5 Replacing an Optical Module

An optical module implements optical-electrical conversion, enabling optical transmission

between a DRH and other devices. You must disconnect optical fibers from an optical module

before replacing the optical module. Disconnecting the optical fibers interrupts the

transmission of CPRI signals.

Prerequisites

 Confirm the type of a faulty optical module and do as follows:

− Log in to the WebLMT or M2000 and run the DSP SFP command.

− Confirm the type of the faulty optical module according to the Transmission Rate,

Wavelength, and Transmission mode fields in the query result and obtain an optical

module of the same type. Figure 5-1 shows the label on the optical module.

Figure 5-1 Label on the optical module

(1) Peak rate

(2) Wavelength

(3) Transmission mode

− If the software version does not support query of the type of the optical module by

using an MML command, obtain all types of optical modules.

− If a fault in the optical module on the DRH side causes disconnection of the CPRI

link, the MML command to query the type of the fault cannot be used. In this case,

query the type of the corresponding optical module on the DCU side instead and

obtain a new optical module of the same type. For the detailed querying method, see

the DCU3900 Hardware Maintenance Guide.

 The following tools and materials are available: ESD gloves, M4 Phillips screwdrivers,

and an ESD box or bag.

Context

 Optical modules are inserted into CPRI ports on a DRH.

 Optical modules are hot-swappable when the same CPRI ports are used.

Do not look into the optical fiber or optical module without eye protection after the optical

fiber is removed from the optical module.

Step 5 Lower the puller on the faulty optical module, and then pull the puller until the optical module

is removed from the DRH.

Step 6 Choose the optical module of the same type as the faulty optical module according to the label

on the module. Install the new optical module into the DRH.

The optical modules to be installed must match CPRI rates.

Step 7 Insert the optical fiber connector into the new optical module.

Step 8 Check the operating status of the new DRH by observing the status of DRH indicators. For

details about the status of indicators, see section "DRH Indicators" in the DRH Hardware

Description.
