This chapter describes the RHUB maintenance items, involving the equipment room, equipment,
power system, and grounding system.
3 pRRU Maintenance Items
This chapter describes the pRRU maintenance items, involving equipment and power system.
4 Powering On and Powering Off the RHUB
After the RHUB is powered on, check the indicator status. Power off the RHUB in normal or
emergency mode as required.
5 Powering On and Powering Off the pRRU
After the pRRU is powered on, check the power supply voltage and indicator status. Power off
the pRRU based on the power supply mode.
6 Replacing the RHUB
The RHUB is an indoor convergence unit. It converges multiple pRRUs to the BBU. Replacing
the RHUB interrupts services carried on the serving cell.
7 Replacing an Optical Module
An optical module provides a port for opto-electronic conversion. This enables the transmission
between the RHUB and BBU through the optical fiber. Replacing the optical module requires
removing the optical fibers. This interrupts all the services.
8 Replacing the RF Daughter Board
This section describes the procedures for replacing the RF daughter board of the pRRU. A pRRU
can have two transmission ports or three transmission ports, requiring the same installation
operations. This section uses the pRRU with three transmission ports as an example. Replacing
an RF daughter board interrupts all the services carried on the pRRU.
9 Replacing the Wi-Fi Daughter Board
This section describes the procedures for replacing the Wi-Fi daughter board, which applies only
to a pRRU with three transmission ports.Replacing an Wi-Fi daughter board interrupts all the
services carried on the pRRU.
10 Replacing the pDock Mother Board
This section describes the procedure for replacing the pDock mother board. Replacing the pDock
mother board of a pRRU will interrupt all services carried on the pRRU. A pDock mother board
can have two transmission ports or three transmission ports, requiring the same installation
operations. This section uses the pDock mother board with three transmission ports as an
example.

4 Powering On and Powering Off the RHUB
About This Chapter
After the RHUB is powered on, check the indicator status. Power off the RHUB in normal or
emergency mode as required.
4.1 Powering On the RHUB
The RHUB is powered by AC input.
4.2 Powering Off the RHUB
An RHUB can be powered off in two ways: normal power-off and emergency power-off. You
need to perform a normal power-off in scenarios such as an equipment swap or foreseeable
regional blackout, and you need to perform an emergency power-off in emergencies such as a
fire, smoke, or water damage in indoor scenarios.

Prerequisites
The power cable of the RHUB is not connected to power, that is, the power plug is removed.
Context
NOTICE
The RHUB must be powered on within 7 days after it is unpacked, and the period of its power-
off state cannot exceed 7 days during maintenance.
Procedure
Step 1 Insert the power plug to power on the RHUB.
Step 2 Wait 3 to 5 minutes. Then check the status of the RUN indicator.
If the RUN Indicator Is... It Indicates that... Then...
Steady on There is power input, but the
board is faulty.
Disable the power supply,
rectify the board fault, and
then power on the RHUB
again.
Steady off There is no power input, or an
alarm about the board is
reported.
Disable the power supply and
check the power input again.
If the power input is normal,
rectify the board fault, and
then power on the RHUB
again.
1s on and 1s off The RHUB is running
properly.
End the power-on check task.
0.125s on and 0.125s off The board software is being
loaded.
If the loading is not complete
after 5 minutes, disable the
power supply and check
whether the data in the
configuration file is correct.
Rectify the fault and then
power on the RHUB again.

NOTICE
Powering off the RHUB interrupts services, and therefore perform associated operations
before a power-off.
1. Remove the power plug to disconnect the RHUB with the external power input.
2. If the RHUB is equipped with an external power device, turn off the switch of the
external power device.
lEmergency power-off

