NoneSecurity Level
Do not remove the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O cards during the software installation process,
which is indicated by alternate flashing FAIL and ACT/STBY LEDs. Removing the
TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O cards during the software installation process will corrupt the
system memory.
Caution
Allow each TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O card to boot completely before installing the redundant
TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O card.
Note
On the NCS 2006 shelf, install the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O cards in slots 1 and 8 for
redundancy. On the NCS 2002 shelf, install the stand-alone TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in slot 1. On
the NCS 2015 shelf, install the TNCS/TNCS-O cards in slots 1 and 17 for redundancy.
Note
You cannot insert the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O cards in other slots due to mechanical
constraints. To identify the card slot, match the symbol placed on the lower side of the card front panel
with the symbol in the shelf.
Note
The firmware upgrade of the OTDR functionality of the TNCS-O card might take up to 1 hour and 15
minutes, depending on the node configuration. An automatic retry mechanism is available in case of any
issues during the upgrade. The TNCS-O card is fully functional during the firmware upgrade except for
the OTDR feature, which is available only after the completion of the firmware upgrade.
