The GPS antenna system receives GPS satellite signals. It is optional
in the BSC6910.
LMT The LMT is equipped with the Huawei LMT software package and
is connected to the OM network of the BSC6910. The LMT is used
to operate and maintain the BSC6910.
For details, see BSC6910 UMTS LMT User Guide.
3 Cabinet
A cabinet is a main component of the BSC6910. The BSC6910 uses N68E-22 or N68E-21-N
cabinet.
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.
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.
(4) Air defence frame (5) PEM (6) Rear cable trough
Component Configuration
NOTE
Subracks are numbered from bottom to top. The subrack at the bottom of a cabinet is numbered 0.
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.
NOTE
An empty cabinet is configured with front and rear doors, side panels, and a set of cables.
CAUTION
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.
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.
l The PDF provides two power sources (one active and one standby) for the equipment and
one PGND connection for each cabinet.
l 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.
l 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 3-3 shows the relationship between power outputs and inputs when only one subrack is
configured in a cabinet.
Figure 3-3 Relationshipship between power outputs and inputs when only one subrack is
configured
Figure 3-4 shows the relationship between power outputs and inputs when three subracks are
configured in a cabinet.
Figure 3-4 Relationshipship between power outputs and inputs when three subracks are
configured
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.
When the cabling distance between two subracks in different cabinets is longer than 10 m (32.80
ft.), the SCUb boards in the two subracks need to be connected using a multimode optical fiber.
The SCUb boards inside the same cabinet are connected using SFP+ high-speed cables.
The PGND cables connect the cabinet and the ground bar in the equipment room, protecting the
cabinet from electrostatic discharge. Figure 3-6 shows the connections of power cables and
PGND cables for a BSC.
Table 3-3 shows the connections of power cables and PGND cables for the BSC6910.

Figure 4-3 shows the air deflector.Figure 4-4 shows the air deflector with pegs.
5 Subracks
This chapter describes subracks. Subracks are used to house boards and backplanes to form an
independent unit.
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 5-1 shows the structure of a subrack.
(1) Fan assembly (2) Board configured on the front side (3) Power entry module (PEM)
(4) PAMU(PARCb) (5) Board configured on the rear side (6) Ground screw
The PAMU(PARCb) board is configured with a port for the environment monitoring unit
(EMU), a port for the electronic label unit (ELU), and a DIP switch. The EMU port connects
the EMU, the ELU port is reserved and now not used, and the DIP switch is used to set the frame
ID.
Component Description
Table 5-1 describes the components of the subrack.
Component Description
There are power wiring terminals, indicators, and switches on the PEM.
There are two types of PEM: PEM and PEMa. They can both be called PEM. Only the rated
current and power are different: 80 A and 6400 W for PEM; 60 A and 6400 W for PEMa.
Appearance
Figure 5-2 show the appearance of the PEM and PEMa. Only the silkscreen is different: 80 A
for PEM and 60 A for PEMa.
NOTE
Each subrack requires two PEMs installed in logical slots 00 and 01, respectively. The PEM beside slot 14
is installed in logical slot 00, and the PEM beside slot 27 is installed in logical slot 01.

Item Specifications
Fan speed adjustment range The speed of the fans can be adjusted from
28% to 100% of the full speed.
NOTE
l 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.
l 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.
Subrack Structure
Figure 5-4 shows the structure of a subrack.
NOTE
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
Each slot provides a different switching bandwidth. A board must be configured in a slot with
sufficient bandwidth.
Figure 5-5 shows the switching bandwidth of each slot when the subrack is configured with two
SCUb boards.
Figure 5-5 Switching bandwidth of each slot in a subrack configured with two SCUb boards
NOTE
If only one SCUb board is functioning in the subrack, the switching bandwidth of each slot reduces by
half.
Appearance
Figure 5-6 shows a DIP switch cover.
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.

l 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 where the SCUb, GCUa, and GCGa boards are
not installed. It is recommended that ESAUa boards be installed in slots 6 and 7 of the
MPS subrack.
l 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.
The EGPUa boards of the RMP logical type are installed in slots 8 and 9 in the MPS.
EGPUa boards can be installed in slots other than those for the SCUb, GCUa/GCGa,
and EOMUa/ESAUa boards. EGPUa boards are preferentially installed in slots 0 to 13.
l Interface Board
Interface boards must be installed in the rear slots of a subrack to facilitate cable layout.
The FG2c, GOUc 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.The IuPS interface boards that carry IP
transmission are preferentially installed in slots 16 to 19 and 22 to 25.
The AOUc, UOIc boards support small throughput. The boards are preferentially
installed in slots 14 to 15 and 26 to 27. If these slots are occupied, the boards can be
installed in slots 16 to 19 and 22 to 25.
The board is optional. It can be installed in the MPS or EPS. The number of boards to be installed
depends on site requirements and the number of available slots. For details on the maximum
number of boards that can be installed and how to calculate this number, see BSC6910
Configuration Principles. This document will be delivered to customers during the marketing
phase. The boards are preferentially installed in slots 14 to 15 and 26 to 27. If these slots are
occupied, the boards can be installed in slots 16 to 19 and 22 to 25.
