DLP-A554 Upgrade Low-Density Electrical Cards in a 1:1 Configuration to
High-Density Electrical Cards
Caution
Protect cards must be upgraded before working cards because working cards cannot have more
capabilities than their protect card.
Note
You cannot upgrade electrical cards from low-density to high-density if the low-density electrical cards
are installed in Slots 4, 5, or 6 (or 12, 13, or 14 on the B side of the shelf). Only cards in Slots 1, 2, 16,
and 17 can be upgraded to high-density electrical cards.
Note
During the upgrade some minor alarms and conditions appear and then clear on their own; however, there
should be no Service-Affecting (SA, Major, or Critical) alarms if you are upgrading protected cards.
(Upgrading an unprotected card can be service affecting.) If any service-affecting alarms occur, Cisco
Step 1
Determine which DS3XM-6 cards you want to upgrade to DS3XM-12, according to slot limitations.
Step 2
In node view, double-click the current protect card. The card view appears.
Step 3
Make sure the current protect card is not active:
a.
In card view, click the
Maintenance > Protection
tabs.
b.
Select the protection group where the protect card resides.
Step 4
If the card status is Protect/Active, perform a switch so that the protect card becomes standby:
a.
Click on the card in the protection group list to highlight it.
b.
Click
Switch.
c.
Click
Yes
in the confirmation dialog box.
Step 5
Physically remove the card:
a.
Open the card ejectors.
b.
Slide the card out of the slot. This raises the
IMPROPRMVL
alarm, which will clear when the upgrade
is complete.
Purpose
This task upgrades low-density electrical cards (DS3XM-6 cards)) in a
1:1 protection scheme to high-density electrical cards (DS3XM-12
cards).
Tools/Equipment
