NTP-A220 Upgrade the XCVT Card to the XC10G Card
NTP-A220 Upgrade the XCVT Card to the XC10G Card
Note The XC10G requires the 15454-SA-ANSI or the 15454-SA-HD.
Note The UNEQ-P alarm is raised during a cross-connect card upgrade if you have E100T-12/E1000-2 cards
installed in the node. The alarm will clear within a few seconds.
Note The Interconnection Equipment Failure alarm may appear during the upgrade procedure, but will clear
when the upgrade is complete and the node has matching cross-connect cards installed.
Note Downgrading from XC10G cards to XCVT cards is not supported. Contact Cisco Technical Assistance
Center (TAC) for more information see the “Obtaining Documentation, Obtaining Support, and Security
Guidelines” section on page lvi.
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-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at the node where you will perform the
upgrade. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 According to local site practice, complete the “NTP-A108 Back Up the Database” procedure on
page 15-4.
Step 3 Determine the standby XCVT card. The ACT/STBY LED of the standby XCVT card is amber, while the
ACT/STBY LED of the active XCVT card is green.
Step 4 Physically replace the standby XCVT card on the ONS 15454 with an XC10G card:
a. Open the XCVT 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 XC10G card.
d. Slide the XC10G card into the slot along the guide rails.
e. Close the ejectors.
Purpose This procedure upgrades XCVT card to an XC10G card.
