configured with different boards. Specifically, an MPS is configured with the OMU and GCU,
whereas an EPS is not configured with the OMU or GCU.
Only one MPR is configured in the BSC6910.
The number of EPRs to be configured depends on the traffic volume, but only one EPR can be
configured in the BSC6910. You can also choose not to configure the EPR.

Power The maximum power consumption of a subrack is 4000 W.

consumption Currently, the cabinet power consumption is rated at 7100 W through
hardware and software configurations, preventing the high density of
power from affecting heat dissipation.
It is recommended that the power distribution system provide a
maximum of 4000 W power per subrack and 7100 W power per cabinet
to facilitate capacity expansion.
Heat consumption It is recommended that the air conditioning system dissipate a maximum
of 4000 W heat per subrack and 7100 W heat per cabinet to facilitate
capacity expansion.
Heat dissipation Fans, air deflectors, and an air defense frame are installed in a BSC
cabinet. Each subrack has separate air channels where air flows in from
the front and flows out from the rear, ensuring good heat dissipation.
NOTE
An empty cabinet is configured with front and rear doors, side panels, and a set of cables.
CAUTION
When the voltage of power supply is lower than the lower threshold for the input voltage,
multiple boards may become abnormal at the same time.
Therefore, check the power system if multiple boards become abnormal at the same time.

BSC6910 UMTS
3.4 Cabinet Cable

Cabinet cables consists of cabinet power cables, PGND cables, and cabinet signal cables.
3.4.1 Relationshipship Between the PDF and Subracks

This section describes the relationship between the power outputs on the Power Distribution
Frame (PDF) and the inputs of the subracks configured in a cabinet.
The power outputs on the PDF connect to the power inputs on each subrack of the BSC6910. In
each subrack, there are two power entry modules (PEMs). On each PEM, there are two power
inputs.
As shown in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4, PDF output area A consists of PDF outputs 1 and 2,
and PDF output area B consists of PDF outputs 3 and 4.PDF output areas A and B work in active/
standby mode.
The BSC6910 power supply principles are as follows:
l The PDF provides two power sources (one active and one standby) for the equipment and
one PGND connection for each cabinet.
l PEM 00 and PEM 01 work in active/standby mode and connect to the active and standby
power sources, respectively. PEM 00 and PEM 01 work concurrently in normal cases. If
either of them becomes faulty, the other PEM continues to supply power to the system to
ensure stable operation. Therefore, you can rectify one faulty power input when the power
is properly supplied, improving the reliability and availability of the power supply system.
l The two power outputs of PEM 00 work in load sharing mode. The subrack that houses
PEM 00 can work properly only when the two power outputs of PEM 00 are normal. The
working principle of PEM 01 is the same as that of PEM 00.
Figure 3-3 shows the relationship between power outputs and inputs when only one subrack is
configured in a cabinet.

BSC6910 UMTS
Figure 3-3 Relationshipship between power outputs and inputs when only one subrack is
configured
Figure 3-4 shows the relationship between power outputs and inputs when three subracks are
configured in a cabinet.

Figure 3-4 Relationshipship between power outputs and inputs when three subracks are
configured
3.4.2 Connections of Signal Cables on the SCUb Board

This section describes the connections of signal cables on the SCUb board.
Different subracks are interconnected through the SCUb board. Figure 3-5 shows the
connections of signal cables for the SCUb board. MPS 0, EPS 1, and EPS 2 are seated in the
MPR from bottom to top. EPS 3, EPS 4, and EPS 5 are seated in the EPR from bottom to top.
The subracks in the MPS and those in the EPS are connected in the following sequence: from
MPS 0 to EPS 1, to EPS 3, and then to EPS 5, and from MPS 0 to EPS 2, and then to EPS 4.

BSC6910 UMTS
Figure 3-5 Connections of signal cables on the SCUb board
When the cabling distance between two subracks in different cabinets is longer than 10 m (32.80
ft.), the SCUb boards in the two subracks need to be connected using a multimode optical fiber.
The SCUb boards inside the same cabinet are connected using SFP+ high-speed cables.

NOTE
l Each subrack provides a total of 28 slots. The 14 slots on the front side of the backplane are numbered
from 00 to 13, and those on the rear side from 14 to 27.
l Two adjacent slots, such as slots 00 and 01 or slots 02 and 03, can be configured as a pair of active/
standby slots. A pair of active/standby boards must be installed in a pair of active/standby slots.
l The pair of active/standby boards installed in the active/standby slots must be of the same type. For
example, if slots 14 is configured with GCUa board, slots 15 must be configured with GCUa board.
l Different types of boards can be installed in non-active/standby slots. For example, if the GCUa board
is installed in slot 15, the EXOUa board can be installed in slot 16.
Figure 5-5 shows the switching bandwidth of each slot when the subrack is configured with two
SCUb boards.
Figure 5-5 Switching bandwidth of each slot in a subrack configured with two SCUb boards

The DIP switch on a subrack is used to set the number of the subrack.
Appearance
Figure 5-6 shows a DIP switch cover.

