Section 1
RACK INSTALLATION
-
a. Correct Rack installed as per design/TM
-
b. Rack installed in correct location as per design
-
c. The top of the rack should appear level and installed at the same height as any existing racks in the suite (may use baying kits for stability).
-
d. Rack must be aligned at the front with the rest of the suite.
-
e. Rack is correctly secured with insulated brackets.
-
f. No visible rack damage.
-
g. Rack rails are set in correct locations
-
h. Rack contains correct number of monitoring panels and fibre splice or storage trays
-
Several Photos may be required to demonstrate compliance. Suggest close ups for each characteristic. Looking to ensure Rack is installed level and straight. Must be at the same height as the adjacent racks and stabilised by Baying kits if required. Ensure appropriate anchorage to floor and that rack is utilising isolation kits.
Section 2
RACK EARTHING
-
d. Cabinet top & side panels correctly earthed
-
a. Earthbar fitted in correct location as per TM
-
b. Earth lead terminated to SPC distribution cables via IPC.
-
c. Correct size earth cables used for H3 or H5 racks
-
Several Photos may be required to demonstrate compliance. Suggest close ups for each characteristic. Ensure evidence of correct earthing practices for rack. Looking for a single point of connection between the SPC and the Earth bar installed at the rear of the rack. Equipment earths terminating onto the Earth bar should also be shown.
Section 3
FIBRE DROP OFF
-
a. Yellow fibre ducting correctly assembled and supported
-
b. Correct sized ducting used as per design/TM
-
c. Ensure Ducting path delivered into rack
-
Several Photos may be required to demonstrate compliance. Suggest close ups for each characteristic. Looking to see that fibre is able to be delivered via ducting into the rack and that there is no unprotected/unsupported areas outside of the rack.
Section 4
FIBRE
-
a. Ducting drop off not overfilled or congested
-
b. Fibre not run over or pressed against sharp edge
-
c.Fibre secured to rack internal ladder tray by Velcro ties.
-
d. Fibres routed correctly, MBR 30mm not compromised
-
e. Excess fibre stored neatly in fibre storage trays
-
f. Fibre supported and secure
-
Several Photos may be required to demonstrate compliance. Suggest close ups for each characteristic. Looking to see that the fibre with in the rack is neat, secure and there is no excess fibre hanging within the rack. Also ensuring that adequate capacity exists within the drop off duct.
Section 5
OPTICAL EQUIPMENT FRAMES IN RACK (OEF)
-
a. The first in optical fibre subrack is a splice/patch subrack (e.g. 494/00555).
-
b. Additional subracks are splice subracks e.g. 494/00556
-
c. Perspex cover is on the highest subrack
-
d. Fibre cable correctly routed , butted and anchored
-
e. Loose tubes correctly routed
-
f. Pigtails correctly routed and managed with Velcro ties
-
g. Labelling is correct for S/R, cable, fibres and pigtails
-
Several Photos may be required to demonstrate compliance. Photos should show OEF subracks, optic cabling and pigtail placement and labelling. Suggest close ups for each characteristic.
Section 6
SWITCH/ROUTER INSTALLATION
-
a. Switch /router is supported correctly (with tray if required) and all brackets are secured to the rails.
-
b. Switch/router is installed in correct location as per the Design.
-
c. No part of the subrack or associated cabling protrudes beyond the boundaries of the rack
-
d. All cards and SFP’s are provisioned as per design
-
Several Photos may be required to demonstrate compliance. Suggest close ups for each characteristic. Ensuring that subracks are adequately supported and correctly located within the rack. Ensuring no future cabling will protrude outside the rack. Close up photos should be used to show card and SFP utilisation.
Section 7
Fibre Optic Subracks
-
a. Correct colour Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables are run as per TM.
-
b. Cables are not run over or pressed against sharp edges
-
c. Cabling is secured to rack internal ladder tray by appropriate methods<br>- Cat6 cabling with Velcro tabs<br>- Other cabling with Velcro tabs or cable ties<br>
-
d. Cable ties do not appear to crush cable and are cut flush.
-
e. Cabling route does not impede card replacement.
-
f. Cabling does not restrict airflow around Subrack.
-
Several Photos may be required to demonstrate compliance. Suggest close ups for each characteristic. Looking to see that cabling is neat and secure. Ensuring the cabling route does not impede replacing any cards and that fans and air vents on the side of the equipment are not blocked by cabling.
Section 8
POWER
-
a. All power connections are terminated correctly – Use of Bootlace ferrules may be required.
-
b. Power covers are replaced.
-
c. Power cabling doesn’t impede the replacement of power units with in the subrack.
-
d. Power cabling doesn’t impede the airflow of the subrack.
-
e. Power cable is neat and secure and doesn’t cross any sharp edges.
-
f. Earth is connected to subrack with correct lug
-
g. Correct CB size used
-
h. Powered from correct No. of LODs
-
i. Correct colour power cables used
-
j. Power cables correctly routed & managed within rack
-
Several Photos may be required to demonstrate compliance. Suggest close ups for each characteristic. Looking for cabling route within rack and correct CB utilisation. Also checking quality of terminations and ensuring the use of bootlace ferrules where required.
Section 9
LABELLING
-
a. Ensure all labelling is applied and show an example of each:-<br>• Rack<br>• Subracks<br>• Power cables<br>• Data Cabling<br>• Fibre
-
b. Labelling should be printed
-
c. Labelling should be correctly formatted.
-
d. Labelling should be secured in label pockets or using Brady labels (wrapped not flagged) or machine labels where allowed.
-
Several Photos may be required to demonstrate compliance. Suggest close ups for each characteristic. Ensure that all cables and subrack are labelled. Close ups should be used so printing can be read on labels.
