Hi and welcome to everyone's favorite segment Bio Bag! Let's get straight into it. Thank you very much Max Button winning name! It's like Max Power I'm Max Button Fantastic! from Erin Affair here in not only Straw Lea but New South Wales as well and this has to be the heaviest mailbag item I've ever got. Could be pushing 20 kilos or something like that. Don't out ladies in pounds for you Yanks x 2.2 technique Thought this deserved a look before ending up in the business so we have a bit of junked electronics.

It was once a very valuable bit of kit by the way. Update: I Hit! Whoa! I Hit 10,000 subscribers on library' Widow Winner Chicken dinner! Thank you very much to everyone who subscribed on Library' And because it's a decentralized that's just on library dot TV by the way. But because it's a decentralized network, it's actually hard to know exactly how many are people watch and follow on the library network as libraries like a protocol just like HTTP is accept this lb ry. But yes, 10,000 subscribers.

Absolutely fantastic. And if you don't know I've done a video on this, might have to link it in. but I became a full-time youtuber in 2011 with only 10,000 subscribers. so you got to watch my video to know how I actually did that.

Anyway, up yet? so it feels like old but new again. Absolutely fantastic. So if you're not subscribed a library, please do Okay. it's rackmount stomach.

oh my the ups or so. Is it full of bloody batteries? Is it it's food? Ok, it's a bit of kit. Huawei Um okay. wow.

I know they did like that sort of stuff. but anyway, and here it is. It's so far away and it's just got some Ethernet E-type interfaces I'm not sure the ones an Rs-232 interface I Like how they put the Porter 8 on there. Check that out.

115,000 200 Not sure why these are on an angle. their optical ports are they so that they can come out at a better angle here. but anyway, it's got alarm. Run what's on the back to IEC with individual switches.

Fault run, alarm fault. Slide this out there we go. That's a yeah. wow.

that's a that's a nice-looking power supply. Well I know I think it's UPS I think it's just a really heavy something or other. 53 volt output 15 amp max. What a Bobby Dazzler Well it turns out it's not a UPS it's a V multi-point control unit for a video conferencing system.

The VP 9630 for those that playing along at home dates from 2013 and max. Sure enough, it says that it comes from a backbone for a video conferencing system for emergency services. One of the power supplies is dud apparently. so it I just had a quick look and it I'm still not really sure what it actually does, but it's somehow controls up to 12 1080p, 1080, 60 P of video channels.

That part was apparently the first unit or they claim was the first unit on the market to do real-time art transcoding of that many 1080p 60 P channel I Guess they all come via the optical interface and it processes them and then streams them out some out I Don't know. So the amazing weight in this thing just comes from the power supplies and all the electronics and other modules. There's a fan module. Ah jeez, can Nick those fans at no idea if they're any good or not.
but yeah, you know, always put those I've got a fan I got a bin full of fans I love those custom connectors. Check that out. that's just for the fan module. Wow It spared no expense.

Really spectacular. Spared no expense. Really like how there's a 4 millimeter jack on here for your ESD strap. Absolutely fantastic.

And a big ass Earth terminal as well. Uh-huh Figured it out I was about to get all medieval sauce and then I figured out that it actually slides forward. It seems obvious. but yeah, trust me.

Anyway, there we go. Well, we're in like Flynn Wow Look at the hardware inside this puppy, but because it does dedicated hardware based H.264 a 1080 60 P encoding and decoding on multiple channels, it's got to have a ton of stuff. It reminds me of the the Sony video systems which I'll link in at the end and down below. If you haven't seen them, they're absolutely fascinating.

Those are video editing professional video editing solutions. This one's not video editing, but this is like video conferencing and things like that. So we've got multiple cards in here. Wow this is: Wow Look thick 4.2 millimeter PCB Ah, that's thick as bro.

