Prerequisites
lThe RRU3931E and its cables have been installed.
lThe input voltage of the RRU3931E ranges from 110 V AC to 220 V AC, and the
frequency ranges from 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
Context
NOTICE
After a RRU3931E is unpacked, power it on within 24 hours. If the RRU3931E is powered
off for maintenance, restore power to it within 24 hours.
Procedure
Step 1 Power on the RRU3931E.
DANGER
Do not look into optical modules without eye protection after the RRU3931E is powered on.
Step 2 Wait for 3 to 5 minutes, and observe the indicator status. Then, take actions based on the
indicator status.
Table 1-1 RRU3931E indicator status
If... Then...
The RUN indicator blinks (on for 1s and off
for 1s), the ALM indicator is off, and the
RRU3931E is running correctly
End the power-on check task.
Any other indicator status is observed The RRU3931E is faulty. Rectify the faults,
and go to Step 1
NOTE
lCheck the status of indicators on all cascaded RRU3931Es in cascading networking.
lA RRU3931E takes about 3 minutes to complete the startup procedure, during which the
indicator status is negligible.
lDuring a startup, a RRU3931E reads and writes the flash memory and therefore the
indicators blinking quickly may blink irregularly for 1s to 2s, which does not affect
services.

Step 1 Ask the network operator to perform the following preparations for a RRU3931E
replacement:
1. Block all the cells served by the RRU3931E to be replaced.
–Run the BLK CELL command if the RRU3931E works in LTE mode.
–Run the BLK ULOCELL command if the RRU3931E works in UMTS mode.
2. Change the SN to that of the new RRU3931E.
3. Upload a configuration file for the new RRU3931E over FTP. For details, see
RRU3931E Commissioning Guide.
4. Copy the configuration file and required software package to a TF card or a laptop where
the LMT has been installed.
NOTICE
Do not touch the RRU3931E that is just powered off until it cools down.
Step 2 Switch off the external power supply equipment for the RRU3931E to be replaced.
NOTICE
Take proper ESD protection measures, for example, wear ESD gloves, to prevent electrostatic

Step 3 Put on ESD gloves.
Step 4 Record the horizontal angle and vertical angle of the RRU3931E. Pay attention to the
direction.
Step 5 Record cable connection positions on the bottom and side maintenance cavities of the
RRU3931E.
Step 6 Remove the cables on the RRU3931E bottom and side maintenance cavities from external
devices.
When removing an RF jumper, hold tightly the metal part (in the red dotted circle in Figure
1-1) of the Smart-type N male connector and pull it down with proper force. See Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Removing an RF jumper
Step 7 Use an M10 hex key screwdriver to remove the angle adjusting screw on the top of the
RRU3931E attachment plate. Push the RRU3931E and its attachment plate upward out of the
angle adjusting mounting bracket. See Figure 1-2.
NOTICE
When demounting a RRU3931E, hold the handles tight and gently lift the RRU3931E to
prevent it from falling.

padded carton or the packing box of the new RRU3931E.
lFill in the fault form with the detail information of the replaced RRU3931E.
lContact the local Huawei office to handle the faulty RRU3931E.
1.5 Replacing an Optical Module
An optical module implements photoelectric conversion, enabling optical transmission
between a RRU3931E and other devices. Before replacing an optical module, disconnect the
fiber optic cable from the optical module. The disconnection interrupts transmission of optical
signals.
Prerequisites
lThe type and number of optical modules to be replaced are confirmed, and new optical
modules are ready.
lTools and materials, such as ESD gloves, M10 Phillips screwdrivers, ESD box or ESD
bag, are ready.
Context
lOptical modules are inserted in FE/GE2 and FE/GE3 ports of the RRU3931E.
lOptical modules are hot-swappable.
lOptical module replacement involves disconnecting the fiber optic cable, removing the
faulty optical module, inserting a new optical module, connecting the fiber optic cable to
the new module, and waiting for the link on the Ethernet optical port to resume. The
whole process takes about 5 minutes.
Procedure
Step 1 Put on ESD gloves.
NOTICE
Take proper ESD protection measures, for example, wear ESD gloves, to prevent electrostatic
damage to the boards, modules, or electronic components.

Step 2 Switch off the external power supply equipment for the RRU3931E.
Step 3 Opening the maintenance cavity covers. If the maintenance cavity covers cannot be opened
because the RRU3931E is installed on a wall with large-angle adjustment, perform the
following operations:
1. Record the adjusted angle for the RRU3931E.
2. Adjust the horizontal angle of the RRU3931E.
3. Open the maintenance cavity covers.
Step 4 Record the connection positions of the faulty optical module and fiber optic cable.
Step 5 Press the bulge on the optical connector and remove the connector from the faulty optical
module.
NOTICE
Do not look into the disconnected fiber optic cable or optical module without eye protection.
Step 6 Lower the puller on the faulty optical module, and then pull the puller until the optical module
is removed from the RRU3931E.
Step 7 According to the label on the faulty optical module, prepare a new one of the same type.
Install the new optical module into the FE/GE optical port on the RRU3931E.
NOTE
The new optical module must match the rate at the optical FE/GE port.
Step 8 Insert the optical connector into the optical module, and closing the maintenance cavity
covers.
Step 9 Power on the new RRU3931E by following instructions provided in 1.3.1 Powering On a
RRU3931E"1.3.1 Powering On a RRU3931E."
Step 10 Check the transmission of FE/GE signals by the indicator status. For the meanings of the
indicator status, see section "Ports and Indicators" in RRU3931E Hardware Description.
Step 11 Take off the ESD gloves and pack up all the tools.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
lPlace the replaced optical module into the ESD box or bag. Then, place the ESD box or
bag into a foam-padded carton or the packing box of the new optical module.
