1 Equipment Maintenance 1.1Maintenance description The objective of daily maintenance is to ensure an optimized working condition of the product, so that the whole network runs properly. The classification of the daily maintenance of the ZXG10-BTS (V1A), together with the maintenance requirements and recommendations will be described below. 1. Maintenance classification Daily maintenance of ZXG10-BTS (V1A) can be classified into routine maintenance and emergent maintenance. The routine maintenance refers to periodical maintenance, which is divided into daily routine maintenance and regular routine maintenance by their maintenance periods. Emergent maintenance refers to the maintenance tasks to be immediately executed as required by sudden failures of the ZXG10-BTS (V1A) equipment and network adjustment, e.g., equipment failure, user-reported fault, and the emergent problems found out in routine maintenance. Emergent failures are characterized by abrupt occurrence and serious influences on the QoS, so the maintenance personnel in the equipment room are required to handle them decisively, cautiously and in-time. A detailed record must be made afterward so as to eliminate potential faults. 2. Maintenance requirements and recommendations The daily maintenance of ZXG10-BTS (V1A) equipment is a major task for the maintenance personnel in the equipment room. Excellent daily maintenance is a key factor to ensure long-term stable running of the equipment. Therefore, a set of equipment room maintenance regulations should be formulated to regulate and guide the work of the maintenance personnel. The followings are some basic requirements and recommendations for daily maintenance: 1) The maintenance personnel should implement the daily and regular routine check strictly and keep a detailed record without any omission. 2) The maintenance personnel must keep the equipment room safe and tidy, with proper temperature and humidity. 3) The maintenance personnel should follow the equipment operation specifications strictly,

avoid any operations on the equipment beyond the daily maintenance specifications, e.g., arbitrarily plugging/unplugging, resetting, starting and switching over the equipment, or changing the data; and should wear an anti-static wrist strap when accessing the hardware system, and store the damaged parts and the spare parts in anti-static bags, which should be labeled of the category and stored properly. 4) The person in charge of the equipment room should keep the user accounts, passwords and the user authorities for login to the local operation & maintenance console and to the network management system, and distribute them to relevant persons according to their specific authorities, so as to define the responsibility and authority clearly. 5) The maintenance personnel should handle detected problems and faults in time, report major problems to relevant supervisors in time and contact the local office of ZTE to get an early solution, which should be recorded in detail afterward. 6) Before on-duty, the maintenance personnel must undergo necessary training. Different maintenance positions should be assumed by persons of the corresponding technical levels. 7) The frequently used tools and instruments should be checked, repaired and calibrated before use to ensure their proper conditions. Generally, the following tools and instruments are recommended to be prepared in the equipment room. A. Tools and auxiliary materials: screwdriver (flat-head and Phillips), diagonal pliers, cable stripper, unpacking pliers, electric iron, chip-extractor, programmer, eraser, tweezers, spanner, electrical drill, tape, anti-static wrist strap, insulating tape and cable tie. B. Instruments: Multimeter, thermometer, humidity meter, optical power meter and earth resistance tester. 8) The power supply of the system should be kept stable and reliable, and the grounding of the system should be checked regularly.

1.2Routine maintenance 1.2.1Daily routine maintenance Daily routine maintenance includes the following items: 1. Equipment room environment 1) Temperature requirements:

-2-

Chapter 1 Equipment MaintenanceAlarm Handling

Ambient temperature requirements: -5˚C ~ +45˚C; recommended to be always kept between 15˚C ~ 30˚C. A thermometer should be available in the equipment room, and the maintenance personnel should check it daily and make a record in detail; an air conditioner is recommended to be installed in the equipment room to meet the temperature requirements for long-term stable running of the equipment. 2) Humidity requirement Relative humidity requirement: 15%~85%; recommended to be kept at 40%~65%. A humidity meter should be available in the equipment room, and the maintenance personnel should check it daily and keep a record in detail. A humidity conditioning device is recommended to be installed in the areas where the humidity is seriously improper, especially, a damp-proof device is recommended in areas of high humidity and anti-static floor is recommended in areas of low humidity. 3) Working status of the air conditioner Check whether the air conditioner (or other humidity conditioning devices) can work normally according to the preset temperature (humidity) requirements, and handle the faults in time if any. 4) Dust-proof During the daily maintenance, the equipment should be kept free from dust or contamination. It is recommended to apply dust-proof sealing rubber strips around the windows and doors of the equipment room, adopt double-layered-glass sealed windows and wear union suits and special shoes in the equipment room to diminish dust. In addition, strong magnetic, electrical or corrosive materials should not be present inside or around the equipment room so as to prevent from harmful particles. 2. Equipment running status 1) Querying the alarm information Check the site alarms and rack alarms in the alarm query window of the operation & maintenance center (OMCR) of the BSS or the LMT of the BTS, keep a detailed record of the alarm information, and contact the technical personnel in time to locate and eliminate faults. A. In the OMCR of the BSS, the current alarms are displayed in real time, and the rack diagram and the alarm statuses of boards are displayed dynamically in the main interface

