9.1 Energy Saving

This topic describes energy saving modes of the equipment.

9.1.1 Static Power Saving

The following considerations are taken into account for Huawei OptiXtrans DC908:
● Simplified board design
● Improved chip technique to reduce power consumption
● Highly efficient secondary power modules
● Normalization of client–side 10G optical modules to SFP+ modules
● Normalization of client–side 100G optical modules to QSFP28 modules

9.1.2 Dynamic Power Saving

Users can perform power saving configurations on the NMS to precisely manage
power consumption. The NMS provides three power saving modes: normal mode,
power-saving mode, and enhanced power-saving mode. Table 9-1 describes the
power saving measures in each mode.

Power saving measures include:

● Idle board: Before logical boards are added, service boards automatically enter
the power saving state, and no power is applied to the boards.
● Idle port:
– Power saving is implemented by adding or deleting ports.
– When the logical port of a pluggable optical module is deleted, the laser
on this port is turned off automatically.

Heat dissipation is also an effective way to save power. Huawei OptiXtrans DC908
provides an adjustable fan speed mode and an auto fan speed mode. In auto
speed mode, the speeds of the fans in different partitions are adjusted separately
and steplessly according to the board temperature. The speed of the fans in the
low-temperature partition is automatically adjusted to a low level for power
saving. In adjustable speed mode, the fan speed can be set to any of the following
levels: low speed, mid-low speed, medium speed, mid-high speed, and high speed.
The fans in all fan tray assemblies rotate at the same speed and the speed of
individual fans cannot be adjusted.

9.1.3 Power Saving Control and Monitoring

The NMS enables users to control and monitor the status of power saving.

● It provides real-time query of nominal NE power consumption, current NE

power consumption, nominal subrack power consumption, current subrack
power consumption, nominal board power consumption, and current board
power consumption.
● It also provides a report of network-wide NE power consumption information,
such as the nominal power consumption, current power consumption, mean
power saved, and annual power saved of each NE.

9.2 Environmental Protection

Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 is designed to ensure sustainable development. All
parts and packaging comply with related standards for recycling.

● With regard to the packaging design, Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 undergoes a

necessary packaging process, and the size of the package containing the
equipment and accessories is at most three times that of the net equipment.
● The product is also designed for easy unpacking. For details about how to
unpack the equipment, see the associated manual. In addition, all hazardous
substances decompose easily.
● All single mechanical plastic parts over 25 g are labeled in compliance with
ISO 11469 and ISO 1043-1 to ISO 1043-4. All parts and packaging are labeled
according to the standards for recycling.
● Plugs and connectors are easy to locate and can be operated using simple
tools.
● Labels are easy to remove. Some identification information, such as silkscreen
marking, is printed on the front panel or subrack.
