The bottom two slots have dedicated functions: the System Controller Card (SCC7000) module and Core Server Card (CSC7000) module. The SCC slot (bottom slot) contains the SCC module used for chassis management and Processing (also known as BMC Baseboard Management Controller). The slot 0 (above SCC slot) contains the CSC module used for Control and Data plane processing. The top 4 slots (1-4) are used for optional specialized hardware modules, the first released module being the DSP-LC high capacity transcoding resource module. The CSC7000 and SCC7000 cards, monitor and control the chassis environment and operation.

The table below lists the
SBC 7000 Chassis LEDs
Illustration | LED | Color | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Front Power | Amber/Green | Power Good status of all voltages generated for the chassis.
|
2 | Front Status | Amber/Green | This status represents the application status.
|
3 | Front Active | Amber/Green | Chassis Redundancy State Indicator:
|
4 | Front Alarm | Amber/Red | Chassis Critical/Major Failure Indicator:
|
5 | Front Locator | White | On or blinking, depending on the "ipmitool chassis identify" command. Also controls CSC Locator LED. |
6 | SSD Disk Status | Green/Amber | Disk Status of SSD Drive 0
|
7 | Hotswap (H/S) | Blue |
Solid Blue when Drive is ready for removal (unmounted). |
8 | FanCtl LED | Green/Amber | Fan Control Status Indicator.

The SCC7000 can be accessed via a dedicated Ethernet interface and a dedicated RS-232 interface.
SCC Panel Layout
The following tables describe each component of the SCC7000 panel.
SCC7000 Ports
Port | Cable Requirement | Description |
---|---|---|
Alarm Port | Customer supplied cable | Alarm contact via a single shielded male DB15 HD connector. This software release does not support the Alarm Port. |
Serial Port | Male DB9 connector | An RS-232 port used by BMC and control plane. The serial port uses a DB9 connector accessible from the rear panel. |
BMC ENET Port (Field Service) | Copper CAT5e cable | A single 10/100MB BMC ENET port. |
SCC7000 LEDs
SCC LEDs | Color | Description |
---|---|---|
Hot Swap/BMC Ejector Switch | Blue | Normally Off. Flash Blue when SCC ejector is pulled 1/4" to indicate hotswap request. Solid Blue when BMC is ready for removal (unmounted). Will be OFF when BMC is swapped. Partial backing out the BMC ejector switch 1/4" initiates a graceful shutdown of the CSC. |
Power | Green | Power Good Status.
|
Status | Amber/Green | Module Status.
|
BMC Reset button (recessed) | Resets the SCC card which in turn resets all the cards in the Chassis. | |
RJ45 Link | Green | Solid Green with port link |
RJ45 Activity | Green | Blink Green with port activity |
Hot swapping the SCC will shut down the chassis immediately.
CAT6 cabling may be required in environments where there is unusually high Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) from power lines, manufacturing equipment, or certain types of lighting.
The Core Server Card (CSC7000) provides the control and data plane processing resources required by the Sonus Session Border Control application. The control plane processing functional block is responsible all activities related to session management. This includes calls/sessions setup/tear down, media interface management, encryption services, etc. The data plane functional block is responsible for providing data switching functionality for the traffic packets received and sent through the CSC7000 card.
The CSC7000 cards contains a total of 8 x Small Form Factor Interfaces (SFP/SFP+):
CSC Back Panel Layout
The following two tables describe the CSC back panel components and LED descriptions of the
CSC Back Panel Component
Components | Cable Requirement | Description |
---|---|---|
High Availability Ports | SFP+ 10G fiber cable | Two fiber SFP+ 10G ports for redundancy synchronization traffic. The platform supports box level redundancy via communication paths provided by the external HA Ethernet ports. |
Management Ports | SFP 1G fiber or Copper CAT5e cable | This process Management traffic and perform protocol termination. |
Media Ports | SFP+ 10G fiber cable | Four fiber SFP+ 10G ports for media and signaling traffic. There are two primary and two secondary media ports. |
Ribbon-provided SFP/SFP+ modules must be used to guarantee proper operation of the external ports. Failure to follow this recommendation may cause permanent damage to the system.
CSC Back Panel LEDs
CSC LEDs | Color | Description |
---|---|---|
Hot Swap | Blue | This LED is used when the chassis management software brings down the CSC module. Hot swap Indicator:
|
Power | Green | Always ON when 48V is applied to the card. OFF when 48V is not applied to the card. This is hardwired on the module. |
Status | Green | This Green LED indicates that the CSC is completely started and operational. Module Status
|
Locator | ON or blinking, depending on the "ipmitool chassis identify" command. Also controls front Chassis Locator LED. | |
HA[1:0] Link | Solid Green with port link | |
HA[1:0] Activity | Blink Green with port activity | |
Media[3:0] Link | Solid Green with port link | |
Media[3:0] Activity | Blink Green with port activity |
