7.12.4 Scenario: Replacing an OMUa Board with an OMUc Board

This section describes how to replace an OMUa board with an OMUc board.
Context
l
Replacing an OMU board will disconnect the OMU board from the host boards. System
operation data during this period will lose.
In this scenario, the operating system (OS) of the OMUc board is Dopra Linux OS after
the replacement no matter which OS is used by the board to be replaced because the OMUc
board can only support Dopra Linux OS.
When an OMUa board in single-OMU mode is damaged, two OMUc boards are
recommended to replace the OMUa board.
OMUc boards can be used to replace OMUa boards. The replacement scenarios are as follows:

This section describes how to replace two OMUa boards with two OMUc boards.
Prerequisites

115
BSC6900 UMTS
Two new OMUc boards are ready.
Context
Co-Existence of OMU Boards
l
Short-term co-existence of OMU boards is supported. When an OMUc board is used to

replace an OMUa board, the OMUc board and the OMUa board can be inserted into the
slots and co-exist for a short period, so that data can be transferred from the OMUa board
to the OMUc board.
Long-term co-existence of OMU boards in slots is not supported because the active and
standby OMU boards must be of the same type for commercial delivery in existing network.
For example, both active and standby OMU boards must be OMUa boards or OMUc boards.
CAUTION
Procedure
Step 1 Run the DSP OMU command to query information about the OMU and record the queried
information in Records of the OMU Application Installation Information.
Record Sheet of OMU Software Installation Information of the OMU board to be replaced
records the following information:
l Administrator password
l Password of system administrator admin
l Password of FTP user FtpUsr
l External fixed IP address, external virtual IP address, internal fixed IP address, internal virtual
IP address, debugging IP address, and backup channel IP address of the OMU board
NOTE
This document uses the OMUa board as an example.
Step 2 Stop the omud process on the standby OMU board and shut down the OMU operating system
(OS).
1.
Log in to the standby OMU. For detailed operations, see Logging in to the OMU in the
BSC6900 UMTS OMU Administration Guide.
2.
Run the /etc/rc.d/omud stop command to stop the omud process.
3.
Run the poweroff command to shut down the OMU OS.
Step 3 Run the RMV BRD command to remove two OMUa boards.
Step 4 Run the ADD BRD command to add an OMUc board in the slot where the removed standby
OMU board originally resides, that is, the slot marked green in Figure 7-12.
Issue 06 (2013-05-29)

116
BSC6900 UMTS
Step 5 Remove the standby OMU board. For detailed operations, see Replacing an OMU board that
is configured with new ejector levers or Replacing an OMU board that is configured with
old ejector levers.
Step 6 Install the first OMUc board in the active and standby slots of the OMUa board. These slots are
the green slots shown in Figure 7-12.
The OMUa board is twice the thickness of other OMU boards. Two OMUa boards are installed
in the slots in blue, yellow, and red frames, as shown in Figure 7-12. Between two adjacent
OMUa boards, one is active and the other is standby.
The first OMUc board used for replacement must be installed in the green slots in the blue,
yellow, and red frames.
Example 1: Two OMUa boards are installed in the slots 20 through 23 before replacement. Slots
20 and 21 house the active OMUa board. Slot 22 and slot 23 are for the standby OMUa board.
Perform the following operations to replace OMU boards:
1.
Remove the OMUa board installed in slots 22 and 23.
2.
Install the first OMUc board in slot 23.
Example 2: Two OMUa boards are installed in the slots 20 through 23 before replacement. Slot
20s and 21 house the standby OMUa board. Slots 22 and 23 house the active OMUa board.
Perform the following operations to replace OMU boards:

For example, both active and standby OMU boards must be OMUa boards or OMUc boards.
Two solutions can be adopted for the OMU replacement in terms of synchronizing data during
the replacement:
l
Solution 1: When slots beside the OMUa board in single-OMU mode are empty and
available, the OMUa board can be replaced by the OMUc board through short-term coexistence of OMU boards.
Solution 2: When slots beside the OMUa board in single-OMU mode are not empty and
available, the data of the OMUa board can be copied onto the OMUc board to complete
replacement.

installed in the slots in blue, yellow, and red frames, as shown in Figure 7-14. Between
two adjacent OMUa boards, one is active and the other is standby.
The first OMUc board used for replacement must be installed in the green slots in the blue,
yellow, and red frames.
Example 1: An OMUa board is installed in the slots 20 and 21 before replacement.
Replacing operations are as follows:

BSC6900 UMTS
Context
l
Replace both the active and standby boards only when they are both faulty. Otherwise,
perform the operations described in 7.12.3 Scenario: Replacing the Standby OMU in
Dual-System Mode. If OMUc boards are used instead of OMUa boards, see Scenario:
Replacing Two OMUa Boards with Two OMUc Boards.
The new OMUs can use the same operating system as the OMUs to be replaced or another
operating system, but the active and standby OMUs must use the same operating system.
The new OMUs must be of the same type as the OMUs to be replaced.
When the new OMU board runs a different OS from that of the OMU board to be replaced,
it is recommended that you switch the OS of the new OMU board to that of the old OMU
board. This takes care of the user operation habit.

