Configuring the TX 4000 board 

 

TX 4000 PCI SS7 Network Interface Board Installation Manual 

Removing a board 

Complete the following steps to remove a TX board from the system: 

Step 

Action 

Power down the system if it is running.  

Remove the TX 4000 board from the slot.  

Power up the system. 

Verify the configuration change by entering the following command: 

txcpcfg 

For example, if you remove a TX board with a CP number of 2, no configuration information for 
the removed board is displayed, as in the following example: 

Bus    Slot    CP Number    CP Model 
2      2       1            TX 4000 
2      8       3            TX 4000 

Save the configuration changes. 

In a Windows system, configuration changes are saved automatically. In a UNIX system, 
configuration changes are deleted when you restart the system. Save the changes by editing the 

cpcfg

 file as described in 

Saving configuration changes

 on page 27.
