42Chapter 3 Installing the Passport 8672ATME Module

Initialization

When the Passport 8672ATME Module is installed into a Passport 8600 series chassis, ensure that the switch fabric module (either the Passport 8690SF or Passport 8691SF module) in the same chassis has a PCMCIA card inserted and that the PCMCIA card contains the p80t3200.dld image, which supports the Passport 8672ATME Module. For more information about the PCMCIA slot and Passport 8690SF and Passport 8691SF modules, refer to the installation guide that came with your switch.

The switch fabric module (Passport 8690SF or Passport 8691SF) retrieves the image file p80t3200.dld to download to the Passport 8672ATME Module. First, the switch fabric module searches the host flash memory for the file, then the PCMCIA card. The switch fabric module downloads the image file to the Passport 8672ATME Module and identifies which MDAs are installed. The screen displays following message:

Using image = /slot/p80t3200.dld for ATM card download. ATM card: Slot 4 MDA [OC-12c MM] [Quad OC-3c MM] Ver=2.2

If the image file is not found in either the flash memory or the PCMCIA, the system stops and the screen displays an error message such as:

ERROR Task=rcStart Couldn’t find an ATM download image! Aborting card initialization in Slot=4

or:

ERROR Task=rcStart portPresent:port=X/X, invalid port Type

The Passport 8672ATME Module requests a redownload from the switch fabric module, and the screen displays the following message:

Redownload requested by ATM card in slot <number>.

If the image download is unsuccessful, the screen displays the following message:

ATM card in slot <number> not ready.

If there are three unsuccessful attempts to download, the screen displays the message shown in Figure 10.
