Static discharge
68P02904W56-D
12 31 Jul 2006
Devices sensitive to static
Certain metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices embody in their design a thin layer of insulation that is
susceptible to damage from electrostatic charge. Such a charge applied to the leads of the device could
cause irreparable damage.
These charges can be built up on nylon overalls, by friction, by pushing the hands into high insulation
packing material or by use of unearthed soldering irons.
MOS devices are normally despatched from the manufacturers with the leads shorted together, for
example, by metal foil eyelets, wire strapping, or by inserting the leads into conductive plastic foam.
Provided the leads are shorted it is safe to handle the device.

Manual amendment
Manual amendment
Changes to a manual that occur after the printing date are incorporated into the manual using either
Customer Documentation Change Notices (CDCNs) or General Manual Revisions (GMRs):
• Small changes are published in CDCNs. These describe the changes rather than replacing
large sections of the manual. They are sent directly to customers and Motorola Local Offices
and are accessible on the Motorola Extranet.
CDCNs are numbered in sequence using the format:
o Shortened manual order number
o Issue identifier
o CDCN number
For example: 01W23-M-CDCN01 would be the first CDCN produced for 68P2901W23-M.

incorporate CDCNs when the numbers applying to a particular manual become significant.
In this case, the CDCNs numbers are listed in the GMR amendment record.
GMRs are issued to correct Motorola manuals as and when required. A GMR has the same
identity as the target manual. Each GMR is identified by a number in a sequence that starts
at 01 for each manual at each issue.
GMR availability
GMRs are published as follows:
• Printed hard copy - Complete replacement content or loose leaf pages with amendment list.
o Remove and replace pages in this manual, as detailed on the GMR instruction sheet.
• Motorola service web - Updated at the same time as hard copies.
• CD-ROM - Updated periodically as required.
CDCN availability
CDCNs are published as follows:
• PDF distributed electronically - Description of changes, occasionally with replacement loose
leaf pages.
• Motorola service web - Updated at the same time as hard copies.

UBIU
The setting of KW34UBIU DIP switches determines the operational mode of the clock.
• Mode 1: When DIP switches 1 and 2 are set to ON, the KW34UBIU obtains 8 kHz clock
signal from the UFIU and sends it to the UEPI. The UEPI then drives the operation of the
H.110 clock bus.
• Mode 2: When DIP switch 1 is set to OFF and switch 2 is set to ON, the KW34UBIU
obtains 8 kHz clock signal from the UFIU and directly drives the operation of the H.110
clock bus.
• Mode 3: When DIP switches 1 and 2 are set to OFF, the KW34UBIU obtains 8 kHz clock
signal from the UCKI through the front panel. After performing phase-lock loop processing
and logical frequency division on the signal, the KW34UBIU directly drives the operation
of the H.110 clock bus.
• Mode 1 and Mode 2 are applicable for the KW34UBIU boards in the basic subrack
and extended subracks. Mode 3 applies to the KW34UBIU boards in the switching
subrack.
• The DIP switches 3 and 4 are reserved, and adopt default settings.
• The default state of the KW34UBIU DIP switches is ON.

UCDR
The Call Detail Record (UCDR) board implements functions such as collection, coding, transmission and
caching the Call Detail Record (CDR) for the C-SGSN.
The UCDR board has a sub-board and a back-board. The optical interface unit UFIU is mounted on the
UCDR to provide an ATM PVC channel from the UCDR to the UAIC sub-board in the PSM switching
subrack. The UBSU acts as the rear insertion board of the UCDR to hold the hard disk.
The number of UCDRs for the C-SGSN system configuration depends on the number of users. You must
configure the UCDR boards in pairs (one as active and the other as standby), in an even-number slot and
an odd-number slot respectively. The active or standby UCDRs provide heartbeat detection
communication using a 155 Mbit/s optical interface through the UAIC board in the PSM switching
subrack.
The UCDR does not directly connect with the bus; the URCU and UACU do not control the UCDR. The
UCDR uses only the physical slot and power supply in the PSM subrack. There is no direct
communication channel available between the UCDR and other boards except the UFIU and the UBSU.
Thus, the UCDR does not interact with other boards through the bus on the backplane.

UOMU
The Packet Service Operation and Maintenance Unit (UOMU) provides interfaces for the operation and
maintenance of the entire C-SGSN system.
You can configure the UOMU board with a sub-board and a back-board:
• The UFIU is installed on the UOMU to provide an ATM PVC from the UOMU to the sub-
board of the UAIC in the PSM switching subrack.
• The UFSU is installed at the rear of the UOMU board to bear the UOMU hard disk. It
converts the level for the external optical port, Ethernet port and serial port, and provides
physical ports.
You can configure the C-SGSN system with two UOMU boards: active UOMU and standby UOMU. The
active UOMU establishes heartbeat communications with the standby UOMU using the RS232 serial port
(through UFSUs) or a 155 Mbit/s optical interface (through the UAIC).
The UOMU board is neither connected to the bus in the subrack nor does it function under the hot-plug
control of the URCU or UACU. It uses only the physical slot and power supply in the PSM subrack. There
is no direct communication channel available between the UOMU and other boards except the UFIU and
the UFSU. Therefore, the UOMU board cannot interact with other boards through the bus on the
backplane.

WOTB
Functions
The WCDMA Overvoltage Protection Transfer Board (WOTB) is configured in the power distribution
box at the top of the C-SGSN cabinet. Serving as the backplane of the WOPB, it functions mainly as
interfaces.
Interface description
Considering the flow direction, the interfaces that the WOTB uses for connection with the external cables
are of two types: input interface and output interface.
As shown in Figure 27-6, the board has five power input cables that are led from the back of the power
distribution box, -48 V1, -48 V2, BGND1, BGND2 and PGND. They are fixed to the board connectors
using OT terminals.
• The -48 V1 and -48 V2 are connected to J5 and J6.
• The BGND1 and BGND2 are integrated and connected to J7.
• The PGND is connected to J8.
• The OT terminals must be selected based on the sectional area of the cable conductor and
the diameter of the fixing bolt.
The board has two output channels. One channel is connected to the power input interface of the WDMB
in the power distribution box and the other channel is connected to the signal input interface of the
WDMB. Both the channels are connected to the WOTB using 4PIN connector.
Using the 4 PIN socket connector J9, the WOTB sends the lightning protection fault signal (if any) to the
WDMB. Table 27-6 gives the details of the J9 connector.
