Flexi Capacity Extension Sub-Module (FBBA) description

Functional description
Functional overview
The FBBA sub-module is an optional extension to the Flexi Multiradio BTS System Module.
One FBBA provides a hardware baseband capacity for up to three 20 MHz LTE cells with 2x2 MIMO.
FBBA is 1U high and it is IP65 ingress protected.
FBBA operates at the temperature range from -35 to + 55 °C.

Connecting Flexi Multiradio 10 BTS Capacity Extension Sub-

Module (FBBA) cabling
Before you start
 NOTICE: Incorrect cables and seals may not provide appropriate ingress protection. Use only tested IP65
class outdoor cables with seals provided by Nokia. This is required for both indoor and outdoor
installations, including the outdoor cabinet.

Procedure

1 Remove IP seals from the FBBA ports that you are going to use.
Store the seals for later use.

Figure: Removing FBBA IP seals

2 Connect the power cable (995297) from the DC out port on the FSMx core to the DC in port on
the FBBA front panel.
Make sure it clicks into place.

Figure: Connecting power cable

3 Push the connector seals firmly in place.

4 If using two FBBA sub-modules, chain the power cable from the DC out port of the first FBBA to
the DC in port of the second FBBA.

Figure: Chaining power cable

5 Push the connector seals firmly in place.

6 Connect a QSFP cable (995298) from the BB EXT1 port on the FSMx core to the BB EXT port on
the FBBA front panel.

NOTICE: Make sure the power cable is connected before connecting the QSFP cable.

Make sure it clicks into place.

7 Push the connector seals firmly in place.

8 If using two FBBA sub-modules, connect a QSFP cable (995298) from the BB EXT2 port on the
FSMx core to the BB EXT port of the second FBBA.

9 Push the connector seals firmly in place.

10 Make sure that all the connector seals are properly installed.

11 If applicable, install a front cover on the FSMx.

NOTICE: Do not break the maximum bending radius of 40 mm (1.57 in.) for the QSFP cables.
Bend the cables upwards as shown in Figure: Bending the QSFP cables (1) and Figure: Bending
the QSFP cables (2), ensuring that the outer edges of the cables are within the front cover inner
dimensions.