7.12.6 Common Operation for Replacing OMU Board

This section describes the common operation after replacing OMU board, including querying
the OMU working status, modifying the name of the OMU, setting the time information of the
OMU, and setting the mode of the network adapter.
Procedure
Step 1 Optional: When the OMU runs the Dopra Linux operating system, set the OMU status to the
same status as that before the replacement based on the result recorded in Step 1 and Step 2.
For details, see Disabling OMU route forwarding and Disabling root user remote login.

The backup power cable is ready.
Context
CAUTION
wear ESD gloves.
l Replacing the power cable between the PDF and the power distribution box may affect the
system operation. If the single-input external power is supplied, the replacement causes the
system to power off, therefore disrupting the services carried on the system. If the dual-input
external power is supplied, the replacement does not affect the system operation, but triggers
a power failure alarm.
l Replacing the power cable between the power distribution box and the subrack may affect
the system operation. If the single-input power is supplied, the replacement causes the
subrack to power off, therefore disrupting the services of the subrack. If the dual-input power
is supplied, the replacement does not affect the system operation.
l Replacing the power cable between the power distribution box and the independent fan
subrack may affect the system operation. If the single-input power is supplied, the
replacement causes the independent fan subrack to power off, therefore disrupting the
services of the independent fan subrack. If the dual-input power is supplied, the replacement
does not affect the system operation.
l Before replacing a power cable, check the power supply mode (for example, single input or
dual input) of the power cable. In the case of single input, be well prepared for the possible
service interruption.
Lay power cables or install power cables by referring to Installing the Power Cables and PGND
Cables.
Procedure
Step 1 Check the quantity, length, and type of the -48 V power cables and GND cables to be replaced.

DIP Switches on Components
About This Chapter

This chapter describes the DIP switches on the boards and subracks of the BSC6900.
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 AEUa Board
The AEUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10.
10.3 DIP Switches on the AOUa Board
The AOUa board provides two DIP switches, both of which are labeled S1. The two DIP switches
are used to set the mode of the two STM-1/OC-3 optical ports.
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.

10.1 DIP Switch on the Subrack

The DIP switch on a subrack is used to set the number of the subrack.
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 Components of the Subrack.
Appearance
Figure 10-1 shows the cover plate for the DIP switch on the subrack.
Figure 10-1 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 10-1 describes the bits.
Issue 06 (2013-05-29)

231
BSC6900 UMTS
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.
Odd parity check bit
Reserved, undefined, generally set to ON

bit)
Startup type of the subrack, the default value is OFF.

NOTE
l For the inventory sites upgrading from BSC6810 to BSC6900, keep
the former settings.
l For the new sites in BSC6900, the bit is conservative and is fixed to
OFF.
CAUTION
l You must set the DIP switch before powering on the subrack. The setting after the poweron is invalid.
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 10-2 describes the setting of the DIP switch in the case.

10.2 DIP Switches on the AEUa Board

The AEUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10.
Layout of the DIP Switches

Figure 10-2 shows the layout of the DIP switches on the AEUa board.

Issue 06 (2013-05-29)
(2) Bottom plate

234
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 10-2, 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 subboard, and thus you can set S10 along the side. The direction of the arrow in Figure 10-2 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 10-3 describes S2, S4, S6,
S8, and S10.

10.4 DIP Switch on the PAMU Board

The PAMU provides an SW1 DIP switch.
Figure 10-4 shows the layout of the DIP switch on the PAMU board.
Figure 10-4 Layout of the DIP switch on the PAMU board
With four bits, the DIP switch SW1 is used to set the address of the PAMU board.
To set the address, first remove the PAMU board and then set the SW1 as described in Table
10-5.

10.5 DIP Switches on the PEUa Board

The PEUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10.
Figure 10-5 shows the layout of the DIP switches on the PEUa board.

(1) Sub-board
Issue 06 (2013-05-29)
(2) Bottom plate

239
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 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 subboard, and therefore 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 10-6 describes the DIP
switches on the PEUa board.

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.
