NSP 6.1 Hardware Description

1/1551-APR 901 0461/1 Uen M | 2016-04-19

1 Introduction

TSP hardware is called NSP while TSP refers to the complete system, both hardware and software. This document describes NSP 6.1.

NSP 6.1 is based on the Ericsson Blade System (EBS) by using the same concept, terminology, and the HW components, such as cabinets, subracks, switch boards, and processor boards.

NSP 6.1 uses the following components:

• Core components of EBS

• Own node level HW management in TSP (no DMX support)

Introduction

• Only SCXB2/SCXB3 in subrack interconnection (no CMX support and no Cabinet Aggregation Switch (CAX) support)

Note: The mixing of SCXB2 and SCXB3 boards in NSP 6.1 subrack is

only supported during hardware upgrade.

For more info on EBS, refer to Ericsson Blade System (EBS) Libraries.

2 Hardware Structure

The NSP 6.1 consists of one BYB 501 cabinet, equipped with up to three Evolved Generic Ericsson Magazine 2 (EGEM2) subracks. It has the dimensions of 1800 × 600 × 400 mm (H × W × D). The doors can be locked. Mounting kits for high earthquake risk areas are available.

A number of processors are inserted in each subrack. Up to three subracks can be installed in a BYB 501 cabinet.

Note: From TSP 7100 release, NSP 6.1 cabinets are delivered with

pre-installed Power Termination Module (PTM) supporting Low Ohmic power Distribution (LOD) for Power and Fan Modules (PFMs).

Hardware Structure

An example of a fully equipped NSP 6.1 node is shown in Figure 1.

The configuration of NSP 6 nodes is defined in product packages. No fixed configurations are defined as platform configurations. The configurations that are shown in this document are examples only.

The cabinets are designed for installation in indoor locations in telecommunications centers.

The signaling interfaces of the system are designed for connection to other indoor equipment. The system must not be directly connected to any outside plant (OSP) cabling .

Note: A node consists of one, two or three subracks. If a node has more than

one subrack, these can be located in the same cabinet or in different cabinets. It is also possible to locate more than one TSP node in the same cabinet. This configuration is called cohabitation. For more information see Section 4.2 on page 43.

2.1 Product Identification

All products are marked with product identification labels. The labels have two parts, one giving the information in plain text and the other giving the same information in two types of bar code: PDF 417 code and Code 128. Refer to Identifying NSP 6 Hardware for more information. The product identification information for plug-in units can also be retrieved electronically when the system is operating.

2.2 Subracks

The EGEM2, BFD 538 002/1, is used in NSP 6.1.

Figure 3 shows the EGEM2 subrack.

Figure 3 EGEM2 Subrack with its Address Plugs

The main switch board used in the EGEM2 is called SCXB2 or SCXB3, based on the board type the NSP hardware is equipped with, see Section 2.3 on page 6 for more information.

In its basic configuration, apart from the two 15 mm width SCXB2 or SCXB3 plug-in units and the two 15 mm width dummy units, an EGEM2 can house up to 12 plug-in units of 30 mm width. The plug-in units have the form factor of 265 × 225 mm. From the EGEM2 backplane, all plug-in units are provided with dual –48 V

power supplies, duplicated 1000 Mb/s Ethernet connections, and

DC

Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) connections.

The subrack address is created by three address plugs at the left side of EGEM2. The address can be read from all plug-in unit slots. The plugs are inserted at the factory.

All plug-in units support hot-swapping.

Each EGEM2 subrack is equipped with two Power and Fan Modules (PFMs) that provide cooling and power for the plug-in units in the subrack.

2.3 Ethernet Switching

The processors in an NSP 6.1 are interconnected by means of a duplicated Ethernet based LAN. The interprocessor network is implemented as a duplicated switched Ethernet.

6

1/1551-APR 901 0461/1 Uen M | 2016-04-19

The subracks are connected in cascade, see Figure 2, and can be equipped with SCXB2/SCXB3 types of system control switch boards.

Note: The mixing of SCXB2 and SCXB3 boards in NSP 6.1 subrack is only

2.3.1 SCXB2

There is only one level of Ethernet switching but two different bandwidths are used:

• Subrack internal links have a bandwidth of 1 Gb/s.

• Intersubrack links have 10 Gb/s bandwidth.

The SCXB2 switch, ROJ 208 386/2, is used for Ethernet switching in the EGEM2 subracks in NSP 6.1. The SCXB2 switch is shown in Figure 4.

supported during hardware upgrade.

The SCXB2 is fed with –48V from the backplane.