of alarms. The recovered history alarms, current alarms and ordinary notifications can be queried as needed. For the procedure of querying alarms, please see ZXG10-BSS (V1A) Operation Manual; for the alarm causes and handling process, please see ZXG10-BSS (V1A) Maintenance Manual. B. Whether the Abis link is connected through or not, the LMT system of the BTS permits the maintenance personnel to query the alarm status of boards in the site, including alarm mode, alarm location, alarm content, fan running condition and rack temperature. Multiple alarms may exist on the same board at a time, and the board color on the alarm viewing interface represents the top alarm level existing on this board. Click the board, and all alarm information on this board will be displayed. For the procedure of querying alarms, please see ZXG10-BTS (V1A) Operation Manual; for alarm causes and handling process, please see Chapter 2 of this Manual. 2) Running status of boards Check whether the indication of the indicators for each board in the rack is normal. If any alarm indicator is on, contact the technical personnel in time to locate and eliminate the fault. The running information of the ZXG10-BTS (V1A) mainly comes from the indicators on the panels of modules such as OMU and TRU. By the different flashing meanings of the indicators, you can determine the running status of the equipment basically. For the meanings, causes and handling of various indicator statuses, please see Section 3.1 of this Manual.

1.2.2Regular routine maintenance Regular routine maintenance includes the following items: 1. Checking the BTS modules Check the amount, model and version of spare modules once a week, and make sure that the spare modules are stored in compliance with the requirements, with adequate amount and the convenience to find. Check the back-to-fix conditions of faulty modules once a week. 2. Hardware checking: once a month. 1) Cleaning the rack Clean the surface of the cabinet, clean and dry the air filter at the bottom of the cabinet; check whether the cabinet is rusted, and whether there is any unrelated article in the cabinet. Report any difficult problems in time if any, so as to get an early repair. -4-

Chapter 1 Equipment MaintenanceAlarm Handling

2) Checking the connection of power cables Check whether the power cables are connected tightly, and whether there is rust. 3) Checking the connection of grounding cables Check whether the grounding cables are connected tightly, and whether there is rust. 4) Checking the power modules Check whether the power supply of each shelf can work independently. Contact the technical personnel in time for any problem so as to fix the problem. 3. Transmission Check the connector tightness of the transmission cables from the optical terminal/microwave rack to the BTS rack once every quarter, and keep the transmission cables free from twisting, pressing, deforming and over-tightness; and test the spare ports. 4. Antenna and feeder system Adjust and calibrate the direction and pitch angle of the antenna once half a year; tighten the antenna, outdoor jumper, feeder cable and indoor jumper; apply rust-proof treatment to the antenna pole, feeder cable rack and grounding bar which are subject to getting rusty; test the VSWR of the antenna and feeder system, the transmitting power of the PA; and perform a general test on all frequencies of all cells of each BS.

1.3Emergent maintenance Emergent maintenance refers to the maintenance task which needs to be handled immediately in response to the emergent fault of ZXG10-BTS (V1A) equipment. Emergent faults are characterized by abrupt occurrence and serious influence on the QoS, so the maintenance personnel of the equipment room are required to handle them decisively, cautiously and in-time. A detailed record should be made afterward so as to eliminate potential faults. Generally, the emergent handling process and measures for emergent faults can be summarized based on the following two types of faults: 1. Emergent faults and disasters in the environment of the equipment room 1) Major faults: Fault of the power supply system; floods, fires; faults of the air conditioner system which cause the temperature and humidity severely beyond the specifications. -5-

Maintenance Manual for ZXG10-BTS (V1A)

