Verify proper equipage in Main slots

Procedure 2-4.1: Verify proper equipage in Main slots

Overview

Use this procedure to verify that the Main slots are equipped with circuit packs that are supported in 9.1.x.

LNW26 circuit packs are not supported in 9.1.x.

Since LNW26B-type circuit packs with the jumper set to NORMAL are identical to LNW26 circuit packs, LNW26B-type circuit packs (LNW26B, LNW28, LNW77, LNW121B-151B) with the circuit pack mode jumper set to NORMAL (six STS-1 switch fabric) are not supported in 9.1.x. The jumper on LNW26B-type circuit packs must be set to ENHANCED (12 STS-1 switch fabric) to use these circuit packs in 9.1.x.

Important!

If you determine that the Main slots in your NE are equipped with unsupported circuit packs, you must upgrade those circuit packs before upgrading to 9.1.x.

Required equipment

Refer to Required equipment in Procedure 2-4: Upgrade software generic via FTAM for a list of equipment required to perform this procedure.

Before you begin

Before performing this procedure:

Complete Procedure 2-4: Upgrade software generic via FTAM.
If your Main slots contain unsupported circuit packs, you must have access to supported circuit packs.

Steps

Complete the following steps to verify that supported equipment is installed in your shelf.

From the System View menu, select Reports → Equipment Lists → Pack, highlight Shelf, and click Select.

Result:

The Circuit Pack List screen appears.

In the Circuit Pack List screen, locate the main-1-cp and main-2-cp AIDs in the Circuit Pack AID column. Are the Apparatus Codes for those AIDs either LNW26 or LNW26B-type (LNW26B, LNW28, LNW77, LNW121B-151B)?

If...	Then...
Yes (LNW26)	You must upgrade the LNW26 circuit packs in the Main slots to supported circuit packs. Proceed to Procedure 12-1: Upgrade cross-connect capacity/port density upgrade of high-speed OLIU circuit packs at a node and then repeat this procedure.
Yes (LNW26B, LNW28, LNW77, LNW121B-151B)	Continue with Step 3 to determine the circuit pack mode of the packs.
No	The Main slots are equipped with circuit packs that are compatible with 9.1.x. Proceed to Procedure 2-4.2: Upgrade software generic via FTAM (5.1.3/5.1.7 to 9.1.x).

From the System View menu, select View → Equipment → Circuit Pack, highlight CP main-1, and click Select.

Result:

The View Equipment screen appears.

In the View Equipment screen, locate the Circuit Pack Mode parameter in the Equipment Details panel. Note the value of the Circuit Pack Mode for CP Main-1, either NORMAL, or ENHANCED.

Do NOT click Close on the View Equipment screen.

Highlight CP main-2 and click Select.

In the View Equipment screen, locate the Circuit Pack Mode parameter in the Equipment Details panel. Note the value of the Circuit Pack Mode for CP Main-2, either NORMAL, or ENHANCED.

Refer to Step 4 and Step 6. Is the Circuit Pack Mode for CP main-1 and/or CP main-2 NORMAL (six STS-1 switch fabric)?

If...

Then...

Yes

The LNW26B-type circuit packs with the Circuit Pack Mode jumper set as NORMAL are NOT supported in 9.1.x.

Choose one of the following two options:

Change Circuit Pack Mode to ENHANCED by physically changing the jumper setting on the circuit packs.

Proceed to Procedure 4-22: Change circuit pack mode of LNW26B, LNW28, LNW77, or LNW121B–159B OC-48 OLIU circuit packs and then repeat this procedure.
Upgrade the LNW26B-type circuit packs to LNW27, LNW29, LNW32, LNW76, LNW202, or LNW221–259 OC-48 OLIU circuit packs. These circuit packs can cross-connect VT1.5 signals in up to 48 STS-1 signals.

Refer to Procedure 12-1: Upgrade cross-connect capacity/port density upgrade of high-speed OLIU circuit packs at a node and then repeat this procedure.

The LNW26B-type circuit packs with the Circuit Pack Mode jumper set as ENHANCED are supported in 9.1.x.

Proceed to Procedure 2-4.2: Upgrade software generic via FTAM (5.1.3/5.1.7 to 9.1.x) to upgrade the 5.1.x shelf to 9.1.x.
