Chapter 1      Install the Shelf and Common Control Cards
DLP-G33 Install the TCC2 or TCC2P Card
Note If you are logged into CTC, the SFTWDOWN alarm might appear as many as two times while 
the TCC2P card initializes. The alarm should clear after the card completely boots.
Note If the FAIL LED is on continuously, see the tip in Step 8 about the TCC2P card automatic 
upload.
Step 5 Verify that the ACT/STBY LED is green if this is the first powered-up TCC2/TCC2P card installed, or 
yellow for standby if this is the second powered-up TCC2/TCC2P. The IP address, temperature of the 
node, and time of day appear on the LCD. The default time and date is 12:00 AM, January 1, 1970. 
Step 6 The LCD cycles through the IP address, node name, and software version. Verify that the correct 
software version displays on the LCD. 
Step 7 If the LCD shows the correct software version, continue with Step 8. If the LCD does not show the 
correct software version, refer to your next level of technical support, upgrade the software, or remove 
the TCC2/TCC2P card and install a replacement card. 
Refer to the release-specific software upgrade document to replace the software. To exchange the 
TCC2/TCC2P card, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH 
Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 8 Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for the redundant TCC2/TCC2P card If both TCC2/TCC2P cards are already 
installed, proceed to Step 9. 
Tip If you install a standby TCC2/TCC2P card that has a different software version than the active 
TCC card, the newly installed standby TCC2/TCC2P card automatically copies the software 
version from the active TCC2/TCC2P card. You do not need to do anything in this situation. 
However, the loading TCC2/TCC2P card does not boot up in the normal manner. When the 
standby card is first inserted, the LEDs follow most of then normal bootup sequence. After the 
red FAIL LED turns on for about 5 seconds, the FAIL LED and the ACT/STBY LED begin to 
flash alternately for up to 30 minutes while the new software loads onto the active TCC2/TCC2P 
card. After loading the new software, the upgraded TCC2/TCC2P card’s LEDs repeat the 
appropriate bootup sequence, and the amber ACT/STBY LED turns on.
Note If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDs turn off. 
Note Alarm LEDs might be on; disregard alarm LEDs until you are logged into CTC and can view the 
Alarms tab.
Step 9 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
