Convert All 16D CAMs in the Chassis to XD CAMs by Reprovisioning the Downstream Cards Only
This procedure assumes that you have ordered upgrade kits and have received the license keys for all 16D CAMs to be
upgraded, and that you have upgraded the chassis to Release 7.4 or later. It also assumes that all 16D CAMs will be
upgraded and that you have created a script for provisioning the upgraded CAMs as in the previous procedure.
1.
Assign license keys to all 16D CAMs:
configure slot <slot_number> change-type 16DCAM to XDCAM key <16 hex digit key>
CAUTION: You must perform step 2 and wait for it to successfully complete before proceeding to the step 3. For more

Use the system response to verify that the upgraded Classic CAMs have model number CAM-20032W (or CAM-
40032W for Optimized XD CAMs). This number is displayed for both Annex A and Annex B XD CAMs. The output below
is an excerpt from an example:
11 CAM (16D, 0U) Up IS Simplex 10063CSD0082 CAM-20032W/G04 DMM/DMM
12 CAM (16D, 0U) Up IS Simplex 10033CSD0119 CAM-20032W/G04 DMM/DMM
