Provides packet processing.

Function:- The FSBv4 is the only board within the system that contains a hard disk. It handles boot of other boards and shared disk input-output (IO) services for other boards. The disk storage within an FSBv4 provides a secure redundant storage if the FSBv4 is in pair with another FSB. The FSBv4 can have the following roles: Primary FSB. The primary FSB is the master central processing unit (CPU) that receives and executes shared disk IO operations. All data stored on the primary FSB is mirrored to the secondary FSB directly when receiving IO operations. Secondary FSB. This Plug-In Unit (PIU) is a hot standby to the primary FSB. The secondary FSB is always able to take over if the primary FSB fails.

Power Distribution Unit (PDU) 14 x 15A

The Power and Distribution Unit (PDU) is used for supplying power to the equipment in a MkVI and MkVI+ magazine. The PDU version described in this document has 14 x 15A outputs, with product number BMG 980 347/2. For redundancy reason, there are always two PDUs working in pair in an SGSN-MME. For the procedure on how to replace a PDU unit, see Replacing a PDU. An overview of the PDU is shown in Figure 1.

Description
The purpose of the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is to distribute input voltage to several outputs and to limit the current on the outputs. This ensures that a short-circuit on one output does not cause a large voltage drop on the other outputs. The PDU is connected to ground by the 0 V DC (-48 V DC return) conductor. Each power output is supplied with a power connector, a power ON and OFF toggle switch, and a red LED indicating a tripped fuse.
