BSC6910 GSM
Figure 3-1 Appearance of the cabinet
3.2 Components of the Cabinet

Based on functions, cabinets are classified into the main processing rack (MPR) and extended
processing rack (EPR). The components of the MPR are the same as those of the EPR. The
components are subracks, air defence subrack, and rear cable troughs.
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).

range
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.
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.
3.4 Cabinet Cable

Cabinet cables consists of cabinet power cables, PGND cables, and cabinet signal cables.
3.4.1 Relationship 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:

BSC6910 GSM
 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

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.

Subrack Structure
Figure 5-4 shows the structure of a subrack.
Figure 5-4 Structure of a subrack
(1) Front slot (2) Backplane (3) Rear slot
 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.
Figure 5-5 shows the switching bandwidth of each slot when the subrack is configured with
two SCUb boards.

BSC6910 GSM
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)
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:
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.
− If the number is even, set bit 6 to OFF.
− If the number is odd, set bit 6 to ON.
Table 5-7 describes the setting of the DIP switch.

6.1 Configuration of a Subrack and Principles for

Installing Boards
This section describes configuration of a subrack and principles for installing boards.
Configuration of a Subrack
BSC6910 subrack configuration includes the typical configuration of the MPS and EPS.

BSC6910 GSM
Configuration of the MPS

The MPS is configured in the MPR. Each BSC6910 cabinet must be configured with one
MPS.
The boards that can be installed in the MPS are the EOMUa, ESAUa, SCUb, GCUa/GCGa,
EGPUa, EXOUa, FG2c, and GOUc. Figure 6-1 shows the configuration of the MPS.
Figure 6-2 Configuration of the MPS
 The INT1 board (interface board) can be the INT2, EXOUa, POUc board.
 The INT2 board (interface board) can be the FG2c, GOUc, FG2d, GOUd board.
 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.
 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.
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.

BSC6910 GSM

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.
 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:
 Switching Board
− SCUb boards must be installed in slots 20 and 21.
 Clock Board
− GCUa, GCUb, GCGa, GCGb boards must be installed in slots 14 and 15 in the MPS.
 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.
− ESAUa boards can be installed in slots other than SCUb, GCUa, GCUb, GCGa, and
GCGb. A maximum of two ESAUa boards can be configured. It is recommended that
the ESAUa be installed in slots 0, 1, 2, and 3 in the MPS.
 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.

BSC6910 GSM
− The EGPUa/EXPUa boards of the RMP logical type are installed in slots 8 and 9 in
the MPS.
− EGPUa/EXPUa boards can be installed in slots other than those for the SCUb,
GCUa/GCGa, and EOMUa/ESAUa boards. EGPUa/EXPUa boards are preferentially
installed in slots 0 to 13.
 Interface Board
− Interface boards must be installed in the rear slots of a subrack to facilitate cable
layout.
− The FG2c, GOUc, FG2d, GOUd 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.
6.2 EGPUa Board
