2.3 Usage Scenarios of the APM30 and APM30H (Ver.A)

In outdoor scenarios, multiple cabinets and different configurations of cabinets can be used for
a DBS3900 to meet various requirements for power backup, transmission, and capacity.
Cabinet Configuration Principles

NOTE
In this section, the APM is APM30 or APM30H (Ver.A), and the TMC is TMC or TMC11H(Ver.A).
l A single DBS3900 can be configured with a maximum of 12 RRUs. If there are more than
12 RRUs, they must be configured in different base stations.
l A single APM or TMC can provide power to a maximum of six RRUs.

BBU3900
l A single APM supports only one TMC and a maximum of one integrated battery backup
system with TEC (IBBS200T). TEC is short for thermoelectric cooling unit.
l A maximum of six power cables and twelve 2-wire fiber optic cables can be led out from
a single APM.
l A single DCDU supplies power to a maximum of six RRUs.
l The APM or TMC can be installed on the floor or stacked on the battery cabinet.
l A backup battery cabinet (BBC) or IBBS200T can be stacked with a cabinet of the same
type or be stacked under a TMC.
l If an extension cabinet such as a battery cabinet or transmission cabinet is required during
an initial site deployment, the extension cabinet is placed on the left, and the basic cabinet
is placed on the right. If both an extension battery cabinet and an extension transmission
cabinet are required, the battery cabinet is placed on the left of the basic cabinet and the
transmission cabinet is placed onto the battery cabinet or on the left of the battery cabinet.
l Clearance must be reserved during an initial site deployment for future capacity expansion.
In a capacity expansion scenario, the original cabinets are not relocated and new cabinets
are added only to the right of the original cabinets unless they are required to be installed
to the left of the original cabinets in exactly the reverse order of the original cabinets.
Requirements of Customer Equipment Specifications

Customer equipment to be installed in a Huawei cabinet must satisfy the following requirements:
l Dimension requirements (as shown in Figure 2-6):
– The customer equipment must be 19-inch wide, which is the width of the standard
equipment.
– The maximum depth of the customer equipment is 310 mm if the equipment supports
natural ventilation or has air vents on the right and left; the maximum depth of the
customer equipment is 280 mm if the equipment has air vents in the front and back.
– A maximum cabling pace in front of the panel is 70 mm.
l Requirement for air vents:
– If the customer equipment has built-in fans, the fans must have air vents on the right
and left or on the front and back so that wind blows from left to right or from front to
back.
– If the customer equipment support natural ventilation, a minimum of 1 U slot must be
reserved above and below the slot respectively for dissipation.
l Requirement for temperature
– In areas where the highest temperature is or is below 40°C, the customer must be able
to function properly at –10°C temperature or even lower temperature and at 55°C or
even higher temperature.
– In areas where the highest temperature is above 40°C, the customer must be able to
function properly at –10°C temperature or even lower temperature and at 60°C or even
higher temperature.

2.4 Usage Scenario of the APM30H (Ver.B) or APM30H

(Ver.C)
In outdoor scenarios, multiple cabinets and different configurations of cabinets can be used for
the DBS3900 to meet various requirements for power backup, transmission, and capacity.
Cabinet Configuration Principles

l A single DBS3900 can be configured with a maximum of 12 remote radio units (RRUs).
If there are more than 12 RRUs, they must be configured in more than one DBS3900.
l A single advanced power module (APM) or transmission cabinet (TMC) can provide power
to a maximum of six RRUs.

