Warning: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place your hand
into an open slot or the backplane when the ERX system is on. Remove jewelry
(including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on equipment that is
connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric shock and serious burns.
Caution: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected to the
ERX system’s ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect the module from
damage by electrostatic discharge.
2Connect the antistatic wrist strap to the ESD grounding jack on your
ERX system.
3Power down the system (see Chapter6, Powering Up the System).
4Remove the SRP I/O module.
5Replace the NVS card on the SRP module (see Replacing an NVS
Card, later in this chapter).
6Power up the system (see Chapter 6, Powering Up the System).
Upgrading a System That Contains Two SRP Modules
In a system that contains two SRP modules, you can upgrade the NVS
cards on the SRP modules without powering down the system.
Warning: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place your hand
into an open slot or the backplane when the ERX system is on. Remove jewelry
(including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on equipment that is
connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric shock and serious burns.
Caution: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected to the
ERX system’s ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect the module from
damage by electrostatic discharge.
To upgrade the NVS cards on the SRP modules in a system that contains
two SRP modules:
1Connect the antistatic wrist strap to the ESD grounding jack on your
ERX system.
2Reboot the redundant SRP module.
