4.1 Powering On the BTS3900

This describes how to power on the BTS3900 and handle the power supply failure of internal components of the cabinet.
Prerequisite
l l
The input power cables are correctly and securely connected. The power input of the BTS3900 meets the specifications listed in Power Supply Requirements of the BTS3900. The power switches on the DCDU-01 in the BTS3900 are set to OFF. The external power supply to the BTS3900 is cut off.

NOTE
The slots where the RFUs are installed are numbered 0 to 5 from left to right.
Procedure
Step 1 Turn on the external power switch to power on the BTS3900. If... The cabinet is a BTS3900 (+24 V) or BTS3900 (220 V) cabinet The cabinet is a BTS3900 (-48 V) cabinet, Then Go to Step 2. Go to Step 3.
Step 2 Check whether the PSU works properly. For details, see PSU (AC/DC) or PSU (DC/DC). Step 3 Check whether the input voltage of the DCDU-01 in the BTS3900 is normal. If... Then
The input voltage of the DCDU-01 is not in The power supply in the cabinet is improper. the range from -38.4 V DC to -57 V DC Go to Step 4. The input voltage of the DCDU-01 is within The power-on check for the cabinet is the range from -38.4 V DC to -57 V DC complete. Go to Step 7. Step 4 Turn off the external power switch to power off the BTS3900. Step 5 Check the connections and routing of the power cables for the DCDU-01. Step 6 Go to Step 3 to check whether the output voltage of the DCDU-01 is normal. Step 7 Turn on the power switches on the DCDU-01, and then check the DC power supply to the internal components of the cabinet. Table 4-2 describes the power supply to the components. Table 4-2 Indication of normal power supply to the components Component BBU GTMU WMPT Indication of Normal Power Supply The RUN LED is steady green or blinks green (ON for 1s and OFF for 1s). The RUN LED is steady green or blinks green (ON for 1s and OFF for 1s).

Indication of Normal Power Supply The STATE LED blinks green (ON for 1s and OFF for 1s). The RUN LED is steady green. The RUN LED is steady green or blinks green (ON for 1s and OFF for 1s). The RUN LED blinks green (ON for 1s and OFF for 1s). The fan works properly, and the RUN LED on the panel of the FAN unit blinks green (ON for 1s and OFF for 1s). The RUN LED on the panel of each RFU blinks green (ON for 1s and OFF for 1s). The RUN LED blinks green (ON for 1s and OFF for 1s) or (ON for 0.125s and OFF for 0.125s). Power input LED is steady green.
Step 8 If the power supply to the components fails after the cabinet is powered on, perform troubleshooting as described in Table 4-3. Table 4-3 Troubleshooting Fault Type Failure of power supply to all the internal components of the cabinet Handling Measures Check whether the GND and -48 V power cables are inversely connected.
l
If the cable connection is wrong, set all the power switches to OFF, and then reconnect the power cables. If the cable connection is correct, replace the DCDU-01.

Issue 04 (2010-01-20)
Fault Type Failure of power supply to a board in the cabinet
Handling Measures Do as follows: 1. Remove the board, and then check whether the pins of the board slot on the backplane are distorted, broken, or missing. Replace the subrack if necessary. 2. Insert the board into the subrack, and check the LED on the board. 3. If the status of the LED indicates an error, remove the board, insert it into another idle slot that can house the board of the same type, and then check the LED on the board.
l
If the board works properly, you can infer that the slot is faulty. In this case, replace the subrack. If the fault persists, you can infer that the board is faulty. In this case, replace the board.
Failure of power supply to any other component in the cabinet
Use a multimeter to measure the input voltage of the faulty component.

l
If the input voltage is within the range of -38.4 V DC to -57 V DC, replace the component. If the input voltage is out of the range of -38.4 V DC to -57 V DC, check the connections of the power cables for the component.
If the power cables are not securely connected, set all the power switches on the DCDU-01 to OFF, and then reconnect the power cables. If the power cables are securely connected, replace the DCDU-01 because the power switches on the DCDU-01 might be faulty, or replace the power cables.

