2.1.5 Skills and Requirements for Onsite Personnel


Onsite personnel must be qualified and trained. Before performing any operation, onsite
personnel must be familiar with correct operation methods and safety precautions.
Before the installation, pay attention to the following items:
l

The customer's technical engineers must be trained by Huawei and be familiar with the
proper installation and operation methods.

The number of onsite personnel depends on the engineering schedule and installation
environment. Generally, only three to five onsite personnel are necessary.

2.2 Application Scenarios


Multiple cabinets can be configured and installed for the BTS3900A to meet the requirements
for different RF unit configurations, backup power capacity, and space for customer equipment.
A BTS3900A can be configured with only RFUs or both RFUs and RRUs depending on different
scenarios.

2.2.1 Application Scenarios of a BTS3900A Configured with RFUs


Only
When only RFUs are configured, different configurations of cabinets can be used for the
BTS3900A in the 110 V AC/220 V AC power supply scenario and -48 V DC power supply
scenario.

Cabinet Configuration Principles


l

A BTS3900A site can be configured with a maximum of 12 RFUs.

The maximum cabinet configuration of a BTS3900A site is 1 APM30H+1 TMC11H+2


RFCs+2 IBBS200Ds/IBBS200Ts. There must be a clearance of 40 mm (1.57 in.) between
the cabinets installed side by side.

The RFC can only be stacked below the APM30H or TMC11H.

The IBBS200D or IBBS200T can be stacked only with the IBBS200D, IBBS200T, or
TMC11H. The IBBS200D or IBBS200T can only be stacked below the TMC11H.

When a site is configured with over six RFUs and only one IBBS200D or IBBS200T, the
IBBS200D or IBBS200T must be configured with at least two groups of 92 Ah storage
batteries to avoid overcurrent of a single battery group during discharging.

(Ver.D_C)

If an auxiliary cabinet such as the IBBS200D/IBBS200T or TMC11H is required during


initial site deployment, the auxiliary cabinet is positioned on the left side of the basic
cabinet. If both the battery cabinet and transmission cabinet are required, the battery cabinet
is positioned on the left of the basic cabinet, and the transmission cabinet is stacked on the
battery cabinet or positioned on the left of the battery cabinet.

During base station deployment, space must be reserved for capacity expansion in the
future. Unless otherwise stated, during capacity expansion the original cabinets remain in
the original positions and new cabinets are added to the right of original cabinets. In a
special scenario, new cabinets can be added to the left of original cabinets.

When a BTS3900A is configured with two BBUs and both BBUs are connected to RFUs,
the BBUs must be interconnected.

A BTS3900A configured with one APM30H and one RFC is configured with one BBU by
default. It can be configured with a maximum of two BBUs, and the power consumption
of all BBU boards cannot exceed 1000 W. This principle applies to a new or expansion
scenario.

Cabinet Configurations of a Single- or Dual-mode Base Station


A single- or dual-mode base station is configured with only one BBU, and the BBU is installed
in the APM30H or TMC11H. When seven to twelve RFUs need to be configured, two RFCs are
required.
Table 2-2 describes the cabinet configurations of a single- or dual-mode base station with
different backup power capacities, space for customer equipment, and carrier configurations.

2.2.2 Application Scenarios of a BTS3900A Configured with RFUs


and RRUs
When RFUs and RRUs are configured, different configurations of cabinets can be used for the
BTS3900A in the 110 V AC/220 V AC power supply scenario and 48 V DC power supply
scenario.

Cabinet Configuration Principles


l

A single BTS3900A can be configured with a maximum of six RFUs and nine RRUs.
Therefore, more than one BTS3900As must be deployed if more than six RFUs and nine
RRUs are required.

When a BTS3900A is configured with both RFUs and RRUs, a DCDU-12B is needed to
be installed in RFC, the maximum configuration of RRUs is six RRUs of 2*60 W and three
RRUs of 2*40 W.

When both the RFU and RRU support the GSM mode, the BBU3900 must be configured
with a GTMUb. In addition, the RFUs supporting the GSM mode are connected to the
GTMUb, and the RRUs supporting the GSM mode are connected to the UBRI.

Cabinet Configurations of a Single- or Dual-Mode Base Station


A single- or dual-mode base station is configured with only one BBU, which is installed in the
APM30H or TMC11H.

Context
From MBTS V100R009C00 onwards, the name of the element management system (EMS) is
changed from M2000 to U2000.

Procedure
Step 1 Optional: If a replaced RFU is not faulty, disable its maximum output power locking for TX
channels before storing it in the spare parts inventory.
NOTE

l If a replaced RFU is faulty, its maximum output power locking for TX channels does not need to be
disabled.
l If the maximum output power has not been set for the RFU, the maximum output power for TX channels
is the maximum transmit power of the hardware.

1.

Check the maximum output power has been locked for TX channels of the new RFU, and
record the result.
l Log in to the NodeB through the LMT. Run the DSP RRU command to query the cabinet
number, subrack number, slot number, and TX channel number of the RFU. Run the
DSP TXBRANCH command and set the cabinet number, subrack number, slot number,
and TX channel number of the RFU to check the hardware maximum output power for
TX channels of the RFU and whether the maximum output power has been locked.
l Log in to the eNodeB through the LMT. Run the DSP RRU command to query the
cabinet number, subrack number, slot number, and TX channel number of the RFU.
Run the DSP TXBRANCH command and set the cabinet number, subrack number,
slot number, and TX channel number of the RFU to check the hardware maximum
output power for TX channels of the RFU and whether the maximum output power has
been locked.
l Log in to the GBTS through the SMT. In the left pane of the Site Maintenance
Terminal System window, click Site. In the right pane of the window, double-click
Lock RXU Traffic Capability. Click the Query Config tab. On the displayed tab page,
select the target RFU.
If...

Then...

The maximum output power has been


locked for TX channels

Go to Step 1.2.

The maximum output power has not been


locked for TX channels

Go to 2.

NOTE

The maximum output power of some RFUs cannot be queried by running the DSP TXBRANCH
command. If the value of the maximum output power invalid in the query result for an RFU, the RFU
does not support the maximum output power locking.

2.

Set the maximum output power of the RFU to 0 to disable the maximum output power
locking.
l Log in to the NodeB through the LMT. Run the LOC RRUTC command to disable the
maximum output power locking for TX channels. Run the RST BRD command to reset

the RFU. Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to check whether the maximum output
power of each RFU is set successfully.
l Log in to the eNodeB through the LMT. Run the LOC RRUTC command to disable
the maximum output power locking for TX channels. Run the RST BRD command to
reset the RFU. Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to check whether the maximum
output power of each RFU is set successfully.
l Log in to the GBTS through the SMT. In the left pane of the Site Maintenance
Terminal System window, click Site. In the right pane of the window, double-click
Lock RXU Traffic Capability. Click the Config tab. On the displayed tab page, set
the parameters to disable the maximum output power locking for TX channels, and click
Set. Reset the RFU to make the configuration take effect.
NOTE

If there is more than one RFU, reset the TX channels of each RFU separately. If RFUs are cascaded,
perform the operations from the lowest-level RFU to the highest-level RFU to minimize the impact
on services carried by the RFUs.

Step 2 Ask the M2000/U2000 administrator to block the RFU.


l On the NodeB, run the UBL BRD command to block the RFU.
l On the eNodeB, run the UBL BRD command to block the RFU.
l On the BSC, run the SET GTRXADMSTAT command and set ADMSTAT to LOCK to
block all carriers of the RFU.
NOTE

l Block the RFU before replacing the module or separately replacing the RF jumper.
l If RFU to be replaced works in multiple modes, block the RFU in all modes it supports.
l An RFU working in GSM mode cannot be blocked, and therefore you can block only the carriers of
the RFU in GSM mode.

Step 3 Verify that TX channels of the RFU are disabled. In this case, the ACT indicator on the RFU
panel is blinking (on for 1s and off for 1s).
Step 4 Power off the RFC.
If...

Then...

RFC(Ver.B)

Switch off all circuit breakers on the DCDU-01 in the RFC.

RFC(Ver.C)

Switch off all circuit breakers on the DCDU-11A in the RFC.

Step 5 Power off the TMC.


If...

Then...

TMC11H(Ver.B) Switch off all circuit breakers on the DCDU-03B or DCDU-03C in the
TMC.
TMC11H(Ver.C) Switch off all circuit breakers on the DCDU-11B or DCDU-11C in the
TMC.

2.8.5 Replacing the RFU


This section describes the procedure and precautions for replacing the RFU.

Prerequisites
The following tools and materials are available: a torque wrench, an ESD wrist strap or a pair
of ESD gloves, a Phillips screwdriver, an ESD box or bag, and dustfree cloth.

Context
l

RFUs are divided into the DRFU, GRFU V1, GRFU V2, GRFU V2a, MRFU V1, MRFU
V2, MRFU V2a, WRFU, and LRFU.

If the replaced MRFU V2 (P900M) is not faulty, disable its maximum output power locking
for TX channels before storing it in the spare parts inventory.

Replacing an RFU interrupts services carried by the RFU.

Replacing an RFU takes about 6 to 10 minutes.

The GATM and Bias-Tee are configured in a cabinet that is configured with DRFUs. When
DRFUs are removed, the GATM and Bias-Tee also need to be replaced. For details about
how to remove the GATM and Bias-Tee, see 2.6.6 (Optional) Removing the GATM and
Bias-Tee.

A handle is used during the replacement. The handle is placed on the lower left side of the
document holder on the cabinet door, as shown in Figure 2-82.

An FE/GE Ethernet cable is a shielded straight-through cable.

When the TMC11H uses the -48 V DC power supply, the connection and routing of the
FE/GE Ethernet cable in this cabinet are the same as the cable connection and routing in
the APM30H that is shown in Figure 2-148.

Procedure
Step 1 Route the FE/GE Ethernet cable through a cable bag into the cabinet.
Step 2 Install a ground clip for the FE/GE cable in a proper position within 1 m from the cable outlet
of the cabinet, as shown in Figure 2-147.
1.

Determine the position for grounding the FE/GE cable, and strip the sheath off the cable
for about 40 mm to expose the shield layer.

2.

Loosen the screws on the ground clip, and route the FE/GE cable through the clip.

3.

Make the shield layer of the FE/GE cable in full contact with the ground clip, and tighten
the M4 screws on the clip until the tightening torque reaches 1.2 Nm.

Single-mode optical modules are labeled as SM and multi-mode optical modules are labeled
as MM.

The puller of a single-mode optical module is blue. The puller of a multi-mode optical
module is black or gray.

The optical modules to be installed must match the rates of their corresponding ports.

An FE/GE fiber optic cable has an LC connector at one end and an FC connector, SC
connector, or LC connector at the other end.

SFP0 and FE/GE0 ports on the LMPT are used for one GE input. Therefore, they are not
used simultaneously.

SFP1 and FE/GE1 ports on the LMPT are used for another GE input. Therefore, they are
not used simultaneously.

The method of installing FE/GE fiber optic cables in an APM30H is the same as the method
of installing FE/GE fiber optic cables in a TMC11H. The following describes the procedure
for installing an FE/GE fiber optic cable in an APM30H.

NOTICE
An optical module may deteriorate if it is exposed to the air for more than 20 minutes. Therefore,
you must insert a fiber optic cable into an unpacked optical module within 20 minutes.

Procedure
Step 1 Install an optical module, as shown in Figure 2-149.
1.

Remove the dustproof cap from the corresponding FE/GE optical port on the corresponding
BBU board.

2.

Remove the dustproof cap from the optical module.

Failure Type

Handling Measure

Failure in the power


supply to a board in
the BBU

Check as follows:
1. Remove the board, and check whether any pin of the
slot on the backplane is bent, broken, or missing.
Replace the subrack if necessary.
2. Insert the board into the subrack, and check the status
of indicators on the board.
3. If the indicators indicate an exception, remove the
board, insert it into a vacant slot holding the boards of
the same type, and check the status of the indicators.
l If the board works properly, the original slot is
faulty. In this case, replace the subrack.
l If the fault persists, the board is faulty. In this case,
replace the board.

Failure in the power


supply to other
components in the
cabinet

Check as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block
that connects power supply to the component is on. Skip
this step and go to step 2 if this component does not use
any fuse terminal block.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the
fuse is faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according
to the instructions in Replacing a Fuse.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go
to step 2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the
component.
l If the input power is normal, replace the component.
l If the input power is abnormal, check whether the
power cable for the component is connected
securely. If the power cable is not securely
connected, turn off the circuit breaker for the
component (if there is no circuit breaker for the
component, remove the connector from the power
unit) and reconnect the power cable. If the power
cable is securely connected, the protector (such as
circuit breaker or fuse) on the component may be
damaged. In this case, replace the damaged
protector. If the protector cannot be replaced,
replace the upper-level power distribution
component.

3.1.5 Skills and Requirements for Onsite Personnel


Onsite personnel must be qualified and trained. Before performing any operation, onsite
personnel must be familiar with correct operation methods and safety precautions.
Before the installation, pay attention to the following items:
l

The customer's technical engineers must be trained by Huawei and be familiar with the
proper installation and operation methods.

The number of onsite personnel depends on the engineering schedule and installation
environment. Generally, only three to five onsite personnel are necessary.

3.2 Application Scenarios


Multiple cabinets can be configured and installed for the BTS3900A to meet the requirements
for different RF unit configurations, backup power capacity, and space for customer equipment.
A BTS3900A can be configured with only RFUs or both RFUs and RRUs depending on different
scenarios.

3.2.1 Application Scenarios of a BTS3900A Configured with RFUs


Only
When only RFUs are configured, different configurations of cabinets can be used for the
BTS3900A in the 110 V AC/220 V AC power supply scenario and -48 V DC power supply
scenario.

Cabinet Configuration Principles


l

A BTS3900A site can be configured with a maximum of 12 RFUs.

The maximum cabinet configuration of a BTS3900A site is 1 APM30H+1 TMC11H+2


RFCs+2 IBBS200Ds/IBBS200Ts. There must be a clearance of 40 mm (1.57 in.) between
the cabinets installed side by side.

The RFC can only be stacked below the APM30H or TMC11H.

The IBBS200D or IBBS200T can be stacked only with the IBBS200D, IBBS200T, or
TMC11H. The IBBS200D or IBBS200T can only be stacked below the TMC11H.

When a site is configured with over six RFUs and only one IBBS200D or IBBS200T, the
IBBS200D or IBBS200T must be configured with at least two groups of 92 Ah storage
batteries to avoid overcurrent of a single battery group during discharging.

(Ver.D_B)

If an auxiliary cabinet such as the IBBS200D/IBBS200T or TMC11H is required during


initial site deployment, the auxiliary cabinet is positioned on the left side of the basic
cabinet. If both the battery cabinet and transmission cabinet are required, the battery cabinet
is positioned on the left of the basic cabinet, and the transmission cabinet is stacked on the
battery cabinet or positioned on the left of the battery cabinet.

During base station deployment, space must be reserved for capacity expansion in the
future. Unless otherwise stated, during capacity expansion the original cabinets remain in
the original positions and new cabinets are added to the right of original cabinets. In a
special scenario, new cabinets can be added to the left of original cabinets.

When a BTS3900A is configured with two BBUs and both BBUs are connected to RFUs,
the BBUs must be interconnected.

A BTS3900A configured with one APM30H and one RFC is configured with one BBU by
default. It can be configured with a maximum of two BBUs, and the power consumption
of all BBU boards cannot exceed 1000 W. This principle applies to a new or expansion
scenario.

Cabinet Configurations of a Single- or Dual-mode Base Station


A single- or dual-mode base station is configured with only one BBU, and the BBU is installed
in the APM30H or TMC11H. When seven to twelve RFUs need to be configured, two RFCs are
required.
Table 3-2 describes the cabinet configurations of a single- or dual-mode base station with
different backup power capacities, space for customer equipment, and carrier configurations.

3.2.2 Application Scenarios of a BTS3900A Configured with RFUs


and RRUs
When RFUs and RRUs are configured, different configurations of cabinets can be used for the
BTS3900A in the 110 V AC/220 V AC power supply scenario and 48 V DC power supply
scenario.

Cabinet Configuration Principles


l

A single BTS3900A can be configured with a maximum of six RFUs and nine RRUs.
Therefore, more than one BTS3900As must be deployed if more than six RFUs and nine
RRUs are required.

When a BTS3900A is configured with both RFUs and RRUs, a DCDU-12B is needed to
be installed in RFC, the maximum configuration of RRUs is six RRUs of 2*60 W and three
RRUs of 2*40 W.

When both the RFU and RRU support the GSM mode, the BBU3900 must be configured
with a GTMUb. In addition, the RFUs supporting the GSM mode are connected to the
GTMUb, and the RRUs supporting the GSM mode are connected to the UBRI.

Cabinet Configurations of a Single- or Dual-Mode Base Station


A single- or dual-mode base station is configured with only one BBU, which is installed in the
APM30H or TMC11H.

Context
From MBTS V100R009C00 onwards, the name of the element management system (EMS) is
changed from M2000 to U2000.

Procedure
Step 1 Optional: If a replaced RFU is not faulty, disable its maximum output power locking for TX
channels before storing it in the spare parts inventory.
NOTE

l If a replaced RFU is faulty, its maximum output power locking for TX channels does not need to be
disabled.
l If the maximum output power has not been set for the RFU, the maximum output power for TX channels
is the maximum transmit power of the hardware.

1.

Check the maximum output power has been locked for TX channels of the new RFU, and
record the result.
l Log in to the NodeB through the LMT. Run the DSP RRU command to query the cabinet
number, subrack number, slot number, and TX channel number of the RFU. Run the
DSP TXBRANCH command and set the cabinet number, subrack number, slot number,
and TX channel number of the RFU to check the hardware maximum output power for
TX channels of the RFU and whether the maximum output power has been locked.
l Log in to the eNodeB through the LMT. Run the DSP RRU command to query the
cabinet number, subrack number, slot number, and TX channel number of the RFU.
Run the DSP TXBRANCH command and set the cabinet number, subrack number,
slot number, and TX channel number of the RFU to check the hardware maximum
output power for TX channels of the RFU and whether the maximum output power has
been locked.
l Log in to the GBTS through the SMT. In the left pane of the Site Maintenance
Terminal System window, click Site. In the right pane of the window, double-click
Lock RXU Traffic Capability. Click the Query Config tab. On the displayed tab page,
select the target RFU.
If...

Then...

The maximum output power has been


locked for TX channels

Go to Step 1.2.

The maximum output power has not been


locked for TX channels

Go to 2.

NOTE

The maximum output power of some RFUs cannot be queried by running the DSP TXBRANCH
command. If the value of the maximum output power invalid in the query result for an RFU, the RFU
does not support the maximum output power locking.

2.

Set the maximum output power of the RFU to 0 to disable the maximum output power
locking.
l Log in to the NodeB through the LMT. Run the LOC RRUTC command to disable the
maximum output power locking for TX channels. Run the RST BRD command to reset

the RFU. Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to check whether the maximum output
power of each RFU is set successfully.
l Log in to the eNodeB through the LMT. Run the LOC RRUTC command to disable
the maximum output power locking for TX channels. Run the RST BRD command to
reset the RFU. Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to check whether the maximum
output power of each RFU is set successfully.
l Log in to the GBTS through the SMT. In the left pane of the Site Maintenance
Terminal System window, click Site. In the right pane of the window, double-click
Lock RXU Traffic Capability. Click the Config tab. On the displayed tab page, set
the parameters to disable the maximum output power locking for TX channels, and click
Set. Reset the RFU to make the configuration take effect.
NOTE

If there is more than one RFU, reset the TX channels of each RFU separately. If RFUs are cascaded,
perform the operations from the lowest-level RFU to the highest-level RFU to minimize the impact
on services carried by the RFUs.

Step 2 Ask the M2000/U2000 administrator to block the RFU.


l On the NodeB, run the UBL BRD command to block the RFU.
l On the eNodeB, run the UBL BRD command to block the RFU.
l On the BSC, run the SET GTRXADMSTAT command and set ADMSTAT to LOCK to
block all carriers of the RFU.
NOTE

l Block the RFU before replacing the module or separately replacing the RF jumper.
l If RFU to be replaced works in multiple modes, block the RFU in all modes it supports.
l An RFU working in GSM mode cannot be blocked, and therefore you can block only the carriers of
the RFU in GSM mode.

Step 3 Verify that TX channels of the RFU are disabled. In this case, the ACT indicator on the RFU
panel is blinking (on for 1s and off for 1s).
Step 4 Power off the RFC.
If...

Then...

RFC(Ver.B)

Switch off all circuit breakers on the DCDU-01 in the RFC.

RFC(Ver.C)

Switch off all circuit breakers on the DCDU-11A in the RFC.

Step 5 Power off the TMC.


If...

Then...

TMC11H(Ver.B) Switch off all circuit breakers on the DCDU-03B or DCDU-03C in the
TMC.
TMC11H(Ver.C) Switch off all circuit breakers on the DCDU-11B or DCDU-11C in the
TMC.

3.8.5 Replacing the RFU


This section describes the procedure and precautions for replacing the RFU.

Prerequisites
The following tools and materials are available: a torque wrench, an ESD wrist strap or a pair
of ESD gloves, a Phillips screwdriver, an ESD box or bag, and dustfree cloth.

Context
l

RFUs are divided into the DRFU, GRFU V1, GRFU V2, GRFU V2a, MRFU V1, MRFU
V2, MRFU V2a, WRFU, and LRFU.

If the replaced MRFU V2 (P900M) is not faulty, disable its maximum output power locking
for TX channels before storing it in the spare parts inventory.

Replacing an RFU interrupts services carried by the RFU.

Replacing an RFU takes about 6 to 10 minutes.

