About This Chapter
Components of the cabinet involve the power distribution box, air defence subrack, rear cable
trough, subrack, independent fan subrack, rack.
4.1 Power Distribution Box

A power distribution box is installed inside each cabinet at the top.
4.2 Air Defence Subrack
The air defence subrack is installed between two subracks. It is used to form a straight-through
air channel. The air defence subrack is 1 U in height.
4.3 Rear Cable Trough
The rear cable trough is used for routing and binding of the cables of rear boards. Each rear cable
trough has three fiber management trays installed at the bottom to coil the optical cables.
4.4 Independent Fan Subrack
Besides the fan boxes configured in subracks, the N68E-22 cabinet also has an independent fan
subrack configured at the bottom of the cabinet to improve the reliability of heat dissipation.

BSC6900 UMTS
4.1 Power Distribution Box

A power distribution box is installed inside each cabinet at the top.
The power distribution box provides lightning protection and power surge protection for the four
-48 V inputs and supplies two groups of power to the components in the cabinet. Each group
has four -48 V outputs and four RTN outputs. The power distribution box also detects the status
of input voltage and the output power, and generates audible and visual alarms when faults occur.
4.1.1 Front Panel of the Power Distribution Box

The components on the front panel of the power distribution box are the panel of the Power
Allocation Monitoring Unit (PAMU) and the power switches.
Figure 4-1 shows the front panel of the power distribution box.
Figure 4-1 Front panel of the power distribution box

(4) Mute switch (5) Power switches (6) Labels for power switches
NOTE
l For details about the PAMU board, see 6.14 PAMU Board.
l When the power distribution box is reset, the RUN and ALM LEDs turn on at the same time,
indicating that the PAMU board is performing self-check. As soon as the self-check is complete, the
RUN and ALM LEDs turn off. Then, the RUN and ALM LEDs display the operating status of the
power distribution box.
The mute switch is set to determine whether an audible alarm is generated.
l If you set the mute switch to I, the power distribution box generates an audible alarm when
it is faulty.
l If you set the mute switch to O, the power distribution box does not generate any audible
alarm when it is faulty.
The front panel of the power distribution box has two LEDs: RUN and ALM.
Table 4-1 describes the LEDs on the front panel of the power distribution box.

in the subrack run at full speed for a short period. This is the normal condition during system startup.
5.4 Slots in the Subrack

The backplane is positioned in the center of the subrack, and the boards are installed on the front
and rear sides of the backplane. Each slot provides a different switching bandwidth. Check the
bandwidth of the slot before installing a board. A board must be installed in a slot with enough
bandwidth.
Structure of the Subrack

Figure 5-3 shows the structure of the subrack.
Figure 5-3 Structure of the subrack
(1) Front slot (2) Backplane (3) Rear slot
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 neighboring slots, such as slot 00 and slot 01 or slot 02 and slot 03, can be configured as a pair
of active/standby slots. A pair of active and standby boards must be installed in a pair of active and
standby slots. For example, if slot 00 is configured with the SPUa board, then slot 01 must be configured
with the SPUa board and slot 01 cannot be configured with the SPUb board.
l Different types of boards can be installed in all slots other than active/standby slots. For example, if
slot 00 and slot 01 are configured with SPUa boards, slot 02 and slot 03 can be configured with
SPUb boards.
l If the boards are in resource pool mode, then they can be installed in active/standby slots. For example,
if slot 08 is configured with the DPUb board, slot 09 can be configured with the DPUe board.

Description about the DIP Switch

The DIP switch on the subrack has eight bits numbered in ascending order from 1 to 8. The
higher the bit is, the more significant it is. Table 5-4 describes the bits.
Table 5-4 Description about the bits

Bit Description
1-5 Bits 1 to 5 are used for setting the subrack number. Bit 1 is the
least significant bit. If the bit is set to ON, it indicates 0. If the bit
is set to OFF, it indicates 1.
6 Odd parity check bit
7 Reserved, undefined, generally set to ON

BSC6900 UMTS
Bit Description
8 (the most significant Startup type of the subrack, generally set to OFF
bit)
Principle of the DIP Switch Setting

As the DIP switch uses odd parity check, the number of 1s in the eight bits must be an odd
number. The method for setting the bits is as follows:
1. Set bit 1 to bit 5 as required.
2. Set bit 7 to ON.
3. Set bit 8 to OFF.
4. Check the number of 1s in the seven bits of the DIP switch.
l If the number of 1s is even, set bit 6 to OFF.
l If the number of 1s is odd, set bit 6 to ON.

