PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 provides a firmware upgrade capability for the 012E module, which is
equipped with programmable flash memory. The firmware to upgrade this module resides on a
Backup/Restore PC Card.
The steps to perform a firmware upgrade are the same as those to upgrade the system software.
See “Using a PC Card” on page 10-2.
Check the LEDs 10
While a 1600 DSL or 012E module is undergoing a firmware upgrade, the power LEDs appear as
follows:
■ The power LED on the 1600 DSL and/or the 012E module is initially steady green for 10 to 20
seconds, then flashes for another 5 to 10 seconds.
■ The LED on the processor module flashes green while the firmware upgrade is in progress.
■ The LEDs on other modules residing in the carrier that are not being upgraded are off.
The firmware upgrade process occurs for one module at a time. After successful completion of the
upgrade for one module, the system resets after 3 to 10 seconds and begins the firmware upgrade
of the next module, if required. The firmware upgrades begin with modules in the left-most slot to
the right-most slot of the carrier. Once a successful firmware upgrade as been completed for all
modules, all power LEDs are steady green.
Some modules do not display the LED off during a firmware upgrade of other
modules. The power LED on the 1600 DSL module is steady green and the power
LED on the PARTNER Messaging module is steady amber while firmware is
upgraded on other modules.
