The SoftX3000 of V300R601C03 and later versions support both 750C and 750B boards. TheSoftX3000 of V300R003, V300R005, V300R006, V300R601C01, and V300R601C02 versionssupport only 750B boards.

NOTE

For details about 750B boards, see 4 Boards. For details about differences between 750C boards and 750Bboards, see 4.1.6 Differences Between Series Boards.

4.1.1 Classification of BoardsThis section describes the classification of boards.


4.1.3 Mechanical Structure of BoardsFor the SoftX3000, the mechanical structures of all boards are basically the same, whichfacilitates board removal and insertion.

4.1.4 Working Modes of BoardsBoards have three working modes: independent working mode, load-sharing working mode, andactive/standby working mode. Boards working in different modes are replaced in differentprocedures.

4.1.5 Switching Modes of BoardsThis section describes the automatic switchover and manual switchover of boards.

4.1.6 Differences Between Series BoardsThis section describes the differences between 750C boards and 750B boards.


FunctionsA board is the basic functional unit of the system. Boards co-work with each other to achievethe established functions.

Both the front boards and back boards of the SoftX3000 are inserted into the backplane in themiddle of a subrack.

The functions of the boards are as follows:

l Front boards: They are the service processing boards and management control boards.

l Back boards: They are the protocol processing boards and interface boards.

l Backplane: It provides a communication channel for other boards.

Issue 01 (2010-03-25)

All the SoftX3000 boards are hot swappable, except the HSCI and the SIUI. This means thatthe board is swappable while in operation. Some of the boards have a hot-swapping indicatorOFFLINE on the front panel and a hot-swapping switch on the ejector lever.

l When you insert a board into the subrack and restore the ejector lever, the hot-swappingswitch is closed.

l When you push open the ejector lever, the switch is open. Then the MBUS module of theboard sends a board-swapping request to the active SMUI in the subrack and terminates allservices on the board.

l When the hot-swapping indicator is on, you can unplug the board.

4.1.3 Mechanical Structure of BoardsFor the SoftX3000, the mechanical structures of all boards are basically the same, whichfacilitates board removal and insertion.

In the SoftX3000, all boards consist of a circuit card, connector, upper ejector lever, lower ejectorlever, fastening screws, locks, and positioning pins, as shown in Figure 4-2.

4.1.4 Working Modes of BoardsBoards have three working modes: independent working mode, load-sharing working mode, andactive/standby working mode. Boards working in different modes are replaced in differentprocedures.

Active/Standby Working ModeIf two boards work in the active-standby mode, the active board carries the service load and thestandby board backs up the data of the active board periodically. When the active board is faulty,the standby board takes over the load from the active board.

Before replacing a board, ensure that it is in the standby.

Load-Sharing ModeThe load-sharing mode is also called the resources pool mode. In this mode, a group of boardsof the same type are configured in a functional subrack and share the same tasks.

Normally, each board in the group shares 1/n (n >= 2; "n" refers to the number of boards in thegroup) of service load in their group. If you replace one board in a group, the system will transferthe service load taken by this board to other boards in the group. In case of heavy traffic, otherboards in this group may be overloaded, resulting in traffic congestion. Therefore, you mustreplace boards when the traffic is light, for example, at 2:00 a.m.



4-5

Independent Working Mode

In the independent working mode, a functional subrack is configured with only one board of aspecific type.

Replacing different boards may have different consequences. For example, replacing the ALUIdoes not affect the services of the system, so this operation is relatively safe. Replacing thebackplane, however, requires powering off the devices in the entire subrack. This will inevitablyaffect the system. In this case, you must contact Huawei technical support engineers for help.

NOTE

In adjunct working mode, sub-board replacement depends on the working mode of the board where thesub-board resides.

Table 4-2 shows the working modes and positions of the boards in the SoftX3000 servicesubracks.

NOTE

Hot-swapping indicates in-service removal and insertion of boards, that is, real-time removal and insertionof boards.

4.1.5 Switching Modes of BoardsThis section describes the automatic switchover and manual switchover of boards.

Automatic board switchover

When the software or hardware of an active board is faulty, the system automatically switchesover the services from the active board to the standby board.

Manual board switchover

During deployment, board replacement, board test, switchover test and troubleshooting, you arerequired to manually switch over boards through the LMT.

