Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a module or a fan. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard. Statement 206

Step 1 Initiate a Force switch on the ports you will upgrade, beginning with the protect port:

Note If the switching mode is bidirectional in the 1+1 protection group, apply the Force command to only one end of the span. If the Force command is applied to both ends when the switching mode is bidirectional, it will cause a switch of more than 50 ms in duration.

a.In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.

b.Choose the protection group from the Protection Groups area. In the Selected Group area, the working and protect spans appear.

c.In the Selected Group area, click the protect STM-N port.

d.In Switch Commands, choose Force.

e.Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

FORCE-SWITCH-TO-WORKING appears next to the forced span.

Step 2 Repeat Step 1 for each port you will upgrade.

Step 3 Remove the fiber from both ends of the span and ensure that traffic is still running.

Step 4 Remove the STM-N cards from both span endpoints.

Step 5 At both ends of the span, in node view, right-click the STM-N slot and choose Change Card.

 

 

 

Step 6

In the Change Card dialog box, choose the new STM-N card type.

 

 

 

Step 7

Click OK.

 

 

 

Step 8

Complete the “NTP-D16 Install STM-N Cards and Connectors” procedure on page 2-7to install the new

 

 

 

 

STM-N cards in both endpoints.
