Cabinet Configuration Rules

l A maximum of two cabinets can be configured in a site and a maximum of 12 RFUs can be configured in two cabinets of a site. If the number of RFUs exceeds 12, an extra site is required. In a single-mode or dual-mode scenario, only one BBU is configured. In a triple-mode scenario, two BBUs are configured. In a triple-mode scenario, BBU 0 is the root BBU and BBU 1 is the leaf BBU. If cabinets are stacked, the BTS3900 (-48 V DC) cabinet is used preferentially. In special scenarios, for example, the space is insufficient, AC cabinets can be used. However, the highest operating temperature of the cabinets is 50C.

This section describes the configurations of a single-mode, dual-mode, and triple-mode base station when BTS3900 is configured with both RRUs and RFUs.
Rules for Configuring the Cabinet

l In a single-mode or dual-mode scenario, the BTS3900 supports a maximum configuration of six RFUs with six RRUs. An additional site is needed when configuration exceeds six RFUs and six RRUs. In a triple-mode scenario, the BTS3900 supports a maximum configuration of twelve RFUs with six RRUs. An additional site is needed when configuration exceeds six RFUs and six RRUs. Only the BTS3900 (-48 V DC) cabinet applies to the scenario where both the RRUs and RFUs are configured. The RRUs are connected to the BTS3900 through optical cables, and the RRUs' power is supplied by a DCDU-11B installed on a wall. In a single-mode or dual-mode scenario, only one BBU is configured. In a triple-mode scenario, two BBUs are configured. BBU 0 is the root BBU and BBU 1 is the leaf BBU.

NOTE
After the UPEUa is replaced by the UPEUc, the UPEU power consumption data monitored by the M2000 will change. The power consumption data does not only depend on the output power but also on the data collection method. The UPEUc and UPEUa use different methods for collecting power consumption data. Therefore, the decrease in the power consumption shown in the M2000 after the UPEUa is replaced by the UPEUc does not necessarily reflect the actual decrease of power consumption.

Transmission Cable Connections for a Triple-Mode Base Station

This section describes the transmission cable connections for a triple-mode base station. In this document, the two BBUs are described as BBU0 and BBU1 for better understanding. l l l In an expanded base station, BBU0 is the BBU installed during the initial site construction, and BBU1 is the BBU installed during the capacity expansion. In a new base station, BBU0 is the BBU working in GSM+UMTS or GSM+LTE mode, and BBU1 is the BBU working in LTE Only or UMTS Only mode. The difference between the GL+UO scenario and UO+GL scenario is as follows: the GL +UO scenario is applicable to both an expanded base station and a new base station, while the UO+GL scenario is applicable only to an expanded base station.
