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.

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.

8.2.6 Serial Port Cable for Monitoring the PDBThis section describes the serial port cable for monitoring the PDB.
FunctionsThe SMUI in a subrack is responsible for monitoring the signals of a PDB. On the monitor boardof the PDB, there are two RS485 serial ports serving as the active and the standby power monitorports that are connected to the active and the standby monitor ports of the SIUI of the servicesubrack through the serial port cables. The monitor signals of the PDB are sent over the cablesto the BAM. Each cabinet is connected to two serial port cables for monitoring.
Appearance of the Serial Port Cable for Monitoring the PDBBoth ends of a monitor cable are shielded crystal connectors with fasteners for firm connection.The cable is made of the category-5 shielded twisted pair. Figure 8-17 shows the appearance ofthe cable.

A dividing line on a label helps specify more clearly the position of a cable. For example, adividing line lies between a cabinet number and a subrack number, and another one between thesubrack number and a slot number. A dividing line is 1.5 mm x 0.6 mm in size, with the colorof Pantone 656c (light blue).
A cut dotted line helps fold a label when sticking the label. The line is 1.0 mm x 2.0 mm in size.
NOTE
There is a mark TO: (upside down in the figure) at the lower right corner of the label. The mark is used to identifythe opposite end of the cable on which the label is affixed.
Power Cable LabelsA power cable label is symmetric on both sides. It is stuck on the middle area of the identificationplate on a cable tie. Around the label is an embossment (0.2 mm x 0.6 mm). Figure 9-2 showsthe label paper for power cables.
