Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting
2.7.168 IMPROPRMVL
Caution Do not remove a card during a card reboot. If CTC begins to reboot a card before you remove the card,
allow the card to finish rebooting. After the card reboots, delete the card in CTC again and physically
remove the card before it begins to reboot.
Note CTC gives the user approximately 15 seconds to physically remove the card before CTC begins a card
reboot.
Note It can take up to 30 minutes for software to be updated on a standby TCC2/TCC2P.
