NOTE:

To power off the EOMUa/ESAUa board, raise the upper and lower ejector levers on the EOMUa/ESAUa
 board, and wait until the OFFLINE indicator is steady on. Then, pull out the board.

The SHUTDOWN button is used for powering off the board only in an emergency.

The RESET button is used to reset the system. It works in the same way as the reset button on a PC.

Pressing the SHUTDOWN or RESET button may cause physical damage to hard disks of the
EOMUa/ESAUa board. Avoid pressing these two buttons whenever possible.

Principles for Installing Boards

Table 1shows principles for installing boards

Table 1 principles for installing boards

Item Description Principles for Installing Boards

EOMUa Evolved Operation and Maintenance Two boards must be installed on the BSC6910. The
Unit REV:a. EOMUa board is twice as wide as other boards. One
EOMUa board occupies two slots. The board can be
installed in slots 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 25 and 27 in the
MPS. It is recommended that EOMUa boards be
installed in slots 10 and 12 of the MPS subrack.

ESAUa Evolved Service Aware Unit REV:a. The ESAUa board is twice as wide as other boards.
One ESAUa board occupies two slots. The number
of the boards to be installed depends on site
requirements and the number of available slots. For
details about how to calculate this number and the
maximum allowed number of boards, see the
document BSC6910 Configuration Principles.The
ESAUa board can be installed in any slots other than
those for the SCUb/SCUc and
GCUa/GCUb/GCGa/GCGb boards. A maximum of
two ESAUa boards can be configured. It is
recommended that the ESAUa be installed in slots 0,
1, 2, and 3 in the MPS.

Functions of the Board

Table 2 shows functions of the board.

 Table 2 Functions of the Board
Item EOMUa
Functions The EOMUa board connects the
LMT/U2000 and the other boards.
Performs the configuration
management, performance
management, fault management,
security management, and
loading management functions
for the system.
Enables LMT or U2000
users to perform operation and
maintenance on the BSC6910 to
control the communication
between the LMT or U2000 and
the host boards of the BSC6910.
Technical Specifications of the Board
Table 3shows technical specifications of the board.
ESAUa
An ESAUa board collects and preprocesses the
data reported by NEs. The ESAUa board then
uploads the preprocessed data to the U2000
and eCoordinator.
For the Nastar:
Filters and aggregates raw data
reported by NEs according to the rule for
Nastar thematic tasks.
Sends data preprocessing
results to the Nastar through the U2000
for the Nastar to perform thematic
service analysis.
For the eCoordinator:
Filters and aggregates raw data
reported by NEs according to data
subscription requests from the
eCoordinator.
Sends data preprocessing
results to the eCoordinator.

about three minutes.

NOTE:

The EOMUa/ESAUa board contains mechanical hard disks. The lifespan of mechanical hard disks is short, and so
the lifespan of the EOMUa/ESAUa board is about five years.

Adverse environments, such as high temperature or high altitude, shorten the board lifespan.

The EOMUa/ESAUa board must be protected against vibration, shock, and abnormal shutdowns to ensure the
lifespan.

The ESAUa board requires a amount of bandwidth for communication with the U2000.

Table 4 lists the bandwidth required by the ESAUa board.

Ports on board

There are four USB ports, three GE ports, and one VGA port on an EOMUa/ESAUa board. Table 5 describes the
ports on the EOMUa/ESAUa board.

USB0- The USB interface is used to install or
1 and switch the operating system, and
USB2- therefore local operations are
3 involved. When the OMU system is
properly running, run the SET
OMUPORT command to disable the
USB interface without affecting
device security.
Operators can use the USB ports only after US
logging in to the operating system (OS) running B
on the board. The ports does not require a
signal cable or connection to other devices
when the system runs properly. Therefore,
equipment security is not affected.
