Upgrading with Software From the New Processor Card

Follow these steps to ensure that the node’s configuration is not lost. If you do not follow this procedure, CMEM will be overwritten.

Step	Action

1	At the control terminal, use the Node Statistics to confirm that the node
	is running software from RAM and that FLASH is enabled.
	If FLASH is disabled, enable FLASH by doing the following:
	a) Select FLASH Memory from the Main menu
	b) Select Enable FLASH.

2	Remove the master 6500PLUS processor card (in lowest-numbered slot).
3	Exchange the ID Module and CMEM chips between the master
	6500PLUS processor card and the new 6500PLUS processor card.
	See the “Replacing ID Modules” section on page 2-63and “Replacing
	the CMEM Chip” section on page 2-65for instructions.

4	Install the new 6500PLUS processor card in the lowest-numbered slot
	and install the former master processor card in the slot to the right.

5	At the control terminal, use the Node Statistics to confirm that the node
	is running the new software.
	If the new software is not running, the FLASH memory may not have
	been enabled on the new processor card. Enable the FLASH memory
	and cold boot the node to force loading from FLASH memory.

6	At the control terminal:
	a) Select FLASH Memory from the Main menu.
	b) Select Copy Software to FLASH.
