Chapter 12 Upgrade Cards and Spans
NTP-A93 Upgrade the DS3-12 Card to the DS3-12E Card
Wait for the TCC2 card to reboot. The ONS 15454 switches the standby TCC2P card to active mode.
The TCC2 card verifies that it has the same database as the TCC2P card and then switches to standby.
Step 8 Verify that the remaining TCC2 card is now in standby mode (the ACT/STBY LED changes to amber).
Step 9 Perform Step 5 to physically replace the remaining TCC2 card with the second TCC2P card.
The ONS 15454 boots up the second TCC2P card. The second TCC2P card must also copy the database,
which can take approximately 10 minutes. Do not remove the card from the shelf during a database
transfer.
Step 10 If power-related alarms occur after the second TCC2P card is installed, check the voltage on the
backplane. See the “DLP-A33 Measure Voltage” task on page 17-39 for instructions. Refer to the Cisco
ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for information on clearing alarms.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-A93 Upgrade the DS3-12 Card to the DS3-12E Card
Note Upgrades must be performed between two N-type cards or two non-N-type cards. You cannot upgrade
between an N-type card and a non-N-type card. When physically replacing a card, the new card must be
in the same slot as the old card. The DS3-12E card upgrade supports 1:1 and 1:N protection schemes.
The procedure is non-service affecting for protected cards; that is, the upgrade will cause a switch less
than 50 ms in duration.
Caution Protect cards must be upgraded before working cards because working cards cannot have more
capabilities than their protect card.
Note During the upgrade some minor alarms and conditions appear and then clear on their own; however, there
should be no Service-Affecting (SA, Major, or Critical) alarms if you are upgrading protected cards.
(Upgrading an unprotected card can be service affecting.) If any service-affecting alarms occur, Cisco
recommends backing out of the procedure. See the “NTP-A254 Downgrade a DS3-12E/DS3NE Card to
a DS3-12/DS3N-12 Card” procedure on page 12-10.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66. If you are already logged in, continue with
Step 2.
Purpose This procedure upgrades the DS3-12 card to the DS3-12E card or the
DS3N-12 card to the DS3N-12E card. This procedure can also be used
to enable the capabilities of a DS3-12E card that was installed in a shelf
with Software R3.1 or earlier.
