U-SYS SoftX3000 SoftSwitch System Chapter 1 Cabinet and Internal Components

The N68-22 cabinet can be installed on cement floor or ESD-preventive floor. When
installing the N68-22 cabinet on the ESD-preventive floor, you have to use N800 series
supports.

1.2.3 N800 Support and Accessories

I. Introduction to Support

If N68-22 cabinets are installed in the equipment room with ESD-preventive floor, N800
series supports are used.
Supports, made of welded steel plates, are used to block the cabinets up, thus
facilitating floor paving and cabling. Before the whole set of equipment is grounded,
insulation plates must be installed under the supports, and insulating coverings must be
added to the expansion bolts to satisfy the insulation requirements.
N800 series supports have four kinds of components, of which three kinds are height
adjustable and one kind is with fixed height.
Figure 1-3 shows the outer appearance of an N800 support. Table 1-1 shows the height
adjustment range of each kind of component.

IV Customized for the floor height (minimum height: 100 mm)


Note: The height of floor refers to the distance between the upper surface of ESD-preventive
floor and the cement floor.

The height of N800 series I, II and III components can be adjusted within their
adjustable ranges, which is realized by means of the relative move between upper
beam and lower beam.
N800 IV component is the support of fixed height, which is applicable to ultra-high and
ultra-low floors. The lowest applicable floor height of this component is 100 mm.

II. Introduction to floor holder-slide rail assemblies

Floor holder-slide rail assemblies include three parts:


z Floor holder
z Holder fixing component
z Slide rail.
Floor holders are used to support the floor around a cabinet, and can be divided into
front and back floor holders, and side floor holders.
Holder fixing components are installed under slide rails, and they are used to connect
slide rails and front and back floor holders.
Slide rails are used to connect the cabinet and supports, and to move the equipment
and adjust the equipment positions. They can join two supports and a cabinet together
to keep the cabinet in a horizontal line and the connection stable. Due to their elasticity,
the slide rails can absorb the vibrations. Figure 1-4 shows the appearance of a slide
rail.

III. Amount of Supports, Floor Holders, and Slide Rails

To connect cabinets, 2N mode is used to determine the number of supports to be used.


That is, each N68-22 cabinet uses two supports and N cabinets in a row need 2N
supports.
Each cabinet has one set of floor holder-slide rail assemblies, and the sets are
delivered together with the supports. Each set of floor holder-slide rail assemblies
include two slide rails, two side holders, one front floor holder and one back floor holder.
Each cabinet needs two holder fixing components, one front floor holder, and one back
floor holder, and each cabinet row needs two side floor holders, even if there is only one
cabinet in a row.

actual configurations:
z Integrated configuration cabinet
z Service processing cabinet
z MRS cabinet
The MRS cabinet is required when you configure a separate MRS in SoftX3000.

1.3.2 Integrated Configuration Cabinet

I. Overview of Integrated Configuration Cabinet

The integrated configuration cabinet is mandatory. It includes iGWB, BAM, hard disk
array, LAN Switch, KVMS, and service frames. There are three types of services
frames: basic frame, expansion frame, and media resource frame.
The integrated configuration cabinet provides the following features:
z Providing complete service processing ability.
z Providing IP, clock, and TDM external interfaces
z Managing communication between the host and the BAM.
z Storing bills.
z Providing MRS feature when configuring a media resource frame.
The configuration of integrated configuration cabinet in different countries and regions
are different.

II. Integrated Configuration Cabinet in China

V. Configuration Guidance

In an integrated configuration cabinet, iGWB, hard disk array (necessary only when the
iGWB uses the IBM server), BAM, LAN Switch 0, LAN Switch 1, KVMS (or KVM, KVM
switcher), air deflector, basic frame, and power distribution frame must be configured.
Other components are optional.The LAN Switch 2 and LAN Switch 3 are optional
components, and provide IP interfaces for SoftX3000 in coordination with the IFMI in
the basic frame.
If you choose a separate MRS, you must configure an expansion frame at the near top
of the integrated configuration cabinet. Otherwise, configure a media resource frame or
MRS6100 there.

VI. Configuration Notes

If neither an expansion frame nor a media resource frame is configured at the near top
of the integrated configuration cabinet, cover it with a standard blank filler panel.
The media resource frame accommodates MRCA and MRIA only.

1.3.3 Service Processing Cabinet

I. Overview of Service Processing Cabinet

Except for host-BAM communication and bill storage features, the service processing
cabinet provides the same features as the integrated configuration cabinet. The system
capacity determines the number of service processing cabinets (four at maximum).
Figure 1-8 shows the frame position details. All frames are configured in a
bottom-to-top sequence.