The GATM and Bias-Tee are configured in a cabinet that is configured with DRFUs. When
DRFUs are removed, the GATM and Bias-Tee also need to be replaced. For details about
how to remove the GATM and Bias-Tee, see 3.6.6 (Optional) Removing the GATM and
Bias-Tee.

A handle is used during the replacement. The handle is placed on the lower left side of the
document holder on the cabinet door, as shown in Figure 3-82.

into the APM30H or TMC11H. The added BBU does not perform the monitoring function.
For the monitoring principles in this scenario, see Monitoring Principles.

Monitoring signal cables inside a cabinet have been installed during the restructuring of
the cabinet. Table 3-35 lists the specifications of the monitoring signal cable between two
cabinets after the cable change.

3.11.7 (Optional) Installing Inter-BBU Signal Cables


This section describes the procedure for installing inter-BBU signal cables for a triple- or singlemode base station.

Prerequisites
l

The optical modules and fiber optic cables are of the multimode type.

The rate of optical modules installed in the UMPT and UCIU is 5 Gbit/s or 2.5 Gbit/s.

The inter-WBBPf signal cable is a QSFP electrical cable.

Optical modules can be divided into single- and multimode optical modules, which can be
distinguished as follows:
l

The puller of a single-mode optical module is blue and the puller of a multimode optical
module is black or gray.

The transmission mode is displayed as "SM" on the label of a single-mode optical module
and "MM" on the label of a multimode optical module.

There is a label on each optical module, which provides information such as the rate, wavelength,
and transmission mode, as shown in the following figure.

Lock RXU Traffic Capability. Click the Config tab. On the displayed tab page, set
the parameters to disable the maximum output power locking for TX channels, and click
Set. Reset the RFU to make the configuration take effect.
NOTE

If there is more than one RFU, reset the TX channels of each RFU separately. If RFUs are cascaded,
perform the operations from the lowest-level RFU to the highest-level RFU to minimize the impact
on services carried by the RFUs.

Step 2 Ask the administrator of element management system (EMS) to block the RFU.
l On the NodeB, run the UBL BRD command to block the RFU.
l On the eNodeB, run the UBL BRD command to block the RFU.
l On the BSC, run the SET GTRXADMSTAT command and set ADMSTAT to LOCK to
block all carriers of the RFU.
NOTE

l Block the RFU before replacing the module or separately replacing the RF jumper.
l If RFU to be replaced works in multiple modes, block the RFU in all modes it supports.
l An RFU working in GSM mode cannot be blocked, and therefore you can block only the carriers of
the RFU in GSM mode.

Step 3 Verify that TX channels of the RFU are disabled. In this case, the ACT indicator on the RFU
panel is blinking (on for 1s and off for 1s).
Step 4 Put on an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves.

shown in Figure 4-51. Hold the RFU with one hand, and remove the RFU from the cabinet
with the other hand.

CAUTION
The RFU is heavy. Therefore, handle it with caution.
6.

Place the handle in its original position.


Figure 4-51 Removing the RFU

Step 6 Install the new RFU.


1.

Place the new RFU on guide rails, and slide it along the rails until it snaps into place.

2.

Tighten the M4 screws at the four corners on the RFU panel to 0.6 Nm (5.31 lbfin.) to
secure the RFU to the subrack.

3.

Reconnect power cable and RF jumper to the RFU panel.

4.

Installing Input Power Cables for the APM30H


Input power cables for the APM30H connect the external power equipment to the input wiring
terminals on the EPU, feeding external power into the APM30H.

Prerequisites
l

The following tools are available: a Phillips screwdriver, a torque screwdriver, a cable
cutter, and a multi-purpose crimping tool.

The PGND cable is installed.

The colors and structures of the power cables in this document are for reference only, which
may differ from those of the cables onsite.

The colors and structures of cables vary according to countries and regions. If cables are
purchased locally, the cables must comply with local rules and regulations.

Contact with Huawei engineers to confirm the following issues:

Context

The cables and connectors are provided by the customer.


Some cables of fixed lengths need to be shortened.
An AC-powered BTS3900A supports 220 V AC three-phase, 220 V AC single-phase, and 110
V AC dual-live-wire power supplies. To support different types of power supply, the APM30H
needs to use different input power cables, as shown in Table 4-18.

Procedure
Step 1 Prepare input power cables for the APM30H.
1.

Cut the cables to the length suitable for the actual cable route.

2.

