Installation & Operation Manual 45. Hardware Replacement
45.2.4 Installing the Software on the Replaced SC Board
The Media Gateway software must be installed on a replaced SC board.
WARNING
Be sure to install exactly the same Media Gateway software version on the replaced
SC board as was installed on the original SC board prior to failure.
See 'Installing Mediant 8000 Software on the SC Board to Operate as the Standby
board' on page 140 for a detailed installation procedure.
45.3 Media Gateway Board Replacement Procedure
In the unlikely event of a Media Gateway board failure, the Mediant 8000 automatically
notifies users with an alarm. Replace the failed board as soon as possible to restore
the system to its engineered configuration. Media Gateway boards are hot-
swappable, meaning that the board can be inserted and removed when the Mediant
8000 is under power.
45.3.1 Replacing the Failed Media Gateway Board
The procedures for replacing the TP-6310 and 8410 Media Gateway boards are
identical.
To remove a Media Gateway board from the chassis:
1. In the EMS, lock the Media Gateway board to be replaced. For more information
see 'Working with the Media Gateway Boards' on page 245.
2. Unfasten the screws on the plate of the board.
3. Gently pull the two black ejector/injector latches on both ends outwards (not
actually removing the board) and wait for the Hot Swap blue LED to light,
indicating that the board can be removed.
4. Pull on the two ejector/injector latches and ease out the board from the slot.
To insert a Media Gateway board into the chassis:
1. Hold the board Vertical.
2. With the black ejector/injector latches in the open (pulled out) position, insert the
board in the slot, aligning the board on the grooves on each end.
3. Ease the board all the way into the slot until the ejector/injector latches touch the
chassis.
4. Press the two black ejector/injector latches on both ends inward, toward the
middle until you hear a click.
5. The Blue hotswap LED is lit momentarily. (If the Blue LED does not turn off, see
the 'Diagnostics' on page 832.)
