5.1 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. RHUBs are classified into
those with electrical transmission ports and those with no electrical transmission ports. Unless
otherwise specified, this document uses the RHUBs with no electrical transmission ports as an
example.
5.2 Replacing an Optical Module
An optical module provides a port for opto-electronic conversion. This enables the
transmission between the RHUB and BBU3900 through the optical fiber. Replacing the
optical module requires removing the optical fibers. This interrupts all the services.
5.3 Replacing the pRRU
pRRU is an indoor remote radio unit. It processes RF signals. Replacing the pRRU interrupts
all the services carried on it.

5.1 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. RHUBs are classified into
those with electrical transmission ports and those with no electrical transmission ports. Unless
otherwise specified, this document uses the RHUBs with no electrical transmission ports as an
example.

lContact the local Huawei office to deal with the faulty component.
5.2 Replacing an Optical Module
An optical module provides a port for opto-electronic conversion. This enables the
transmission between the RHUB and BBU3900 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. The 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.
NOTE
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 3.2 Powering Off the RHUB.
NOTE
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 5-3.

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, as shown in
Figure 5-4.
Figure 5-4 Removing the optical module
Step 6 Install the new optical module onto the corresponding CPRI port, as shown in Figure 5-5.

Step 8 Power on the RRU according to the instructions in 3.1 Powering On the RHUB.
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.

lThe hardware type is confirmed and a new pRRU is available.
lThe labels and connections of the cables connected to the pRRU are recorded.
lThe following tools are available: an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap and ESD
gloves.
Context
It takes about 5 minutes to replace the pRRU.
NOTE
The pRRU can be installed on a metal pole, wall, or ceiling, and the procedures for replacing the pRRU
are almost the same. The following uses a ceiling-mounted pRRU as an example.
Procedure
Step 1 Instruct the network operator to block the pRRU.
NOTE
The DBS3900 LampSite solution supports immediate block, idle block, and delayed block. Application of
idle block and delayed block produces the same effect as application of immediate block.
lpRRU3901:
–On the UMTS side, log in to the LMT and run the BLK BRD command to block
the RF daughter board of the pRRU.
–On the LTE side, log in to the LMT and run the BLK BRD command to block the
RF daughter board of the pRRU.
lpRRU3902/pRRU3907/pRRU3911/pRRU3916:
–On the UMTS side, log in to the LMT and run the BLK BRD command to block the
pRRU.
–On the LTE side, log in to the LMT and run the BLK BRD command to block the
pRRU.
Step 2 Wear ESD gloves.
NOTE
lTake proper ESD protection measures, such as wearing ESD gloves to prevent electrostatic damage to the
boards, modules, or electronic components.
lA pRRU that has just been powered off has afterheat. Take scald-proof measures when removing the
pRRU.
Step 3 Power off the pRRU. For details, see 4.2 Powering Off the pRRU.
Step 4 Removing the pRRU to be replaced.
1. Record the cable connections.
2. Take insulation measures, and then remove all cables from the pRRU.

Step 5 Install the new pRRU.
1. Install the new pRRU. The installation must be based on different scenarios. For details,
see DBS3900 LampSite Installation Guide.
2. Connect the cables to the pRRU according to the recorded positions.
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.
Step 6 Optional: Instruct the network operator to run MOD AP, change the faulty pRRU WIFI
MAC to the new pRRU WIFI MAC in AC Window, when pRRU with three transmission
ports is configured with Wi-Fi daughter board.