BBU3900
l A single APM can be configured with only one TMC and a maximum of two integrated
battery backup systems with direct cooler (IBBS200Ds) or integrated battery backup
systems with TEC (IBBS200Ts). TEC is short for thermoelectric cooling unit.
l A maximum of six power cables and twelve 2-wire fiber optic cables can be led out from
a single APM.
l A single direct current distribution unit (DCDU) supplies power to a maximum of six RRUs.
l The APM or TMC can be installed on the floor or stacked on the storage battery cabinet.
l A backup battery cabinet (BBC) or IBBS200T can be stacked with a cabinet of the same
type or be stacked under a TMC.
l If an auxiliary cabinet such as a storage battery cabinet or transmission cabinet is required
during an initial site deployment, the auxiliary cabinet is placed on the left, and the basic
cabinet is placed on the right. If both the storage battery cabinet and the transmission cabinet
are required, the storage battery cabinet is placed on the left of the basic cabinet and the
transmission cabinet is placed onto the storage battery cabinet or on the left of the storage
battery cabinet.
l Clearance must be reserved during an initial site deployment for future capacity expansion.
In the capacity expansion scenario, the original cabinets are not relocated and new cabinets
are added only to the right of the original cabinets unless they are required to be installed
to the left of the original cabinets in exactly the reverse order of the original cabinets.
Requirements of Customer Equipment Specifications

Customer equipment to be installed in a Huawei cabinet must satisfy the following requirements:
l Dimension requirements (as shown in Figure 2-10):
– The customer equipment must be 19-inch wide, which is the width of the standard
equipment.
– The maximum depth of the customer equipment is 280 mm if the equipment supports
natural ventilation or has air vents on the right and left; the maximum depth of the
customer equipment is 250 mm if the equipment has air vents in the front and back.
– A maximum cabling pace in front of the panel is 100 mm.
l Requirement for air vents:
– If the customer equipment has built-in fans, the fans must have air vents on the right
and left or on the front and back so that wind blows from left to right or from front to
back.
– If the customer equipment support natural ventilation, a minimum of 1 U slot must be
reserved above and below the slot respectively for dissipation.
l Requirement for temperature
– In areas where the highest temperature is or is below 40°C, the customer must be able
to function properly at –10°C temperature or even lower temperature and at 55°C or
even higher temperature.

2.5 Usage Scenario of the OMB, IMB03, and IFS06

In outdoor scenarios, multiple cabinets and different configurations of cabinets are used for the
DBS3900 to meet various requirements for usage environment, power input, reserved clearance,
and carrier frequency configuration.
Cabinet Configurations of a Single-Mode or Dual-Mode Base Station

If a DBS3900 is configured with an outdoor mini box (OMB) or with an indoor mini box (IMB03)
in a single-mode or dual-mode scenario, only one baseband unit (BBU) can be configured and
is configured in the OMB or the IMB03 and remote radio units (RRUs) can be installed on a
pole, a wall, a U-steel, or an angle steel.
If a DBS3900 is configured with both the IMB03 and the indoor floor installation support
(IFS06), the IMB03 and the IFS06 can be installed together, a scenario where the DBS3900 is
installed on an indoor centralized rack (ICR).
The configuration of a DBS3900 in a single-mode or dual-mode scenario varies depending on

the requirements of usage environment, power input, reserved clearance, and carrier frequency
configuration. Table 2-7 lists the configurations.

NOTE
(1) If both high-power RRUs and low-power RRUs exist in the same base station, the power configuration
for high-power RRUs will apply for the base station.
(2) If possible, it is suggested to configure the base station with the power configuration for maximum
high-power RRUs so as to satisfy all scenarios. If the power configuration has to be in accordance with
actual scenarios, the circuit breaker and power cables need to be upgraded in case of base station extension.
(3) If there are more than six RRUs in the base station, a new DCDU-11B will be needed.
(4) The power configuration applicable for the scenarios with higher power consumption is also applicable
for the scenarios with lower power consumption.
(5) The circuit breakers with higher capacity is applicable for the scenarios where the circuit breakers with
lower capacity can be used. The circuit breaker capacities are ranked as: 160 A > 2 x 80 A > 2 x 63 A >
100 A > 80 A > 63 A
(6) If the power consumption of transmission equipment is over 350 W, the corresponding minimum
requirement for the circuit breaker will be enhanced by the additional power consumption.
(7) If two external power inputs are supplied, the following requirements must be met:
l The two power inputs must be supplied by the same power cabinet.
l The circuit breakers used for the two power inputs have the same model and specifications.
l The power cables for the two power inputs must have the same cross-sectional area and length.
l When powering on the DBS3900, turn on the two circuit breakers of power input before turning on
the circuit breakers for all the RRUs. When powering off the DBS3900, turn off the circuit breakers
for all the RRUs before turning off the two circuit breakers of power input.
In an outdoor scenario with DC power supply, a heater is required in the TMC series cabinets
for the DBS3900. In this case, one additional AC power input is required. Table 3-10 lists the
recommended configurations of circuit breakers and power cables.

