RNC HARDWARE UPGRADE FROM STEP 1 TO STEP 2
1. ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to upgrade RNC Charguia to Step 2, to add 4 new associstions in IuPS,
add 4 new associations in IuCS, add one IuPS UP, add one IuCS UP, add 4 IuB UP/CP, install 2 NPGEP
cards in Subrack 3 (NPGEP 6 and NPGEP7) of RNAC cabinet and rehome a set of existing nodeBs into
new integrated NPGEP.
1.2 Scope
The scope of this document is to outline the plug-in units to be installed, the procedures of RNC Charguia
hardware upgrade as well as the configuration of new designed interfaces. It indicates also the estimated
duration and the generated impact of each task.

2.2 Installation/Commissioning activities
Estimated
Day RNC Work Impact
Time
Risk to remove existing timing cables
to insert new ones;
alarms related to timing module could
1h30 Connect HMS and timing cable in TBU0
be generated
and TBU1 in RNAC cabinet
Create the hardware configuration of
15 min No impact
subrack 1&2, PD30 and TBUF
Connect HMS bus 1 and timing bus 1
30 min intercabinet cables between RNAC and No impact
RNBC
Day1 Attach the TBU 1 functional unit
15 min description to the TBUF plug-in units in No impact
the new subrack
Connect HMS bus 0 and timing bus 0
15 min intercabinet cables between RNAC and No impact
RNBC
Attach the TBU 0 functional unit
15 min description to the TBUF plug-in units in No impact
the new subrack
15 min for the Check HMS data (in case a HMS update
No impact
check is needed, we should update it)
