The two types of hardware cannot be used together within a subrack or between different
subracks in a cabinet.
The detailed difference is described in the related chapter.
According to service requirements, subracks are classified into the basic subrack and
extension subrack.
The basic subrack is mandatory and configured in the integrated configuration cabinet.
The basic subrack provides complete service processing functions and external interfaces.
The extension subrack indicates the service processing subrack selected based on user
capacity requirements. The service processing subrack cooperates with the basic subrack to
process services.
You can set the subrack number using the DIP switches on the SDM. The SMM obtains the
subrack number by reading the DIP switch information on the SDM. The subrack
numbering rules are as follows:
Each subrack is allocated a subrack number. The basic subrack is numbered 0.
The subracks inside the cabinet are numbered based on the installation position from
bottom to top.
The subracks between cabinets are numbered based on the cabinet number in ascending
order.
Interface board slot: Boards are inserted to the rear boards (IO boards) from the rear.
When the interface board is a passive board, a front board is required before the interface
board is powered on. Boards are inserted to the rear boards and then the front boards.
Then, you can power on the boards.
The internal ports and buses communicate with each other over the backplane.
Quantity and position: A subrack provides a backplane that is located between the front
board and rear board in a subrack.
Function: The backplane implements the communication between interfaces of boards.
The T8280 fan assembly uses the integrated and dual-layer design. That is, two fan
assemblies are configured in each subrack to avoid heat dissipation problems due to single
point of failure. The fans support N+1 redundancy mode. When a fan fails, the system
performance is not affected.
When a fan fails, the system heat dissipation is not affected. An alarm indicating a fan
failure is reported. To avoid the overheat problem, you must complete fan replacement
within three minutes.
When the temperature is too high, the SMM forcibly powers off certain server boards.
As shown in the figure, the subrack provides 14 service slots in total. Slots 6-7 host the
SWUs and other slots host the UPBs.
Dimensions of the front board: 355.6 mm x 280 mm x 30.5 mm
Dimensions of the rear board: 355.6 mm x 70 mm x 30.5 mm
Two USN9810 boards installed in inconsecutive slots work in an active/standby
mode. Enhanced packet forward unit (EPU/EPUB) boards use the update buses.
According to the ATCA platform, the update bus requires board installation in
consecutive slots. The Enhanced Control Plane Units (ECUs) and OMUs do not use
the update bus. To ensure consistency, the ECUs and OMUs are inserted in
consecutive slots.
Active/standby boards installed in inconsecutive slots can avoid power failure of a board
when the adjacent board is incorrectly inserted to or plugged out from a slot.
According to the power distribution block capability, each PEM can provide power for the
entire subrack.
Note that the maximum power mentioned here indicates the maximum power supported
by the subrack rather than the maximum power of the subrack in full configuration.
Each power input module provides two binding posts that can connect two power inputs.
Specifications: The input voltage of the power distribution box is –48 V DC or –60 V DC
power. Each power input supports the maximum 100 A current. With the processing of
internal lightning protection and overcurrent protection, the power distribution box
generates two 10-channel –48 V DC power. The maximum current of single channel
power is 50 A.
Currently, the USN9810 supports dual-channel, dual 2-channel, and dual 3-channel power
distribution boxes. The appearance of these power distribution boxes is the same. The
difference is as below: The extra input terminals on the rear panels of the dual-channel and
dual 2-channel are sealed up using filler panels.
Note: Fans in the subrack are not separately described, but described together with the
subrack.
The T8290 subrack interworks with the ESU. The overall hardware structure of T8290 is
similar to that of the T8280.
The mapping between output of each line and the subrack is related to the power supply
solution. For details, see the related chapters of the product description documents.
The figure on the left side shows the connection between the power distribution box and
the subracks under the default setting. You are advised to confirm the connections before
powering on or off a subrack.
By default, different PEMs in the same subrack are connected to different PDB output
areas. That is, different terminals in the same PDB output area are connected to different
subracks. The three lines of current input in the subrack come from the line 4, line 7, and
line 10 of the PDB as shown in the figure on the left.
Advantage: PEMs of the same type in different subracks share the same 100 A input, and
the current can be coordinated among the subracks, which reduces the impact of power
consumption fluctuation in a single subrack.
The default cable connection of the PDB may be modified based on the different power
distribution requirements of the specific project. For details, see the follow-up description
of each power supply solution.