3.4 Power Distribution Scheme of the APM30 or APM30H

(Ver.A)
This section describes the power distribution schemes for a DBS3900 configured with an APM30
or APM30H (Ver.A) in the 110 V AC, 220 V AC, and -48 V DC power supply scenarios. APM
is short for advanced power module, and APM30H is short for advanced power module with a
heat-exchanger cooler.

BBU3900
Power Distribution Schemes in the 110 V AC and 220 V AC Power Supply Scenarios
In a 110 V AC or 220 V AC power supply scenario, a power distribution unit (PDU) in the
APM30 or APM30H (Ver.A) converts AC power to DC power and then distributes the power.
The PDU supplies two AC power inputs and ten DC power inputs.
Figure 3-1and Figure 3-2 show the power distribution schemes for the APM30 in the 220 V
AC and 110 V AC power supply scenarios. Table 3-15 lists the specifications of the circuit
breakers and fuses in the DBS3900 in the scenarios.
NOTE
In a scenario with a 220 V AC three-phase power supply, the three AC power inputs do not need to be
connected in series using a short-circuiting strip. The power distribution principles for this scenario are the
same as those for the 220 V AC single-phase power supply scenario.

3.5 Power Distribution Scheme of the APM30H (Ver.B) or

APM30H (Ver.C)
This section describes the power distribution schemes for a DBS3900 configured with an
APM30H (Ver.B) or an APM30H (Ver.C) in the 110 V AC, 220 V AC, –48 V DC, and +24 V
DC power supply scenarios. APM30H is short for advanced power module with a heat-
exchanger cooler.
In a scenario with 110 V AC or 220 V AC power supply, the embedded power supply system
(EPS) and embedded power subrack unit (EPU) in the cabinet converts AC power to DC power
and distributes the DC power.
The EPS or EPU supplies two AC power outputs:

l One provides AC power for the service outlet unit (SOU).
l One is connected to the junction box on the left of the cabinet, and divided into four AC
power outputs, which are then provided for the heater or heating film.
A power supply unit (PSU) converts the AC power to DC power, which is then supplied to the
storage battery cabinet, transmission cabinet, baseband unit (BBU), remote radio unit (RRU),
and other equipment in the DBS3900.
NOTE
When the 220 V AC three-phase power supply is used, the three AC power inputs do not need to be
connected in series using a short-circuiting bar. The power distribution principles for this scenario are the
same as those for the 220 V AC single-phase power supply scenario.
Figure 3-7 and Figure 3-8 show the power distribution schemes for the APM30H (Ver.B) in
the 220 V AC and 110 V AC power supply scenarios. Table 3-18 lists the specifications of the

4.5 Customized Alarm Input

When an alarm is generated by the customized equipment, the alarm must be reported to the
BBU.
Customized alarms are reported to the BBU by any of the following methods:
l The alarms are collected by the UPEU or UEIU in the BBU.

BBU3900
l The alarms are collected by the EMUA. For details about software configurations, see the
related initial configuration guide.
Monitoring Board Configuration

If a BBU monitors customer devices, customized alarms about the devices must be reported to
the BBU. The configurations of monitoring boards in the DBS3900 depend on the number of
customized alarms, as listed in Table 4-2.

l If backup power is required for the BBU, two UPEUs rather than UPEU+UEIU are configured.
l The analog values can be monitored only by the EMUA.
l Two USLP2s and one SLPU are delivered in a package.
l The EMUA with sensors is configured according to site requirements for the indoor DBS3900.
Customized Alarms Collected by the UPEU or UEIU

Each UPEU or UEIU in the BBU supports eight Boolean alarm inputs. A maximum of two
UPEUs or UPEU+UEIU can be configured for the BBU, which means there are 16 Boolean
alarm inputs. This method can be used for the configuration of less than 16 customized alarm
inputs.
If using this method, connect the device to be monitored to the SLPU for surge protection, and
then connect the device to the EXT_ALM port on the BBU, as shown in Figure 4-20.