4.1.6 Differences Between Series BoardsThis section describes the differences between 750C boards and 750B boards.

Functions

750B boards and 750C boards can function as general service processing boards such as theFCCU, IFMI, BSGI, MSGI, CDBI, UACU, AGCU, and MRCA.

4.2.9 UPWRThis section describes the UPWR.

FunctionsNOTE

By default, a subrack houses three UPWRs, which work in 2+1 backup mode. Two UPWRs are front boardsinstalled in slots 17 and 18, and slots 19 and 20. The other UPWR is a back board installed in slots 19 and 20.In this case, back slots 17 and 18 are covered with filler panels.

The UPWR can be a front board or a back board. It provides power supply to all the other boardsin the subrack. Each UPWR occupies two slots—slots 17 and 18 in the front or 19 and 20 at theback. It has the following functions:

l Providing +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V, - 12 V DC power output.

l Supplying power for each board in the subrack.

5.4 BAM and iGWB (HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server)This section describes the BAM and iGWB (HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server).

FunctionsThe Back Administration Module (BAM) and iGWB servers are installed in the integratedconfiguration cabinet. They are built on the HP ProLiant DL380 G6 servers.

The BAM is the server of the operation and maintenance (O&M) system. It bridges the boardsof the host and the O&M system. The BAM forwards the O&M commands from O&M systemto the host, and sends the responses from the host to the O&M system. It also stores and transfersthe alarm and traffic measurement data. The BAM server is an HP ProLiant DL380 G6 serverwith two hot-plug SAS hard disks, which are configured with the RAID 1 error tolerancetechnique for data protection. RAID 1 employs the complete mirroring technique, that is, all thedata on a hard disk has a complete mirror on the other hard disk. If one hard disk fails, the controlprogram restores the lost data from the mirrored hard disk without affecting the operation of theserver.

The iGWB server is an intermediate billing device between the host and the billing center. Itreceives, preprocesses, and stores bills at a speed of 1700 CDRs per second. In addition, itprovides the billing interfaces. The iGWB servers are also built on HP ProLiant DL380 G6servers. They work in active/standby mode. Each iGWB server has five hot-plug SAS hard disks,which are configured with the RAID5 + Hot spare redundancy and error tolerance technique fordata protection.

NOTE

RAID 5 is a data storage method in which data, along with information used for error correction, isdistributed among two or more hard disk drives to improve the read/write performance. If one hard diskfails, the disk controller can restore the lost data from other running disks without affecting data availability.Compared with RAID 5, RAID 5 + Hot spare has a hot-spare backup disk and therefore it is more reliable.

FunctionsTable 8-6 lists the classification and function of the straight through cable.

Table 8-6 Classification and function of the straight through cable

Type Function

Straight through cablebetween LAN Switches

To ensure that LAN Switches work in the dual backup mode,the two S3528G LAN Switches in the integrated configurationcabinet need to be interconnected through three straightthrough cables. The straight through cable is used to transmitheartbeat detection signals so as to complete dual backup ofdata and ensure data security.

Straight through cablebetween iGWB/BAM andLAN Switch

The iGWB and the BAM are installed in the integratedconfiguration cabinet. Each server uses two straight throughcables to connect with the active and standby LAN Switches.

Straight through cablebetween the boards in theservice subrack and LANSwitch

The ports marked with 10/100BT6 at the uppermost positionof the active and standby HSCIs are connected to the activeand standby LAN Switches respectively with straight throughcables. This enables the communication between the boards inthe service subracks and BAM, and interconnection betweenthe service subracks.

Straight through cablebetween the MRS and LANSwitch

The communication between the iGWB/BAM, boards in theservice subrack and the MRS is implemented through the LANSwitch.

FE signal cable between theHSCI and the SIUI

The FE signal cable is a straight through cable, used to connectthe HSCI and the SIUI (back board of the SMUI).

Appearance of the Straight Through CableFigure 8-11 shows the appearance of a straight through cable. Both ends are shielded crystalconnectors. The category-5 shielded twisted pair is used as the cable material.

NOTE

Both the BAM and the EWS are connected to the LAN Switch through the straight through cables. This helpsthe EWS to back up data in the BAM periodically. In addition, when the BAM and iGWB are configuredseparately, you must lay two straight through cables between the EWS and the LAN Switches in advance. Whenthe BAM works normally, these two cables are disconnected from the LAN Switches. Once the BAM becomesfaulty, immediately connect these two cables with the active and standby LAN Switches respectively. Thisenables the EWS to resume the services of the BAM.
