3 Hardware Check

3 Hardware Check

This chapter describes how to check the BSC configuration and HTS of theboards inside the BSC.

3BK 17416 3001 RJZZA Ed.03 21 / 61

3 Hardware Check

Purpose

To check that the BSC configuration corresponds to the customer’s order.

To verify that the hardware level of the boards inside BSC is as requested

by the customer, by taking the rack inventory.

Procedure 1. Verify the presence and position of the boards according to the requestedconfiguration.

See Information Required

See Hardware Description - Racks Configuration

2. Perform the rack inventory.

Refer to CI-08 Site Equipment Inventory.

Check that there are no alarms of type “NOT IN CAL”, when runningInventar for BTS. This ensures that the boards inside the BSC meet therequirements of a specific customer.

3BK 17416 3001 RJZZA Ed.03 23 / 61


4.1 Check the Rating of the Fuses

Procedure 1. On the customer power panel (cabinet), check for the existence of two DCpower supply distribution circuits. Each distribution circuit is provided with aDC circuit breaker (fuse holder).

2. On the site power panel, disconnect the two -48V power supply lines (line Aand B) at the rack fuse holders.

3. Check that the fuse ratings are in accordance with the SPP— 27 document.

4.2 Discharge the Capacitors in the Racks

Procedure 1. At the customer power panel, make sure the two -48 V power supply linesfor BSC are disconnected.

2. Close (ON position) all the rack (and extension rack if applicable) circuitbreakers for 10 seconds.

4.3 Check the Polarity of the Power Supply Line, Branch A

Procedure 1. At the BSC top rack filter units for each rack (basic rack and extension racksif applicable) remove the protection caps from the power supply terminals.

2. Connect the -48 V power supply (branch A) at the fuseholder.

Branch A is connected.

Branch A is associated with the fuseholder marked BAT A.

3. Using the multimeter, check the presence of -48V DC between BAT A andBATRET for all racks (basic and extensions).

Check that no voltage is present between BAT B and BATRET for all racks.

4. Switch all the rack circuit breakers ON.

The DC/DC converters A01-A09 for all racks are powered up.

The DC/DC converters B71-B78 for all racks are not powered up.

NOTE : Converters B72 and B78 are removed starting from rack variant3BK 06796 AAAC.

5. Switch all the rack circuit breakers OFF.

No board in the racks is powered up.

6. At the customer power panel, disconnect the -48 V power supply (branch A)at the fuseholder.

Branch A is disconnected.

4.4 Check the Polarity of the Power Supply Line, Branch B

Procedure 1. Discharge the capacitors in the rack.

See Discharge the Capacitors in the Racks (Section 4.2)

2. At the BSC top rack filter units for each rack (basic rack and extension racksif applicable) remove the protection caps from the power supply terminals.

3. Connect the -48 V power supply (branch B) at the fuseholder.

24 / 61 3BK 17416 3001 RJZZA Ed.03


Branch B is connected.

Branch B is associated with the fuseholder marked BAT B.

4. Using the multimeter, check the presence of -48V DC between BAT B andBATRET for all racks (basic and extensions).

Check that no voltage is present between BAT A and BATRET for all racks.

5. Switch all the rack circuit breakers ON.

The DC/DC converters B71-B78 for all racks are powered up.

The DC/DC converters A01-A09 for all racks are not powered up.

NOTE : Converters B72 and B78 are removed starting from rack variant3BK 06796 AAAC.

6. Switch all the rack circuit breakers OFF.

No board in the racks is powered up.

7. At the customer power panel, disconnect the -48 V power supply (branch B)at the fuseholder.

Then enter the following:

Object class: > SBL

Unit Type: > BSC

Unit Number: > 1

SBL Type: > ATR

Nbr: > A trunk number

(corresponding to the number of the A trunk connected to the MSC orlooped at the TC)

SbNbr: > 255

5. Click [ OK ]

6. Check that the ATR SBL is “in traffic” in the report window.

7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 for all the A trunks that are connected to the MSC(corresponding to the AterMux PCMs connected to the TC).
