2.2 Spare Part Preparations
This section describes the spare parts required for BSC6900 site maintenance. These spare parts
must be placed in the equipment room or at nearby places for easy access.
Spare Parts Selection Criteria
The principles for preparing the BSC6900 spare parts are as follows:
l When a board that works in independent mode is faulty, the board fault disrupts the services
carried on the board. Therefore, the priority to prepare a spare board for a board of this type
is high.
l When a board that works in resource pool mode is faulty, the board fault does not disrupt
the services, but only deteriorates the performance of the system in certain aspects.
Therefore, the priority to prepare a spare board for a board of this type is medium.
BSC6900 GSM
Issue 05 (2011-05-19)
l The filler panel is used for cabinet encapsulation and ventilation. It also ensures the
electromagnetic shielding and neatness of the cabinet. Therefore, the priority to prepare a
spare filler panel is medium.
l When a board that works in active/standby mode is faulty, the board fault does not affect
the services because the system automatically switches over the active and standby boards.
Therefore, the priority to prepare a spare board for a board of this type is low.
Recommended Spare Parts List
Table 2-2 describes the recommended BSC6900 spare parts.

10.1 DIP Switch on the Subrack
The DIP switch on a subrack is used to set the number of the subrack.
10.2 DIP Switches on the EIUa Board
The EIUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S1, S3, S4, S5, and S6.
10.3 DIP Switch on the MDMC Board
The MDMC board provides an S2 DIP switch.
10.4 DIP Switch on the PAMU Board
The PAMU provides an SW1 DIP switch.
10.5 DIP Switches on the PEUa Board
The PEUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10.
10.6 DIP Switch on the PFCU Board
The PFCU board has one DIP switch, which is named SW1 and consists of four bits. The DIP
switch is used to set the address of the PFCU board. When the PFCU board is configured in a
fan box of the service subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 1. When the PFCU board
is configured in the independent fan subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 4.
10.7 Pins on the PFCB Board
The PFCB board provides eight pairs of pins for jumpers. After being connected to jumpers,
these pins are used to set the address and working mode of the PFCB board. The settings of these
pins depend on the installation position of the PFCB 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 10-1 describes the bits.
BSC6900 GSM
Issue 05 (2011-05-19)
Table 10-1 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
bit)
Reserved

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. Note that the setting of bit 8 remains unchanged.
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 10-2 describes the setting of the DIP switch in the case.

NOTE
l When the 75-ohm coaxial cable is used, the signal transmission uses the E1 unbalanced mode. In this
case, the TX end is grounded, that is, the corresponding bit of the DIP switch is set to ON.
l When the 120-ohm twisted pair cable is used, the signal transmission uses the E1(T1) balanced mode.
In this case, the TX end is not grounded, that is, the corresponding bit of the DIP switch is set to OFF.
l All DIP switches of the EIUa board are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is faced to
and combined with the bottom plate, and so the DIP switches are hidden in between.
Table 10-3 describes the DIP switches on the EIUa board.

BSC6900 GSM
Issue 05 (2011-05-19)
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 10-5, 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 10-5 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 PEUa 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.
DIP switches S2, S4, S6, and S8 on the PEUa board are used to enable or disable the grounding
of 0 to 31 E1s/T1s/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 10-7 describes S2, S4, S6,
S8, and S10.

10.6 DIP Switch on the PFCU Board
The PFCU board has one DIP switch, which is named SW1 and consists of four bits. The DIP
switch is used to set the address of the PFCU board. When the PFCU board is configured in a
fan box of the service subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 1. When the PFCU board
is configured in the independent fan subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 4.
