RRU Hardware Maintenance Guide 5 Replacing an Optical Module Issue 16 (2015-03-23) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 40 5 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. Disconnecting the optical fibers interrupts the transmission of CPRI signals. Prerequisites  Confirm the type of a faulty optical module and do as follows: − On the GSM side, run the DSP BTSOPTMODULE command on the BSC. − On the UMTS side, if NodeB V200R013 or a version before is used, run the DSP OPTMODULE command on the NodeB. − On the UMTS side, if NodeB V200R014 or a later version is used, run the DSP SFP command on the NodeB. − On the LTE side, rRun the DSP SFP command on the eNodeB. − Confirm the type of the faulty optical module according to the 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
RRU Hardware Maintenance Guide 5 Replacing an Optical Module Issue 16 (2015-03-23) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 41 − 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 RRU 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 BBU side instead and obtain a new optical module of the same type. For the detailed querying method, see the DBS3900 Site 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 an RRU.  If the optical module, cable, or optical cable is removed and then connected to the same CPRI port of the RRU, the optical module, cable, or optical cable is hot swappable. If the optical module, cable, or optical cable is removed and then connected to a different CPRI port of the RRU, the optical module, cable, or optical cable is still hot swappable, but you need to perform either of the following operations to manually reset the RRU to prevent service interruption. − For a NodeB, eNodeB, and eGBTS, run the RST BRD command to reset the RRU. − For a GBTS, run the RST BTSBRD command to reset the RRU.  It takes about five minutes to replace an optical module on 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 ESD gloves. Take proper ESD protection measures, for example, wear ESD gloves, to prevent electrostatic damage to the boards, modules, or electronic components. Step 2 Power off the RRU according to the instructions in 3.2 Powering Off an RRU. Step 3 Loosen the screws on the cover plate of the RRU cabling cavity using an M4 Phillips screwdriver, and then open the cover plate. Step 4 Record the connections of the optical module and optical fibers. Step 5 Press the latch on the optical fiber connector, and then remove the connector from the faulty optical module.

RRU Hardware Maintenance Guide 6 Adding RRUs Issue 16 (2015-03-23) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 43 6 Adding RRUs This chapter describes the procedure and precautions for adding RRUs with different exteriors on a pole. Prerequisites The hoist clamp of the main bracket is secured properly.  Do not stand the RRU upright because the RF ports cannot support the weight of the RRU.  Place a foam pad or cardboard under the RRU to protect the RRU housing from damage during the installation. Context  A maximum of two, three, four, or six RRUs can be installed on a pole. When four or more than four RRUs are added on a pole, the RRUs are installed vertically at different levels and in different directions, and the length of the pole must be greater than or equal to 1.5 m (4.92 ft).  Install RRUs with the same exterior by referring to the section "Installing Three or More RRUs"in a related RRU installation guide.  This chapter describes the procedure for adding RRUs with different exteriors and uses the procedure for adding five blade RRUs to a non-blade RRU in a live network as an example. Procedure Step 1 Optional: When the non-blade RRUs are installed in standard mode in the live network, change the standard mode to the side-mounted mode, as shown in Figure 6-1. 1. Instruct the network management system (M2000/U2000) administrator to block the RRUs.  On the UMTS side, log in to the LMT and run the BLK BRD command to block the RRUs.  On the LTE side, log in to the LMT and run the BLK BRD command to block the RRUs.
