Chapter 12 Upgrade Cards and Spans
NTP-A296 Upgrade the TCC2 Card to the TCC2P Card
Step 1 Verify that the LAN wires on the backplane are installed properly. The TCC2 card does not autodetect
miswired LAN connections. If a LAN connection is miswired, a “LAN Connection Polarity Reversed”
condition appears. See the “DLP-A21 Install LAN Wires on the Backplane” task on page 17-26 for
instructions.
Step 2 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66. If you are already logged in, continue with
Step 2.
Step 3 Ensure that no alarms or abnormal conditions are present. See the “DLP-A298 Check the Network for
Alarms and Conditions” task on page 19-63 for instructions.
Step 4 Before you begin the upgrade, complete the “NTP-A108 Back Up the Database” procedure on
page 15-4. Make sure ONS 15454 Software R4.0 or later is installed on the node. Refer to the
release-specific software upgrade document. TCC2 and TCC2P cards are not compatible with releases
prior to Software R4.0.
Step 5 Physically replace the standby TCC2 card on the ONS 15454 with a TCC2P card.
a. Check the LED on the faceplate. The ACT/STBY LED on the faceplate of the TCC2 card indicates
whether the card is in active or standby mode. A green ACT/STBY LED indicates an active card and
an amber light indicates a standby card.
b. Open the standby TCC2 card ejectors.
c. Slide the card out of the slot. This raises the IMPROPRMVL alarm which will clear when the upgrade
is complete.
d. Open the ejectors on the TCC2P card to be installed.
e. Slide the TCC2P card into the slot along the guide rails.
f. Close the ejectors.
g. In CTC node view, Ldg (loading) appears on the recently installed TCCP2 card.
Note During a TCC2 upgrade, the CONTBUS-IO-A or CONTBUS-IO-B TCC A (or B) To Shelf Slot
Communication Failure alarm is raised as the TCC2 briefly loses communication with the
backplane. This alarm usually clears after approximately 13 minutes. If the condition does not
clear after a period, log onto http://www.cisco.com/tac for more information or call TAC
(800) 553-2447.
Note It takes approximately 10 minutes for the active TCC2 card to transfer the database to the
newly-installed TCC2P card. During this operation, the LEDs on the TCC2P flash Fail and then
the active/standby LED flashes. When the transfer completes, the TCC2P card reboots and goes
into standby mode after approximately three minutes. Do not remove the card from the shelf
during a database transfer.
Caution If your active TCC2 card resets during the upgrade before the new TCC2P card has come to a full standby
mode, remove the new TCC2P card immediately.
Step 6 When the newly installed TCC2P card is in standby, go to the active TCC2and right-click the card.
Step 7 From the drop-down list, click Reset Card.
