Chapter 12 Upgrade Cards and Spans
NTP- D374 Upgrade STM-N Cards Manually
Step 2 According to local site practice, complete the “NTP-D108 Back Up the Database” procedure on
page 15-5.
Step 3 Ensure that no alarms or abnormal conditions (regardless of severity), including LOS, LOF, AIS-L, SF,
and SD are present. See the “DLP-D298 Check the Network for Alarms and Conditions” task on
page 19-83. During the upgrade, the IMPROPRMVL alarm may be raised but will clear automatically.
Step 4 In the node view, right-click the card you want to upgrade and choose the Change Card option. The
Change Card dialog box appears.
Note The Change Card option is available only if the hardware necessary for the upgrade is present;
for example, no upgrade is possible from an STM-64 card unless the XC-VXC-10G or
XC-VXL-10G cards are installed in the node.
Step 5 Choose the card to upgrade to from the Change to drop-down list.
Step 6 Choose the rate from the Port Rate drop-down list. This field is available only for multi-rate cards.
Step 7 Click OK to upgrade the STM-N card to the selected higher-rate STM-N card. An MEA (EQPT) alarm
is raised because the physical card type does not match the card type provisioned for that slot in CTC.
Step 8 Replace the physical STM-N card with the card selected in Step 7. This clears the MEA (EQPT) alarm.
When replacing the PPMs for the upgraded card, ensure that the reach of the PPMs match the values for
the upgraded card.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
