Option B: Fiber Pass-Through Connector
NOTE: Use the following procedure to install the fiber cables using a Fiber Pass-Through Connector.
• If the PRU that you are installing has a Hardened Multi-Fiber Optic Connector, follow the
procedure in "Option A: Hardened Multi-Fiber Optic Connector” on page 55
• If the PRU that you are installing has a legacy ProAx Connector, follow the procedure in
"Option C: ProAx Connector (Legacy AC-Powered PRUs)” on page 65.
NOTE: The graphic shown in this procedure depict an AC-powered PRU. However, the Fiber 1 and
Fiber 2 connectors on a DC-powered PRU are in the same location and use the same procedure
as the AC-powered PRU to install fiber cables using a Fiber Pass-Through Connector.
UsethefollowingproceduretoinstallthefibercablesusingtheProAxconnector:

NOTE: In the following steps, the RF cables and connectors are referred to as MOD N TX0/RX0 and
as MOD N TX1/RX1 where N equals A, B, C, or D.
NOTE: When installing RF Modules, populate the RF Modules from highest frequency band to lowest
within the Remote Unit chassis. Likewise for power output, populate from the bottom bay to
the top; higher output to lower output. That is, for a deployment with 2100 40W, 1900 40W,
850 20W and 700 20W MIMO, install the RF Modules as follows:
• 2100 40W RF Module in Bay A

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION! This is restricted access equipment and only qualified service personnel should service and
operate this equipment using appropriate tools.
CAUTION! Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using
electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical
equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
CAUTION! Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing of patch cords and pigtails without
severe bends. Fiber optic patch cords or pigtails may be permanently damaged if bent or
curved to a radius of less than 2 inches (5.1 cm).
CAUTION! Exterior surfaces of the Prism Remote Unit may be hot. Use caution during servicing.
CAUTION! Service personnel must confirm that the perimeter gasket and door-to-door gaskets are in
place when closing the Remote Unit doors after servicing.
CAUTION! This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation can
seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser radiation may
result. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood
MUST be immediately placed over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to
avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents
dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector.
CAUTION! This system is an RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain 3 foot (91.4 cm)
minimum clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Wherever possible, shut
down the RAN before servicing the antenna.

GUARD AGAINST DAMAGE FROM ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE
CAUTION! Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage,
always wear an ESD wrist strap when working with a Prism Remote Unit or when handling any
of its components—including the RF Modules. Connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap
to an earth ground source before touching the Prism Remote Unit or any of its components.
Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the Prism Remote Unit and its
components.
CAUTION! Place Prism RF Modules in anti-static packing material when transporting or storing them.
UNPACK AND INSPECT THE RF MODULE
1Inspecttheexterioroftheshippingcontainer(s)forevidenceofroughhandlingthatmayhave
damagedthecomponentsinthecontainer.
2Unpackeachcontainerwhilecarefullycheckingthecontentsfordamageandverifywiththepacking
slip.
3Ifdamageisfoundorpartsaremissing,fileaclaimwiththecommercialcarrierandnotify
CommScopeCustomerService(see"DCCSGlobalTechnicalSupport”onpage119).Savethe
damagedcartonsforinspectionbythecarrier.
4Saveallshippingcontainersforuseiftheequipmentrequiresshipmentatafuturedate.
CAUTION! Handle the RF Module with care during installation. Be especially careful to not damage the
thermal-interface material (TIM), which is attached to the LPA, DARTs, and/or Motherboard
with TX/RX boards. If the TIM is damaged, the LPA can overheat. Before installing the RF
Module, check to see if the heatsink material is gouged or cracked. If the TIM is damaged, do
not install the RF Module and contact CommScope for assistance (see "DCCSGlobalTechnical
Support”onpage119 for contact information).
CAUTION! If the thermal-interface material is damaged, the installation and use of the RF Module may
void the warranty of the RF Module.

CAUTION! Service personnel must confirm that the perimeter gasket and door-to-door gaskets are in
place when closing the Remote Unit doors after servicing.
CAUTION! If the PRU door was allowed to snap closed, RF output from an HDM RF Module may be
disabled for up to three minutes. Any alarms generated immediately following the
opening/closing of the PRU Doors, such as Door Open, RF Power Low, System VSWR Fault, and
LPA VSWR Fault, automatically clear once the RF has recovered. If alarms do not clear after
three minutes, please contact CommScope for technical support; see "DCCSGlobalTechnical

ANNUAL FAN CHECKUP
CAUTION! A mechanical hazard exists due to rotating fan blades. Keep hands and fingers away from fan
blades during removal of Fan Module. Use only the designated pull areas to disengage the fan
tray. Allow adequate time for fans to spin down prior to removal.
ChecktheFanModuleonanannualbasis.Inspecttheintakeandexhaustventsforobstructionsand/or
debris.Ifobstructionsand/ordebrisisobserved,removefromexteriorofsystemasnecessary.
POTENTIAL FAN ALARMS

•FanUnderSpeed(fwuRmtFanUnderSpeedFault)
•TemperatureHigh(fwuRmtOverTempFault)
•DARTTemperatureHigh(fwuRmtDARTOverTempFault)
•LPAOverTemperature(fwuRmtLPAHighTempFault)
REPLACING THE FAN MODULE
CAUTION! The rotating fan blades create a hazardous environment. Keep hands and fingers away from
the fan blades. Use only the designated pull areas to disengage the Fan Tray. Allow adequate
time for fans to spin down prior to removal.
CAUTION! Low voltage electrical shock hazard!
• Do not touch bare conductors or other potentially energized parts.
• Use appropriate safety equipment approved for use on electrical installations.
• Ensure fan module exterior of electrical connector and immediate area are clean and dry
prior to disconnection.
• Do not perform service during or while conditions of impending rain or snow are observed.
NOTE: You do not need to disconnect the power cabling from the Prism Remote Unit to replace the
Fan Module.
NOTE: If the PRU has an Enhanced Fan Shroud, refer to the FlexWave Prism Remote Unit Enhanced
Fan Shroud Installation Guide (TECP-77-235) for information on how to replace the Fan
Module.
