pack.
!
CAUTION:
When circuit packs in the Active SPE are to be replaced, this section 
provides procedures for performing an SPE-interchange to place the circuit 
packs in the Standby SPE mode. SPE circuit packs should never be 
replaced while they are located in the Active SPE.
Use this section when:
1. Defective (that is, alarmed) Active or Standby SPE circuit packs are to be 
replaced. The procedure begins at the ‘‘
Replacing Defective SPE Circuit 
Packs’’ section. Ignore the ‘‘Upgrading SPE Circuit Packs’’ section, as it 
does not apply to replacing defective Standby SPE circuit packs.
2. Healthy Standby SPE circuit packs are to be upgraded. The procedure 
begins at the ‘‘
Upgrading SPE Circuit Packs’’ section. Ignore the 
‘‘
Replacing Defective SPE Circuit Packs’’ as it does not apply to 
upgrading Standby SPE circuit packs.
The ‘‘
Circuit Pack Replacement Procedure’’ and ‘‘Additional Tests for Replaced 
DATA-CHL, PKT-CTRL, and PROCR Circuit Packs’’ sections apply to both 
situations but should be referred to only after reading the appropriate sections 
as instructed previously.
Replacing Defective SPE Circuit Packs
Determine that software is running by looking at the G3MT and verifying that it 
does not have either the “SPE DOWN MODE” or the “Duplication Interface - 
Processing Element Communication Down” message displayed. 
Software Not Running
If system software is not running or if it stops running at any point during this 
procedure, the suggested order of Processor Complex circuit packs to replace 
in an attempt to fix the SPE down problem is:
■ Processor Circuit Pack (TN790)
■ Network Control Circuit Pack (TN777[B])
■ Packet Control circuit pack (TN778)
■ Duplication Interface circuit pack (TN772)
■ Processor Interface circuit pack (TN765)