Add OT terminals to both ends of the cables according to the instructions in Assembling
the OT Terminal and the Power Cable.

Step 2 Install the input power cables for the APM30H, as shown in Figure 4-97, Figure 4-98, or Figure
4-99.
1.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove an M3 screw from the protective cover for the AC
input terminals, and open the protective cover.

2.

Optional: When 220 V AC three-phase power is supplied, remove the short-circuiting bar
from the L1, L2, and L3 terminals.
NOTE

When 220 V AC single-phase power is supplied, do not remove the short-circuiting bar. When 110 V AC
dual-live-wire power is supplied, the EPU is not configured with any short-circuiting bar.

3.

Issue 06 (2014-04-30)

Route the power cables into the cabinet along the left side of the cabinet interior, connect
each wire to the corresponding terminal, and use a torque screwdriver to tighten the screws
to 4.8 Nm (42.48 lbfin.).

Installing FE/GE Fiber Optic Cables


This section describes the procedure and precautions for installing FE/GE fiber optic cables.

Context
l

Contact with Huawei engineers to confirm the following issues:


The cables and connectors are provided by the customer.
Some cables of fixed lengths need to be shortened.

The single-mode optical module is labeled as SM and the multimode optical module is
labeled as MM.

The puller of a single-mode optical module is blue. The puller of a multimode optical
module is black or gray.

The optical modules to be installed must match the rates of their corresponding ports.

FE/GE fiber optic cables have an LC connector at one end and an FC, SC, or LC connector
at the other end.

SFP0 and FE/GE0 ports on an LMPT are used for one GE input. Therefore, the two ports
cannot be used simultaneously.

SFP1 and FE/GE1 ports on the LMPT are used for another GE input. Therefore, the two
ports cannot be used simultaneously.

This section uses the procedure for installing FE/GE fiber optic cables in an APM30H as
an example. The procedures for installing FE/GE fiber optic cables in an APM30H and a
TMC11H are the same.

NOTICE
The performance of an optical module that is exposed to the air for more than 20 minutes may
become abnormal. Therefore, you must insert a fiber optic cable into an unpacked optical module
within 20 minutes.

Procedure
Step 1 Install an optical module, as shown in Figure 4-118.
1.

Remove the dustproof cap from the corresponding FE/GE optical port on the corresponding
BBU board.

2.

Remove the dustproof cap from the optical module.

3.

Lower the puller of the optical module.

4.

Insert the optical module into the FE/GE optical port.

5.

Raise the puller of the optical module.

5.6.5 (Optional) Replacing the RFU


This section describes the procedure and precautions for replacing the RFU.

Prerequisites
The following tools and materials are available: a torque wrench, an ESD wrist strap or ESD
gloves, a Phillips screwdriver, an ESD box or bag, and dustfree cloth.

Context
l

RFUs are divided into the DRFU, GRFU V1, GRFU V2, GRFU V2a, MRFU V1, MRFU
V2, MRFU V2a, and WRFU.

RFUs are divided into the DRFU, GRFU V1, GRFU V2, GRFU V2a, MRFU V1, MRFU
V2, MRFU V2a WRFU, and LRFU.

RFUs are divided into the DRFU, GRFU V1, GRFU V2, GRFU V2a, MRFU V1, MRFU
V2, MRFU V2a, WRFU, WRFUa, and LRFU.

If the replaced MRFU V2 (P900M) or WRFUa is not faulty, disable its maximum output
power locking for TX channels before storing it in the spare parts inventory.

Replacing an RFU interrupts services carried by the RFU.

Replacing an RFU takes about 6 to 10 minutes.

The GATM and Bias-Tee are configured along with DRFUs. When DRFUs are removed,
the GATM and Bias-Tee also need to be removed. For details about how to remove the
GATM and Bias-Tee, see 4.4.6 (Optional) Removing the GATM and Bias-Tee.

A handle is used during the replacement. The handle is placed on the lower left side of the
document holder on the cabinet door, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 5-60 Position of the handle

NOTE

The handle is only for pulling an RFU outwards horizontally.

Procedure
Step 1 Optional: If a replaced RFU is not faulty, disable its maximum output power locking for TX
channels before storing it in the spare parts inventory.
NOTE

l If a replaced RFU is faulty, its maximum output power locking for TX channels does not need to be
disabled.
l If the maximum output power has not been set for the RFU, the maximum output power for TX channels
is the maximum transmit power of the hardware.

1.

