3. Verify that the Squeeze & Tease Carrier is passing video properly by flying a key on
the MLE that the Squeeze & Tease Carrier is supporting. This ensures that the upgrade
has completed. If the key is not flying properly, check the
System Information Page
again to ensure all items are done.
4. Locate the two small holes on the front edge of the Squeeze & Tease Carrier, near the
extractor tabs. If you wish, you can further secure the board by threading tie wraps
through these holes and fastening them around the extractor tabs.
5. Repeat this procedure for all remaining Squeeze & Tease Carriers .
This completes the procedure for re-seating and upgrading the Squeeze & Tease Carriers. Next you
will power down the switcher and power it back up in order to initialize the new software on all the
boards and cards in the frame.
Rebooting the Switcher After an Upgrade
Rebooting the switcher after the upgrade ensures that all the boards, cards, and modules on the
switcher are properly upgraded and initialized. If a board, card or module was not properly
upgraded, the switcher attempts to upgrade and initialize it again with the reboot.
Use the following procedure to shutdown and restart the switcher after performing an upgrade:
1. Shut down the switcher. Refer to the section “ Shutting Down the Switcher ” on page
4-14 for information on shutting down the switcher.
2. Wait at least
6
seconds for the System Status Indicators to go out.
3. Power up the switcher. Refer to the section “ Power Up ” on page 4-9 for information on
powering up the switcher.
Caution If the switcher has not finished propagating the upgrade before you
proceed to shut-down the switcher, you may damage the switcher.