The designed maximum power consumption of the T8290 subrack is 6000 W. The
USN9810 T8290 or ESU architecture consumes a maximum power of only 3500 W.
The USN9810 boards are classified into the following types based on the logical functions.
1. The UPB is classified into the following types:
OMU: The OMU implements system configuration, maintenance, alarm management, and
performance management functions.

provides 2 horizontal-insertion slots numbered 14 and 15 at the bottom of the subrack.
The SMM, SDM, SWU, and SWI are mandatory for each subrack. Each subrack is
configured with two SMMs, SDMs, SWUs, and SWIs to achieve the active/standby work
mode.
The SMM and SDM are permanently installed in the horizontal-insertion slots on the
bottom of the subrack. The SMM works as a front board and SDM works as a rear board.
The boards installed in the vertical-insertion slots must be inserted in consecutive slots.
Slots 0 and 2, slots 1 and 3, slots 4 and 8, slots 5 and 9, slots 10 and 12, and slots 11 and
13 are mutually consecutive slots.
The SWU and SWI are permanently installed in slots 6 and 7 of each subrack.
The OMUs are permanently installed in slots 0 and 2 of the basic slot.
Other UPBs and USIs are installed in the basic subrack and extension subrack according to
the delivery requirements.
The device management module consists of SMMs and SDMs. The SMM is located at the
front bottom of the subrack and the SDM is located at the rear bottom of the subrack.
They both are under the fan box.
The device management module manages all the devices in the subrack (including the
external power distribution boxes of the subrack) in a unified manner.
The SDM records the asset information of the subrack (subrack name, BOM code,
manufacturer, and delivery date) and slot address information.
The SMM obtains data from the SDM to manage all the hardware devices in the
system.
The SDM is located at the rear bottom of the subrack and works as the rear board
of the SMM. The SDMs work in active/standby mode.
Port:
The SDM provides a network port and an RS232 serial port (COM1) on the front
panel for O&M. The SDM provides an RS485 serial port (COM2) that is connected
to the power distribution box of the subrack to maintain and manage the power
distribution box.
The SDM ejector levers are used to plug or fix SDMs. The ejector levers cannot be used to
power on or power off the SDMs. One of the active and standby SMMs can be used to
provide power for the SDMs.
The physical boards of the OMU are classified into UPBA2 and UPBA6.

(the SWUA0 is used in the service subrack and the SWUA1 is used in the basic subrack).
The physical specifications of the SWUA0 and SWUA1 are the same. The only difference is
that the SWUA1 requires a TDM subboard.

The OSTA2.0 hardware platform is logically divided into three buses and four subsystems.
The SWU uses extra Base and Fabric buses in dual star structure. The buses are interconnected over the
backplane and transmit data in a point-to-point mode.
The primary IPMB, Base, and Fabric buses transmit data while the secondary IPMB, Base, and Fabric buses
receive data. Therefore, 28 buses in total are provided by 14 slots.
The IPMB bus implements board temperature measurement, voltage detection, reset control, fan box in-
position detection, rotation detection, rotation control, power subrack voltage detection, and power subrack
current detection.
Upon detecting a fault, the IPMC of the FRU reports an alarm to the SMM.
The Base bus uses the dual star structure. The Base bus is used for software loading, alarm, and maintenance
information transmission.
Each SWU provides:
12 ports that connect to 12 general process units
2 ports that connect to active/standby SMMs
1 port that connects to the Base plane of another SWU
8 ports that connect to the rear boards. The SWI provides eight external network ports as cascading
extension interfaces.
The SMM and each process unit provide two Base bus ports that connect to dual-bus on the Base plane to
exchange data with the SWU.
The subsystems are as follows:
Device management subsystem: SMM and SDM
Switching subsystem: SWU and SWI
Service processing subsystem: UPB and USI
Electrical subsystem: including the backplane, fan enclosure, and power distribution module
The IPMB bus is used for OSTA2.0 subrack monitoring and device management. The IPMB
bus connects all the devices in the OSTA2.0 subrack.
The SMM can manage the hardware systems in the subrack in a unified manner over the
IPMB bus. The IPMB bus in each slot is connected in dual star structure. The IPMB buses in
the fan enclosure, power subrack, and other subracks are connected in dual-bus mode.
