Classification of Cabinets
Based on the logical functions of subracks configured, cabinets are classified into the main
processing rack (MPR) and extended processing rack (EPR). The MPR is configured with
main processing subracks (MPSs) and extended processing subracks (EPSs), but the EPR is
configured only with EPSs. An MPS and an EPS have the same physical structure but are
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.
Figure 3-2 shows the components of a BSC6910 cabinet (N68E-22).

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.
An empty cabinet is configured with front and rear doors, side panels, and a set of cables.
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 GSM
Hardware Description
3 Cabinet
The PDF provides two power sources (one active and one standby) for the equipment
and one PGND connection for each cabinet.
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.
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.
Figure 3-3 Relationship 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.

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.

The PGND cables connect the cabinet and the ground bar in the equipment room, protecting

Hardware Description
5 Subracks
As the main processing subrack, the MPS is configured in the MPR. Only one MPS is
configured in the BSC6910. The MPS processes the basic services of the BSC6910, performs
operation and maintenance, and provides clock signals for the system.
As the extended processing subrack, the EPS is configured in the MPR or EPR. It processes
the basic services of the BSC6910.
Subrack Structure
In compliance with the IEC60297 standard, each subrack is 19 inches in width and 12 U in
height. Figure 5-1 shows the structure of a subrack.

PAMU(PARCb)
The PAMU(PARCb) board is configured with a port for the environment monitoring unit

the EMU, the ELU port is reserved and now not used, and the DIP switch is used to set the
frame ID.

When the BSC6910 is powered on or is upgraded, the fans in the subrack will not run at full speed.
The fan speed is adjusted based on ambient temperature.
When a fan is faulty, the fans in the same fan assembly and in the other fan assembly in the subrack
will run at an accelerated speed.

Figure 5-4 shows the structure of a subrack.

(2) Backplane
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.
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.
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.
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.
Each slot provides a different switching bandwidth. A board must be configured in a slot with
sufficient bandwidth.
Figure 5-5 shows the switching bandwidth of each slot when the subrack is configured with
two SCUb boards.

The EOMUa board contains mechanical hard disks. The lifespan of mechanical hard disks is
short, and so the lifespan of the EOMUa board is about five years.
Adverse environments, such as high temperature or high altitude, shorten the board lifespan.
The EOMUa board must be protected against vibration, shock, and abnormal shutdowns to
ensure the lifespan.

The ESAUa board is optional. Each BSC6910 is configured with one ESAUa board.
The ESAUa board is preferentially installed in the MPS. When all slots in the MPS are occupied, the
ESAUa board can be installed in the EPS.
When the ESAUa board is installed in the MPS, all boards in the MPS except the EOMUa and
ESAUa boards will reset if the MPS resets. Services carried on the ESAUa board are unaffected.

The ESAUa and EOMUa boards cannot be installed in active and standby slot pairs. For example,
slots 04 and 05 form a slot pair, which works in active/standby mode with the slot pair formed by
slots 06 and 07. If an ESAUa board has been installed in slots 06 and 07, an EOMUa board cannot
be installed in slots 04 and 05. The EOMUa board can be installed in slots 08 and 09, because the
slot pair formed by 06 and 07 do not work in active/standby mode with the slot pair formed by 08
and 09.

The number of session setup/release times indicates the signaling processing capability of an
Abis/A-interface board.
Extracts timing signals from the external synchronization timing port and from the
synchronization line signals, processes the timing signals, and provides the timing
signals and reference clock for the entire system.
Performs the fast pull-in and holdover functions on the system clock.
Supports switchovers between active and standby boards. The standby GCUa/GCGa
board traces the clock phase of the active GCUa/GCGa board. This ensures the smooth
output of the clock phase in the case of a switchover.
Receives and processes the clock signals and positioning information from the GPS card
(Only the GCGa board supports this function.).

In actual installation, the LC/PC optical connector at one end of the optical fiber is connected to an
optical interface board in the BSC6910, and the connector type at the other end of the optical fiber
depends on site requirements.
The SFP+ high-speed cable has two length specifications: 3 m (9.84 ft.) and 10 m (32.80 ft.). 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.
The LC/PC-LC/PC single-mode/multimode optical fiber connects an optical interface board to the
ODF or another NE or interconnects optical interface boards.
In practice, two optical fibers form a pair. Both ends of each optical fiber in the pair are attached
with temporary labels. If one end of the optical fiber is connected to the TX port, the other end
should be connected to the RX port.
The TX and RX ends of each optical fiber must be connected correctly. Otherwise, the optical
signals cannot be received or transmitted.
