Here we introduce
upward mode.
2. If the cable rack is not configured with dedicated cable trough for signal cable,
the fiber must first pass through corrugated pipe / bellows before being laid on
the cable rack.

A. Stick two ends of the fiber with rectangle labels as temporary marker.

B. Unfold the fiber pigtails in a clear area in the equipment room, and bundle them up at
both ends.

Note:
1 The number of fibers laid at a time shouldnt be large, preferably not more than 50.
2 Bundle them up at two ends to avoid disorder when laying them along the cable rack.

ZXCTN 9008/9004 Quick Installation

Guide

C. Lay fiber pigtails along the cable rack.

Note:
1 If the equipment room is equipped with dedicated cable trough for signal cable, the fibers may not pass through the
corrugated pipe / bellows. However, between this cable trough and equipment side cable rack, the hose must be adopted
to protect the fibers.
2 When laying fibers along the cable rack, make sure the distance between fiber and power cable must be larger than 30
mm (Note: Black cables beside fibers in the left Figure are signal cable but not power cable.) Fibers should have a
bending radius larger than 400 mm at the turning point.

D. Remove the protective cap from the fiber heads, and plug the fibers into corresponding
ports.

&

Remark:

ZXCTN 9008/9004 Quick Installation

Guide
To avoid damaging the fiber connector, the protective cap cannot be removed from the connector unless the fiber is about to
be plugged into port. Maintain the protective cap for optical module that is not going to be plugged with optical fiber.

E. Tidy the fibers from at the port side and bundle them up along the cable rack of the
chassis.

Note:
1 Do not bundle the fibers up too tightly. Make sure the fibers can be twitched freely.
2 The fiber of a board must be laid vertically along the board to reach the cable rack, which facilitates subsequent
maintenance.
3 The fibers from different boards should be put into the hose after they converge. Adopt wire fasteners to fasten the hose
to the cable rack of the rack.

F. Lay the fibers along cabling path in the cabinet

Note:
1 The hose must stretch out to reach the cable trough for signal cable.

ZXCTN 9008/9004 Quick Installation