Hi to all my New Zealand viewers. Check out that big power connector over there. Look at that beast that has got screw terminals on the back of it. So this comes in from the power supply.

so they're just distributing. What's a little a pin dip in a socket? there. We have to check that out. There's another power connector.

that one's only got screwed up. two screw terminals ripped off. Look at the ground. What? Is it? A spike that's not rigidly connected? What on earth? What? As you slide the board out, Oh Does it like make first contact when you slide it in Or something like that? Is it? Anyway, Wow.

There's a ton of engineering in this puppy. Look at it. Wow. I Don't believe how much.

If anyone has any idea how much this would have cost. and this is like the runt of the litter. Really, there are much bigger ones available as part of a big cascaded you know, video conferencing distribution type streaming system. But Wow Anyway, so they're clearly going to be using multiple internal layers.

probably you know, two outs or even more copper inside. They're just yet the power distribution. and of course she used the are 4.2 millimeters for rigidity as well. It's not like it has to be that thick to carry the current, it's just you know they're using it as a rigid structure there.

Who? brilliant? Because we saw before 15 amps per power supply, so 30 amps total. so you know it's it's large current, but like, not absolutely enormous in the scheme of things. There's another little Graham spike down there. Check that out.
it's not making contact, but it's certainly going the effort and you can see the good thermal design of this too. Of course, we've got our spacings between. We've got three layers of boards here. I Don't think there's another layer under there.

No, that's the power supplies slide out of that. So we've got three layers of stackable boards. It looks like we can stack more here and I believe this is part of the system. You can actually continue to stack these boards up and up.

I'm not sure what the limit is, we'll have to look at the manual configuration manual for that, but you can get larger and larger cases for this thing. hence why the case is probably a bit unusual in its design and construction because you can actually get thicker ones that expand upwards. And obviously this is like one of our main processing boards over here. And each one of these boards, this looks like we've got at least one two, three, four, got four separate boards.

Probably the same configuration down on the main board perhaps for doing all the video encoding and decoding, plus all your web interface and main processing case. All this sort of stuff it's got like a web interface control and things like that, so that's probably the main web interface processor type thing over there. But anyway, looking at the thermal designs, right, you've got to get a lot of airflow in this thing, so it's sucking it through the vents on the side here, and it sucks the air in and blows it out through these three fans. Fairly evenly spread over all the boards like that, so that's really quite nice.

And yes, they do have the fins in the correct orientation for that airflow. You'll notice that they're actually long like that if you flip them around the other way. So you had mostly the flat part and the airflow going through like that it did. You get turbulent flow and all that sort of stuff.

You wouldn't be able to get the heat as effectively out of there. You're effectively like a blocking that airflow. So yep, you've chosen the right orientation there. That's not by accident.

That's all part of good engineering thermal design. So this really is quite amazing. If you have an idea of how much this sort of gear is worth, please let us know in the comments down below. And who knew that? Huawei Because we just know and like making phones, but other people in the industry they might know they're into like the professional electronics market like this, just like Sony and other companies are, but you don't think I've you know Sony You think of just consuming it, but they practically owned the entire like you know, tons of like professional video editing and all sorts of other professional recording tools and things like that.

screws out. but I like these. his plastic cover here. oscillator porn? look at that.
Vectron OC oh that would be oven controlled oscillator. about thirty two, Point seven, six, Eight Megahertz thank you very much. Nice binary multiple there. but yeah, that'd be worth a pretty penny.

but they're there they're serious about they're a stable clock here. Nice. You'd salvage that I think I got all the screws and of course like we've just got a bunch of DRM on the back and things like that and just some miscellaneous stuffs and local oscillator and other you know, transceivers and other housekeeping stuff and whatnot you can see here by all the bypassing and all the V is there huge BGA yeah a thousand pin. BGA going to be some custom ASIC processing thingy, video processor, encoder, decoder, then another one.

