Step13 Insert the new high-density electrical card into Slot 1/Slot 17. Be sure to remove the plastic protective
covers on rear of the card before installing the card:
a. Open the ejectors on the card.
b. Slide the card into the slot along the guide rails.

Wait for the IMPROPRMVL alarm to clear and the card to become standby. For more information about

Note If you have upgraded to a DS3/EC1-48 card and are using 734A cables with UBIC electrical
interface adapters (EIAs), you must set the LBO for Ports 13 to 48, doing so according to the
actual distance (in feet) from the LBX panel.
If you are using 735A cables, you must set the LBO for Ports 13 to 48, doing so according to the
following conventions:
Actual distance from the DSX panel is less than 110 feet (33.53 m):
LBO setting is ” 0- 225.”
Actual distance from the DSX panel is greater than or equal to 110 feet (33.53 m):
LBO setting is “226to 450.”
Step15 As necessary, repeat Steps 4 through 14 for other low-density electrical cards you want to upgrade.
Step16 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
