Migrating hardware
Issue 2.1 June 2006 613
The IPSIs are hot swappable.
If all the PNs are direct-connect, Avaya recommends that you install one IPSI in the existing
PPN rather than in one of the EPNs. But before you install the IPSI, you must convert the PPN
to an EPN. This process requires that you:
● Replace the processor control carrier with an EPN.
● Remove all the control circuit packs.
This migration affects service because you must turn off the PPN to replace the carrier. Before
you turn off the cabinet, you must perform some premigration administration.
S8700 IP:
When you migrate an existing DEFINITY Server SI direct-connect in an MCC to the S8710 with
a direct-connect configuration, you use one TN2312BP IPSI circuit pack to control from one to
three PNs. Avaya recommends that you install the IPSI in the A carrier in the existing PPN
rather than in one of the EPNs. But before you install the IPSI, you must take the following steps
to convert the PPN to a PN. This process requires that you:
● Replace the processor control carrier with an expansion control carrier.
● Remove all the control circuit packs.
This migration affects service because you must turn off the PPN to replace the carrier.
DEFINITY Server SI in an SCC
S8700 IP
When you migrate an existing DEFINITY Server SI Direct-Connect in an SCC, you use one
TN2312BP IPSI circuit pack to control from one to three PNs. Avaya recommends that you
install the IPSI in the cabinet in the A position in the existing PPN rather than in one of the
EPNs. But before you installing the IPSI, you must convert the PPN to a PN. This process
requires that you:
● Replace the processor control cabinet with an expansion control cabinet.
● Remove all the control circuit packs.
This migration affects service because you must turn off the PPN stack to replace the cabinet.