2) Maintenance measures: When any alarm information is observed from the OMCR of the BSS or the LMT system of the BTS, perform an immediate inspection on the environment of the equipment room, locate the fault cause, and eliminate the fault quickly. Afterward, report to the superior leaders and keep a detailed record to eliminate potential faults. 2. Emergent fault of the equipment 1) Major faults: including hardware faults, e.g., damage of boards and modules, not-in-position, poor contact, and software faults, e.g., disorder of data and program, and improper upgrading. 2) Maintenance measures: A. Through plugging/unplugging, some faults such as not-in-position and poor contact of the hardware system can be solved; through the replacing or isolation method, the faults such as hardware damage can be located; the data disorder can be queried and corrected through operations in the OMCR of the BSS or the LMT system of the BTS. B. Faults of the software and hardware are numerous and complicated. If the above simple methods fail to solve the problem, please contact the technical personnel or the regional office of ZTE Corporation, report to the relevant leaders, and keep a detailed record afterward so as to eliminate potential faults.

1.4Typical maintenance methods In daily maintenance, several typical maintenance methods can be used as follows: 1. Observation method Locating the fault by viewing the alarm information of the LMT of the BTS. The observation method is the first method the maintenance personnel should use in case of fault occurrence. Making a correct judgement on the observation result is a key step for correct analysis and handling of the fault. Therefore, the maintenance personnel must be very familiar with the indicator statuses of the boards, and fully aware of the meanings of the alarm information of different levels on the LMT of the BTS. 2. Plugging/unplugging method When a circuit board is initially found faulty, plug/unplug the circuit board and the external interface connector to eliminate such faults as poor contact or processor abnormality. Make sure that the board must be hot-swappable when this method is applied.

-6-

Chapter 1 Equipment MaintenanceAlarm Handling

3. Replacing method The replacing method is to check the fault by replacing the circuit board in question with a normal circuit board. When the plugging/unplugging method fails, the replacing method can be applied. When plugging/unplugging and replacing the board, please see the precautions and operation procedure for replacing the boards and parts as listed in Appendix A. 4. Isolation method When a part of the system is faulty, the involved circuit board or racks can be isolated to check whether the fault comes from mutual impact. For example, a typical application of the isolation method is to self-loop the I/O interface of a circuit board so as to isolate and solve the problem of the related system. 5. Self-test method When the system or circuit board is powered on again judge if there is any fault by way of self-test. Usually, when a circuit board is re-powered on for self-test, the indicators on its panel will flash regularly, so that we can check whether the circuit board itself is faulty. 6. Pressing method Such faults as poor contact can be removed by pressing the chips and cable connectors. 7. Comprehensive method Any fault can be cleared by combining the above methods and taking advantage of one’s maintenance experience.

2 Alarm Handling 2.1Alarm information and classification The alarm management of the LTM system is an important part of BTS local operation and maintenance. The LMT system, after it is put into operation, can perform centralized monitoring on the overall running condition of the BTS for the purpose of real-time maintenance and recovery. Whether the Abis link is connected through or not, the LMT system permits the maintenance personnel to query the alarm status of boards in the site, and view the site alarms and rack alarm information on the LMT alarm viewing interface. Boards that may send alarms include: 1. Boards in the public shelf: operation and maintenance unit (OMU), BS interface equipment (BIE), clock unit (CKU), external alarm collection module (EAM), signaling distribution unit (SDU) and power supply (PSA). 2. Boards in the carrier shelf: frame unit (FU), carrier unit (CU), power supply (PSB), power amplifier (PA), combiner HYCOM and multi-coupler MUL. 3. Others: fan, temperature. In terms of real-time handling, the alarms include ordinary notifications and alarms. Ordinary notifications only indicate unrepeatable or transient faults during the system running. Usually, if a notification is not frequently repeated, it may be caused accidentally by the environment, which needs no handling; if a notification is frequently repeated, or even the alarm occurs for a long time, it must be checked and solved in time. An alarm usually lasts for a certain time. According to the severity in the system, alarms are divided into four levels. Following is the division of the four alarm levels, as shown in Table 2-1.

Note: In the definition of the alarm levels, the affected scope only refers to one single index. That is, if the affected scope of one single index, e.g., reliability, security reaches the specified scope, the level of the alarm can be determined basically. If one alarm item has affected several indexes, the alarm level should be raised. The alarm information summary table of the LMT is shown in Table 2-2. For the detailed information of the alarm, e.g., alarm cause, time limit of handling, handling process, please see relevant contents of Section 2.2~2.5.

