NTP-D333 Upgrade the XC-VXL-10G Card to the XC-VXC-10G
Card
Note This procedure applies only to XC-VXL-10G cards that are installed in nodes running Software R6.0
and later.
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-10G card. The ACT/STBY LED of the standby XC-VXL-10G card is
amber, and the ACT/STBY LED of the active XC-VXL-10G card is green.
Note You can also place the cursor on the card graphic in CTC to display a pop-up that identifies the
card as Active or Standby.
Step 3 Physically replace the standby XC-VXL-10G card on the shelf with an XC-VXC-10G card:
a. Open the XC-VXL-10G 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-VXC-10G card.
d. Slide the XC-VXC-10G card into the slot along the guide rails.
e. Close the ejectors.
On the XC-VXC-10G card, the fail LED above the ACT/STBY LED becomes red, blinks for some
time (20 to 30 seconds), and turns off. The ACT/STBY LED turns amber and remains illuminated.
Step 4 In node view, click the Maintenance > Cross-Connect tabs.
Purpose This procedure upgrades the XC-VXL-10G card to the XC-VXC-10G
card.