Okay, it could be an FPGA too and then another one here. Another one here. another one here. another one here.

well cheat. Jeez, that's heavy. Why look at that beastie? Wow Huge heat sinking under there. Once again the orientation of the fins like this there very deliberate.

like this because the airflow is coming in like this and it's got to flow over those fins even though they're not very tall so not a terribly efficient heat sink in that aspect of like a surface area fins there. but they've only got limited height and then would have done all the thermal testing calculations to ensure it's correct so they knew what they were doing. Wow Absolute beast. That one's just stuck down there.

It's a bit how you're doing. it's on an angle. That's all the power up there for it. That's all.

Obviously, we're probably going to have like a whole bunch of local supplies. there might be, you know, 1.2 volts, 1.8 volts, 3.3 Look at those MOSFETs up there. Wow, that's some beefy switch mode right there and fused as well. a poly switch on the output.

So very nice. Ah, you like you'd keep these boards. it's just chock full of premium goodness. Well there's a surprise I Expected Are these bottom boards to be identical? This one looks like it's going to be, but this one here significantly difference.

But yeah. I Expected. Four identical. So tough that oddball one.

But look at all the look at the bypass in on this bad boy. look at this. look at all the huge FPGA or ASIC we're gonna have under here. This is some serious-ass hardware and this is not going to be built down to a price in any way.

There'd be zero penny pinching in this because price is no object in this sort of market. You pay what you pay for the performance of this. but we're talking tens of thousands of dollars just for this kit, let alone all the higher-end models and things like that as part of the system. Sure, this is tens of thousands of dollars easy.

And there you have it. We have a grand total of three of these boards like this. However, many video encoder decoder channels that is I don't know and it looks like nine identical channels on here. They could be FPGAs for example, lots of huge tantalum bypassing on there and a bunch of memory for each one of course.
and is that no, there's no more memory on the other side, but a ton of bypassing I Mean it's just that's nuts, but that's what you get on modern FPGAs and a lot of designers tend to go overboard. But once again, or power supply stuff up here. and check out the high speed board to board interconnects like this. You'll notice that the inner one is big ground contact like that.

Very nice. So these are all really ultra high speed differential pairs. You can run through these things and designed for high speed board aboard interconnects. Not sure the brand or model of this.

it could be I don't know a Sam tech or something like that. They cost a pretty penny in their own right and so much for my theory that a it would contain more channels on the base board like you know you'd give. you. buy the base model unit and need to get X amount of channels and then you expand them up with the modules.

Nope, Nope, that's just A. It's just a bear board on the bottom and looks like they have something on the other side here. These bypass caps ain't going to be there for nothing. Not only do we have bypass caps, but we also have little series termination resistors.

So yeah, something on the other side I think I'm gonna have to get this hole popping out and yep, there's another chip under there. So yeah, the whole thing's gonna come out. Geez. All right, this whole puppy is going to slide out like this.

Got some foam down here? Oh Careful when you're pulling in our boards like this, the pins on the bottom. they can rip you open. I've already drew some blood under the case of this thing having a plate. No, that's what those pins right.

Those pins up there, that one there, and that one there. They're designed to stop this board sliding out. Wow Didn't expect that I Thought this would just pull out, but I guess they were. I Think the deal is is that that whole backplane has to come out before this board can slide.

That's a bit disappointing. Here you go. this whole thing now just lifts out like that. And by the way, check out this.

The huge power input. There is just a press fit, contact. They aren't sold it. No, they didn't forget to sort of that.

That's just how they are. You can actually get those. They do work quite well in the industry and no need for that, sort of rubbish. And there's the other mating side of that huge big power one.

There's the three-way job' and those bigger spikes look like they're just for alignment when you put the boards in. They don't actually do anything electrically. really. Anyway, version A Board: It's upside down so all the electrons are going to fall out is our five row data connector.
I'm not actually sure where that goes, like there's nothing else like there to do anything with it. So yeah, I'm not sure what the deal is. it's like it's really just a power distribution and absolutely no surprises at all for finding that's an E Squared prom. It's doing some sort of product ID Something like that.

You know then what kind of worry about? it's not for like, secured or anything. They're not going to worry about it. He wasn't ripping off this product. The engineering.

If you could rip off this product, good luck to you. You deserve to because a phenomenal amount of engineering is gone into this. Looks like we've got another four point two millimeter PCB down in here, which I connects all of the well the other side of the power supplies and you can see the power supply connector down in there. Oh it's a beauty Wow Look at those dual white contacts there so that really is just a beautiful piece of system engineering design really.

And as I said, it's designed I believe to stack up like even higher and higher and you can put like larger and larger cases on this thing and it's designed to grow upwards. Every aspect of this spared no expense and that is a gorgeous PCMCIA holder. Well the thing. a low must have cost.

Imagine the single one-off bond cost of that there'd be enormous. Anyway, that's a Western Digital Silicon Drive registered trademark One Gig Solid State Drive Manufacturing Date 44th week 2013 so you know that would have been hot stuff back in the day I Guess Ok over here we start off with our we've got Ethernet interfaces whatever they are and that Rs-232 one as well. We've got the magnetics down in here. they're not built into there.

these are your two our fiber interfaces. so though like fiber modules just are slide into there so all the laser diode goodness is inside the module. The receivers and transmit stuff is in there and this is basically just a holder pretty much board the board interconnect got now Terror Max to CP or D that's just doing some like general housekeeping stuff and battery backup Of course. for the real-time players though, that would be the real-time clock chip.

I think I See an ST branding on that puppy and then we've got all the power supply goodness. Wow Look at these. you would salvage these. These are like, obviously they farm out the design of these to someone, but you know you can't do them in-house But anyway, people ask, why would you put it on a module? why don't just put all these parts on the main PCB Like what you do here? Okay, this is integrated with this well.

this is a higher power solution. and look the magnetics That's a complete ferrite going on. Both of the sides of the board's there and we're going to a planar transformer. which means that the windings are going to be inside on the PCB This and you don't want to be designing this sort of stuff on this massive aboard.
I Mean you've got enough issues with this board. Imagine if you like goofed up and you had to respawn this whole board just because somebody screwed up on one of the little power supply ones like this, you could argue. Well, why didn't they do it here? This is a lot simpler than this solution here. So anyway, and they as I said they probably farm that out and buy it in.

so you definitely want to do soul to their soul to direct, get those out because they're valuable. They'd be like super efficient, really high power converters you can use for your projects and things like that. Gorgeous. No surprises for guessing the brand of the capacitors down in there.

I Don't even think I need to show you a top-notch quality. everything on this, they would not be saving a single cent anywhere. They just wouldn't bother. Tiny little oscillator down in there, that's for something going on there and then a Broadcom chipset over here.

we're gonna have a look what that's doing. Do we have a part number on that? Let's have a look at that. I'm sure that's doing something that we can find out about and other stuff on the bottom. Well, drivers may be like interfacing housekeeping for interfacing with the other boards up here.

So there's the board in all its goodness. And there's those power supply modules soldered down there, so you definitely want to try and get those out. Unfortunately I know they're often like a tight as a nun's nasty inside the holes there and we're sucking out the solder on those. Could be a bit of a pain, but anyway, worth a shot.

Not much doing. Not sure what's going on down in the corner down there though. that's all the Ethernet Ii type stuff over there. They've removed some of the ground plane for controlled impedance reasons.

All this other stuff up here? well this is all T I we got a TI job in there I'm not sure that's doing Xilinx Spartan Again, have a couple of chips in there which I do not recognize at all and then another one of those Toa chips up there. so I can get the data on those or pull them. and is that some sort of clock driver? That wouldn't surprise me? that kind of looks PLL II to me. So I'd say clock driver offhand a couple of surface-mount fuses down here.

very nice. as I said that oven controlled oscillator or you want to get that bad boy out of there. you bet your bottom dollar probably FPGA under there or is it driving for interfacing? Perhaps stuff like that and the power supply input up there. Got another rough surface mount fuse job' there and oh, it's just brilliant.

And if you're wondering, can you bend a four point two millimeter? PCB Yeah, well it's just five of us here you go. Wiggle wiggle wiggle Yeah. All right. So what's going on with this board here? Massive FPGA or ASIC Got some firmware down here.

did giveaway with the stickers on it and what's a Cortina Well, I know what a Ford Cortina is, but don't know what a Cortina is he in Canada Really? Is there a Fabian Canada that makes that there is. Please leave it in the comments. no less than one, two, three, four, five, six, seven oscillators. None on the bottom.
No, that's really quite remarkable. Anyway, looks like we've got some is that it's wrap that could be high-speed SRAM Is it or is that DRAM I don't know. It's some sort of Broad Comet chipset down there and short that is two of them. and that's where all the power supply stuff around here.

No surprises for finding like a linear tech part on here. They weren't our most expensive in the business, but then they're brilliant doing some shunt current shunt measurement there by the looks of it. and I got the heat gun out and I managed to get that heatsink off. It was stuck on there good and proper.

I Think my isopropyl is going to get that off. some scraping that will get there. Well, no surprises for fighting an Intel in there. What's a WPI XP 2350? Well it turns out the IXP 2350 is a network processor 2004 vintages when that came out.

So yeah, this is the main that processor that's running all the applications software and probably like doing lots of the like, the networking OS and all sorts of stuff. Anyway, this is running the application, this is running the whole show. So onto this board here now. I Looked at the manual it says it contains well.

the base model anyway contains eight dedicated audio processes and we haven't known here unless my counties out and it wouldn't be the all the video stuff because I think that's all on the other boards cuz that's the main purpose of this thing. Best guess would be that this is doing the audio process and I've got a max 2 CP or D that's just doing housekeeping. You don't have a I can't really find any info on that apart from that. Well, it's related to our way in some way.

so I'm not sure whose logo that is. If you do know what that is, leave it in the comments down below. Anyway, this puppy here is a PCI to PCI bridge. so obviously we've got the PCI interface.

We saw these on the other boards as well, so they're just using those as generic PCI interfaces to each one of these boards and that makes sense and there's lots of experience and knowledge with the PCI interfacing. It's fantastic to use and it's going to do the business. So yeah, no surprises for there. But anyway, I'm try and pop one of these off.

not too hard. you just get the heat gun I had a - 150 degrees and then just heat it up for like 30 seconds and then it just pops. What doesn't pop off? you've got to put a bit of force. but yeah, we're gonna have to scrape this one as well.

and the TMS 320 fanboys go wild on bit of a A320 fanboy myself. and yet this would almost certainly be doing the audio processing because that didn't be a classic of TMS 320 years. It is like a Defacto industry standard digital signal process and one of the classic uses for these would be for audio Pro see real-time audio processing? So yeah, no doubt that's what it's doing I Think this is the audio I can't where there's nine of them I don't know an extra one for housekeeping or an extra channel just for good measure? Not sure. But yep, one of those dedicated to each audio processing stream.
and once again, like it's all digital. It's got it. Like it comes in digital. It's not like this is like sampling an analog audio.

This is not an analogue product. It comes in via the fibre Ethernet ease Internet of Things thing. You know, whatever all comes via that digital and then it does its dedicated processing of the audio you know, probably filtering or other type stuff. and it does it all in dedicated hardware.

If every channel gets its own dedicated DSP and that's what you're paying for, you're paying for this dedicated hardware, you know, maybe try and do this on even a like a you know, a top range gamer kiddie PC And like it's just gonna bog down once you render dozens of different 1080p videos and audio all at the same time. And things like that like in filter it and do all that sort of stuff. gonna keel over. This is why you have dedicated hardware and I got the heatsinks off this bad boy.

This is the obviously the video encoding decoding. Unfortunately, my scraping technique didn't work very well with this. It is an alt error something so it's an out error. FPGAs something.

Fpga A big-ass Fpga as you'd probably expect. Looked at the numbers on these. but herein lies the issue. If you want to get the heat out of all these, you can put like the individual small heat sinks on all of them or you can go for one larger heatsink which they've decided to do here.

The problem is is that these chips are different height profiles so how do you solve that? Well there is can you can do it a couple of ways, but one way they decided to do it is to actually machine out the heatsink so it's actually got the like a raised part that comes in contact with the chips down there. the smaller chips so bingo and like how many times multiple if you just increase the cost of that heatsink by having to do that operation. but thermally that was the best decision that the cable if as I said they wouldn't be saving cost on this thing. no siree.

Bob Anyway, um, interestingly this one is different to those three and the TMS 320 fanboys go wild again. The bigger device under there is a TMS 320, DM Eight One six eight for those playing along at home. Well as it turns out, that's just not any TMS 320 like audio processor that's actually a Da Vinci Code processor. It's got an ARM Cortex on there.

it like over a gig plus a DSP processor as well as well as a video encoding engine. And yeah, it's specific DSP Inca and dedicated hardware encoding for video and audio processing. So there's four channels of those I presume one per video because there's only one video engine on there. and this one, it's an analog devices job II ha that a DV chip that is a HDMI receiver and 12 bit HDMI digitizer.
So obviously there may be the giant FPGA Over here is decoding all the serial data coming in from the network and let's say you've got you know, streaming video coming in and then splits it up into the multiple channels and then feeds it into the separate encoder and a separate sorry HDMI a receiver and then processes it inside the DSP and then that'll shoot it back out. Perhaps that'd be my guess anyway, but but I haven't looked into the architecture of this thing. So yeah, I don't know why is this one different? but turns out that's actually a Brit now owned by Broadcom PCI switch. so like a six port Pci switch.

So then you know they're still doing that PCI stuff at that point in the system. certain other analog devices under there. so oh yeah, because they had four. it's just the layouts.

A bit odd because this one's probably associated with this one and this one with this one something like that. So yeah, they probably just that could just be a layout thing. they just went. You would have laid this out as a block first and then duplicated it like this and then figured out how to fit this in.

So seems a bit odd ball. But anyway, you didn't seriously think I was going to finish this video If out showing you inside this bad boy, let's check it out. These are obviously two fans and yep, well that beautiful thing of beauty. Mix of surface mount and through-hole as you'd expect.

Once again spared no expense on this thing. Designed by designer manufacturer by a company called Vapor and never heard of a relay down in their real fair dinkum. Really okay. we've got done.

Model it, look Doom of Protection. It just looks really gorgeous. Look at the single sided phenolic PCB up here they're jut look, they're just using that board. They're just for the mains wiring so the main starts over here.

Look at the protection. the size of those mods are. they just suck the jewels. Wow Thank you very much.

So that's just super impressive. Wow And is that a spark up there? I Think it might be a brilliant belt and braces. And then we've got our multi stage out common mode chokes here. Absolutely fantastic.

Look at the Earthing Up there is first class of course as you'd expect. Absolutely terrific and look at all the just individually heat shrunk all of the wires. They're just this ribbon cable going over here like they just didn't care about optimizing manufacturing cost of this, they couldn't give a rat's you know they to input fuses there. look at the input resistors therefore surge and it's just fantastic.

You want to watch salvage that board put in your junk bin for sure and don't know the brand of those caps though anyone ching hai' or something sorry eyes can't can't see that from here. So main switching devices. they dumped them down down in there and it all looks really top-quality no worries whatsoever. Fantastic! Got multiple more protection on the output here Wow So yeah, that likely cost a pretty penny.
If anyone would want to hazard a guess, please leave it in the comments down below like they just like didn't care what you know when this power supply fails which has got Joule This is a dual redundant power supply system. By the way, it's not because there's it says it's two plus two redundant which means I Do believe it needs both of these power supplies in the system to work, but when you tie it into another system, it can actually have redundant power supplies so they'd be outputs here which would you know allow them Liked elements they'd be monitoring, tell them it's failed, or they'd be monitoring on the other board. they know it's failed and they can switch them over redundantly to keep your video stream going. So it's all about reliability, both in terms of power supplies, and also they've got a redundant capability in the switches as well the fiber-optic interfaces and the Ethernet interfaces.

So yeah, a highly redundant product. So there you go: I Hope you enjoy that and thank you very much Max for sending this. Fairly unique, and almost certainly hideously expensive. If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.

I'm a bit of video encoding technology. just the bomb. Cost in this is absolutely enormous. But look at all the engineering that goes into this.

If you think designing a new Huawei mobile phone is a big job and it is, imagine the team that it took to work on this and how many years they worked on just this niche product and then they've got to get other aterna all that NRI engineering cost to design these things. If you've got any idea how big the market is for this video streaming type technology, how many units they sold or they typically sell, when is this thing still around? As people are people still using them, leave it in the comments. if you know what replaced it, are they like I'd Just like racks, pcs, server, rack pcs just you know, and graphics cars just chewing through the same stuff that this dedicated hardware did. But it's not that old.

it's only what you know. Six seven years old. so but it's was destined for the dumpster. probably because it's faulty.

otherwise you know, yeah, pre land still probably be use. but anyway, who knew that? Huawei we're into this sort of stuff I Had no idea. Just like a lot of people have no idea that Sony and other companies like that are into the professional audio and video type markets as well. and I've done lots of teardown of like really obscure bits of Sony kitten Huawei Well I don't know.
it's because they're fairly new like in the public consciousness now and I only heard of them when they you know start around making you know routers and mobile phones and things like that. So but yeah, it's a real interesting bit of kit. So yeah, if you're really after like real high-end are systems engineering stuff then go to try, maybe try and get a job on it like a design team for something like this. Rather it might be cool to put on your resume.

Oh yeah, worked on the Lotus iPhone 7 Whoop-dee-doo wank wank. And but working on something like this, there's a ton of engineering that the team wouldn't surprise me if it's a hundred-plus team and they work for years on this. And yeah, just truly remarkable. There's a lot of hardware and software engineering that goes into this.

it's anyway. if you like that, please give it a big thumbs up. And yes, I did injure myself in this. So I'm Trueblood to the teardown Gods beauty and as always, leave comments down below I do try and not read, respond and I pin them and all that sort of stuff.

Usually when the video is is first released I sort of, you know taper off in the days after that. But though I do try and read as many comments and reply to as many as I can. So yeah, if you got any fun on this, please leave it down below as always, catch you next time.

    I am wondering how long it would have taken to load these pcbs. There are so many parts. Even setting up the carriers on the smd loaders would take a while.

    As technicians, we scratch our heads when we encounter minor problems. I wonder how much brain is behind designing this type of gears. Are you sure they all live happy lives, with family not on the verge of being mentally ill?

    God damn, on aliexpress those DC transformer boards are $143 each Input 36-75 volts, output 12v 18 amps.

    Damn those would be handy.

    Used from a Canadian reseller they go for 12400 US dollars per single unit, so a rack of ten would be 124000 US Dollars plus mounting and rack hardware costs

    Ah yes, stolen Nortel kit rebranded as Huawei

    Those fans amd interior are so clean, that thing must be very low-hour.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lover Forever says:

    That was not Chinese engineering, maybe stolen layouts from other companies playing tech sharing 😎

    It's a locator pin for board alignment

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars verdatum says:

    Huawei has been making routers and very high end telecom stuff like this for decades now. A lot of it is potentially stolen or reverse engineered from companies like Cisco. I know more than that, but I'd rather not talk about it in a public comment.

    🤔🤔How did you figured out that it will be expensive like looking inside all the electric component it’s so complicated, How??

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shazad Mohammed says:

    Wow didn't know Huawei made MCUs'. They can give Cisco a run for the money.
