iv ABOUT THIS GUIDE
1 INTRODUCTION General The CoreBuilder 7000HD Switch Engine 32MB Memory Upgrade Kit (3C37041) increases the ATM switching capacity, measured in calls, by a factor of four to five. This upgrade is available in conjunction with the CoreBuilder 7000 family software version 4.0, and replaces the existing 16MB memory included on the switch board. Installation of the memory upgrade is simple, and no other modifications are required. Software version 4.
1-2 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Special Key ESD Wrist Strap #1 Flat Head Screwdriver Safety Precautions Installation Upgrade Kit Before working with any component in the CoreBuilder 7000 System, read and adhere to the following safety precautions. ESD Safety Information Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage components on the system module. ESD, which occurs when the module or a component is improperly handled, can cause complete or intermittent failures.
Safety Precautions 1-3 Information sur la prévention de décharges électrostatiques Les décharges électrostatiques peuvent endommager des éléments du module. Ces décharges, qui surviennent lors d’une manipulation inadéquate du module, peuvent entraîner une défaillance temporaire ou permanente. ATTENTION: Pour éviter des dommages électrostatiques: Assurez-vous d’être bien branché à la terre.
1-4 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION VORSICHT: Zur Verhütung von Schadën durch ESD: Vergewissern Sie sich, daß Sie richtig geerdet sind. Benutzen Sie ein Fußband und eine geerdete Matte oder tragen Sie ein geerdetes Handgelenkband mit gutem Hautkontakt. Lassen Sie das Modul bis zur Installation in der Anti-Statik-Tasche. 32MB Memory Upgrade SIMM This section explains how to handle and identify the 32MB Memory Upgrade SIMM.
32MB MEMORY UPGRADE INSTALLATION ON THE COREBUILDER 7000HD SWITCH MODULE 2 32MB Memory Upgrade Steps Step 1 Removing the CoreBuilder 7000HD Switch Module from the Chassis Before starting, make sure that you wearing the ESD wrist strap and that you are properly connected to grounding equipment as described in “Safety Precautions” on page 1-2. Disconnect the cables from the module’s ports.
2-2 CHAPTER 2: 32MB MEMORY UPGRADE INSTALLATION ON THE COREBUILDER 7000HD SWITCH MODULE Loosening the Captive Screws Grasp the ejector handles of the card and push them outward (Figure 2-2). This ejects the card slightly. You may have to apply considerable force to the handles in order to eject the card. You will hear a “click” to indicate that the connections have separated, and the card will slide slightly forward out of the CoreBuilder chassis.
32MB Memory Upgrade Steps 2-3 Opening the Ejector Handles Make sure that the screws have been loosened enough so that they “float” in the holes and do not catch on the front panel. Keeping the ejectors in the openmost position, remove the switch module by sliding it outwards. If you experience difficulty in removing the switch, insert the special key in the space above the switch module on the right side near the black handle of the power supply (Figure 2-3).
2-4 CHAPTER 2: 32MB MEMORY UPGRADE INSTALLATION ON THE COREBUILDER 7000HD SWITCH MODULE Inserting the Special Key Raise the key and slide the switch module out (Figure 2-4). Sliding the Switch Module Out Using both hands, pull the switch module out.
32MB Memory Upgrade Steps 2-5 Only use the special key provided if you have difficulty in removing the switch module. Place the switch module on a grounded surface or antistatic bag with all components facing up. Step 2 Removing the 16MB Memory SIMM The memory SIMM is located on the lower left corner of the module when the front panel is facing you. (Figure 2-5) On the top of the memory SIMM there are two metal spring clips (one on each side of the SIMM) that hold the SIMM in place (Figure 2-6).
2-6 CHAPTER 2: 32MB MEMORY UPGRADE INSTALLATION ON THE COREBUILDER 7000HD SWITCH MODULE Metal Spring Clip Side View of the Memory SIMM With your thumbs, push the clips outward to release the SIMM. When pressed, the SIMM releases and rises slightly (Figure 2-7). Removing the 16MB SIMM With your thumb and index finger, remove the SIMM from the connector at a 45 degree angle (Figure 2-8).
32MB Memory Upgrade Steps Step 3 2-7 Removing the 16MB SIMM at a 45 Degree Angle Inserting the 32MB Memory SIMM Remove the 32MB Memory SIMM from the packaging material. Make sure that the front panel of the switch module is facing you, and that the switch is on proper grounding material, or an antistatic bag. Make sure that you hold the SIMM as follows: The cutout on the gold connector edge is facing the front panel (Figure 1-2). The SIMM is held at a 45 degree angle.
2-8 CHAPTER 2: 32MB MEMORY UPGRADE INSTALLATION ON THE COREBUILDER 7000HD SWITCH MODULE Cutout Inserting the 32MB Memory SIMM With one or two fingers (not on the chips) gently press down. A click is heard when the SIMM is in place (Figure 2-10).
Verifying 32MB Memory Upgrade Step 4 2-9 Returning the CoreBuilder 7000HD Switch Module back to the Chassis Orient the Switch Module so its labelling is upright and make sure the eject handles are in the outward position. Insert the module into the chassis by placing it in the guides of the selected slot and slide the module with two fingers until it stops. While inserting the module, raise it up a little and slide it in. Grab both ejector handles and push them inward.