Note:
When there are more than 100,000 equivalent subscribers, it is recommended to use a
separate MRS. In this case, configure three service processing cabinets, and replace
the media resource frames with expansion frames.

II. Configuration Guidance

When there is no separate MRS configured in the SoftX3000, you need to configure a
media resource frame in a service processing cabinet (with MRCAs and MRIAs).
When a separate MRS is configured in the SoftX3000, there is no need to configure a
media resource frame in a service processing cabinet. Three service processing
cabinets meet the demand for full configuration.
When there is more than one service processing cabinet, you have to configure a basic
frame 1 on the top of the second service processing cabinet.

III. Configuration Notes

All vacant frame positions must be covered with blank filler panels.

1.5 Power Distribution Frame


1.5.1 Functions of Power Distribution Frame

The power distribution frame (PDF) is installed at the top of an N68-22 cabinet.
Two channels of -48 V power supply are diverted into a PDF where lightning protection
and overcurrent protection operations are performed and finally six groups of -48 V
power supplies are distributed to the functional frames in the cabinet.
In addition, the PDF keeps monitoring the voltage of lead-in power and the state of
distributed power. When detecting a fault, it generates an audio-visual alarm.
The PDF consists of three parts:
z Monitoring unit
z Lightning protection unit
z Power output unit
Figure 1-19 shows the details.

Chapter 2 OSTA Frame

2.1 Introduction to the Chapter

This chapter details the features, classification, and composition of the open standard
telecom architecture (OSTA) frame used in SoftX3000 cabinets. The chapter also
elaborates on the fan box, which is an internal component of the OSTA frame.

2.2 Overview of OSTA Frame

The frame is an independent working unit, which is composed of boards plugged in the
same backplane. SoftX3000 adopts the OSTA hardware platform. The OSTA platform
has four types of backplane buses:
z Shared resource bus
z Ethernet bus
z H.110 bus
z Serial bus
The OSTA frame features high adaptability and reliability. This is applicable to the
exchange and transfer of length-variable data packets of the softswitch.

2.3 Features of OSTA Frame

The OSTA platform is structured in a standard frame which is 19 inches wide and 9U
high. Each OSTA frame is equipped with a pluggable fan box at its lower part, as shown
in Figure 2-1

3.1 Classification of Boards


There are three types of boards in SoftX3000:
Front board
Back board
Backplane
Both the front boards and the back boards are inserted in the backplane.
Table 3-1 lists the functions of the front boards, the back boards, and the backplane.

Table 3-1 Functions of boards used in SoftX3000

Board Function
Front board Service processing boards and management control board
Back board Protocol processing boards and interface boards
Backplane Provides a communication channel for other boards

All SoftX3000 boards are hot-swappable. Some boards have a hot-swapping LED
“OFFLINE” on the front panel and a hot-swapping switch on the ejector-lever.
When you insert a board in the frame and restore the ejector lever, the
hot-swapping switch is closed.
When you push open the ejector lever, the switch is open.
Then the MBUS module of the board sends a board-swapping request to the
active SMUI in the frame and terminates all services in the board.
When the hot-swapping LED is on, you can unplug the board.
Figure 3-1 shows the board insertion mode in SoftX3000.

4.1 Power Cable and Protection Grounding Cable


Power cables are used to supply power to a cabinet and its components. The protection
grounding cables of various components in a cabinet are interconnected through the
grounding bars in the cabinet. Through the protection grounding cables of the cabinet,
the grounding bars are connected to the protection ground (PGND) of the DC power
distribution cabinet, which is connected with the protection grounding bus in the
equipment room. In addition, all cabinets are interconnected by protection grounding
cables as an equipotential system.
The power cables and protection grounding cables of a cabinet and its components
include the following:
z Input power cable and protection grounding cable for cabinet
z Protection grounding cable for power distribution frame (connected before
delivery)
z Power cable and protection grounding cable for service frame
z Power cable and protection grounding cable for KVMS switcher
z Power cable and protection grounding cable for local area network (LAN) Switch
z Power cable and protection grounding cable for hard disk array (only when iGWB
uses IBM server)
z Power cable and protection grounding cable for iGateway Bill (iGWB)/background
administrator module (BAM) server
z Power cable and protection grounding cable for media resource server (MRS)
z Protection grounding cable for interconnection of grounding bars between
adjacent cabinets
z Protection grounding cable for cabinet body
Among these cables, the input power cables for cabinets connect SoftX3000 cabinets
and the direct current (DC) power distribution cabinet in the equipment room, while the
other power cables connect the output terminals of the power distribution cabinet and
the input terminals of the corresponding components and frames.
