NTP- D234 Upgrade the XC-VXL-2.5G Card to the XC-VXL-10G or XC-VXC-10G Card
NTP-D234 Upgrade the XC-VXL-2.5G Card to the XC-VXL-10G or
XC-VXC-10G Card
Note This procedure applies only to XC-VXL-2.5G cards that are installed in nodes running Software R4.0
and later, R9.0 if you are upgrading to XC-VXC-10G cards.
Note The XC-VXL-2.5G card works only with card speeds up to STM-16.
Note The UNEQ-P alarm is raised during a cross-connect card upgrade if you have E100T-12 or E1000-2
cards installed in the node. The alarm will clear within a few seconds.
Caution Always upgrade the standby cross-connect card. Removing an active cross-connect card can cause a
protection switch unless a lockout is in place. If the standby card is being upgraded, a lockout is
unnecessary.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49. If you are already logged in, continue with
Step 2.
Step 2 Determine the standby XC-VXL-2.5G card. The ACT/STBY LED of the standby XC-VXL-2.5G card is
amber, and the ACT/STBY LED of the active XC-VXL-2.5G card is green.
Note You can also place the cursor on the card graphic in Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) to display
a pop-up that identifies the card as Active or Standby.
Step 3 Physically replace the standby XC-VXL-2.5G card on the shelf with an XC-VXL-10G or XC-VXC-10G
card:
a. Open the XC-VXL-2.5G card ejectors.
b. Slide the card out of the slot. This raises the IMPROPRMVL alarm, which will clear when the upgrade
is complete.
c. Open the ejectors on the XC-VXL-10G or XC-VXC-10G card.
d. Slide the XC-VXL-10G or XC-VXC-10G card into the slot along the guide rails.
e. Close the ejectors.
Purpose This procedure upgrades XC-VXL-2.5G cards to XC-VXL-10G or
XC-VXC-10G cards.