BBU3900
Figure 4-20 Customized alarms collected by the UPEU or UEIU
Customized alarm signals are transmitted to the IN0 to IN3 ports on the USLP2 in the SLPU
and then transferred to the EXT_ALM port on the UPEU or EUIU through the alarm cable for
the BBU. Table 4-3 describes the relationship between the IN0 to IN3 ports and the number of
customized alarms.

NOTE
The SLPU is configured with two USLP2s by default before delivery when it is used as an alarm signal
protection unit. If a BBU is configured with one UPEU, the UPEU must be installed only in the lower slot.
In this case, the USLP2 in the upper slot of the SLPU is not used.
Customized Alarms Collected by the EMUA

The EMUA can be configured for the DBS3900 that requires more than 16 Boolean alarm
signals. Each EMUA supports 32 Boolean alarm inputs and two RS485 signal inputs.

BBU3900
Customized alarms are transmitted to the EMUA that connects to the PMU. Then, the PMU
reports the alarms to the CMUA, which transfers the alarms to the BBU through the MON port.
For details about cable connections, see Figure 4-21.

BBU3900
Function
The UPEU performs the following functions:
l Converts –48 V DC or +24 V DC power into +12 V DC power, which is the only operating
voltage of the BBU.
l Provides ports for two RS485 signal inputs and eight Boolean signal inputs. The Boolean
signal inputs can be dry contact type or open collector (OC) type.
Table 5-33 lists the specifications of the UPEUs.
Table 5-33 Specifications of the UPEUs

Board Output Power Backup
UPEUa A UPEUa has an output 1+1 backup

power of 300 W.
UPEUc A UPEUc has an output 1+1 backup

power of 360 W and two
UPEUc boards have a total
output power of 650 W.
UPEUa+UPEUc A UPEUa and a UPEUc have -

a total output power of 360
W.
NOTE
If a UPEUa is replaced with a UPEUc, the power consumption changes in the monitoring of the power
consumption on the M2000. The monitoring result of the power consumption varies depending on the
output power and the sampling method. In this situation, the UPEUc and the UPEUa adopt different
sampling methods and therefore the monitored power consumption may decrease after a UPEUa is replaced
with a UPEUc.
Indicator
The UPEU has one indicator, which indicates the operating status of the UPEU. Table 5-34 lists
the indications of the indicator in different status.

Route Backup Mode with IP Common Transmission

In a GSM+UMTS base station, the route backup mode with IP common transmission has the
following characteristics:
l IP transmission is applied. The GTMU and WMPT are connected to the BSC and RNC
respectively using the active channel.

BBU3900
l The GTMU and the WMPT are interconnected using FE ports on their panels.
l If the active channel is faulty, the standby channel takes over. After the active channel is
restored, the route is switched back to the active one.
l The bandwidth required by UMTS services is larger than the processing capability of the
GSM standard transport network. Therefore, when the standby channel is used, the Quality
of Service (QoS) of only high-priority data flows can be guaranteed.
following limitations:
l The route backup function is not applicable when the base station uses the IP over E1
common transmission.
l The route backup mode is not applicable to the ports on the UTRPs for GSM or UMTS
transmission. It is applicable only to the ports on the GTMU and WMPT panels.
l In route backup mode, the FE ports of one type on the GTMU and WMPT panels are
interconnected. The FE ports of the other type on the two boards are connected to the BSC
and the RNC.

6.2.19 Transmission Cable Connections for a Triple-Mode Base

Station
The triple-mode base station solution is provided by Huawei in SingleRAN6.0, which is
applicable to three scenarios: GU+LO, GL+UO, and UO+GL. This section describes the
transmission cable connections for the triple-mode base stations in three scenarios.
In SingleRAN6.0, a single BBU can support a maximum of two modes, and two BBUs are
required for a triple-mode base station.
In this document, the two BBUs are described as BBU0 and BBU1 for better understanding.
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.
l 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.

BBU3900
l 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.
