 MBTS UMPT Replacing

1 Overview

1.1 Objective
This document describes the procedure and step by step operation for replacing a
faulty UMPT in a BBU3900. It guides onsite and remote engineers to perform the
UMPT replacement by both locally and remotely ways. And meet maintenance
engineers expectation that reducing the service interruption and the site visiting
times.

2 UMPT Replacement Implementation

2.1 Prerequisites
 Confirm the UMPT board was faulty, and a new board has been prepared.
 Prepare the MBTS Software, save inside local PC for LMT local upgrading or upload to OSS server
 Associated personnel have gained permission to access the site and have obtained the required
keys.

2.2 Process for UMPT Board Replacement

The UMPT board replacement progress, except the local UMPT new board replacing
with the old board, the others steps can be implemented both locally and remotely. In
T project, some regions did not enable the DHCP function, so only can use the local
way.

2. Record all the cable connections on the panel of the module to be replaced.
3. Remove the transmission cable from the UMPT. If a surge protection board is configured,
the surge protection transfer cable also needs to be removed, as shown in the following figure.
4. Loosen the two M3 screws on the panel, raise the ejector lever, and pull out the UMPT, as
shown in the following figure.

CAU TION:
 When removing a board, hold the board with both hands and remove it from the subrack
slowly.
 When transporting a board, hold the board with both hands.
