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.
About This Document
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

Procedure
Step 1 Power on the pRRU.
Step 2 Optional: Check the power supply status for the pRRU. This operation is required when AC/
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.
l The RHUB adopts the PoE power supply to provide power for the pRRU over the CPRI_E0
port.
l The 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.
DC power adapter is used.