Layout of the DIP Switches

Figure 6-2 shows the layout of the DIP switches on the AEUa board.

BSC6900 UMTS
Figure 6-2 Layout of the DIP switches on the AEUa board
(1) Sub-board (2) Bottom plate

BSC6900 UMTS
NOTE
l All DIP switches are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is combined with the bottom
plate, so the DIP switches are not exposed.
l DIP switches S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10 are set from the side. As shown in Figure 6-2, there are two
square holes between DIP switches, one between S2 and S4, and the other between S8 and S6. Through
the two holes, you can set S2, S4, S8, and S6. DIP switch S10 is located in the right corner of the sub-
board, and thus you can set S10 along the side. The direction of the arrow in Figure 6-2 is to turn
inwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, or S8 to ON, turn them inwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, or
S8 to OFF, turn them outwards. To set the bits of S10 to ON, turn them outwards. To set the bits of
S10 to OFF, turn them inwards.
l You can also run the SET E1T1 command on the LMT to set S10. If there is any inconsistency between
the physical setting of S10 on the AEUa board and the setting of S10 by command, take the setting by
command as the criterion. By default, the working mode of S10 is set to E1. You can also run the SET
E1T1 command on the LMT to change the working mode of S10 from E1 mode to E1 balanced mode,
E1 unbalanced mode, or T1 mode. When you run the SET E1T1 command to set the support for
balanced and unbalanced modes parameter to No and set the working mode of S10 to E1, you must
also manually set the bits of S10 to set the working mode of S10 to E1 balanced mode or E1 unbalanced
mode.
l If signals are transmitted in E1 unbalanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 75-ohm coaxial
cable and the TX end of the cable is grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to ON. If signals
are transmitted in E1(T1) balanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 120-ohm twisted pair
cable and the TX end of the cable is not grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to OFF.
Description of the DIP Switches

DIP switches S2, S4, S6, and S8 on the AEUa board are used to enable or disable the grounding
of 0 to 31 E1s/T1/J1s at the TX end. DIP switch S10 is used to set the working mode to E1
balanced mode, E1 unbalanced mode, T1 mode, or J1 mode. Table 6-4 describes S2, S4, S6,
S8, and S10.

combiner.
The optical splitter/combiner cannot be used to solve any of the following problems:
l The active and standby optical ports on BSC6900 interface boards are operational. When the
transmission on the TX optical fiber for the active optical port is interrupted, the BSC6900
reports a Multiplex Section (MS) Remote Defect Indication (RDI) alarm on the active and
standby optical ports. An automatic switchover, however, is not triggered between the active
and standby optical ports.
l The active and standby optical ports on BSC6900 interface boards are operational. The
transmission is interrupted on the optical fiber between the optical splitter/combiner and the
TX port on the peer equipment, and the BSC6900 reports a MS RDI alarm on the active and
standby optical ports. An automatic switchover, however, is not triggered between the active
and standby optical ports.
l The active and standby optical ports on BSC6900 interface boards are operational. The

Location of the DIP Switch

The DIP switch is located on the lower back of the subrack. For details on the location of the
DIP switch, see 5.2 Components of the Subrack.
Appearance
Figure 9-1 shows the cover plate for the DIP switch on the subrack.
Figure 9-1 Cover plate for the DIP switch on the subrack
Description about the DIP Switch

The DIP switch on the subrack has eight bits numbered in ascending order from 1 to 8. The
higher the bit is, the more significant it is. Table 9-1 describes the bits.

BSC6900 UMTS
Table 9-1 Description about the bits
Bit Description
1-5 Bits 1 to 5 are used for setting the subrack number. Bit 1 is the
least significant bit. If the bit is set to ON, it indicates 0. If the bit
is set to OFF, it indicates 1.
6 Odd parity check bit
7 Reserved, undefined, generally set to ON
8 (the most significant Startup type of the subrack, generally set to OFF
bit)
Principle of the DIP Switch Setting

As the DIP switch uses odd parity check, the number of 1s in the eight bits must be an odd
number. The method for setting the bits is as follows:
1. Set bit 1 to bit 5 as required.
2. Set bit 7 to ON.
3. Set bit 8 to OFF.
4. Check the number of 1s in the seven bits of the DIP switch.
l If the number of 1s is even, set bit 6 to OFF.
l If the number of 1s is odd, set bit 6 to ON.
Table 9-2 describes the setting of the DIP switch in the case.
