DO NOT SHARE THESE DOCS WITH CUSTOMERS!
This is an LA release that will only be provided to a select number of PLM-sanctioned customers (PDFs only). Contact PLM for details.
Ribbon provides replacement units to the customer, who then performs the installation for these replacement units. For CRU information and replacement instructions, refer to SBC 5000 Series CRUs.
In this section:
The SBC 51xx and SBC 52xx platforms are not supported from release 11.0.0 onwards. This release supports the SBC 5400, SBC 7000 and SBC SWe platforms.
Equipment Requirement | Description |
---|---|
Fan Assembly | Three cooling fan assemblies located behind the front bezel. |
Solid State Drive | Solid State Disk (SSD) storage located behind the front bezel. |
Air Filter | Located within the front bezel assembly, filters the cooling air. |
SFP | Single or Multi mode fiber transceivers and Copper SFPs (which functions like a plug) used for Gigabit Ethernet connections |
Bezel | Secures replaceable air filter to front of chassis and identifies LED status indicators. |
DSP20 | Signal Processing Cards (plug-in module with a low capacity DSP card). |
DSP25 | DSP25 Signal Processing Cards (plug-in module with a high capacity DSP card). |
Power Supply | Up to two DC or two AC power supply modules accessible from the rear of the chassis. Caution
Switching to a different power supply voltage type (AC to DC, or DC to AC) requires that the system be powered down first. |
This is the second generation Signal Processing Server (SPS) for SBC 5000 series and provides increased signal processing capabilities over the earlier SPS100 card by incorporating the latest DSP technology. It is an add-on module that can connect to SBS100 motherboard through a 150-pin connector.
The DSP2x cards contain the actual DSP processing resources. There are two DSP2x module variants supported: DSP20 and DSP25. SBC 5110 has four slots which provides maximum capacity. The cards are hot swappable and installable/replaceable in the field. The DSP20 has 1/5 the density of the DSP25. While inserting DSP25 cards, fill the slots in order - slot 1, 2, 3, 4.
For more information on DSP2x module, refer CRU documents SBC 5x10 DSP20 Module and SBC 5x10 DSP25 Module. For more information on DSP Channel densities for each SBC 5x10 series, refer to SBC 5x10 DSP Densities.
Only one DSP20 is allowed in SBC 5x10 chassis, and it must reside in slot 1.
Mixing DSP20 and DSP25 cards (both within a chassis and between Active/Standby servers) is not supported. For example, if SBCa contains DSP25 in slots 1-3, SBCb should have a DSP25 in slots 1-3. As another example, if SBCa has a DSP20 in slot 1, SBCb should not have anything other than a DSP20 in slot1.
The DSP2x module includes a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) that may occasionally require reprogramming. The reprogramming is fully autonomous and occurs during system reboot process. The only noticeable effect to the system is a slight increase to the duration of the system reboot. For each DSP2x installed, expect an additional 1-2 minutes added to the length of a normal reboot process.
Log messages pertaining to FPGA reprogramming are stored in the following files:
