RRU3008 (DC) V2 Hardware Maintenance Guide

3.1 Powering On an RRU


This describes how to power on an RRU and how to check the running status of the RRU by observing the status of RRU LEDs.

Prerequisite
l l The RRU hardware is installed and RRU cable connections are secure. The input voltage of the RRU ranges from -36 V DC to -57 V DC.

Context

CAUTION
After you unpack an RRU, you must power on it within 24 hours. If you power off the RRU for maintenance, you must restore power to the RRU within 24 hours.

Procedure
Step 1 Power on the RRU.

DANGER
Do not look into the optical module without eye protection after the RRU is powered on. Step 2 Keep the RRU running for three to five minutes to check the status of RRU LEDs. For details, see RRU LEDs.
NOTE

If RRUs are cascaded, check the status of all RRU LEDs.

Step 3 Take corresponding actions based on the LED status. If ... The RRU is working properly The RRU is faulty Then ... End the power-on task. Rectify the fault, and then go to Step 1.

----End

3.2 Powering Off an RRU


The procedure for powering off an RRU varies with the actual condition, for example, in a normal situation or an emergency.

3 Powering On and Off an RRU

Procedure
Step 1 Determine whether the RRU is powered off in a normal situation or in an emergency. If ... You must power off the RRU before an equipment swap or an anticipated regional blackout You must power off the RRU in an emergency such as a fire, smoke, or water damage Then ... Go to Step 2 to power off the RRU in a normal situation. Go to Step 3 to power off the RRU in an emergency.

Step 2 Set the corresponding circuit breaker on the auxiliary power device for the RRU to OFF.
NOTE

If RRUs are cascaded, consider the impacts of power-off operations on lower-level RRUs to prevent service interruption.

Step 3 Shut off the external input power of the auxiliary power device for the RRU. If time permits, set the corresponding circuit breaker on the device to OFF. ----End

Prerequisite
l l l

Replacing an RRU

The RRU, a remote radio unit, forms a distributed base station with the BBU.

The electronic labels of boards or modules to be replaced are determined offline on the M2000 or online on the LMT to determine the model of the boards or modules. Tools and materials, such as an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, M4 screwdrivers, M6 screwdrivers, waterproof tape, and insulation tape, are ready. The quantity and model of RRUs to be replaced are confirmed, and new RRUs of the same quantity and model are ready.

Procedure
Step 1 Power off the RRU by referring to 3.2 Powering Off an RRU. Step 2 Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves.

CAUTION
Take proper ESD protection measures, for example, wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, to prevent electrostatic damage to the boards, modules, or electronic components. Step 3 Loosen the protection screw on the cover plate of the RRU cabling cavity using an M4 Phillips screwdriver, and then push the handle outwards to open the cover plate. Step 4 Record all the cable connections on the panel of the module to be replaced. Step 5 Disconnect cables from the ports in the cabling cavity and on the bottom panel. Step 6 Loosen the captive screws on the two hoist clamps on the main mounting bracket using an M4 screwdriver, as shown in Figure 4-1.
NOTE

In scenarios where RRUs are installed in centralized mode, the RRU in the middle can be removed without removing the two RRUs on its right and left sides, in the same procedure as that for removing a single RRU.

4 Replacing an RRU

Figure 4-3 Supporting the RRU bottom

CAUTION
When removing the RRU, hold the RRU handle with one hand and support the RRU bottom with the other hand. Step 8 Tighten the captive screws on the two hoist clamps on the main mounting bracket to 1.4 Nm (12.39 lbf.in.). Install a new RRU and then waterproof the RRU. Step 9 Reconnect all the cables to be connected to the RRU, and verify that vacant cable troughs in the cabling cavity are blocked by waterproof blocks. Step 10 Tighten the protection screw on the cover plate to 1.4 Nm (12.39 lbf.in.) using an M4 Phillips screwdriver, and then close the cover plate. Step 11 Power on the RRU by referring to 3.1 Powering On an RRU. Step 12 Check the operating status of the new RRU by observing the status of RRU LEDs. For details on the status of LEDs, see RRU LEDs. Step 13 Take off the ESD wrist strap or gloves, and then pack up all the tools. ----End

Follow-up Procedure
l l l Place the replaced RRU into the ESD box or bag. Then, place the ESD box or bag into a carton padded with foam or into the packing box of the new RRU. Fill in the fault form to record detailed information of the replaced components. Contact the local Huawei office to handle faulty components.

Replacing an Optical Module

An optical module implements optical-electrical conversion, enabling optical transmission between an RRU and other devices. You must disconnect optical fibers from an optical module before replacing the optical module. Replacing the optical fibers disrupts the transmission of CPRI signals.

The model and quantity of faulty optical modules are confirmed, and new optical modules of the same quantity and model are ready. Tools and materials, such as an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, M4 screwdrivers, and an ESD box or bag, are ready.

Context
l l l Optical modules are inserted into CPRI0 and CPRI1 ports on an RRU. Optical modules are hot-swappable. It takes about five minutes to replace an optical module of the RRU, which involves disconnecting optical fibers, removing the faulty optical module, inserting a new optical module, reconnecting the optical fibers, and waiting for CPRI links to resume.

Procedure
Step 1 Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves.

CAUTION
Take proper ESD protection measures, for example, wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, to prevent electrostatic damage to the boards, modules, or electronic components. Step 2 Loosen the protection screw on the cover plate of the RRU cabling cavity using an M4 Phillips screwdriver, and then push the handle outwards to open the cover plate. Step 3 Record the connections of the optical module and optical fibers.

5 Replacing an Optical Module

RRU3008 (DC) V2 Hardware Maintenance Guide

If ... The faulty optical module is inserted into CPRI0 port and cables are connected to the DB15 port In other cases

Then ... Execute Step 4.

Execute Step 5.

Step 4 Remove the DB15 connector. Step 5 Press the latch on the optical fiber connector, and then remove the connector from the faulty optical module.

WARNING
Do not look into the optical fiber or optical module without eye protection after the optical fiber is removed from the optical module. Step 6 Turn the puller on the faulty optical module outwards, and then pull the puller until the optical module is removed from the RRU. Step 7 Prepare the optical module of the same model as the faulty optical module according to the label on the module. Install a new optical module onto the RRU.
NOTE

The optical modules to be installed must match CPRI rates.

Step 8 Insert the optical fiber connector into the new optical module. Step 9 Check the transmission of CPRI signals by observing the status of CPRI0 and CPRI1 LEDs. For details on the status of LEDs, see RRU LEDs. Step 10 Reconnect the cables in the cabling cavity. If ... Cables are disconnected from the DB15 port previously In other cases Then ... Execute Step 11. Execute Step 12.

Step 11 Insert the DB15 connector. Step 12 Tighten the protection screw on the cover plate to 1.4 Nm (12.39 lbf.in.) using an M4 Phillips screwdriver, and then close the cover plate. Step 13 Take off the ESD wrist strap or gloves, and then pack up all the tools. ----End
