About This Chapter
This describes how to replace the faulty BTS3900 components. The faulty components must be
replaced in time. The replaceable components in the BTS3900 are the BBU3900 case,
BBU3900 board or module, DCDU-01, FAN module, PMU/PSU, SLPU, WRFU, and
BTS3900 power subrack.
5.1 Replacing a BBU3900 Case
This describes how to replace a BBU3900 case. The BBU3900, which is a core module of the
NodeB, processes baseband signals of the entire NodeB system and provides transport interfaces
for communication with other NEs, namely, RNC, RRU, WRFU. Replacing the BBU3900
interrupts all the services carried by the NodeB.
5.2 Replacing a WMPT
The WMPT is the BBU3900 main control and transmission board, replacing the WMPT disrupts
all the services carried by the NodeB.
5.3 Replacing a WBBP
Replacing a WBBP disrupts all the services carried by the NodeB.
5.4 Replacing a UPEU
The UPEU is the power module of the BBU and provides power for the boards in the BBU. The
UPEU supports the -48/+24V V DC input. During the replacement of the UPEU, the BBU is
powered off and the ongoing-services are disrupted.
5.5 Replacing a UTRP
The UTRP is the BBU3900 main control and transmission board, replacing the UTRP disrupts
5.6 Replacing a UBFA
The UBFA is the fan module in the BBU. The UBFA and the air inlet box in the BBU form a
ventilation loop, implementing forced heat dissipation for the BBU. During the replacement of
the UBFA, the heat generated by the BBU cannot be properly ventilated and, with temperature
increase, an overtemperature alarm is reported. The services, however, are not affected.
5.7 Replacing a DCDU-01 Module
BTS3900 WCDMA
Site Maintenance Guide 5 Replacing Components of the BTS3900
5-1
The DCDU-01, installed under the BBU, supplies DC power for the cabinet and has the function
of surge protection. Replacing the DCDU-01 disrupts the services carried on the corresponding
cabinet. It takes about 20 minutes to replace the DCDU-01.
5.8 Replacing the FAN Unit
The FAN unit works with the air inlet box in the cabinet to form a ventilation path. The FAN
unit provides forced ventilation and dissipation for the BBU and RFU. Replacing the FAN unit
may result in over-temperature alarms due to interruption of heat dissipation for the cabinet but
has no negative effect on services of the BTS. It takes about 20 minutes to replace a FAN unit.
5.9 Replacing the PMU
When the PMU is faulty and cannot be repaired in time, you must replace it.
5.10 Replacing a PSU
When a PSU is faulty and cannot be repaired in time, you must replace it.
5.11 Replacing a WRFU Module
This describes how to replace WRFU. The WRFU is located on the top of the BTS3900 cabinet.
The WRFU provides the following functions: modulation and demodulation of baseband or RF
signals, data processing, and signal combination and division. The replacement of the WRFU
disrupts the services carried on it. It takes about 10 minutes to replace a 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.
