User's Manual Part 4

Downloading ROM Code – continued
C-2 1X SC480 BTS Hardware Installation, Optimization/ATP, and FRU MAY 2004
PRELIMINARY
The Release level of the ROM code to be downloaded
must be the one specified for the software release installed
in the BSS. The release level of the ROM code resident in
the other devices in the BTS must also be correct for the
BSS software release being used. ROM code must not be
downloaded to a frame loaded with code for a BSS
software release with which it is not compatible.
This procedure should only be used to upgrade
replacement devices for a BTS. It should NOT be used to
upgrade all devices in a BTS. If a BTS is to be upgraded
from R15.x to R16.0, the upgrade should be done by the
OMC–R using the DownLoad Manager.
