l Take proper ESD prevention measures, for example, wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves
to prevent the boards, modules, and electronic components from being damaged by the static
electricity generated by the human body.
l Hold the RFU module with care as it is heavy.
Procedure
Step 1 Locate the faulty RFU and then run the BLK BRD command on the LMT to disable the faulty
WRFU.
NOTE
This step can be performed either locally or remotely. Remote maintenance is suggested, though.
Step 2 Set the RFU switch on the DCDU-01 that corresponds to the RFU to OFF. The position of the
RFU is shown in Figure 5-13.

Step 3 Label the cables connected to the RFU panel, and then disconnect the cables.
Step 4 Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the four captive screws on the RFU panel.
Step 5 Insert the standard handle into the RFU to the corresponding keyhole on the RFU panel, and
turn the handle key by 90. Pull out the module by holding the handle key using one hand, and
then remove the RFU using the other hand, as shown in Figure 5-14.

Step 7 Tighten the four captive screws at four corners on the RFU panel so as to connect the RFU
securely to the subrack.
Step 8 Install the cables to the ports on the RFU panel according to the labels.
Step 9 Set the RFU switch on the DCDU-01 that corresponds to the RFU to ON.
Step 10 Activate the BootROM or the software version of the new WRFU.
1. Run the DSP BRDVER command to check whether the BootROM or the software version
of the new WRFU are correct on the LMT.
2. If the software version is incorrect, run the ACT SOFTWARE command to reactivate the
BootROM or the software version of the WRFU on the LMT.
Step 11 On the LMT, run the UBL BRD command to unblock the board.

Postrequisite
After replacing the RFU module, verify the following items:
l The cable connections are correct and secure.
l After the RFU module is powered on, the RUN LED on the panel is green and blinks at
0.5 Hz.
l On the M2000 or the LMT, the alarms related to the RFU module are cleared after the RFU
module is powered on.
l Contact the local Huawei office to handle the faulty RFU module.
5.12 Replacing the Power Supply Subrack of the BTS3900
The power supply subrack is located in the lower cabinet of the BTS3900. It can be installed
with the PSU and PMU to provide the power input and output ports. It takes about 25 minutes
to replace the power supply subrack.
Prerequisite
l Confirm the model of the faulty power supply subrack and have the new power supply
subrack of the same type ready.
l The required tools and materials, such as ESD wrist strap, Phillips screwdriver, ESD box
or bag, and the key to the cabinet door, are available.

Procedure
Step 1 Power off the BTS3900.
Step 2 Mark the cables on the power supply subrack and the PMU, and then disconnect them.
Step 3 Loosen the two screws on the panel of the PMU/PSU in the power supply subrack, as shown in
Figure 5-15.

NOTE
Figure 5-15 shows the PMU, because the position of the two screws on the PSU panel is the same as that
on the PMU panel.

Step 4 Pull out the PMU or PSU along the guide rails by holding the ejector lever on the PMU/PSU
panel, as shown in Figure 5-15.
Step 5 Repeat Step 3 through Step 4 to remove all the PMUs/PSUs from the power supply subrack,
and then put them into the ESD box.
Step 6 Remove the four M6x12 strews on the two mounting ears of the power supply subrack, as shown
in Figure 5-16.

Step 7 Pull out the power supply subrack with one hand, hold the power supply subrack with the other
hand, and then remove it.
Step 8 Put the faulty power supply subrack into an ESD box.
Step 9 Reversely perform the previous steps to install the new power supply subrack and removed
PMUs/PSUs into the cabinet.
Step 10 Connect the removed cables to the ports on the panel of the power supply subrack and on that
of the PMU according to the marks.
Step 11 Power on the BTS3900.