Check the maximum output power has been locked for TX channels of the new RFU, and
record the result.
l Log in to the NodeB through the LMT. Run the DSP RRU command to query the cabinet
number, subrack number, slot number, and TX channel number of the RFU. Run the
DSP TXBRANCH command and set the cabinet number, subrack number, slot number,
and TX channel number of the RFU to check the hardware maximum output power for
TX channels of the RFU and whether the maximum output power has been locked.
l Log in to the eNodeB through the LMT. Run the DSP RRU command to query the
cabinet number, subrack number, slot number, and TX channel number of the RFU.
Run the DSP TXBRANCH command and set the cabinet number, subrack number,
slot number, and TX channel number of the RFU to check the hardware maximum
output power for TX channels of the RFU and whether the maximum output power has
been locked.
l Log in to the GBTS through the SMT. In the left pane of the Site Maintenance
Terminal System window, click Site. In the right pane of the window, double-click
Lock RXU Traffic Capability. Click the Query Config tab. On the displayed tab page,
select the target RFU.

If...

Then...

The maximum output power has been


locked for TX channels

Go to Step 1.2.

The maximum output power has not been


locked for TX channels

Go to 2.

NOTE

The maximum output power of some RFUs cannot be queried by running the DSP TXBRANCH
command. If the value of the maximum output power invalid in the query result for an RFU, the RFU
does not support the maximum output power locking.

2.

Set the maximum output power of the RFU to 0 to disable the maximum output power
locking.
l Log in to the NodeB through the LMT. Run the LOC RRUTC command to disable the
maximum output power locking for TX channels. Run the RST BRD command to reset
the RFU. Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to check whether the maximum output
power of each RFU is set successfully.
l Log in to the eNodeB through the LMT. Run the LOC RRUTC command to disable
the maximum output power locking for TX channels. Run the RST BRD command to
reset the RFU. Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to check whether the maximum
output power of each RFU is set successfully.
l Log in to the GBTS through the SMT. In the left pane of the Site Maintenance
Terminal System window, click Site. In the right pane of the window, double-click
Lock RXU Traffic Capability. Click the Config tab. On the displayed tab page, set
the parameters to disable the maximum output power locking for TX channels, and click
Set. Reset the RFU to make the configuration take effect.
NOTE

If there is more than one RFU, reset the TX channels of each RFU separately. If RFUs are cascaded,
perform the operations from the lowest-level RFU to the highest-level RFU to minimize the impact
on services carried by the RFUs.

Step 2 Ask the administrator of element management system (EMS) to block the RFU.
l On the NodeB, run the UBL BRD command to block the RFU.
l On the eNodeB, run the UBL BRD command to block the RFU.
l On the BSC, run the SET GTRXADMSTAT command and set ADMSTAT to LOCK to
block all carriers of the RFU.
NOTE

l Block the RFU before replacing the module or separately replacing the RF jumper.
l If RFU to be replaced works in multiple modes, block the RFU in all modes it supports.
l An RFU working in GSM mode cannot be blocked, and therefore you can block only the carriers of
the RFU in GSM mode.

Step 3 Verify that TX channels of the RFU are disabled. In this case, the ACT indicator on the RFU
panel is blinking (on for 1s and off for 1s).
Step 4 Put on an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves.

Failure Type

Handling Measure

Failure in the power


supply to a board in
the BBU

Check as follows:
1. Remove the board, and check whether any pin of the
slot on the backplane is bent, broken, or missing.
Replace the subrack if necessary.
2. Insert the board into the subrack, and check the status
of indicators on the board.
3. If the indicators indicate an exception, remove the
board, insert it into a vacant slot holding the boards of
the same type, and check the status of the indicators.
l If the board works properly, the original slot is
faulty. In this case, replace the subrack.
l If the fault persists, the board is faulty. In this case,
replace the board.

Failure in the power


supply to other
components in the
cabinet

Check as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block
that connects power supply to the component is on. Skip
this step and go to step 2 if this component does not use
any fuse terminal block.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the
fuse is faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according
to the instructions in Replacing a Fuse.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go
to step 2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the
component.
l If the input power is normal, replace the component.
l If the input power is abnormal, check whether the
power cable for the component is connected
securely. If the power cable is not securely
connected, turn off the circuit breaker for the
component (if there is no circuit breaker for the
component, remove the connector from the power
unit) and reconnect the power cable. If the power
cable is securely connected, the protector (such as
circuit breaker or fuse) on the component may be
damaged. In this case, replace the damaged
protector. If the protector cannot be replaced,
replace the upper-level power distribution
component.
