Chapter 8 Switch Maintenance Procedures
Adding Cards
Note After installation, each card should be initialized with the setrev command only once. For
instructions on upgrading the software on a card, refer to Appendix A, “Downloading and
Installing Software Upgrades.”
Step 4 When prompted to confirm the command and reset the card, type y and press Return.
After you confirm the command, the slot initializes, the runtime firmware loads on the AXSM card, and
the card resets. Be patient—the card reset takes a couple of minutes. While the card is resetting, you can
use the dspcds command to display the status of the AXSM card. If you enter the command frequently,
you will see the card state change from Empty to Boot/Empty to Empty to Init/Empty and finally to
Active/Active.
Step 5 To verify that the new card is running the correct firmware, enter the dspcd command with the correct
slot number. The following example shows that the AXSM card in slot 1 is running firmware version
2.1(0).