BSC6910 UMTS
Figure 5-6 DIP switch cover
Description About the DIP Switch

The DIP switch on the subrack has eight bits numbered in ascending order from 1 to 8. Table
5-6 describes the bits.
Table 5-6 Description about the bits
Bit Description
1-5 Bits 1 to 5 are used to set the subrack number. Bit 1 is the least
significant bit. If a bit is set to ON, it indicates 0. If a bit is set to
OFF, it indicates 1.
6 Odd parity check bit
7 Reserved, undefined, generally set to ON
8 (the most significant Startup type of the subrack, must set to OFF
bit)
NOTICE
You must set the DIP switch before powering on the subrack. The setting after the power-on is
invalid.
DIP Switch Setting Principle

The DIP switch uses odd parity check, so the number of bits that are set to OFF must be odd.
The setting is as follows:

BSC6910 UMTS
1. Set bits 1 to 5 to appropriate values.

2. Set bit 7 to ON.
3. Set bit 8 to OFF.
4. Count the number of bits that are set to OFF.
l If the number is even, set bit 6 to OFF.
l If the number is odd, set bit 6 to ON.

l The INT2 board (interface board) can be the FG2c, GOUc, AOUc, UOIc board.
l If customers have also purchased the Huawei Nastar product, they need to install an SAU board in the MPS
or EPS of the BSC6910 cabinet (the SAU board occupies two slots that work in active/standby mode). For
details about how to install software on the SAU board and how to maintain the SAU board, see SAU User
Guide of Nastar documents.
l The preceding figures are for your reference only and cannot be used for site planning. Site planning should
be performed based on the actual conditions and on the instructions in BSC6910 Configuration Principles.

BSC6910 UMTS
Configuration of the EPS

The EPS is configured in the MPR or EPR.
The boards that can be installed in the EPS are the ESAUa, SCUb, EGPUa, EXOUa, FG2c, and
GOUc. Figure 6-2 shows the configuration of the EPS.
Figure 6-2 Configuration of the EPS
NOTE
l The INT1 board (interface board) can be the INT2, EXOUa board.
l The INT2 board (interface board) can be the FG2c, GOUc, AOUc, UOIc board.
l If customers have also purchased the Huawei Nastar product, they need to install an SAU board in the MPS
or EPS of the BSC6910 cabinet (the SAU board occupies two slots that work in active/standby mode). For
details about how to install software on the SAU board and how to maintain the SAU board, see SAU User
Guide of Nastar documents.
l The preceding figures are for your reference only and cannot be used for site planning. Site planning should
be performed based on the actual conditions and on the instructions in BSC6910 Configuration Principles.
Principles for Installing Boards

Boards must be installed according to the following principles:
l Switching Board
SCUb boards must be installed in slots 20 and 21.
l Clock Board
GCUa, GCUb, GCGa, GCGb boards must be installed in slots 14 and 15 in the MPS.
l OM Board
EOMUa boards 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.

BSC6910 UMTS
ESAUa boards can be installed in slots where the SCUb, GCUa, and GCGa boards are
not installed. It is recommended that ESAUa boards be installed in slots 6 and 7 of the
MPS subrack.
l Service Processing Board
The EXOUa board support large throughput. Therefore, EXOUa boards can be installed
only in slots 16 to 19 and 22 to 25.
The EGPUa boards of the RMP logical type are installed in slots 8 and 9 in the MPS.
EGPUa boards can be installed in slots other than those for the SCUb, GCUa/GCGa,
and EOMUa/ESAUa boards. EGPUa boards are preferentially installed in slots 0 to 13.
l Interface Board
Interface boards must be installed in the rear slots of a subrack to facilitate cable layout.
The FG2c, GOUc boards support large throughput. The boards are preferentially
installed in slots 16 to 19 and 22 to 25. If these slots are occupied, the boards can be
installed in slots 14 to 15 and 26 to 27.The IuPS interface boards that carry IP
transmission are preferentially installed in slots 16 to 19 and 22 to 25.
The AOUc, UOIc boards support small throughput. The boards are preferentially
installed in slots 14 to 15 and 26 to 27. If these slots are occupied, the boards can be
installed in slots 16 to 19 and 22 to 25.
6.2 AOUc Board

AOUc is short for 4-port ATM over channelized Optical STM-1/OC-3 interface Unit REV:c.
The board is optional. It can be installed in the MPS or EPS. The number of boards to be installed
depends on site requirements and the number of available slots. For details on the maximum
number of boards that can be installed and how to calculate this number, see BSC6910
Configuration Principles. This document will be delivered to customers during the marketing
phase. The boards are preferentially installed in slots 14 to 15 and 26 to 27. If these slots are
occupied, the boards can be installed in slots 16 to 19 and 22 to 25.
6.2.1 Functions of the AOUc Board

As an optical interface board, the AOUc board supports ATM over channelized STM-1/OC-3
transmission.
The AOUc board performs the following functions:
l Provides four channels over the channelized STM-1/OC-3 optical ports.

l Supports the IMA function.
l Supports the extraction of line clock signals.
l Supports the Iu, Iur, and Iub interface.
NOTE
The AOUc board has two CPUs: CPU0 and CPU1. CPU0 mainly performs the management plane
functions, such as board management, alarm reporting, performance counter reporting, as well as
transmission port management and maintenance. CPU1 mainly performs the control plane functions, such
as establishment and clearing of channels for data flows.
