Installing the Processor in the Carrier 2
To install the processor in the carrier, follow the steps below. Refer to 
Figure 2-11.
1. Align the circuit board guides inside the carrier, and slide the processor 
module into the slot.
2. Make sure that the connector on the module mates properly with the 
connector on the carrier as you push the processor back into place.
If the system is programmed for Permanent Key mode, check the 
switch setting. Refer to “Modifying the Processor for Key Mode” in 
Chapter 9 for detailed procedures. If the switch is set to Permanent 
Key-only operation, all trunks revert to loop-start. If the switch is not 
set, any programmed designation for ground-start trunks is retained.
The ground-start pool never has trunks assigned to it automatically but 
must be programmed after the ground-start ports are designated. 
Ground-start trunks are assigned to the ground-start pool on 
initialization, except in a system switched for Permanent Key mode 
operation.
The processor module contains a PCMCIA memory card interface 
capable of accommodating a 4 MB memory card. This card is used to 
install or upgrade system software and perform firmware upgrades on 
circuit modules. It can be used to back up and restore system 
programming.
