Nortel Networks 400 4.0, BCM200 manual To install the media services card MSC

306Chapter 24 Replacing data cards and processing hardware

To install the media services card (MSC)

Warning: Protect the hardware components against damage from electrostatic discharge. Always wear a grounded wrist strap before you handle components. Always place the components in a static-free container.

Note: If you purchased optional BCM applications that require keycode activation, regenerate the keycodes after you install the replacement MSC. For further information, see “Software keycode” on page 181.

Note: If you need to install a new MSC, you must upload core software from the hard disk. If you reinstall the same MSC, the core software on the MSC is the most current version and no core software upload is necessary.

Note: You require a current backup of your system data to restore the system after you install the new MSC.

1Disconnect the BCM system from the wall power outlet.

2Attach one end of the grounding strap to your wrist and the other end to a grounded metal surface.

3Install the processor expansion cards (PEC IIIs) in the MSC. Refer to the procedure “Installing a processor expansion card (PEC)” on page 314.

4Position the MSC in the correct PCI riser card connector.

5Push the card firmly and fully into the PCI riser card connector. Ensure the lanclet tab on the MSC PCI bracket aligns correctly with the lanclet slot on the base function tray.

6Install the two mounting screws at the rear of the MSC (see Figure 164).

7Position the PCI cover plate on the front of the base function tray so that the base function tray and cover plate screw holes align.

8Position the PCI cover plate locking screw in the PCI cover plate. Tighten the PCI cover plate locking screw until the plate is firmly set in place (see Figure 163).

9Install the base function tray bezel. See “To install the base function tray bezel” on page 238.

10Partially install the base function tray in the main unit.

11Connect the DS30 connectors to the MSC.

12Install the base function tray completely into the main unit. Be careful not to crimp the DS30 cables (see “To install the base function tray” on page 236).

13Insert all connectors in the correct locations on the base function tray face.

14Restore the BCM system to operation. For details, refer to “Restarting the system after maintenance” on page 232.
