Step
Procedure
1
Insert the standby GCM in the remaining GCM slot, GCMA or GCMB.
The Active/Standby LED on the standby GCM flashes amber while it is
synchronizing with the active GCM.
2
Wait for synchronization to complete on the standby GCM. The
Active/Standby LED flashes green indicating that it is the standby GCM
and that synchronization is complete.
3
Insert the remaining cards in the Traverse node based on your engineering
work order and the physical cabling at the main and fiber optic backplanes.
Refer to Section 12—
, Appendix A—“Card Placement Plan-
ning and Guidelines,” page 12-1 for more information.
Note:
All cards and ports come up “locked” and the port LEDs remain
“off”. Cards and ports are “unlocked” or enabled as part of equipment
configuration. Refer to the Traverse Provisioning Guide for more
information.