5.1 Powering On the pRRU
After the pRRU is powered on, check its running status by observing the indicator status.
Prerequisites
The pRRU and the cables are correctly installed.
Context
NOTICE
The pRRU must be powered on within 7 days after it is unpacked, and the period of its power-
off state cannot exceed 7 days during maintenance.
Procedure
Step 1 Power on the pRRU.
The pRRU can be powered in either of the following modes, which cannot be used at the same
time. It is recommended that you use power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply.
lThe RHUB adopts the PoE power supply to provide power for the pRRU over the CPRI_E0
port.
lThe pRRU can also be powered by the AC/DC adapter connecting to the local AC power
module.
NOTICE
If PoE is used and AC/DC adapter is connected to the AC power module, the pRRU automatically
uses AC/DC adapter to obtain power supply. Note that the pRRU will be powered off and then
powered on again if you pull the plug of the AC/DC adapter power cable to use the PoE for
power supply.
Step 2 Optional: Check the power supply status for the pRRU. This operation is required when AC/
DC power adapter is used.
If... Then...
The input voltage of the pRRU AC/DC
adapter ranges from 100 V AC to 240 V AC
Go to Step 3. Otherwise, replace it. When the
input voltage is within the permissible range,
go to Step 3.
Step 3 Wait 3 to 5 minutes. Then Check the status of the RUN indicator.

6 Replacing the RHUB
The RHUB is an indoor convergence unit. It converges multiple pRRUs to the BBU. Replacing
the RHUB interrupts services carried on the serving cell.
Prerequisites
lA new RHUB is available.
lThe labels and connections of the cables connected to the RHUB are recorded.
lThe following tools are available: a Phillips screwdriver, an ESD wrist strap, and a rubber
mallet.
Context
It takes about 10 minutes to replace the RHUB.
Procedure
lReplace the RHUB installed on a 19-inch rack, in a 19-inch cabinet or in a 19-Inch Shelf.
NOTE
The procedures for replacing the RHUB installed on a 19-inch rack are the same for replacing the

7 Replacing an Optical Module
An optical module provides a port for opto-electronic conversion. This enables the transmission
between the RHUB and BBU through the optical fiber. Replacing the optical module requires
removing the optical fibers. This interrupts all the services.
Prerequisites
lThe number and type of faulty optical modules are confirmed, and new optical modules
are available.
lThe new optical modules to be installed must match CPRI rates.
lThe position for installing an optical module and the cable connection are recorded.
lThe following tools and materials are available: an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, and an
ESD box or bag.
Context
lThe optical modules are connected to the CPRI0 and CPRI1 ports on the RHUB panel.
lAn optical module or CPRI fiber optic cable cannot be inserted into or removed from this
CPRI port when the power supply is connected.
lReplacing an optical module involves removing an optical fiber and the faulty optical
module, installing a new optical module, connecting the optical fiber to the optical module,
and recovering the links. The operation takes about 10 minutes.
NOTICE
Take proper ESD protection measures, such as wearing an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves to
prevent electrostatic damage to the boards, modules, or electronic components.
Procedure
Step 1 Wear ESD gloves.
Step 2 Record the optical module and fiber connections.
Step 3 Power off the RHUB according to the instructions in 4.2 Powering Off the RHUB.

CAUTION
After removing the optical fiber from the optical module, do not look directly at the optical
modules without eye protection.
Step 4 Press the latch on the connector of the optical fiber connector, and remove the connector from
the faulty optical module, use the dust-proof cap to protect the optical fiber, as shown in Figure
7-1.
Figure 7-1 Removing the optical fiber
Step 5 Turn the ring-pull on the faulty optical module outwards. Hold the ring-pull and take the faulty
optical module out of the slot to remove it from the CPRI0 or CPRI1 port.
Step 6 Connect a new optical module to the corresponding CPRI port, as shown in Figure 7-2.
Figure 7-2 Removing the optical module
Step 7 Remove the dust-proof caps from the optical module and optical fiber, and connect the optical
fiber connector to the new optical module.

Step 9 Check whether CPRI signal transmission recovers by observing the CPRI indicator on the RHUB
panel.
If... Then...
The CPRI indicator is green CPRI signal transmission recovers and the
optical fiber replacement is successful.
The CPRI indicator is red or in another color CPRI signal transmission is abnormal. Check
whether the optical fiber and optical module
are securely installed.
Step 10 Take off the ESD gloves and pack up all the tools.
