Item Specifications
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.
4 Cabinet
Classification of Cabinets
Based on the logical functions of configured subracks, 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
boards, whereas an EPS is not configured with the OMU or GCU board.
The MPR is mandatory in the BSC6910.Only one MPR is configured in the BSC6910.
The EPR is optional in the BSC6910. The number of EPRs to be configured depends on the
traffic volume, but only one EPR can be configured in the BSC6910.
Figure 4-2 shows the components of a BSC6910 cabinet (N68E-22).
Component Configuration
Subracks An MPR is configured with one Main
Processing Subrack (MPS) and
depending on the traffic volume zero to
two Extended Processing Subracks
(EPSs).
An EPR is configured with one to three
EPSs, depending on the traffic volume
Air deflector Two air deflectors are configured.
Air defense frame One air defense frame is configured.
Component Configuration
Rear cable trough Three rear cable troughs are configured.
Front door One front door is configured.
The front door has an air intake vent and
a dust filter.
Rear door One rear door is configured.
The rear door has an air exhaust vent but
not a dust filter.
Subracks are numbered from bottom to top. The subrack at the bottom of a cabinet is numbered 0.
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.
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
Figure 4-4 shows the relationship between power outputs and inputs when three subracks are
configured in a cabinet.
Figure 4-4 Relationship between power outputs and inputs when three subracks are configured
If the distance between two cabinets is greater than 10 m, the SCUb boards in different
cabinets are connected using multi-mode optical fibers, but the SCUb boards within a cabinet
are connected using SFP+ high-speed cables.
Ports 4 to 7 and ports 8 to 11 share the same port and cannot work simultaneously.
Ports 0 to 7 are used for interconnection between SCUc boards.
The SCUc boards in the same cabinet are connected using 3–meter-long QSFP+ high-speed cables.
The SCUc boards in different cabinets are connected using 40GE MPO optical modules and MPO
optical fibers.
Figure 4-7 Connections of signal cables between SCUb and SCUc boards
Ports 4 to 7 and ports 8 to 11 share the same port and cannot work simultaneously.
Ports 8 to 11 are used for interconnection between SCUb and SCUc boards. The principles for
interconnection between SCUb and SCUc boards are the same as those for interconnection between
SCUb boards.
If the cabling distance between two cabinets is less than 10 m, the SCUc boards in different cabinets
are connected using 10–meter-long SFP+ high-speed cables, and the SCUc boards in the same
cabinet are connected using 3–meter-long SFP+ high-speed cables.
If the cabling distance between two cabinets is greater than 10 m, the SCUc boards in different
cabinets are connected using 10GE SFP+ optical modules and multimode optical fibers, and the
SCUc boards in the same cabinet are connected using 3–meter-long SFP+ high-speed cables.

6 Subracks
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.

Fan speed adjustment range The speed of the fans can be adjusted from
28% to 100% of the full speed.
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.
Subrack Structure
Figure 6-4 shows the structure of a subrack.
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.
Figure 6-5 Switching bandwidth of each slot in a subrack configured with two SCUb boards
Figure 6-6 shows the switching bandwidth of each slot when the subrack is configured with
two SCUc boards.
Figure 6-6 Switching bandwidth of each slot in a subrack configured with two SCUc boards

Performance specifications
Table 7-39 describes the performance specifications of the ESAUa board.
The ESAUa board requires a amount of bandwidth for communication with the U2000.
Table 7-40 lists the bandwidth required by the ESAUa board.
The ESAUa board contains mechanical hard disks. The lifespan of mechanical hard disks is
short, and so the lifespan of the ESAUa board is about five years.
Adverse environments, such as high temperature or high altitude, shorten the board lifespan.
The ESAUa board must be protected against vibration, shock, and abnormal shutdowns to
ensure the lifespan.
The ESAUa board is optional. Each BSC6910 is configured with one ESAUa board.
The ESAUa board is preferentially installed in the MPS. When all slots in the MPS are occupied, the
ESAUa board can be installed in the EPS.
When the ESAUa board is installed in the MPS, all boards in the MPS except the EOMUa and
ESAUa boards will reset if the MPS resets. Services carried on the ESAUa board are unaffected.
When the ESAUa board is installed in the EPS, all boards in the EPS except the ESAUa board will
reset if the EPS resets. Services carried on the ESAUa board are unaffected.
The ESAUa and EOMUa boards cannot be installed in active and standby slot pairs. For example,
slots 04 and 05 form a slot pair, which works in active/standby mode with the slot pair formed by
slots 06 and 07. If an ESAUa board has been installed in slots 06 and 07, an EOMUa board cannot
be installed in slots 04 and 05. The EOMUa board can be installed in slots 08 and 09, because the
slot pair formed by 06 and 07 do not work in active/standby mode with the slot pair formed by 08
and 09.

8.13 MPO Optical Module and MPO Optical Fiber
MPO optical modules and MPO optical fibers are used for interconnection between SCUc
boards in two different cabinets.
The OT terminals of the -48 V DC and RTN power cables on the cabinet side are of M6 type.
The OT terminals of the PGND cable on the cabinet side are of M8 type.
The type of terminals of the -48 V DC and RTN power cables, and PGND cable on the PDF side
depends on actual conditions.
Each cabinet must be configured with one external PGND cable. When cabinets are installed
side by side, three inter-cabinet PGND cables must be installed between every two adjacent
cabinets. Other PGND cables are already installed in the cabinet before delivery.
Table 8-2 describes the PGND cables.
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.
