40Chapter 3 Installing the Passport 8683POS Module
Verifying installation
The Passport 8683POS Module front panel has an Online LED that indicates whether or not the module has power applied and is initialized correctly. For information on online LEDs, see “Online LED” on page 27.
Note: You cannot configure the Passport 8683POS Module until the online LED on the module is steadily lit and you have inserted at least one MDA.
Initialization
When the Passport 8683POS Module is installed into a Passport 8600 series chassis, ensure that the Passport 8690SF module in the same chassis has a PCMCIA card inserted and that the PCMCIA card contains the p80p3100.dld image, which supports the Passport 8683POS Module. For more information about the PCMCIA slot and the Passport 8690SF module, refer to Using the Passport 8600 Modules.
The Passport 8690SF module retrieves the image file p80t3100.dld to download to the Passport 8683POS Module. First, the Passport 8690SF module searches the host flash memory for the file, then the PCMCIA card. The Passport 8690SF module downloads the image file to the Passport 8683POS Module and identifies which MDAs are installed. The screen displays following message:
Downloading POS image | to slot <number> | Done (file |
name and image size.) |
|
|
If the image file is not found in either the flash memory or the PCMCIA, the screen displays this message:
POS image file name not found either in FLASH or PCMCIA.
If the image download is unsuccessful, the screen displays the following message:
Card is off line.
