When an UltraNet Edge 3000 chassis is replaced, contact McDATA Technical Support to receive a License Key for the new hardware replacement. The License Key is based on the serial number of the new unit and feature functionality that was originally ordered with the unit. See the section “Replacing the UltraNet Edge 3000 Chassis” in Chapter 12 for details about removing and re-installing all interface cards in the chassis.

Obtain the most current version of UltraNet ConfigManager (UCM) from McDATA and install it on the Windows PC used to configure the network.

NOTE: An on-site hardware replacement can be initiated using the UltraNet Edge 3000’s serial interface with the McDATA supplied serial cable. If this is preferred over Ethernet connectivity, use the “Upgrading the UltraNet Edge 3000 - Remote Dial-up” procedure. Where it states to dial-in, simply connect using terminal emulation on the PC Com port.
