Add a Switch Node Carrier (Standard Reliability)
To upgrade to a standard reliability R8r with Center Stage Switch (CSS), a switch
node carrier is add ed either to an empty “ E” carrier position of an existing
multicarrier port network or to the “ D” carrier po sition.
NOTE:
To avoid moving a port carrier, the p referred practice is to place the new
switch node carrier in an empty carrier position.

1. Since the addition of the switc h node carrier requires a se rvice
interruption, notify the customer in ad vance as to when the add ition will
take place.

problems. The system must be alarm-free.
