3 Powering On and Powering Off an AAU
About This Chapter
This section describes the process and precautions for powering on and powering off an AAU.
3.1 Powering on an AAU
This section describes the procedure and precautions for powering on an AAU.
3.2 Powering off an AAU
An AAU can be powered off in two ways: normal power-off and emergency power-off. You
must power off the AAU in a normal situation such as moving the equipment or anticipating a
territorial blackout. You must also power off the AAU in an emergency such as a fire, smoke,
or water damage.

3.1 Powering on an AAU
This section describes the procedure and precautions for powering on an AAU.
Context
DANGER
lBefore powering on a base station, check that the positive and negative wires of all power
cables are correctly connected. Any incorrect power cable connection may cause damage to
equipment or unexpected injuries of human body.
lExercise caution when performing a power-on check, which involves high voltage
operations. Direct contact with the input voltage or indirect contact with the input voltage
using a damp object may be fatal.
NOTICE
lAfter unpacking the RU, you must power on it within 24 hours. If you power off the RU for
maintenance, you must restore power to the RU within 24 hours.
lKeep a minimum of 7.35 m (24.11 ft) away from the front of the AAU after the RU is powered
on and the AAU starts working.
Process
The following figure shows the process of powering on an AAU.

Figure 3-1 Process of powering on an AAU
NOTE
lThe normal input voltage of an AAU is 220 V AC and should range from 200 V AC to 240 V AC.
lWhen an AAU is working properly, the RUN indicator is blinking (on for 1s and off for 1s), and the ALM
indicator is steady off. For details about indicators, see AAU3940 Hardware Description.
3.2 Powering off an AAU
An AAU can be powered off in two ways: normal power-off and emergency power-off. You
must power off the AAU in a normal situation such as moving the equipment or anticipating a
territorial blackout. You must also power off the AAU in an emergency such as a fire, smoke,
or water damage.
Procedure
lNormal power-off
1. Set the corresponding circuit breaker on the power equipment for the AAU to OFF.
lEmergency power-off
NOTICE
Emergency power-off may damage the AAU. Therefore, do not perform an emergency
power-off in normal cases.

4 Replacing an AAU
This section describes how to replace a faulty AAU. Replacing an AAU interrupts all the services
carried by the AAU and causes alarms.
Prerequisites
lThe following tools and materials are available: an ESD wrist strap or a pair of ESD gloves,
a flat-head screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, a torque screwdriver, a hex key, and an ESD
box or bag.
lThe new component is intact, and its hardware version is the same as that of the component
to be replaced.
Procedure
Step 1 Put on an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves.
NOTICE
Take proper ESD protection measures, for example, put on an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves,
to prevent electrostatic damage to the boards, modules, or electronic components.
Step 2 Instruct the U2000 administrator to block the faulty AAU by running the BLK BRD command.
Step 3 Power off the AAU. For detailed operations, see 3.2 Powering off an AAU.
Step 4 Remove cables from the faulty AAU.
1. Optional: If the AAU is installed on a pole top, remove the landscaping cover, as shown
in the following figure. Skip this step if the AAU is installed on a pole or wall.

2. Loosen the screws on the cover of the maintenance cavity, and open the cover.
3. Record cable connections on the AAU and remove all cables, including the power cable,
CPRI fiber optic cable, and PGND cable.
NOTE
lIf the AAU is installed on a pole or a wall, the PGND cable connects to the ground bolt on the
attachment plate. In this case, remove the PGND cable.
lIf the AAU is installed on a pole top, the PGND cable connects to the ground bolt on the mounting
support. In this case, do not remove the PGND cable.
4. Use an M6 inner hexagon torque screwdriver to tighten the screws on the maintenance
cavity, and close the cover.
