Upgrading the SCM to 1 GB — Duplex System
Perform the following steps to upgrade the SCM in a duplex system:
Be sure that you are wearing an ESD strap and use ESD precaution when handling the SCM card(s) and DIMM modules.
1.
Shutdown the SCM intended for upgrade by using the command:
configure slot <X> shutdown
2.
Remove the SCM from the CMTS chassis and place on a flat, grounded antistatic mat with the components facing up.
3.
Remove the DIMM from the connector by prying outward on the ejector latches located at both ends of the connector.
See the figure below. (In the event of an upgrade failure, temporarily retain the 512MB DIMM module in the static-
proof bag in which the 1GB DIMM was shipped.)
