Adding a Secondary 6500PLUS Processor with FLASH

Introduction	When adding another 6500PLUS processor card to a node, be sure that all processor
	cards are running the same software revision. 6500PLUS processor cards redistributed
	within a network may contain different revisions of software.

When To Add Another Processor with FLASH

Before You Begin

Two situations in which you may add an additional 6500PLUS processor card with FLASH memory to a node are when you want to:

•Maintain the current software revision

•Upgrade with software from the new 6500PLUS processor card In both cases, the FLASH Enable Option is required.

These situations apply to the 6507PLUS and 6525PLUS nodes. A 6505PLUS node does not support multiple processor cards.

Follow these steps to access the control terminal port:

Step	Action	Result/Description

1	Connect a terminal to a local PAD
	port, and enter the following at the
	(*) prompt:
	.ctp <CR>

2	Enter the password when you are	The default password is <CR>.
	prompted.	After you enter the password, the
		Main menu appears.
