9.3.3Restoring the System Configuration

Once the new SS7G20SHDD has been installed, the previous system configuration should be restored. The ISO9660 format CD-ROM containing backup of the system configuration, System License, protocol licenses and operating software, which was described in Section 9.3.1, “Backing up the System Configuration” on page 56, should be inserted into the CD-ROM drive. The system will install the backup files from the CD-ROM at startup and may automatically restart if a different version of the SS7G2x Software Distribution is being installed.

After the restoration process has completed, the CD-ROM should be removed to prevent the backup configuration from overwriting subsequent configurations.
