This document describes routine maintenance procedures for an RRU such as equipment
maintenance and power-on and power-off operations. It also explains how to replace the RRU
and optical modules.
The RRUs involved in this document are the RRUs in SingleRAN, GSM, UMTS, LTE FDD,
and LTE TDD modes.
If LTE is used rather than LTE FDD or LTE TDD in this document, the LTE mode can be the LTE FDD
mode or LTE TDD mode. If eNodeB is used rather than eNodeB FDD or eNodeB TDD in this document,
the eNodeB can be an eNodeB FDD or a eNodeB TDD.

1 Changes in RRU Hardware Maintenance Guide
This chapter describes the changes in RRU Hardware Maintenance Guide.
2 Preventative Maintenance Items for an RRU
Preventative maintenance improves the reliability of the RRU. You are advised to perform
scheduled maintenance yearly.
3 Powering On and Off an RRU
After an RRU is powered on, check the status of RRU indicators and voltage. Before the RRU
is powered off, follow the normal power-off or emergent power-off procedure as required.
4 Replacing an RRU
This chapter describes the procedures and precautions for replacing a common RRU,
replacing a blade RRU, and replacing a non-blade RRU with a blade RRU by reusing
mounting kits. Replacing an RRU interrupts all the services carried by the RRU and causes
alarms.
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.
6 Adding RRUs
This chapter describes the procedure and precautions for adding RRUs with different exteriors
on a pole.

RRU
Preventative maintenance improves the reliability of the RRU. You are advised to perform
scheduled maintenance yearly.
When working at heights, the maintenance personnel need to exercise caution to avoid falling
of objects, which may cause injuries or death. In addition, the maintenance personnel must
always wear helmets in the working area and avoid dangerous areas.
The items in the following checklist are not mandatory but strongly recommended. Table 2-1
lists the preventative maintenance items for an RRU.
Table 2-1 Preventative maintenance items for an RRU
After an RRU is powered on, check the status of RRU indicators and voltage. Before the RRU
is powered off, follow the normal power-off or emergent power-off procedure as required.
3.1 Powering On an RRU
This section describes how to power on an RRU. Observe the indicators on the RRU to check
the running status.
3.2 Powering Off an RRU
An RRU 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 the equipment room.
3.1 Powering On an RRU
This section describes how to power on an RRU. Observe the indicators on the RRU to check
the running status.
Prerequisites
The RRU hardware is installed and RRU cable connections are secure.
The input voltage of a DC RRU ranges from -36 V DC to -57 V DC.
The input voltage of an AC RRU ranges from 100 V AC to 240 V AC.
Context
After unpacking an RRU, you must power on it within 24 hours. If you power off the RRU
for maintenance, you must restore power to the RRU within 24 hours.
On the power equipment for the RRU, set
the corresponding circuit breaker to OFF or
remove the corresponding EPC connector.
Rectify the fault, and then go to Step 1.
Step 1 On the power epuipment for the RRU, set the corresponding circuit breaker to ON or insert a

Do not look into the optical module without eye protection after the RRU is powered on.
section "RRU Indicators" in the hardware description of the corresponding RRU.
If RRUs are cascaded, check the status of all RRU indicators.

3.2 Powering Off an RRU
An RRU 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 the equipment room.
Procedure
Normal power-off
If RRUs are cascaded, services carried on the lower-level RRU may be interrupted during the
replacement of the upper-level RRU.
1. On the power equipment for the RRU, set the corresponding circuit breaker to OFF or
remove the corresponding EPC connector.
Emergency power-off
