What's the board add?

Function

This command is used to add a board offline. After adding a board, you can configure and query the board data even when the board status is Failed. After you insert the board into a slot, the board status becomes Normal and configuration data takes effect.

NOTE:

All power interface boards do not support auto-find. Therefore, the power interface boards (except the PRTG board) must be added using this command. The PRTG board does not support software management. Its status is normal after you run this command to add it, irrespective of the physical board status.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
frameid/slotid	frameid/slotid indicates the subrack ID and slot ID. Enter a slash (/) between the subrack and slot IDs. board-type indicates the board model. When adding a board, you must specify the subrack ID, slot ID, and model of the board.	Please see Differences Between Shelves.
board-type		Enumerated type. Options: Options vary according to the device type.
sub0 etha_sub0_type	Indicates the type of daughter board 0 of the H801ETHA Ethernet cascade board. You can use one or two daughter boards for the H801ETHA Ethernet cascade board. You can add a daughter board only after the H801ETHA Ethernet cascade board is added.	Enumerated type. Option: o4gs (it provides four GE optical ports for cascade).
sub1 etha_sub1_type	Indicates the type of daughter board 1 of the H801ETHA Ethernet cascade board. You can use one or two daughter boards for the H801ETHA Ethernet cascade board. You can add a daughter board only after the H801ETHA Ethernet cascade board is added.	Enumerated type. Option: o4gs (it provides four GE optical ports for cascade).
sub0 sub0_type	Indicates the type of the daughter board 0. For H801ETHB, you can install one or do not install any daughter board. When the backplane does not support the board binding, the x1ha daughter board provides an HG port (inter-chip cascading port) for inter-board interworking. H801TOPA is used for TDM services and provides the E1 and STM-1 ports through different daughter boards to implement native TDM or CESoP function. H801BIUA, a BITS interface unit board, inputs and outputs BITS clock signals. H801CITB and H801CITD, integrated interface transfer boards, provide the clock source for the system.	Enumerated type. Options are as follows: H801ETHB: x1ha (provides inter-chip cascading port for inter-board interconnection) H801TOPA: nh1a: supports TDM signals transmitted over the E1 port in the upstream direction for implementing the native TDM function. eh1a: supports TDM signals transmitted over the E1 port in the upstream transmission for implementing the CESoP function. o2ce: supports TDM signals transmitted over the STM-1 optical port in the upstream direction for implementing the native TDM function. cssa: supports TDM signals transmitted over the STM-1 optical port in the upstream direction for implementing the CESoP function. H801BIUA: h801ckma and h802ckma. The daughter boards can independently provide 32.768 MHz clock signals or trace external 8 kHz clock reference source signals and outputs synchronized 32.768 MHz clock signals. H801CITB and H801CITD: bitsb. This daughter board recovers 2 Mbit/s clock signals or reshapes 2 MHz signals. Processed clock signals can be used as the system clock signals.
sub0 aiu_sub0_type	Indicates the type of daughter board 0 of the H801AIUG board. H801AIUG is the ATM interface unit board that is connected to the ATM-DSLAM and provides the ATM and IP private services. H801AIUG provides two daughter board slots. You can use two O2CS daughter boards. If you use only one daughter board, you must install the daughter board in slot 0.	Enumerated type. Option: o2cs (it provides two ATM optical ports for upstream transmission).
sub1 aiu_sub1_type	Indicates the type of daughter board 1 of the H801AIUG board. H801AIUG provides two daughter board slots. You can use two O2CS daughter boards.	Enumerated type. Option: o2cs (it provides two ATM optical ports for upstream transmission).

Usage Guidelines

• When adding a board, pay attention to the following points:
  • The subrack and slot IDs of the added board in the command line must be consistent with those of the actual subrack and slot.
  • The added board type in the command line must be consistent with the actual board type.
• You can add a board in the following two modes:
  • Add a board offline.
    1. Run the board add command to add a board in the vacant slot and the system reports a board faulty alarm (alarm ID is 0x02310000).
    2. Insert the board into the matched slot manually. If the inserted board type is consistent with the added board type, the system reports a board fault clear alarm (alarm ID is 0x02320000). If they are inconsistent, the system reports a mismatch event (event ID is 0x02300082).
  • Automatically find a board.
    1. Insert a board into the vacant slot.
    2. The system displays the message indicating that the board is found automatically.
    3. Run the board confirm command to confirm the automatically found board.

Example

To add a GPBC board in slot 0/3 offline, do as follows:

huawei(config)#board add 0/3 H801GPBC
  0 frame 3 slot board added successfully

To add an H801BIUA board whose daughter board type is H801CKMA to slot 0/0 offline, do as follows:

huawei(config)#board add 0/0 H801BIUA
{ <cr>|sub0<K> }:sub0
{ sub0_type<E><h801ckma,h802ckma> }:h801ckma
                                                                                
  Command:
          board add 0/0 H801BIUA sub0 h801ckma
  0 frame 0 slot board added successfully

System Response

• The system displays the message "x frame x slot board added successfully" after the board is added offline successfully. The x and y are the subrack ID and slot ID respectively.
• For more information about the error message that the system displays against a command entered with incorrect syntax, see the "Syntax Check" in Parameter.
