Adding and Replacing a WAN Adapter Module
This chapter describes how to add and replace a WAN adapter module in the
Passport 2430.
Before installing the module, examine the contents of your WAN adapter module
upgrade kit. If any parts appear damaged, call the Nortel Networks Technical
Solutions Center immediately.
Downloading New Boot and Diagnostic Code
If you are installing a WAN adapter module as an upgrade to your existing
hardware configuration, you must verify that the Passport 2430 contains the
minimum required version of programmable read-only memory (PROM) code for
the module that you are installing. The release media includes the latest boot and
diagnostic code at the time it is shipped, but if your upgrade requires newer code,
you must manually download the boot images to the memory flash card and the
diagnostic images to the diagnostic PROM.
