Power The maximum power consumption of a subrack is 4000 W.
consumption Currently, the BSC6910cabinet 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 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.
If the product configuration is high and the heat consumption
capability of the equipment room is sufficient, you can modify power
consumption alarm thresholds based on the heat consumption
capability of the equipment room.
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 of the input voltage range,
multiple boards will become abnormal at the same time.
Therefore, check the power system if multiple boards are abnormal at the same time.
4.4 Cabinet Cable

Cabinet cables consists of cabinet power cables, PGND cables, and cabinet signal cables.
4.4.1 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.

BSC6910 UMTS
As shown in Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4,, 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:
 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 normally 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
working principle of PEM 01 is the same as that of PEM 00.
Figure 4-3 shows the relationship between power outputs and inputs when only one subrack is
configured in a cabinet.
Figure 4-3 Relationship between power outputs and inputs when only one subrack is configured

BSC6910 UMTS
Figure 4-4 shows the relationship between power outputs and inputs when three subracks are
configured in a cabinet.

About This Chapter

This chapter describes subracks. Subracks are used to house boards and backplanes to form an
independent unit.
6.1 Components of the Subrack
The main components of a subrack are the fan assembly, slots, and backplane.
6.1 Components of the Subrack

The main components of a subrack are the fan assembly, slots, and backplane.
Classification of Subracks
Based on functions, subracks are classified into the main processing subrack (MPS), extended
processing subrack (EPS).
As the main processing subrack, the MPS is configured in the MPR. Only one MPS is
configured in the BSC6910. The MPS processes the basic services of the BSC6910, performs
operation and maintenance, and provides clock signals for the system.
As the extended processing subrack, the EPS is configured in the MPR or EPR. It processes
the basic services of the BSC6910.
Subrack Structure
In compliance with the IEC60297 standard, each subrack is 19 inches in width and 12 U in
height. Figure 6-1 shows the structure of a subrack.

 When the BSC6910 is powered on or is upgraded, the fans in the subrack will not run at full speed.
The fan speed is adjusted based on ambient temperature.
 When a fan is faulty, the fans in the same fan assembly and in the other fan assembly in the subrack
will run at an accelerated speed.
6.1.3 Slots in a Subrack

A backplane is positioned in the center of a subrack, and boards are installed on the front and
rear sides of the backplane. Each slot provides a different switching bandwidth. A board must
be configured in a slot with sufficient bandwidth.
Subrack Structure
Figure 6-4 shows the structure of a subrack.

BSC6910 UMTS
Figure 6-4 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
and standby slots. A pair of active and standby boards must be installed in a pair of active and
standby slots.
 The pair of active and standby boards installed in the active and standby slots must be of the same
type. For example, if slots 14 is configured with GCUa/GCUb board, slots 15 must be configured
with GCUa/GCUb board.
 Different types of boards can be installed in non-active and standby slots. For example, if the
GCUa/GCUb board is installed in slot 15, the EXOUa board can be installed in slot 16.
Each slot provides a different switching bandwidth. A board must be configured in a slot with
sufficient bandwidth.
Figure 6-5 shows the switching bandwidth of each slot when the subrack is configured with
two SCUb boards.

6.1.4 DIP Switch on a Subrack

The DIP switch on a subrack is used to set the number of the subrack.
Appearance
Figure 6-7 shows a DIP switch cover.
Figure 6-7 DIP switch cover
Description About the DIP Switch

The DIP switch on the subrack has eight bits numbered in ascending order from 1 to 8. Table
6-6 describes the bits.
Table 6-6 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)

BSC6910 UMTS
 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 6-7 describes the setting of the DIP switch.

8.3 Optical Fiber

An optical fiber is used to connect an optical interface board to the Optical Distribution Frame
(ODF) or another NE, or to interconnect SCU boards. It is optional in the BSC6910. The
number of optical fibers to be installed depends on site requirements.
Classification of Optical Fiber

According to the types of optical connectors at both ends of the optical fiber, the optical fiber
can be classified into the following types:
 LC/PC-LC/PC single-mode/multimode optical fiber
 LC/PC-FC/PC single-mode/multimode optical fiber
 LC/PC-SC/PC single-mode/multimode optical fiber
 In actual installation, the LC/PC optical connector at one end of the optical fiber is connected to an
optical interface board in the BSC6910, and the connector type at the other end of the optical fiber
depends on site requirements.
 The SFP+ high-speed cable has two length specifications: 3 m (9.84 ft.) and 10 m (32.80 ft.). When
the cabling distance between two subracks in different cabinets is longer than 10 m (32.80 ft.), the
SCU boards in the two subracks need to be connected using a multimode optical fiber. The SCU
boards inside the same cabinet are connected using SFP+ high-speed cables.
 The LC/PC-LC/PC single-mode/multimode optical fiber connects an optical interface board to the
ODF or another NE or interconnects optical interface boards.
 In practice, two optical fibers form a pair. Both ends of each optical fiber in the pair are attached
with temporary labels. If one end of the optical fiber is connected to the TX port, the other end
should be connected to the RX port.
The TX and RX ends of each optical fiber must be connected correctly. Otherwise, the optical
signals cannot be received or transmitted.
