Make Source Tape for TRACS Report
A spare G2 tape must be acquired from the remediation before performing the
following steps. For each processor, there must always be 2 tapes on site with the

previous procedures, copy the G2 translations to the spare tape used to make the
TRACS report.

TRACS report.
System Upgrades
There are many configurations of DEFINITY G2 in the field. Each system can
have a unique configuration. However, to simplify the upgrade:
■
Replace the existing common control with a multicarrier PPN
■
Replace existing traditional modules with EPNs
■
Replace existing universal modules with EPNs
A new multicarrier cabinet (MCC1) would then always serve as the PPN.
Upgrading a G2 universal module to a new EPN requires hardware changes
(including carrier replacement).
