Configuration Rules of the Boards

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the BSC6900 boards.
Classification of Boards
Table 1 provides the classification of the BSC6900 boards.
Functions of boards
The BSC6900 boards provide different functions when being loaded with different software, as described in Table 2.

GCP All the subsystems are configured as CPU for Service (CPUS) subsystems, which are used
to process the services in the control plane of the GSM BSC.
UCP All the subsystems are configured as CPU for Service (CPUS) subsystems, which are used
to process the services in the control plane of the UMTS RNC.
RGCP Subsystem 0 is configured as the MPU subsystem, which is used to manage resources. All
the other subsystems are configured as CPUS subsystems, which are used to process the
services in the control plane of the GSM BSC.
RUCP Subsystem 0 is configured as the MPU subsystem, which is used to manage resources. All
the other subsystems are configured as CPUS subsystems, which are used to process the

NOTE:
l Boards provides the replacement relationships of boards.
l Each MPU subsystem can manage a maximum of 23 CPUS subsystems. It is recommended that you configure each MPU subsystem to manage a maximum of 15 CPUS
subsystems.
For example, you must configure one XPUb/SPUb board out of every three pairs of XPUb/SPUb boards to be of the logical type RGCP/RUCP. It is recommended that you configure
one XPUb/SPUb board out of every two pairs of XPUb/SPUb boards to be of the logical type RGCP/RUCP.
l It is recommended that the services of the boards in each subrack be controlled by the MPU subsystem in the same subrack to avoid a large data flow transmitted between subracks.
l It is recommended that service processing boards and interface boards be evenly distributed among subracks to reduce data exchanging between subracks.
l It is recommended that interface boards, XPU/SPU boards, and DPU boards be evenly distributed in each subrack.