Appendix A Replacement of Boards and Parts A.1 Overview In the course of daily maintenance, replacing the faulty board is a frequently used and critical maintenance method. It is suggested that, when replacing a board, the maintenance personnel of the equipment room must contact relative technical personnel or the personnel in the regional office of ZTE Corporation for technical support and instruction. In the course of replacing the board, attentions should be given to the following principles. 1. The spare parts should be kept in anti-static packing bags (in which small bags of moisture absorbents are recommended), which are stored in cartons properly according to different types. The anti-static bags or cartons should be labeled of the types for easy identification. 2. Before replacing, carefully check whether there is any damage to the spare parts or whether there is any component missing, and make sure the spare board type is completely identical with the type of the faulty board to be replaced 3. Put on anti-static wrist straps when plugging/unplugging boards. When holding a board with your hands, never touch the circuit, components and devices or wiring slots on the board. Never use excessive force in plugging/unplugging, for fear of damaging the pins or slots on the boards or the backplane. 4. The replaced faulty board should be put into anti-static bags, and stored properly according to different types. 5. After unplugging the faulty board, install a standard filler panel in the vacant slot to prevent dust and for decoration, if no spare parts are available then. 6. When replacing an active board, switch over the active/standby boards first to turn the standby board into the active status. 7. When replacing PA or HYCOM, please make sure to pull out the input cable of the module before pulling out its output cable. On the contrary, connect the output cable first before connecting the input cable, so as to avoid no output connection when there input into PA or HYCOM. -123-

Maintenance Manual for ZXG10-BTS (V1A)

8. Make sure to insert the module in position, and tighten the panel screws of the module. 9. For replacing the power board and MP, plugging/unplugging with power-on is strictly prohibited.

A.2 Replacement of the public shelf board Replace the public shelf board in the following steps: 1. Preparations for the replacement 1) Determine that the board is faulty and needs a replacement through fault observation and analysis. 2) Make sure that the spare part functions perfectly and with the identical type of the faulty board. 3) Prepare some anti-static bags, small bags of moisture absorbents, cartons for different types as well as some labels for making marks. 2. Replacement steps: 1) Put on the anti-static wrist strap. 2) When replacing an active board, switch over the active/standby boards first to turn the standby board into the active status. 3) Loosen the retaining screws on the panel, then pull the spanner on the faulty board outwards and downwards with a proper force of one hand. When the board is separated from the slot and bounces out of it, pull the board out gently with the other hand holding the bottom of the board. In the course, try your best to avoid touching the components and circuits on the board with your hands. 4) Put the replaced faulty board into an anti-static bag containing small bags of moisture absorbents, paste on the bag the label of the board model, the program version and such word as “faulty”. Store the faulty boards properly in the cartons according to different types. The cartons should also be pasted with corresponding labels on the exterior for later identification and handling. 5) Insert the spare board into the specified slot of the plug-in frame in accordance with its name. Press the spanner on the board with the thumb and push in the board with proper force until the spanner is locked, indicating that the board is placed in position. Then tighten the

-124-

Appendix A Replacement of Boards and Parts

screws on the panel. 6) If an active board is replaced, switch over the active/standby boards once again after the replacement so as to turn the new board into the active status. 3. Confirm after the replacement When the board is just plugged in, it will take some time for self-test. If the self-test is successful, the indicator will display normally and the service is resumed, indicating successful replacement. Refer to Chapter 3 in this manual for the judgement method of the indicator status display. If the self-test fails, i.e., the self-test is repeated endlessly or the final display is abnormal, and the service of the relative unit is not resumed, it indicates unsuccessful replacement. Then please check and determine once again whether the spare part is damaged, or the cause of the fault does not lie in this board, then locate the fault through observing the alarms in LMT.

A.3 Replacement of the carrier shelf board Replace the carrier shelf board in the following steps: 1. Preparations for the replacement 1) Make sure that the board is faulty and needs replacing through fault observation and analysis. 2) Make sure that the spare part functions perfectly with the identical type of the faulty board. 3) Prepare anti-static bags, small bags of moisture absorbents, cartons for different types as well as some labels for making marks. 2. Replacement steps: 1) Put on the anti-static wrist strap. 2) Switch off the PSB power supply of this layer. 3) Loosen the retaining screws on the panel, then pull the spanner on the faulty board outwards and downwards with a proper force of one hand. When the board is separated from the slot and bounces out of it, pull the board out gently with the other hand holding the bottom of the board. In the course, try your best to avoid touching the components and circuits on the board with your hands. 4) Put the replaced faulty board into an anti-static bag containing small bags of moisture absorbents, paste on it a label of the board model, the program version and such word as -125-
