BBU3910
Exterior
A BBU has a case structure, 19 inches wide and 2 U high.
The following shows the exterior of a BBU.
Figure 1 BBU Exterior
A BBU is labeled with an electronic serial number (ESN). The following figure shows the ESN position on
the BBU.
• If there is a label on the FAN unit in a BBU, an ESN is printed on the label and a mounting ear of the BBU,
as shown in the following figure.
Figure 2 ESN position 1
• If there is no label on the FAN unit in a BBU, an ESN is printed on a mounting ear of the BBU, as shown in
the following figure.
Figure 3 ESN position 2
NOTE:An ESN is a unique identifier of a device and is used during base station commissioning.
Working Principle
A BBU consists of the following subsystems and each subsystem consists of different modules.
• The baseband subsystem consists of the baseband processing unit.
• The power and mechanical subsystem consists of the backplane, fan, and power module.
• The transmission subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit as well as the transmission
extension unit.
• The interconnection subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unita as well as the
infrastructure interconnection unit.
• The main control subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit.
• The monitoring subsystem consists of the power module and monitoring unit.
• The clock subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit as well as the satellite card and clock
unit.
NOTE:a: In the interconnection subsystem, a UMPT is used as the main control and transmission unit.
The following figure shows the working principle of a BBU.

Function
A BBU performs the following functions:
• Provides ports for connecting to the transmission equipment, RF modules, base station signal sources, USB
devicesa, external reference clock, and LMT or U2020 to transmit signals, perform automatic base station
software upgrade, receive reference clock signals, and support maintenance on the LMT or U2020.
• Manages the entire base station system. The management involves the uplink and downlink data processing,
signaling processing, resource management, and operation and maintenance.
