4 Hardware Structure
This chapter introduces the hardware structure of the system, including the
single-frame configuration and integrated equipment configuration of the system.
Besides, it introduces the functions, principles, and interfaces of the system boards.
And this helps the user better understand the hardware structure of the system.
4.1 Overall Architecture of the System
The ZXDSL 9210 system adopts a 17U 2-layer frame structure. The upper-layer is a
splitter adopting a 7U board while the lower layer is the SCBF and user board which
adopt 9U standard boards. The lower layer is composed of two active/standby SCBFs,
15 line interface boards, Ethernet uplink boards, 1000M Ethernet optical interface
boards or embedded BASs. Ethernet uplink boards, 1000M Ethernet optical interface
boards and embedded BASs can be plugged together with line interface board slots.
Besides, the system adopts distributed power supply mode. The overall hardware
architecture of the ZXDSL 9210 system is shown in Fig. 4.1-1.
