Core Racks – Main Controller (MC) subrack – front view
MPU — Main Processor Unit
The MPU provides the following:
– Central processing function
– Control of the ARU and the LHU
– A narrow Small Computer System Interface

(SCSI-2) to the MSU.
• MSU — Mass Storage Unit
The MSU contains a fixed-medium hard disk drive

and a removable-medium optical disk drive.

Core Racks – Matrix and Synchronization (MS) subrack – front view
• STU — System Timing Unit
The STU provides system timing and synchronization.
• BSC — Bit Slice Controller
The BSC works with the STU to provide timing signals

for internal transmission paths and control information
for the BSSUs (cross-connect matrix components).
• SRC — Subrack Controller
The SRC routes messages back and forth from the Main
Controller to units in the subrack.

PTM — Power Terminal Module
The PTM filters incoming station power from two

separate power lines and distributes it across the
subrack midplane.
OLU — Optical Link Unit
The OLU is part of the internal transmission path. It

provides interfaces for the optical-fibre cables that
carry transmission data between the BSCs and the
BSSUs. The OLU also provides interfaces for the optical-
fibre cables that carry timing information between the
duplicated BSCs in the Matrix and Synchronisation
subrack.

The DTU provides timing for the

transmission units in the subrack.

The BSIU is part of the internal transmission path. It

transports data between the BSSUs and the port
units. The BSIU also monitors the transmission data
and provides Automatic Protection Switching for
hardware failures.
• IU — STM-1 Interface Unit
The STM-1 interface unit (IU) provides the SDH

Physical Interface (SPI) function for STM-1 electrical
or optical signals. The IU provides four STM-1
interfaces.