4.2 Powering Off the BTS3900

You can power off the BTS3900 by using two methods: normal power-off and emergency poweroff. You need to perform the normal power-off before an equipment swap or a foreseeable regional blackout. You need to perform the emergency power-off when a fire, smoke, or water immersion occurs in the equipment room.
Issue 04 (2010-01-20) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 4-5
Procedure
l Perform the normal power-off. 1. 2. 3. Modify the management status to block all the RFUs in the cabinet. Set all the DC power switches on the DCDU to OFF. Shut off the external power supply. Set the power switch for the batteries to OFF if the BTS3900 cabinet is configured with external batteries or PS4890 cabinet which houses batteries.
Perform the emergency power-off.
CAUTION
Emergency power-off may lead to damage on the equipment or boards. Therefore, this type of power-off is not recommended in a normal situation. 1. Shut off the external power supply. Set the power switch for the batteries to OFF if the BTS3900 cabinet is configured with external batteries or PS4890 cabinet which houses batteries. Set all the DC power switches on the DCDU to OFF if time permits.

5 Replacing BTS3900 Components
Replacing BTS3900 Components
About This Chapter

Faulty BTS3900 components must be replaced in time. The replaceable components are the BBU3900 case, boards and module in the BBU3900, RFUs, DCDU-01, FAN unit, power subrack and PMU, PSUs, . 5.1 Replacing BBU3900 Parts During the BBU3900 maintenance, the following parts of the BBU3900 can be replaced as required: the BBU3900 case, BBU3900 boards and module for WCDMA, BBU3900 boards and module for GSM, and optical modules. 5.2 Replacing the RFU RFU is radio frequency unit. The replacement of the RFU disrupts the services carried on it. 5.3 Replacing a DCDU-01 Module The DCDU-01, installed under the BBU, supplies DC power for the cabinet. Replacing the DCDU-01 disrupts the services carried on the corresponding cabinet. 5.4 Replacing the Fan Box The fan box works with the air inlet box in the cabinet to form a ventilation path, and provides forced ventilation. Replacing the fan box may result in over-temperature alarms due to interruption of heat dissipation for the cabinet but has no negative effect on services of the base station. It takes about 20 minutes to replace a fan box. 5.5 Replacing the Power Subrack (AC/DC) The power subrack (AC/DC), which is located in the lower part of the BTS3900 cabinet, provides power input and output ports. Replacing the power subrack (AC/DC) disrupts all services carried by the BTS. 5.6 Replacing the PMU The PMU performs the power system management, power distribution detection, and alarm reporting functions. Replacing the PMU does not affect the services. 5.7 Replacing the PSU (AC/DC) When a PSU (AC/DC) has a fault that cannot be rectified in a short period, the PSU needs to be replaced. Replacing the PSU (AC/DC) causes power-off of the BTS cabinet and thus disrupts all services carried by the BTS. 5.8 Replacing the Power Subrack (DC/DC)
The power subrack (DC/DC), which is located in the lower part of the BTS3900 cabinet, provides power input and output ports.

Step 5 Put the removed RFU into an ESD box. Step 6 Unpack the new RFU, place the new RFU on the corresponding guide rails, and then slide it along the rails until it is in position. Step 7 Tighten the four captive screws at four corners on the panel of the RFU to fasten the RFU securely to the subrack. Step 8 Fix the 7/16-inch DIN male elbow connector of the RF jumper RFU according to the temporary label. Then, use a torque wrench to fasten the DIN male elbow connector with the fastening torque of 25 Nm to 35 Nm. Step 9 Insert the connector to the RFU according to the temporary label on the CPRI cable. Step 10 Install the power cable of the RFU, and then tighten the screws. Step 11 Set the corresponding DC output power switch on the panel of the DCDU-01 to ON. Step 12 Activate the BootROM or software version of the RFU. 1. 2. Run the DSP BRDVER command on the LMT to query the BootROM and software versions of the new RFU. If the software version is incorrect, run the ACT SOFTWARE command on the LMT to reactivate the BootROM or software version of the new RFU.
Step 13 Run the UBL BRD command on the LMT to unblock the RFU. Whether to perform this step locally or remotely depends on the way used in step 1 at the beginning of this procedure. That is, perform this step locally if step 1 is performed locally. ----End