The active and standby SMMs are connected to two IPMB buses to synchronize data.
The Base bus is used as the management and control bus in the OSTA2.0 subrack. The
Base bus is used for software loading, alarm, and maintenance information transmission.
The SWU is the switching core on the Base plane. The SWU exchanges data on the control
plane and provides cascading ports on the Base plane. All the boards are connected to the
SWU over the Base plane to exchange control plane information.
The Fabric bus provides data channels on the service plane and transmits service-related
data.
The SWU is the switching core on the Fabric plane. The SWU exchanges data on the
service data plane and provides cascading ports. All the boards are connected to the SWU
over the Fabric plane to exchange service information.
Note:
1. The RTC module is located on the OMU rear board (USI7).
2. The OMU sets and reads board time using the CPU.
3. The intra-subrack and inter-subrack boards synchronize time using the NTP protocol on
the Base plane.
4. The RTC module provides a level-2 (0.4 PPM) oscillator that ensures time precision upon
NTP server failure.
The NTP server supports maintenance networking and service networking modes. This
slide uses the maintenance networking as an example to describe how the EPU/EPUB
connects to the NTP server over the PFI.
NE software
The NE software is used for signaling access and processing, service control, resource management, and charging information generation. The
NE software cooperates with the background software to respond to the operation commands. The NE software provides the data
management, device management, alarm management, performance measurement, and signaling trace functions for NEs.
The NE software uses the top-down and hierarchical modular design. The operating system, middleware, and various application software are
deployed from the bottom to the top.
Operating system
The NE software uses the Linux system that is a real-time operating system.
Middleware
The USN9810 uses the middleware DDPRA technology between the operating system and application software so that the upper-layer service
software is independent from the bottom-layer operating system. The middleware facilitates the portability of software between platforms. Due
to less service software changes, the middleware supports stable software versions.
Application software
The application software provides functions of the USN9810. Different boards can use different types of application software to implement
different functions. The USN9810 application software includes the following types:
Signaling bearing software: processing the access of narrowband signaling and bottom-layer protocols
Service processing software: performing signaling processing, session management, mobility management, and resource management
Database software: managing device data and dynamic user data
System support software: implementing system management and device interconnection
O&M software: receiving operation commands from the OMU and sending back command execution results
Background software
The background software interworks with the NE software and provides human-machine interfaces. The background software is used by the
maintenance staff to implement data management, device management, alarm management, performance measurement, signaling trace, and
CDR management.
The background software uses the client/server architecture. The background software mainly includes the OMU server software, OMS
software, and WebUI. The OMU server software is installed on the OMU and the OMS software and WebUI are installed on the PCs.
OMU server software
The OMU server software runs on the OMU. The OMU server software integrates the communication server and database server. The OMU
server software forwards the O&M commands from workstations to the NEs and transmits the responses or operation results from the NEs to
the corresponding workstations. The OMU server software is the core of the terminal OAM software.
The OMU server software runs in the Linux operating system. Multiple service processes (for example, maintenance process, data management
process, alarm process, and performance measurement process) work together to provide major functions of the OAM software.

The power monitoring module monitors the power supply system in real time and reports
the power operating status. The power monitoring module generates alarms for
abnormalities. The power monitoring module is located at the power distribution box.
The principles for power distribution box monitoring are as follows:
A monitoring board is installed in the power distribution box to collect the running status
information of the power distribution box.
The monitoring board provides an active RS485 serial port and a standby RS485 serial port
and provides external RS485 serial port cables that are connected to the SDMs (COM2) of
the active and standby SMMs.
The SMM processes the information collected by the monitoring board and reports the
information to the OMU over the internal Base bus. Then, the OMU reports the
information to the OMC system. The OMC system generates the corresponding alarms and
sends the alarms to the alarm console or alarm boxes.
The SMM manages all the hardware devices in the cabinet. The SMM performs device
management, event management, asset management, power management, remote
maintenance, configuration restoration, and power-saving control.
The SMM connects to the fan assembly over the IPMB bus to manage and monitor the fan
assembly.
The power distribution box provides four external Boolean detection ports that are
connected to sensors such as access control, water, and smoke sensors.
The Boolean detection ports collect the ambient information of the equipment room.
The paths for reporting the ambient information of the equipment room and the status of
the power distribution box are the same.
